Dear phone,

it is indeed *much more likely* that I try to write "ABS" than "and".

I mean, one of these words is among the ten most frequently used words in English. So obviously, I must be using the other one.

With love ABS hope,
Olga

“zipf maneuvers: on non-reprintable materials”, by andrew c. wenaus & germán sierra

Sierra e Wenaus utilizzano un algoritmo Python per riorganizzare i loro articoli originali secondo le distribuzioni Zipfiane, ordinando alfabeticamente e indicizzando numericamente ogni parola. Questa riorganizzazione produce un set di dati frammentato e non lineare che resiste alla lettura convenzionale. A ogni parola viene assegnato un numero corrispondente alla sua posizione originale nel testo, creando una struttura disarticolata, simile a un catalogo. Il risultato è una protesta contro la finanziarizzazione della conoscenza da parte delle aziende e una critica alle leggi sulla proprietà intellettuale che ne limitano l’accesso. Trasformando i propri saggi in dati riorganizzati algoritmicamente, Zipf Maneuvers mette in atto una singolare forma di resistenza, denunciando l’assurdità di un sistema che ostacola la libera circolazione delle idee

@johncarlosbaez Hi, we should better talk about #Zipf's lawS (plural). A very good overview is given by my colleague #ClaudiaPrün . More references here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Kingsley_Zipf
George Kingsley Zipf – Wikipedia

Zipf's law can be used to identify outliers, i.e. the values that strongly deviate from a linear trend line.

On parle rapidement de la loi de #Zipf (checkez les illustrations de l'article WP anglais pour avoir une intuition de ce que c'est : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf's_law ) en cours d'intro au TAL, et y a une question con qui m'est venue :

Est-ce possible d'écrire un texte long, intelligible (une nouvelle, un roman, un article…), mais qui ne respecte pas cette loi empirique ? 🤔

A catalog of all human cells reveals a mathematical pattern

Smaller cells occur in larger numbers in the human body, and cells of different size classes contribute equally to our overall mass.

Wenn ich auf #Zipf und Ord wart,
denk ich an die #Wortart:
Es ist kein gutes Omen nich,
find hinterm Verb ein Nomen ich.

(Alt, aber immer noch zutreffend).
