Periodic reminder that I've always enjoyed the @petshopboys much more than Pink Floyd. Nothing against the latter, but they never resonated with me like the former. Thank you for the music boys, and very much so for the earnest irony.

Bernie Sanders: ‘Oligarchs run Russia. But guess what? They run the US as well’
So grateful for the amazing work #PresidentCarter has done
We're super happy to have contributed the special issue of #Entropy on The Principle of Dynamical #Criticality in #biologicalsystems.
"Effective Connectivity and Bias Entropy Improve Prediction of Dynamical Regime in #Automata Networks"
#redundancy and canalization play major role in predicting #Dynamics, even after accounting for #heterogeneous #complexnetworks structure, in experimentally-validated biochemical regulation models and random networks. Emphasizing role of redundancy in #evolutionary.systems. #complexsystems
So much cool stuff coming from #mRNA #vaccine tech. Check out @cyrilpedia update

I've since left twitter in response to Elon Musk's repeated attacks on public health and his repeated endorsement of medical disinformation. My account is locked and people can no longer see the original thread unless they followed me before I left.
In light of the Times story, I think it's important for people to see the original thread in full. I've therefore made a pdf available here:

Feel free to cross-post that link to twitter if you still indulge.
#FawltyTowers, which I like and John Cleese wants to bring back, reminds me that in Anglo-US-North-EU Academics, I had to first enter as the Manuel character, not the Cleese or his wife characters. #Diversity is complicated. Be kind to non-native speakers.

Very cool approach to the #control of #BooleanNetworks and biochemical regulation models, using #nonlinear #dynamics and #canalization, by Kwang-Hyun Cho's team at KAIST

Colegas #Universidade PT. Não é normal noutros países a média de uma cadeira fundamental no currículo ser 6 ou 7/20 (c/ 11/20 para 10º melhor). Mais, não é admissível que professor responsável continue. Isto depois de alunos serem selecionados com numerus clausus altíssimos. #portugal #Universidade #Academia #Educação #VergonhaNaCara

The media spectacle of #GenerativeAI (in which AI companies' breathless claims of their software's sorcerous powers are endlessly repeated) has understandably alarmed many #CreativeWorkers, a group that's already traumatized by extractive abuse by media and tech companies.
If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

#RIP #BurtBacharach. So much respect! No one better in laying down tenderness to #music. So many to choose, but here is my favorite.

I am pasting in a post here from Jay Varma, who used to be with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. I agree with every word he writes.
"I was shocked today to learn that New York City will end its requirement that City employees be vaccinated against #COVID19. The City's own data, paid for by its dollars and analyzed by its staff, are abundantly clear: Vaccinating adults averts infections, hospitalizations, and deaths (https://lnkd.in/eiKt7K95). " 1/

Fantastic use of LLMs to generate networks from unstructured text! https://twitter.com/varunshenoy_/status/1620511932930490372?s=46&t=MrEULnGIdUCnAOFlj0SmRw
