This schematisation by @dann is an interesting way to classify data structures — by analysing if they are abstract specifications/concrete implementations: youtu.be/2XH_q494U3U?t=…

While I was in grad school at CMU, I had the honor and privilege of learning from prof. John Reynolds. He was brilliant, but also incredibly humble. After knowing him, I stopped giving a pass to the "asshole genuis" types. Here are some stories. 1/

People tweet all sorts of things about real numbers, especially when it comes to computation. I've studied the topic for years, and I often disagree with such statements. Let me address just one such statement: "A computer cannot represent all reals, only the computable ones."

Anyone know of a Banach-Tarski-like construction that allows reassembly of a sphere from any sufficiently large subset of pieces (e.g., any three out of five)?

Deepfakes will save us all: like differential privacy for numerical data, deepfakes offer plausible deniability for the surveillance age. Corollary: unsigned data is inherently untrustworthy.

We also have an industry panel! Panelists Jon Pither from @juxtpro, @morrifeldman from @AppsFlyerDev, and @sbelak from @metabase all gave their insights into how they manage data in their respective use cases. Moderated by @dann youtu.be/4XuwiJnMn0Q #clojure #clojurenorth

I once did a pair programming session with Joe. The lesson he gave me that day: Don't be afraid to look stupid. Many years after I still feel his influence in my professional life. What a humble and wise man he was!
