Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Nice STEP prep on inequalities involving algebraic symmetry. It also develops the understanding of under which conditions your proof is valid.

Prove that, if c >= a and d >= b, then ab + cd >= bc + ad. If x >= y, use the previous result to show that x^2 + y^2 >= 2xy. If further, x >= z and y>= z, use the first result to show that z^2 + xy >= xz + yz and deduce that x^2 + y^2 + z^2 >= xy + yz + zx. Prove that this result holds for all x, y and z.

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.
