I self-published a book titled BECOMING AN AUTISTIC SCHOLAR about my journey as a PhD student 🧪

The book is freely available in PDF format! Download it here: datagramas.cl/narrativa/be...

Feel free to comment in Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

Made with LaTeX, Python and pandoc 🐦
Cover of BECOMING AN AUTISTIC SCHOLAR. How does the experience of pursuing a doctorate abroad intertwine with the discovery of one’s own neurodivergence? Through a series of interconnected stories, this book narrates the journey of a Chilean student and his wife to Barcelona, where he pursues a doctorate in Computer Science while she seeks her own path. Like in the Japanese role-playing video games that the protagonist loves so much, the adventure begins in an unknown city, without possessions and with the challenge of learning the rules of a new world. Between algorithms and code, between tango and Street Fighter, between academic life and personal loss, the narrative explores universal themes such as identity, love, friendship, and grief. A decade after these events, the author receives a diagnosis that gives new meaning to his entire experience: he is autistic. This revelation transforms the book into something more than academic memoirs - it is the testimony of how neurodivergence shapes our way of perceiving the world and relating to others. Written with the precision of a scientist and the sensitivity of an attentive observer, this book is an invitation to reflect on how our cognitive differences enrich the human experience.

Ballet [1/4]
A cartoon crow looks up at a poster for a ballet studio that includes art of 6 ballerinas dancing and a guide of the first 5 ballet feet positions. The crow marvels that humans can glide on the ground as birds do in the sky. The crow decides to try dancing too, following the illustrated poses on the poster. The crow crosses their legs and bounces.

Now this is how you detect whether an election was stolen. Humans choose rounder numbers.

by @TheEconomist
A scatter plot titled "Fair and square? Russian federal elections, 2000-21" which visualizes the results of Russian federal elections. The x-axis represents voter turnout in percentage, ranging from 0 to 100%. The y-axis represents the percentage of votes for Putin, Medvedev, or the United Russia party, also ranging from 0 to 100%. Each dot on the plot represents a polling station. A cluster of dots appears in the upper right corner, indicating high voter turnout and a high percentage of votes for the specified candidates. A dashed rectangle highlights a grid-like pattern of dots at numbers ending in zero and five, with an annotation suggesting this pattern indicates potential foul play. The source is cited as Kobak and Shpilkin (2021).

Computationally, whitespace gets little attention—it’s usually standardized or stripped.

But in poetry, whitespace matters!

Yet actually *preserving* that poetic whitespace is v tough. Its slipperiness points to bigger issues w/ text processing & LLMs.

How fair are the algorithms that decide who gets information online? Our new paper in PNAS Nexus shows that maximization algorithms, the ones used to pick “influencers” in social networks, unintentionally deepen inequality.
