Imaginary numbers were an old school way of representing vectors (w/ rotations) — and they’re still used a lot in computer graphics. There’s a unified representation of both kinds of “vector things” called Clifford algebra, which is ideal for physics, especially Schrödinger’s equations.

Bugonia was great. Felt like The Menu (high praise).

Learning every additional detail of the Mamdani team makes me want to cry 🥲

I’m proud of NYC and CA 🥲

This is the best figure I’ve seen in a whitepaper in a long time, bravo @ai2.bsky.social, delightful.

Prop 50 is about making sure workers and communities keep their voices in Congress. #YesOnProp50 La Proposición 50 busca garantizar que los trabajadores y las comunidades mantengan sus voces en el Congreso. ¡Sí a la Proposición 50!

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

@ryankmetz.bsky.social I really enjoyed your conversation with Wil on @geospatial.fm overcast.fm/+ABAWL3ZN1YU

This makes me proud to primary program in Python. What a great community to be a part of.

In this lecture, a great sermon. It’s like I’ve found religion. youtu.be/-J_xL4IGhJA?...

endianness is just a plot by Big Endian to sell more byte swap operations

Let the eat cake

This still is the funniest joke on the web

🌍 Announcing SamudrACE, our AI climate emulator built so scientists & planners can run “what-if” climate experiments quickly. Traditional models are slow and costly; SamudrACE makes high-quality simulations fast & more accessible. 🧵

Has anyone made a π-thon joke yet?

I love art

Looks like Google is cooking up a “framework soup.” github.com/google/torchax

Six weeks ago, my mom broke her foot on a hike during our family reunion. Two days ago, my dad also broke his foot when we were out walking together on a trip. Man, I’m bad luck!

It’s my 33rd Birthday!🎂

If you see this, post a picture from your device without explaining it.

@mcognetta.bsky.social I’m reading your post (mcognetta.github.io/posts/leetco...), this is hilarious and brilliant!

I love papers like these that answer a cross cutting concern when modeling in a domain. These optimizers are interesting and I hope to incorporate these methods into my work. arxiv.org/html/2509.17...

I used to work on this team, they’re doing amazing work in ML and weather!

Really cool preprint just came out on how ECMWF’s new weather model trained from direct observations only recreates a physically consistent understanding of the Earth ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/2508.18...

I just finished the paper. What an excellent read! Data Science is a commons built on frictionless reproducibility. We have hit the repro singularity, and we’re far from AGI. Scaling focus is the AI hegemony privatizing the commons for their gain. The future of data science is shared, better ideas.

Reminds me of this classic: joelgrus.com/2016/05/23/f...

I know I haven’t been home enough bc my work laptop doesn’t connect to my mom’s wifi

You’re damn right! baileysnyder.com/interactive-...

I’m excited at the prospect of using analog computers for LLMs — they’re way more power efficient, and are robust to the noise inherent to them. IBM has been killing it lately with their work in applied science, it’s cool to see them build this, too. arxiv.org/pdf/2505.09663

Calculus is a mathematical description of reality based on infinity. Information theory is a mathematical description of reality based on the logarithm. Both are all explanatory of the universe.

Asking questions when you don’t know is good and cool. The people around you who “already know” might be surprised when they learn something new. It’s so much better to just ask instead of pretend you’re on the same page. This is true in social settings — better to ask their name early than late.

I’m having a great time digesting “Data Science at the Singularity” and thinking about data products arxiv.org/abs/2310.00865

This reminds me of Taylor Lorenz’s recent podcast episode on clankers: “Robots won’t be oppressed. Robots will be doing the oppressing.” overcast.fm/+ABHI4VaWKtM

My hobby: mixing metaphors

happy 3²/4²/5² to ask those who celebrate

Or worse still: letting the wolves into the fold, even while they are in the middle of slaughtering the herd, based on nothing more than our vague sense that it would be rude to call them wolves

I did it – I have a thousand unread emails and crinkled, coffee-stained white papers strewn across my desk. I'm a real scientist.

My wife made these stickers custom for us and other speed limit enjoyers of our home town.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Everyone should be held to the same standards.

We get to do this again, I guess

We cannot move forward or escape this nightmare until mainstream figures finally admit that there are many, many people on the right - including some of its most powerful voices - who are openly seeking violence and tyranny and exploit every situation to move it closer.
