my favorite part of this thread is how fucking annoying i am about to become re: QED to all the professional mathematicians i know
Dyson was one of the first physicists to really understand the meaning and power of Feynman's diagrammatic approach to QED. He published an important paper in 1949 showing that this method was equivalent to the operator approach of Schwinger & Tomonaga. (4/n)

Physicist Freeman Dyson was born #OTD in 1923. He was known for his work in quantum electrodynamics and –– among many, many other things –– his eschatological musings about physics and the prospects for life in the far-flung future. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭 🎢

Really it was a rush job, so IBM could win the competition. With only a few more weeks they could have fixed it
But now it’s on every package everywhere in the world…

There were actually some fairly serious mistakes in the barcode standard
The size was calculated to be the minimum necessary for a previous barcode called Delta C with the tech at that time
But the final version is so different that the math was incorrect! The barcode should have been much larger

there were seven finalists that made it to the standards committee
3 of the 7 were round, so the scanner could scan from any angle
but IBM proposed the boring square barcode and they were so huge that they won the selection process

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

so
at some point, maybe hopefully in the not too distant future we can weed through the minefield that's called "early 1990s privatisations in the former Eastern Bloc"
but
at the same time it's also true that no external power looted russia in the 1990s.
