Starting the vacation in style with some quality scientific literature 🧐 #programminghumor #sigbovik

#Tom7 aka #suckerpinch has a new video up for #SIGBOVIK , about, uh, "What if deep learning but worse?" It's genius Computer Science shitposting. "GradIEEEnt half decent: The hidden power of imprecise lines" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae9EKCyI1xU

"For all practical purposes, it doesn't matter"
"Well, what about *impractical* purposes?"

"Theoretically I am right, but for practical purposes it probably does not matter. But I like to work at the intersection of Theory and Impractice." https://lobste.rs/s/18sfg2/sigbovik_0x2023

GUYS I MADE IT #sigbovik !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is probably the most exposure my work will ever receive

Someone left a note on my #sigbovik hardware security switch board with a much better switches = O(log(codes)) design. (No GFCI!)
Thank you, mysterious genius!

Got my #sigbovik paper in.

Not a low-effort year, exactly, but probably a misplaced-effort year. (Paper was authored entirely in Inkscape.)

Time to start my last-minute #sigbovik paper(s).

#sigbovik call for papers is open!! https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/sigbovik-announce/2023/000138.html

The video is much more entertaining and geeky than the title, from frequent #SIGBOVIK contributor #Tom7 aka #suckerpinch - "How I ran the length of every street in Pittsburgh: PAC TOM" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c8i5SABqwU #pittsburgh

if you like my haha funnies (tm) and like math check out my 2022 #sigbovik paper "On Ruinment: Ruination Theory and its Consequents" (on page 85 of https://sigbovik.org/2022/proceedings.pdf) about the consequences of applying abstract algebra and basic category theory to generalize Adam Ruins Everything

It’s tom7 project video release day with #sigbovik! 🎉
