So! I wanna do a deep-dive explainer series, with pictures & simulations, about... something. But what? Well that's where you come in! If you've got a spare 7 min, help my indecisive fuzzbrain figure out what to write about. Thanks!

Here's my submission for her "make this intuitive" homework: The Bayesian Waterfall Visualization: * each column is a probability (in odds form) * each row "filters out" water (likelihoods) * show as many priors *and* updates as you want!

My friend
@Looking_glass_u had a, uh, medical adventure recently – she's fine now – but she made this video that's: 1) a great intro to Bayesian Causal Networks, and 2) a PSA about endometriosis, holy crap plz get checked if you have painful periodshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzA9VATcZhY …Show this threadThanks.

Making "Nutshells" is just the same interface as making a blog post! Headers for new section, links to embed that section (from the same page, or even other pages). Try the demo, with live Markdown preview: https://ncase.me/nutshell-wip/try/ …pic.twitter.com/dAZKRsR2pW

Nutshell, or, “Expandable Explanations”! A free tool I'm making so you can let your readers choose how in-depth they want to go. Play with the demo here: https://ncase.me/nutshell-wip/ (Inspired by Telescopic Text & Wikiwand's Link Preview)pic.twitter.com/76di1dxIIy

Against my better judgment, I have started a lewd queer/furry Patreon! I'll be making a musical animation named “The Femboy Hooters Jingle”. GIF below, & if you sub to the Patreon, you'll also find a raunchier exclusive GIF:

Still a little over 3 weeks on the Summer of Math Exposition. Since announcing,
@brilliantorg generously reached out to offer $5k in cash prizes. If you've ever thought about doing a math explainer online, take this as a chance to give it a go!http://3b1b.co/some1Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Weird: I know of 3 different great explanations of Bayes' Theorem, but *none* of elementary algebra. Do you know of an algebra explainer series that's: 1) free/online 2) visual/intuitive 3) gives actual motivation, not just "memorize all this coz it's on the test" ? Thanks!

Ok y'all caught me! I didn't know it's *unproven* that π is normal (i.e. contains all finite strings). Thx

1) Assume a brain can be simulated on a classical computer 2) Thus, consciousness can be represented as a finite string of 0/1s 3) π, converted to binary, contains *every* finite string of 0/1s Therefore: π is conscious. Happy Pi Day!
