If any book can make general audiences grok the silicon age & finally recognize how it rivals the atomic age for drama & import, Chip War is it."
Great @nytimes review of @crmiller1's @SloanPublic book "Chip War," about the history/impact of microchips

We're viewing "The Bit Player," a documentary about the father of information theory, Claude Shannon.
I'm smitten by the cryptographic elements and his playfulness. He revolutionized the world. His should be a household name, like that of Einstein or Newton.

It's an exploration for writing a Wordle solver, with the challenge of not using the official list of Wordle answers (except as a test set), which is really just an excuse for an information theory lesson.

Just watched the @BitPlayerMovie about the unsung hero #ClaudeShannon. How is he not celebrated with the likes of #Newton, #Einstein, #Galileo, #Tesla?

I spent five years exploring the origins of PayPal and the lives of its earliest employees—a group that's left a wide imprint on technology, culture, and entrepreneurship.
The end result—THE FOUNDERS—debuts on 2/22/22, and I hope you’ll read and enjoy it. amzn.to/3GT3Svw

We announced this week our development of the Eagle 127-qubit #quantum processor. IBM passed the 100-qubit threshold, marking a new milestone in our quest for 1,000 qubits. I’m proud to have been a part of this groundbreaking moment for #quantumcomputing.

Claude Shannon’s masterpiece, a 1948 paper titled “A Mathematical Theory of Communication,” was the first to use the word “bit” — a portmanteau of “binary digit,” either a 1 or a 0 — in reference to information. quantamagazine.org/how-claud…

Claude Shannon was one of the most important and underappreciated pioneers of the information age. @SloanPublic pleased to support both @BitPlayerMovie and @thecoolidge along with Mark Levinson's other wonderful film, @ParticleFever
#NowPlaying online: @BitPlayerMovie, part of @scienceonscreen!
Using interviews, archival film & inventive #animation, filmmaker Mark Levinson tells the story of Claude Shannon, the scientist who laid the foundation for the information age.

1/ NYC this AM. Few know this address.
On the street:
Unplanned symbolic ENTROPY.
The building: 51 W11th St
where Claude Shannon came up with his ideas for information theory that would shape ALL technology and with tJohn Von Neumann be dubbed “information entropy”...

I enjoyed watching this @BitPlayerMovie about Shannon’s work last week at the @NatMathFestival for an @mathmoves panel I was on with Ron Rivest and the filmmaker. Math can be both playful and useful! @MoMath1

We had #mathisfun talking about/reviewing intractable problems like #TSP in @AoPSNews prealgebra. We had fun w/charts & I showed the classic 1869 Minard chart. I showed some #2021NMF @NatMathFestival higlights incl trailers fr @BitPlayerMovie & @SecretsMathFilm #mtbos #iteachmath

Another @PhysicsMagazine pick for #APSMarch is our Movie Night, where we will be screening @BitPlayerMovie. The film is about information theory's Claude Shannon. Director Mark Levinson (also created @ParticleFever) will be on hand to answer questions. meetings.aps.org/Meeting/MAR…
10 days to #APSMarch. Here's a definite session for your list 😜 Join @PhysicsMagazine's @rini_matteo, @QuantaMagazine's @nattyover, @seanmcarroll, Marissa Giustina @GoogleAI, & Karl Ziemelis @nature as they chat about effective cross-field communication. meetings.aps.org/Meeting/MAR…
