I channeled my inner Marvin Minsky to give a different perspective on AI science. It ended up being about how our lazy attitude toward our language stops science from its (utopian-level) full potential … and stuff. petterhol.me/2025/02/09/ess…
5-6 years ago, I coded Picasso's "constellation drawings" (1924) into adjacency lists for network fans out there. It's about time to share them publicly: github.com/pholme/constel… Disclaimer: They are probably pretty buggy (see the Readme)

What is the significance of #postdoc training? What factors drive the success (as measured by citations) of early career scientists? Should they shift their #research focus or move to a more prestigious institution post-PhD to excel in #academia? In our newly published brief…

That's a canny resemblance. You typical R2 = 0.1 point cloud is more similar. It's the dynamics that characterizes murmurations. 😝 (Haven't read the post tho.)
