Trust me I'm a scientist :)

That one entity has sole authority to create money is entirely antithetical to capitalism. One cannot be a capitalist and advocate for central banking any more than a capitalist advocates for central shoe cobbling, central car manufacturing, or central oil production. #bitcoin

(Also I did not write "850,000 lines of code" -- many of those "lines" tracked by github are in model files. There are about 68,000 lines in the current software, and I don't care how many of those I personally authored)

(7/7) more about black holes and other subjects I am passionate about -- including space, being a gay astronomer, Ursula K. Le Guin, architecture, and musicals. Thanks for following me, and let me know if you have any questions about the EHT! 😀📡🕳️

[Andrew Chael @thisgreyspirit]

(6/7) So while I appreciate the congratulations on a result that I worked hard on for years, if you are congratulating me because you have a sexist vendetta against Katie, please go away and reconsider your priorities in life. Otherwise, stick around -- I hope to start tweeting

(5/7) out that this was a team effort including contributions from many junior scientists, including many women junior scientists (https://t.co/Gte2sTNLXo). Together, we all make each other's work better; the number of commits doesn't tell the full story of who was indispensable.

[Andrew Chael @thisgreyspirit]

(4/7) as a result, this is probably the most vetted image in the history of radio interferometry. I'm thrilled Katie is getting recognition for her work and that she's inspiring people as an example of women's leadership in STEM. I'm also thrilled she's pointing

(3/7) the work of many others who wrote code, debugged, and figured out how to use the code on challenging EHT data. With a few others, Katie also developed the imaging framework that rigorously tested all three codes and shaped the entire paper (https://t.co/hgJrv3gOE5);

[Andrew Chael @thisgreyspirit]

(2/7) Our papers used three independent imaging software libraries (including one developed by my friend @sparse_k). While I wrote much of the code for one of these pipelines, Katie was a huge contributor to the software; it would have never worked without her contributions and

[Andrew Chael @thisgreyspirit]

(1/7) So apparently some (I hope very few) people online are using the fact that I am the primary developer of the eht-imaging software library (https://t.co/n7djw1r9hY) to launch awful and sexist attacks on my colleague and friend Katie Bouman. Stop.

Fascinating graph. Since 1990, computers, databases, and the internet should have dramatically cut the personnel cost of hospital administration. It has instead increased by 20-30x.

The problem is structural, not technological, and I doubt AI will have any impact there.

Ever heard of a Hell Pig, Archaeotherium? Not actually related to modern pigs, the Hell Pig lived during the Early Oligocene, North America. Omnivores who scavenged dead animals. Closely related to modern hippos & whales. https://t.co/Zv1UCcHVuL #chinesenewyear #yearofthepig

@IdahoStateU @IMNH208 How will you be scanning it? photogrammetry or lazer?

Did you know you can go sit in a library ALL DAY and read the books and NEVER buy one, not even check it out, and no one will give you stink eye? you don't even have to buy coffee? and there are boxes of old stuff and librarians will look up stuff for FREE? libraries are great.

@CityofCT @CityofCTAlerts the sun rises in the eastish and sets in the westish bro, that picture is in the afternoon.
