@michael_nielsen A similar type of essay used to be one of the entrance exams for All Souls College in Oxford https://t.co/IlFsHWHwRf

@HeidiBaya @RSE_Asia @RSE_de @nl_rse @ResearchSoftEng @nordic_rse @rse_be @us_rse @RSESquirrel I think @patrickmineault - Good Research Code Handbook (https://t.co/jATnpfbwRJ) is a great resource and covers a few of the areas mentioned in this thread

Last week, a major AI milestone was hit: the BLOOM model was released, for everyone (including you!) to examine. What is this, and why is this important? 🧵👇 https://t.co/k5POZHHf1q

I posted this graph yesterday as part of the #30DayChartChallenge and a few people have asked some reasonable questions about why I chose to present this data in this way.

So I thought I'd write a thread to explain my thought process...

Word of the day is 'maw-worm' (19th century): one who insists that they have done nothing wrong, despite evidence to the contrary.

New Physics 🧵! Ludwig Boltzmann was not just a father of Statistical Physics but also a master of Thermodynamics. That’s how he got his name on the Stefan-Boltzmann law. If you allow me, I would love to walk you through a magic moment in physics history. /1

The Cistercian monks invented a numbering system in the 13th century which meant that any number from 1 to 9999 could be written using a single symbol

So do these non-medical masks we're all meant to be wearing actually do anything?

Well yes, yes they almost certainly do. Here's a thread about the current science.

Let's start by explaining this striking picture of a researcher speaking in a laser scattering chamber.

This is Johannes Kepler in a letter he wrote in 1610 telling Galileo that they need to do more telescopic observations of the Moon and Jupiter before spacecraft missions start visiting those planets. Yep, this conversation actually happened...in 1610 🤯

1 million medical face masks donated by Taiwan arrived in the UK this morning, as a gift for the British people. This is a truly amazing and wonderful act of friendship by Taiwan towards to the UK. A true friend indeed! Thank you President Tsai Ing-wen. @Taiwan_in_UK 🇹🇼🇬🇧😷❤️

Wrong, China is not our “partner.”

The Chinese Communist Party is an exploiter, of the Chinese people, and of America.

"The @WHO has been nothing but political throughout the COVID-19 outbreak. It has deferred to China almost every step of the way, presumably because China wields considerable power and influence over it," writes @redsteeze

Why is the @WHO choosing to play politics amid a global pandemic? #Taiwan should be lauded for how they have handled #Covid_19.

[外交部 Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ROC (Taiwan) 🇹🇼 @MOFA_Taiwan]

Wow, can’t even utter “Taiwan” in the WHO? You should set politics aside in dealing with a pandemic. FYI @WHO, 450+ news reports from 40+ countries so far positively covered #Taiwan’s handling of #COVID19. These reports do not mistake us as part of China & #TaiwanCanHelp. JW

[Inconvenient Truths — Jennifer Zeng Reports @jenniferzeng97]

Attention #Italy! After blaming #USArmy for bringing #CCPVirus #COVID2019 to #Wuhan, #CCP is trying to shift responsibility to you, saying your top expert Giuseppe Remuzzi said that #coronavirus symptoms appeared in Italy earlier than in #China. Report: https://t.co/O1JQXGdOTN

[John Bolton @AmbJohnBolton]

China silenced coronavirus whistleblowers, expelled journalists, destroyed samples, refused CDC help, and concealed counts of deaths and infections. It's fact there was a massive coverup. China is responsible. The world must act to hold them accountable.
