  11. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 📝📊 The #SAT was first administered to 8,000 students in June 1926, born from #WorldWarI #military I.Q. tests designed by #Princeton psychologist and eugenicist Carl Brigham.

    Now taken by two million #students annually, fewer than 10% of U.S. #colleges require it for fall 2026 admissions, a shift accelerated by the #Covid #pandemic and long standing debates about what the test actually measures. The article traces the test’s #evolution from a tool that helped break into the old boys’ network of elite colleges to an #exam whose scores strongly correlate with family #income.

  12. Hype for the Future 191A: Route 65 in Northern Missouri

    Introduction Within the State of Missouri, Route 65 is a notable north-south highway through the west-central portion of the State and is largely rural, save for the communities around Springfield and Branson in the southern portion of the State. North of the Missouri River, notable communities include cities and villages such as Chillicothe, Princeton, and Trenton, each with unique characteristics that differentiate each municipality from the surrounding rural territories. Interestingly, […]

  13. "[A] small cohort of teenage computer enthusiasts from the Princeton, N.J., area flaunted a clever work-around: They borrowed an acoustic coupler—a forerunner of the computer modem—and connected it to a nearby pay phone. With this hardware in place, the youngsters dialed in to an off-site minicomputer.

    The teenagers called themselves the RESISTORS, a retronym (they picked the moniker first and then matched words to the letters) for “Radically Emphatic Students Interested in Science, Technology, Or Research Studies.” The trade publication Computerworld gave the RESISTORS front-page billing—“Students Steal Show as Conference Opens”—and noted how the group drew a “fascinated crowd” of computer professionals. A reporter even suggested that the RESISTORS represented the vanguard of a small-scale social movement as the teens sought to engage with their counterparts from “underprivileged areas of Trenton” and introduce them to personal computing.

    In the modern history of computing, a story about a small cohort of teens “playing” with computers might seem tangential. But the previously untold history of the RESISTORS highlights the fact that, years before there were machines called personal computers, some people regularly accessed computers for activities unrelated to their professional lives. Motives varied, but entertainment as well as the display of technical prowess mattered. Just as important, the story of the RESISTORS expands our sense of the hobbyist community beyond later and better-known groups like the Bay Area’s Homebrew Computer Club."

  14. The #Trump admin is also attempting to #deport some foreign protesters & has revoked hundreds of #visas across the country.

    The Trump admin has frozen or canceled some #funding for #universities like #Columbia, #Princeton, #Brown, University of #Pennsylvania, #Cornell & #Northwestern as well.

  15. R.I.P. Jerry Ostriker (1937-2025)

    Once again I find myself using this blog to pass on sad news. This time it is of the death of renowned astrophysicist Jerry Ostriker (pictured left in 2012), who passed away on Monday 6th April 2025 just a week before his 88th birthday.

    Jeremiah Paul Ostriker (to give his full name) was an extremely energetic, versatile and influential theorist who worked on a wide range of problems in diverse areas of astrophysics and produced a number of classic papers. Close to my own specialism I would quote two in particular: one written with Jim Peebles in 1973 about the stability of galactic disks; and the other with Martin Rees in 1977 about the role of gas cooling and fragmentation in determining the size of galaxies and clusters. He also did much to establish the use of hydrodynamic simulations in cosmology and was an early adopter of the current standard cosmological model, including a cosmological constant. He worked on many other things too, including pulsars and galactic nuclei.

    I only met Jerry Ostriker a few times, mainly at conferences – where he was never shy to contribute to discussions after talks – but also once back in the 1990s when I was a visitor Princeton (where he was Professor). I didn’t have much time to talk to him then as he always seemed to be on the go, so I never really got to know him personally. After spending most of his career in Princeton, including a spell as Provost, in 2001 Ostriker moved to Cambridge for a short stint as Plumian Professor, before returning to Princeton.

    There is a very nice obituary of Jerry Ostriker by Dennis Overbye in the New York Times.

    Rest in peace, Jerry Ostriker

    @sayashk is a #ComputerScience #PhD candidate at #Princeton, who is researching failures in #ML (he's also co-running a workshop on open #FoundationModels in about 15 hours, see my previous posts for more info) 🇺🇸

    @michcampbell is Dr Micha Campbell and she is a #PalaeoClimate #PostDoc living on #Dharawal country 🇦🇺

    @mthv is a #Research #Engineer who works in #GIS at #CNRS 🇫🇷

    @astrolori is Lori and she is into #OpenSource, #fashion, #space and #tech #WomenInSTEM 🇨🇦

    @pandas_dev is the official account for #pandas, the #Python #DataAnalysis tool 🐍 📊

    @jessie is a lover of #languages and helps run #CommonVoice, @mozilla 's open #voice #data set, which now supports over 100 languages. She also teaches #WebDev and loves #hiking. She's awesome you should follow her 🇬🇧

    That's all for now, please do share your own lists so we can create deeper connections, and a tightly-connected community here

    I'm reminded here of @maryrobinette's short story - "Red Rockets" - "She built something better than fireworks. She built community."

  18. Folx, if you're into #LLM #LLMs, and #ResponsibleAI, then you're going to enjoy this workshop by #Princeton #CITP and #Stanford #CRFM on Responsible and Open Foundation Models, on September 21, 11AM-5:30PM Eastern time (8AM-2:30PM Pacific Time). All welcome.

    From the website:
    Workshop participants will learn from experts in different fields who have worked on release strategies, risk mitigation, and policy interventions for developing open foundation models responsibly.
