But who would dream of eating such an objet d'art?

Just the other day I was marveling out loud about the sweetness and rationality of mathematical Twitter. No hate and snark in *this* corner of the Twitterverse. I should have known the experience might be different without my white face.

Feeling a bit bummed out by all the racism I have to deal with on this site. It feels so excessive given I mostly tweet about math and statistics not politics. So many people on here can’t see past my skin color. They make up wild statements about me and question my humanity. https://t.co/7VxzWv479P

Words for the Wordle-Weary. New on bit-player. https://t.co/RQhrPDwvhm https://t.co/Xr9Wmv4EgD

Wordle has moved to the NY Times domain. They've done a little list-scrubbing. Six words are no longer wordle-of-the-day candidates: agora, fibre, lynch, pupal, slave, wench. And 19 words have been nixed as legal guesses.

Every word has the same frequency/probability: 1/2315.

Wordle 228 4/6 ⬛⬛🟩⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛🟨🟨 ⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Do we know the distribution of Wordle words? Suppose you've narrowed it down to two possible words and you have to guess. Is the most common one more likely, or do they have the same chance of being right?

Something very like it, from an era when my only graphic device was a dot-matrix printer. (See also https://t.co/r93pqnO0S3.) https://t.co/0e9Umqck5P

My son proposed that we plot the set of points (x,y) such that the ones digit of x+y equals the tens digit of x*y. The following beautiful pictures emerged. (The second picture's pixels are colored by the absolute value of the difference.) Have you seen it before? https://t.co/GC1lixdUY4

Weeks after opening registration, #JMM2022 has finally acknowledged that Covid is a thing, announcing safety protocols including mask mandates and socially distanced seating. Note the photos in the email header. (JMM is my favorite meeting, but cmon, you can do better than this.) https://t.co/YaN3mGgho1

And do you know about Honk Fest? (https://t.co/iWoS2rYUeB). Happening this weekend. Wish I could be there.

Somerville, MA is my favorite municipality. They have an ACLU backed facial recognition ban and marshmallow FLUFF!

Well, from one of several early papers. Another from 1957 (https://t.co/8xfCBHNeN6) suggests that the Monte Carlo algorithm *did* exist in the compiler, using the probabilities provided by the programmer in FREQUENCY statements. https://t.co/RlW1xVLJR5

I believe the Wikipedia page is incorrect. The 1956 Fortran reference manual says that the FREQUENCY statement allows the programmer to estimate the likelihood of branches, not that the compiler will calculate it from a simulation. https://t.co/OmwvY8gKmJ

But why didn't they wait until 1991 to release it?
