Hey, firstly, amazing site. Secondly, I've been trying to use this site to find people I'd like to follow. It would be amazing to be able to drag a selection through an area to see the names and descriptions within the selection to find people to follow! Just a suggestion :)

Can all operators be vectorised, or is there only a certain class which can be?

In 1874, Georg Cantor published one of the most important papers in math’s 4,000-year history. The ideas in it were stolen. 🧡

I think Twitter probably had better algorithms. Here, if your posts don't get engaged within ~1 day then it goes to the nether, whereas on Twitter it seemed to go around a bit more. The feed being more chronological probably has to do with it.

I think this isn't your paper! (though it's easy enough to see in the picture)

If one is mainly interested in gender proportions, wouldn't it be better to just do one with 0 to 1 on the y axis? Presented this way it's not super clear to me what's happening with the proportions

Thought I proved something last week. Got shown a fatal flaw by my collaborator on Monday, got very disappointed and came up with another proof on Tuesday and sent it off to just to realise myself it was also wrong. Now I think I have a legit proof but what a rollercoaster it's been πŸ˜… (and no sleep)

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

A question: In your recent posts, you showed that there is (good ?) progress in rep code. Why is rep code a good metric for progress? It can't protect against phase-flip errors, right? Wouldn't it make sense to track codes that can protect against arbitrary noise. Is it just that there's no data?

not sure if it stems from the love of reading but i (have to) do this

Apart from transitions from/to a Gaussian fixed point, are there any other examples where field theory is actually useful?

Is there an existing *random* construction of 'good' quantum LDPC codes similar to the classical case? The only ones I've seen around are highly structured i.e Cayley graphs

It's always a sigmoid
