I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...
I’m an award-winning mathematician. Trump just cut my funding.
The “Mozart of Math” tried to stay out of politics. Then it came for his research.

Terence Tao (@teorth.bsky.social) has written a thread on Mastodon about the impact of the federal grant freeze to UCLA, particularly to his own field of Mathematics. UCLA's IPAM (Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics) could shut down entirely

My former student @msalbergo.bsky.social has beautiful papers describing the approach on the right. “Flow matching” and “stochastic interpolants” were concurrent developments of the same core idea.

Optimal transport computes an interpolation between two distributions using an optimal coupling. Flow matching, on the other hand, uses a simpler “independent” coupling, which is the product of the marginals.

I am collecting examples of the most thoughtful writing about generative AI published in 2024. What’s yours? They can be insightful for commentary, smart critique, or just because it shifted the conversation. I’ll post some of mine below as I go through them. #criticalAI

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon.

Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵

„Reinhard Kleists „Low. David Bowie’s Berlin Years“ zeichnet eine gut dokumentierte Periode aus dem Leben des Musikers nach. Umso erstaunlicher, dass der Band trotzdem fesselt und überrascht“: Meine Kollegin @nadinelange.bsky.social im @tagesspiegel.de:

Reinhard Kleist zeichnet David Bowie: Mit dem Rad durch West-Berlin
Im zweiten Teil seiner Bowie-Biografie zeigt der Berliner Zeichner, wie der Superstar sich in der Mauerstadt von seinen amerikanischen Eskapaden erholt und einen neuen Sound findet.

In response to my own prompt, here's what I've been thinking about - but really curious what concepts other people are engaging with and putting into practice.

As prelude I've been struggling with the common "exploratory vs explanatory" conceit...
Hey #datavis - I'm interested in a conversation around what makes for good, audience-faced, *exploratory* data visualization.

A lot of data vis focuses on techniques to add meaning and tell a story - using explanatory methods to improve on what exploratory modes can offer.

But...
