🧵Next week, you will see people using something called Benford's Law to try to prove election fraud.
⛔️These people are wrong⛔️
I am a scientist who has published on Benford's Law. Let me tell you what it is and why what they are doing is mathematically incorrect. 1/

“We will call it Raleigh-Durham International Airport.”
Named for the city of Raleigh-Durham, sir?
“It’s actually two different cities.”
And which one will the airport be in?
“Morrisville.”

3 years ago, my dream job was cancelled.
Emily's Wonder Lab helped inspire the next generation of scientists. I pitched dozens of science experiments for more seasons, but they weren't interested.
What do you do when your dream is cancelled?
You pivot.
I turned the experiments into a book series.
They became a #1 NYTimes Best Seller.
I used all the money I made from the books to hire a production company to help me turn each of the 100 science experiments into a YouTube series.
Introducing: Emily's Science Lab. It launches tomorrow.
Here's to controlling our own destiny ;)

As we continue our unprecedented response to Hurricane Helene, the nation is beginning to understand that impacted areas have been the target of a relentless vortex of disinformation, dialed up by bad actors and platforms like X. 🧵

Do you work on variational quantum algorithms or quantum machine learning?
If so, please check our latest article:
arxiv.org/abs/2312.09121
Here, we ask: Are barren plateau-free models classically simulable? Should we rethink variational QC as a whole?

I'm also sharing the full text of the cease-and-desist letter here because I think people should see exactly what Dias sent to his graduate students to keep them silent.
