einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter: (1) your haters are trash (2) you’re a baller, a true queen (3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️

Merci Indiana Jones : le mythe d'un IIIe Reich fasciné par l'occulte et les sociétés secrètes et la magie lui doit beaucoup.

Un mythe, qui s'appuie comme tous les mythes sur quelques éléments factuels, mais (très) exagérés. Je vous raconte tout ça sur Slate.

On Facebook Matt Parker posted that there was a huge increase in PubMed papers using the phrase "delving into" since 2023, which he attributed to generative AI. I checked on Web of Science and found this: the phrase doubled in abstracts in 2023, and is on track to double again this year.

Hey remember last week when the enthusiastic jeering was directed at cheeky little shits who call faculty members by their first names? Well get with the times, losers, because the Discourse’s magnetic field has flipped again.

I know it as "Mathematics is the Queen of all sciences and Arithmetic (i.e. Number Theory) is the Queen of Mathematics" (commonly attributed to Gauss), while "Philosophy is the servant of Theology" (paraphrased from Aquinas). Make of that what you will, I am not prepared to defend either statement

Getting pitched yet another wave of GPTified “Grading and Feedback” tools. Tempted to adopt them just to fully close the loop.
