“Mathsjam at the movies.”

Just discovered https://lib.reviews/ by @eloquence and really like the concept so far! #recommendation #reviews #open #libre

Wow, great to see this from #EPFL, their #DeepLearning course with #PyTorch: https://documents.epfl.ch/users/f/fl/fleuret/www/dlc/

Keep up the good work over there in Lausanne!

Wow, just learned that @scott (the author of *the* book on #d3js, http://alignedleft.com/work/d3-book-2e) hasn't just joined Mastodon but has even set-up his own data-#visualization focused instance at vis.social!

Interesting read, but unsurprisingly very #economics-focused. I miss a bit the mention of technological solutions that would reduce the inevitability of network effects - read: open standards and protocols which allow people to interact across provider boundaries, enabling #decentralization.

Trump's retweets of a British anti-Muslim hate group sound alarms for those who study the propaganda behind some of history's greatest tragedies.
