Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

1/n: There are some academic papers that are so brilliantly and so accessibly written and so universal in scope that they transcend disciplines and stand as timeless testaments to both great thinking and great writing. Here's a short personal selection:

It is with great remorse that we mark the passing of programming language pioneer and A.M. Turing Laureate Niklaus Wirth, who passed away on Jan 1, 2024. Wirth developed a sequence of innovative computer languages, EULER, ALGOL-W, MODULA and PASCAL, which provided a foundation for future computer language, systems, and architectural research. amturing.acm.org/award_winners/…

In 1921, David Hilbert proposed a research program for grounding mathematics in absolute certainty. A decade later, Kurt Gödel proved that math is incomplete. In 1936, work by a young Alan Turing proved that some problems can’t be solved by algorithms. quantamagazine.org/complexity-the…

Αύγουστος του 1999 στην άδεια Αθήνα. Ένα ζευγάρι γνωρίζεται έξω από ένα καρτοτηλέφωνο. Στα 24 χρόνια που πέρασαν η πόλη έχει αλλάξει και η Αθήνα που μας σύστησαν τα «Φτηνά Τσιγάρα» του Ρένου Χαραλαμπίδη έχει πια «χαθεί» σχεδόν ολοκληρωτικά. Ας κάνουμε μαζί μια βόλτα… [thread] /1

@easyjet I understand rerouting a flight but why wait until just a few hours before takeoff to let us know? And why not arrange for a few buses to get your passengers to their final destination?

Claude Shannon, the father of Information theory: Claude Shannon is widely recognized as the father of information theory. His groundbreaking work in the mid-20th century laid the foundation for modern communication systems and digital technology. Shannon's most influential contribution was his 1948 paper, "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," where he introduced the concept of information entropy. This measure allowed for the quantification of information and optimization of its transmission, revolutionizing fields such as telecommunication and data compression. Shannon's work on error-correcting codes enabled the reliable transmission of information even in the presence of noise or interference. This led to significant advancements in data storage and reliable communication systems. He also played a pivotal role in the development of digital computers. He applied Boolean logic to design logical circuits, which form the basis of modern computer architecture. His ideas and designs were instrumental in shaping the digital revolution we experience today. Shannon's scientific contributions as the father of information theory and computing transformed the way we communicate, paved the way for efficient data transmission, and laid the foundation for the digital technologies we rely on. His work continues to have a profound impact on various fields, making him a true pioneer of the Information Age.

@AlSweigart The depth of a node is the length of the path from the root to the node. Nodes G and H are at depth 3. Node A, the root, is at depth 0.
