What Makes a Controversial Wikipedia Article?
Quantifying and analyzing controversiality on Wikipedia articles.Photo by Oberon Copeland @veryinformed.com on UnsplashRecently I have been messing around with the Wikidata API (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:REST_API) which gives access to essentially all information from Wikipedia articles. After poking around with sentiment analysis and analyzing general trends I stumbled across a 2012 paper by Sumi

How often do you generative AI to write your code? What about writing your tests? You might be doing it backwards.Unit tests are the worst. Don’t get me wrong, they are an invaluable part of any CI pipeline or automation. But man are they a pain to write.Most developers I know,
Read moreTanh and elementary symmetric polynomials
Yesterday I wrote a post that looked at the hyperbolic tangent sum for x and y strictly between −1 and 1. This sum arises when adding velocities in special relativity. The post ended with a description of the expression for in terms of elementary symmetric polynomials but did not offer
Read moreAddition theorems
Earlier this week I wrote about several ways to generalize trig functions. Since trig functions have addition theorems like a natural question is whether generalized trig functions also have addition theorems. Hyperbolic functions have well-known addition theorems analogous to the addition theorems above. This isn’t too surprising since circular and

Ben and Ryan talk about the work that earned the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics and how it might make computers way faster. Plus: California’s efforts to transform how math is taught, Unity’s new fee structure, and the trial of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried.

In the previous post I said I was trying remember where I’d seen the tangent sum applied. I mentioned a couple near misses, and it turns out that what I was trying to remember was another near miss. What I’d seen before was not the tangent sum but the hyperbolic
