🌀 Oh joy, another thrilling installment in the riveting world of #inequalities, because nothing screams "exciting read!" like #semicircles and 3D containers. 🎉 Andrei's word salad cleverly disguises the fact that he stumbled upon a picture and decided it was worth an entire blog post. 🙄

…symmetry isn’t just a preference for “pretty” shapes. Contents Introduction The HM-AM-GM-QM Inequality The two circles The Semicircle The Container The 3D container The Sum of Squares Inequality Nesbitt’s Inequality Conclusion Introduction While I was randomly browsing the web, I came across this nice picture: Roland H. Eddy, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada, 1985 And it tickled my imagination a little, just enough to write this short post.

“We have allowed #inequalities to harden, #socialmobility to stall, and trust to erode, undermining #socialcohesion.”

Just spent almost two weeks without electricity in my home (which is a boat). Topping up phone and laptop here and there in cafes or in the car. On this particular boat that also meant no toilet and no running water. My only luxuries were candles and a wood fire.

Tonight everything is back on, and let me tell you: cherish every drop that comes out of your tap and every flush because billions of people still live like this.

Whether we #exercise adequately, matters for health. But our health is also embedded in unchecked politics, class struggle, patriarchy and #global #inequalities every day. Erosion of #democracy by mass #surveillance technologies disguised as 'innovation', and unchecked #biopolitics, are affecting our health, #physiology, and well-being.

Politics of planetary health matters in #thesetimes of polycrisis because health, prescriptions, #drugs, and #innovation are inherently #political.

What is f(x) ≤ g(x) + O(1)? Inequalities With Asymptotics

What is f(x) ≤ g(x) + O(1)? Inequalities With Asymptotics

Recently I came across asympotic inequalities of the form $f(x) \le g(x) + O(1)$ in Li and Vitanyi’s An Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity and Its Applications, where this notion is used to discuss bounds on the complexity of strings. In this post I give a brief definition of what this notation means and how it relates to standard asymptotic notation. Particulary, I’m only going to talk about the case of $O(1)$, but the same ideas can be extended to $O(h(x))$ for any function $h(x)$.

“It’s a reminder that #feminism is powerful and important and even transformative, which is why there’s so much pushback from those who benefit from the old #inequalities and the old silences, which are pretty much the same thing.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Decades of feminism paved the road to Andrew’s arrest

The outcry and activism of the 2010s – itself enabled by earlier generations of feminists – brought us to this moment. But if the Trump administration has its way, opposing forces will prevail

Video from a good alumni event: Bringing #Birmingham to You: Beautiful #Brains - building #neurodiverse futures https://youtu.be/8Hc19BukDsc "Our panel of academics and lived-experience experts talk about how #neurodiversity can transform #workplace culture, boost resilience, and empowers #inclusive leadership. Explore with us how widening #access to education and the workforce helps address social #inequalities. We share tips and signpost ways to properly support neurodivergent colleagues. And hear how Birmingham researchers are informing national #policy at government level."
