I traveled around the Midwest in search of the best Art Deco skyscrapers. Here are 10 you should know. Starting off strong with the Carbide and Carbon building in Chicago. 1929

Tony Hawk dressed up as Larry David for Halloween and there will never be a better photograph taken ever again.

The new edition of one of the most popular machine learning textbooks is coming in summer 2023 and unlike all the previous editions is in Python 🐍 and available for free as PDF book.

When it comes to machine learning Python is clearly taking over, for time series it already did couple of years ago, see my Medium article “Python vs R for time-series forecasting”

@LesJohnsonHrvat @ClimateOfGavin 2023 is not over yet, unclear if the other year totals are reduced to match % of year

@EmmaTiv Looks cozy, would join Luther

Physicists have used Google's quantum computer to send a signal through a wormhole, a shortcut in space-time first theorized by Einstein and Rosen in 1935. The landmark experiment was published today in Nature. Lots to say about it. Here's my deep dive: https://t.co/t14BpRwsUo

Citicorp Center was built in 1977.

Located in NY, it was the world's 7th tallest building but had a big structural flaw: a very strong storm wind could knock it over.

The expert architects had no idea, until an anonymous Princeton undergrad cold called them.

Here’s the story🧵

Fred Kummerow, PhD, 1st published his findings about the harm of veg oil trans fats in 1957. Often heckled by industry reps at scientific conferences, he never gave up. Finally, at age 98, he sued FDA & prevailed. Ban went into effect 58 years after FDA knew of harm.

@CPercySearle @Evan_Hadfield I don't want to promote violence. .. but seriously the fact no one snapped is surprising

Last night, Canada honoured me with a Governor General's Award and this video. I'm not crying. It's just maple syrup. @stevenpage is a friend and legend for wasting this amazing song on me. Thank you to Her Excellency, @GGCanada, Mary Simon. #GGAwards @CanadasNAC I'm a wreck.
