German mathematician Emmy Noether was born #OTD in 1882.

One of her most significant contributions is Noether's Theorem, which establishes a fundamental connection between symmetries & conservation laws in physics. This theorem has had profound implications in fields such as quantum mechanics, particle physics & field theory. Despite facing discrimination as a woman in academia during her time, Noether persevered & made enduring contributions to mathematics and physics.

We had NO idea what was coming.

Starting a reading list for only normcore content around LLMs. What would you add?

Normcore = no hype, no langchain, no AI is going to destroy us all, but practical, technical readings in navigating in this brave new world.

ā€œPenthouses, power and plutocrat nations,
Rallies with cheering and standing ovations,
Big brassy buildings and homes fit for kings,
These are a few of his favorite thingsā€¦ā€ - These are from several years ago, but I hadn’t seen them before. Some are excellent! https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/08/opinion/letters/letters-variations.html
Opinion | Songs, Poems and Parodies: Readers Compose ā€˜Variations’

We invited readers to stretch the traditional boundaries of a letter to the editor, in verse, song or some other form. Many couldn’t resist the urge to aim their wit at the president.

Buttigieg’s description of the Supreme Court as ā€œout of touchā€ is accurate, but perhaps mostly in a way he didn’t intend. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/03/buttigeig-supreme-court-lgbtq-website/?itid=ap_philipbump
Buttigieg calls SCOTUS ā€˜out of step’ on LGBTQ+ issues. He has a point.

The web-design case the Supreme Court just ruled on was framed as a free-speech issue. But it reflected a minority, right-wing position on the subject.
