WashU accepted her into residency because of her name -- they thought it was a male's application. In spite of their bigotry, she became an outstanding surgeon. And to honor her on what would have been her 100th birthday... they spell her name wrong.
I’m beginning to think that giving a lifetime appointment to a rapid partisan with an ideological agenda, was a bad idea.

Also, I neglected to include @Chaimgoodmanstrauss in my original post. Sorry!
After a couple of months of work, we cracked it: If you only allow yourself to tile by translations and rotations, then Tile(1,1) admits only non-periodic tilings! We call this a "weakly chiral aperiodic monotile" -- it's aperiodic in a reflection-free universe, but tiles periodically if you're allowed to use reflections.
The tiling is reminiscent of, but not identical to, hat tilings -- it contains a sparse population of "odd" tiles, which are rotated by odd multiples of 30 degrees relative to all other tiles. (5/n)

@emilymbender is the most brilliant and generous teacher we have on what LLMs can, should, cannot, and should not be expected to do. I am so grateful that she uses social media to teach. Do read her Thai library thought experiment explaining language and understanding.

DeSantis' crashing #Twitter Spaces presidential campaign announcement with Musk is the perfect metaphor for the GOP and Musk. (Yes, I know there's a Tesla joke there too.)
