Mate it’s not just The Pitt. And I’m sorry to have ruined every other TV show for you now.

✍️ Our paper is finally out!
All poetic forms come from somewhere, but figuring out their relationships is hard.
We use sequence alignment on scansion (010.10) to measure metrical similarity between poems. This allows us to detect related forms across languages and times 1/

I think that’s what they might be in the process of doing unfortunately…
It’s an actual Christmas miracle.

Disappointing ending for a Strikers fan, but how about that win probability curve! #BBL13
Bon Iver are great, but imagine how much better they'd sound if they didn't always record themselves from the bottom of a deep well
“students are often unhappy with math, because they think it requires some innate things that they don’t have. But that’s not true; really it relies on the same type of intuition we use every day.”
I couldn’t agree more. Looks like a great book.

That seems very odd indeed.
🚨NEW study from @qutdmrc.bsky.social with eye-opening! 👀 findings!
The computational analysis of engagement found that X's algorithm was changed in July 2024 to boost Republican-leaning & Elon Musk's accounts during US election

Elon Musk’s generative AI chatbot, Grok, turns on him, labelling him “one of the most significant spreaders of misinformation on X”.
It might not map! The central idea is just that community structure (such as you would get from balkanisation) can promote cascades… but it’s all for very specific forms of information spread.
Yeah, great question. In an earlier draft we pointed towards a classic network science-y result that suggests greater balkanisation -> more easily influenced, but this is only one very specific “lens” through which to look at the problem. academic.oup.com/jcr/article-...
I wrote a thing with Mel Humphries and Jono Tuke (who have both deactivated their Twitter accounts) on where to next for the bird site in Trump's second term.
... TL;DR it doesn't look great.
