@mdreid Hi! Looking to contact you with a quick question on Bregman divergences (triggered by a post of yours on Mathoverflow a while back...). Could only find ANU email address but got the email back. If you have a minute and do not mind, let me know how I can contact you?

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

@scmbradley Came here after a long twitter absence just for this.

@jweisber 😱

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

@jweisber @liaoshenyi Please. Please.

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

@jweisber I've never considered using those scripts precisely because of this. I think that's a very good reason not to use them. Don't @ me or whatever it is that kids say around here.

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

@jweisber asking about the bad typography of the documentation or about the angel's death in response to your eyes being harmed? not sure which is more baffling

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

@fabcariani @jweisber *I won't look at it... I won't look at it...*

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

@jweisber I still don't know whether it's Monday or not.

@KevinZollman @Wiglet1981 Just add \end{document} right after "Hello world" and you'll be done.

@pythagrex When are you doing one about philosophers?

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

@itaisher Did you reply all? If so, your email probably came across as the most passive agressive reminder ever...

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

@davewripley I guess this is closer in spirit to your guess in the next tweet...

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

@davewripley Why would the constructivist view need to say that mathematical *objects* are socially constructed, as opposed to mathematical truth? (Insert Kreisel quote here blah blah)

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

@Wiglet1981 Love the shot!

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

Probability folk: is there a 'standard' topology over the set of probability distributions over a given (finite) space?

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

@standefer I think my attempts at typing 'smh' on the search bad in the past have been thwarted by the tempting distraction of continuing with ".com.au"

[Alejandro Pérez Carballo @przcrbll]

I finally gave up and Googled "smh". At last I now know what the kids are going on about.
