If you are interested, please see also this thread on the importance of visualizing data (the Anscombe's quartet, Simpson's paradox are also included in @LabPlot):
Great example of how scholarship works: this & other #medieval massacres were horrific & left lasting trauma, but #historians now see a far more limited impact and great resilience

Does a chaotic system always behave chaotically?
Not really, as many chaotic systems have a subset of possible initial conditions that lead to a quasi-periodic motion.
As an example, below are two sets (black and orange) of 20 double pendula each, all with the same initial energy, and each group starting with very similar initial conditions.
The first group (black) spread out a little bit with time, but nearby initial conditions keeps evolving into nearby dynamics, which is typical of integrable systems.
On the other hand the pendula in the second group (orange) also starts with similar initial condition, but after a short transient evolve each very differently from each other, which is a mark of a chaotic system. #Physics#Visualization#Chaos
Elon is planning to effectively kill social cards on #Twitter. Social cards were a big part of my dissertation work. I published a few papers about generating them via #ComputerVision, #NLP, and #MachineLearning because they make for nice bits of document #Summarization and #Storytelling. Now Musk wants them gone to force journalists to write articles directly on Twitter.
In 2020, we developed a special tool, MementoEmbed, for generating/extracting metadata from archived web pages. We presented this tool at the Web Archiving and Digital Libraries Workshop (WADL2020).
The world is beautiful, science is beautiful, data is beautiful. Knowing that this monster is heading straight for me somehow makes it even more beautiful.

✍️ New: The big list of academic #writing resources
A list of books, blogs and tools to hone your scientific writing. I've tried to cover the basics of academic writing, deeper dives on style and even data #visualization.
Why are there no #3d#visualization tools (for #python) that work like a #gamedev engine? I want to do more than rotate and zoom. I want to translate my rotation point. I want to walk around inside my #data. Let me explore parameter space directly.
If it doesn't already exist, maybe I'll have to make my own #fps style plotting tool.
Markwhen is a text-to-timeline tool where you can write markdown-ish text and it gets converted into a nice looking cascading timeline or other type of visualization. Documentation and what all you can do with it is at https://docs.markwhen.com, and the main site is of course https://markwhen.com. It's pretty cool
I’ve worked on a small tool to animate and record variable fonts. The Variable Font Animator – A drawing interface makes animating and testing variable fonts easy and fun. You can even record videos directly in your browser. There is no need to take a screen capture anymore. That way you can specify the final video format on the fly.
If you wanted to communicate how a proposed intersection or roadway redesign would look and feel to the public, what would you use?
I'm looking specifically for examples of tools that are fairly easy to use by non-experts and can create realistic renderings suitable for #public engagement.
Researchers developed a new method called wildDISCO that uses standard antibodies to map the entire body of an animal using fluorescent markers. This revolutionary technique provides detailed 3D maps of structures, shedding new light on complex biological systems and diseases.

Can shadows move faster than light?
Not really. There is nothing moving sideways, so nothing is moving faster than light (which, incidentally, mean you can't use shadows to communicate faster than light).
But the edges of the projection of the shadow can indeed appear to move arbitrarily fast. #ITeachPhysics#Visualization#Physics#Optics

OC Experimenting with using shapes inspired by automotive design as a basis for jewelry pieces. This one’s a pendant.
OC I really like using organic shapes in jewelry. I feel like we don't really see enough weirdness in modern designs
