let's talk about #investment.
#capitalism and capitalists' fortunes are built on this practice. all the free-flowing #business and #finance propaganda, churned out in huge volumes for the edification of persons who've devoted themselves to #money, talks about _investing_.

the great bulk of money made in #capitalism goes only to the ownership class; the toilers below them get pennies. those unable to toil get *less* than nothing—capitalism wants such people to be liquidated, hence @charlesmurray and @EPoe187 cook up rationales for doing so.

ultimately this is *why* #eugenics and "scientific racism" exists at all: #capitalism needs some pseudointellectual justification for marginalizing and liquidating all human beings who are unable or *unwilling* to toil for capitalism. this is WHY @Quillette is well-funded.

The CSRB conducted an exhaustive review of the events surrounding the December 2021 disclosure of a vulnerability in #Log4j, which led to one of the most intensive cybersecurity responses in history. Highlights from the report 🧵 1/
#Log4j is one of the most serious software vulnerabilities ever. It’s an endemic vulnerability and unpatched versions will remain in systems for years to come, perhaps a decade or longer. The #Log4j event is not over. Risk remains and network defenders must stay vigilant. 2/
Many companies could not quickly identify where in their environments they had vulnerable code, revealing opportunities to increase software transparency and capacity to respond quickly to newly-discovered vulnerabilities. 3/

Happy first day of #BlackHistoryMonth! To celebrate, we'll periodically take time to honor the brilliant Black minds that have contributed to our field over the years. A thread:
First up in our series: @6Gems, who founded @BlackGirlsCode after noticing the severe underrepresentation of minorities in the startup world. Bryant's nonprofit has enabled many young black girls to create meaningful work & go on to become leaders in their communities. #BHM2022
@6Gems @BlackGirlsCode Katherine Johnson was a human computer whose calculations were essential to @NASA's Project Mercury, Apollo 11, and more. When the space program switched to digital computers, Johnson helped confirm the accuracy of their calculations.

❓ Do you know what comparison-based sorting algorithms are?
Did you know that sorting algorithms that are *not* comparison-based can run faster?

Comparison-based algorithms:
🔹 Repeatedly ask "is this element smaller/bigger than this other element?". A function that acts as a black box answers these questions.
🔹 Are general-purpose. No assumptions are made about the input data.
Examples: Quicksort and Mergesort. 2/3

Non-comparison-based algorithms:
🔹 Make strong assumptions about the input data (for example, all elements are small integers).
🔹 Can elude the O(n log n) lower bound of comparison-based algorithms and run in O(n) time.
Examples: Counting sort and Radix sort. 3/3

I am really thrilled to release #AutoSpill onto @biorxivpreprint. It is a novel method for applying compensation to #flowcytometry data, which reduces the error by ~100,000-fold. It is thanks to AutoSpill that we can push machines to their max colours

#AutoSpill is a beautiful example of what #maths can add to #immunology, led by the talented Dr Carlos Roca.
It has really open up my eyes to the potential of #computationalbiology, and is the reason why we have a new #datascience position available:
babrahaminstitute.livevacancies.co.uk/#/job/details/…

So how does #AutoSpill work? If you just want to compensate your data, simply upload your single colour controls to autospill.vib.be and then copy the spillover matrix to your #flowcytometry program of choice
