¿Qué leyes rigen el comportamiento social? YouTube video by Los máquinas (de Turing)

Mis amigos @jmrparrondo.bsky.social y Bartolo Luque me han invitado a un episodio de su video-podcast "Los Máquinas de Turing" y hemos tenido una conversación muy interesante sobre lo divino, lo humano y lo interdisciplinar. Muchísimas gracias a los dos! youtu.be/_HB7ZRgwV0o?...

Más paridad, menos colaboración: la paradoja de la igualdad en la investigación científica La homofilia funciona como un mecanismo silencioso que mantiene desigualdades incluso cuando las cifras parecen equilibradas. Reconocerlo es un paso imprescindible para que la ciencia sea no solo diversa, sino realmente inclusiva.

"La colaboración entre mujeres y hombres toca valores mínimos cuando ellas alcanzan entre un 35 % y un 40% de representación en un área".

En unos ámbitos, se peca de corporativismo; en otros, de todo lo contrario. Y da miedito.

#rstats 4.3.3 submitted to updates-testing for @fedora 38-40 and EPEL 8-9 https://twitter.com/pdalgd/status/1763127884175004064

As an alternative visualization, Andrés proposes a graph that plots reported GDP against the estimate, so that it is very easy to see the inflation just by looking at those countries outside the 1:1 line

Of course, everybody loves an animated version! 😅 https://t.co/ofxA2gAuW4

Then, she goes on discussing the graph, and leverages other attributes in the dataset to produce this nice alternative that gives us much more info, such as the gender gap! 👇

Global living standards are moving in the wrong direction Climate change and conflict could make things even worse

In this project, Emma uses United Nation’s Human Development Index (HDI) data to replicate this graph by The Economist 👇

Y ya no me meto en dificultad de entender vs. hacer... Aunque la RAE no parece recoger nada en cuanto a lo segundo. https://twitter.com/Uhandrea/status/1546774511856586753?t=WHc1aW5FZ4r8SGbM3W7eAw&s=19

Hoy me he acordado de esto porque resulta que la acepción 1 de "complejo" coincide con la 2 de "complicado" (muchas elementos) y la 2 de "complejo" con la 1 de "complicado" (de difícil comprensión). Así que esto es difícil, complejo y complicado, se mire por donde se mire. https://t.co/d680lPIwUw
