Quotes that have evolved over time to add a twist

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.
The original first half is by Charles Caleb Colton, Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words: Addressed to Those who Think (1820).
The second half was made up by Twitter and then falsely attributed the entire quote to Oscar Wilde, it's still a great addition, I think.
Jack of all…

So there‘s a “2004 Remastered” version of “Dreams“ by Fleetwood Mac, but they only polished the digital audio and didn’t update the annoyingly scientifically inaccurate line in the chorus that (falsely!) claims “Thunder only happens when it’s raining”. 😡

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Last week, I mentioned a ciliate that can cause red tide #blooms. Mesodinium rubrum is an example of a unicellular organism that can both injest food and photosynthesize. Its main prey are cryptomonad

I’m quite surprised neither thought to feed the poor thing. https://mementomori.social/@juergen_hubert/115073022710824865

FBI drops probe of Kraken founder, returns dozens of seized devices
The FBI raided Jesse Powell's home after an arts non-profit falsely accused him of hacking.

50 Jahre Videorekorder: Sonys Betamax als erfolgreicher Fehlschlag
1975 brachte Sony die ersten Videorekorder für daheim auf den Markt. Es folgte der große Formatkrieg mit VHS, den Sony nur zum Teil verlor.

Lines in the space of Kähler metrics
We establish a Ross-Witt Nyström correspondence for weak geodesic lines in the (completed) space of Kähler metrics. We construct a wide range of weak geodesic lines on arbitrary projective Kähler manifolds that are not generated by holomorphic vector fields, thus disproving a folklore conjecture popularized by Berndtsson. Remarkably, some of these weak geodesic lines turn out to be smooth. In the case of Riemann surfaces, our results can be significantly sharpened. Finally, we investigate th…

From toroids to helical tubules: Kirigami-inspired programmable assembly of two-periodic curved crystals
Biology is full of intricate molecular structures whose geometries are inextricably linked to their function. Many of these structures exhibit varying curvature, such as the helical structure of the bacterial flagellum, which is critical for their motility. Because synthetic analogues of these shapes could be valuable platforms for nanotechnologies, including drug delivery and plasmonics, controllable synthesis of variable-curvature structures of various material systems, from fullerenes to sup…

A New Kind of AI Model Lets Data Owners Take Control
A novel approach from the Allen Institute for AI enables data to be removed from an artificial intelligence model even after it has already been used for training.
