  1. The review of an #esoteric tome on #continuations blunders on like an over-caffeinated grad student's fever dream 💤💻. The author can't decide if it's groundbreaking or a $100 paperweight 📚❓. Spoiler: it has no exercises - because who needs practice when you've got #theoretical #ramblings, right? 🤷‍♂️

  5. 🎉 Oh look, another article where someone writes a thesis on how they *totally* could have caught a #backdoor using their favorite niche OS—because #hindsight is 20/20 and #NixOS is the new superhero cape. 🦸‍♂️🔍 Meanwhile, the rest of the world continues using xz obliviously, because who needs practical #solutions when you have #theoretical ones? 🙄

    The Amazing History of #Locality in #Theoretical #Physics

    #Philosopher #DavidAlbert rambles (his word) for ½ hour on the often gripping (and #funny) #saga of #nonlocality in #scientific #thought. Starting with #fish, he ushers us along to #Bell's #Theorem in the 1960s. It seems we are "inescapably" in the age of nonlocality. Perhaps an age of #TimeTravelers?

  7. Did you know that #invisibility cloaks are #real?

    From the 2nd c's Cap of Hades to #Marvel 's Invisible Woman, magic that renders one #invisible is a common theme in #mythology & #scifi.

    In 2006, #theoretical #physicist John Pendry figured out that light could be bent around an object so that it renders it invisible.
    This led to many advancements in metamaterial science, known as 'metamaterial cloaking'.

    I've enjoyed this talk by Pendry: youtube.com/watch?v=VO6IrynhjK [start: 4:43min]

  8. There is a divide between #theoretical and #applied #econometrics

    "…perhaps a fair characterization is that applied work has improved over time, but it has also become much more homogeneous.
    Instead, the applied toolbox ought to be growing exponentially, yet the opposite is occurring. As I said in the prior post, this is bad, bad science."

  13. I put this #chart together almost 10 years ago to help #nonprofit orgs think about their relationship to #data and #InformationTechnology .

    I'm posting it here, because there seem to be a lot of conversations about #epistemology - ranging from the #practical to the #theoretical Perhaps this chart can be adapted to #contexts beyond the original one.
