Gracias @jamestanton y @ColinTheMathmo por la demostración experimental, en un maravilloso evento de cierre, del primer principio de la matemática: tras una pregunta lo suficientemente sencilla se encuentra el placer y el descubrimiento de una sucesión infinita. #EduCaixaMAPS

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: ELON MUSK ADMITS SECRET MASS CENSORSHIP OF HIS CRITICS ON TWITTER Everything he said about what he planned to do with Twitter was a lie. No MAGA can possibly stand by him after this. He betrayed the one principle he said he had. newrepublic.com/post/189770/…

"The web dev of the future will be an underpaid generalist who pokes at chatbot output until it runs without error, pokes at a copilot until it generates tests that pass with some coverage, and ships code that nobody understands and can’t be fixed if something goes wrong."

I've recently been talking a bit about how difficult it is to carefully check even well-written mathematics. I want to try to explain something about this by telling the story of some errors in the literature that (in part) led to the two papers below. 1/n

WOW! NYC firefighter unions, which supported Donald Trump, just SLAMMED him and Elon Musk for removing 9/11 first responder healthcare funding from the government funding bill! Trump has already forgotten about these heroes!

While Toby Young is in the news, let’s remember the time when he added 2 and 2 together to get five (his calculation would suggest 1% IFR not 0.1%).

Gisèle Pelicot waived anonymity in a mass rape trial, so that "macho, patriarchal society that trivialises rape" could change. Her courage unfathomable, no honour too great, she stood up for ALL women, changed history and yet Time's Person of the Year is a male sexual assaulter:

Please stop doing this! It’s numerical gaslighting of the highest order. Stop trying to manipulate us by showing part of the graph. We know that what you're showing doesn't look like a 19% increase. Stopping truncated y-axes is a hill I am prepared to die on!
