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.

Non-linear estimators for the observation and stabilisation of falling liquid films
Falling liquid films are complex physical processes modelled by infinite-dimensional dynamical systems. The interfacial behaviour is characterised by the Reynolds number, a nondimensional parameter, and above a critical value the uniform film becomes unstable and travelling waves occur. By injecting and removing fluid from the base at discrete locations, we aim to stabilise otherwise unstable flat interfaces, with the additional limitation that observations of the state are restricted to finite…

The tech lead next to me has been on the phone the past 3 (work) days fielding calls from the service team installing a prototype system.
Every single problem they've encountered so far is one I - a year ago - suggested a quality-of-life/design-for-serviceability/ux improvement to mitigate, minimize or deal with should it occur.
Our product managers know our customer's industry inside and out but not one has commercial software experience. I have 30 yrs of it.

Weighted Parameter Estimators of the Generalized Extreme Value Distribution in the Presence of Missing Observations
Missing data occur in a variety of applications of extreme value analysis. In the block maxima approach to an extreme value analysis, missingness is often handled by either ignoring missing observations or dropping a block of observations from the analysis. However, in some cases, missingness may occur due to equipment failure during an extreme event, which can lead to bias in estimation. In this work, we propose weighted maximum likelihood and weighted moment-based estimators for the generaliz…

Challenges and Practices in Quantum Software Testing and Debugging: Insights from Practitioners
Quantum software engineering is an emerging discipline with distinct challenges, particularly in testing and debugging. As quantum computing transitions from theory to implementation, developers face issues not present in classical software development, such as probabilistic execution, limited observability, shallow abstractions, and low awareness of quantum-specific tools. To better understand current practices, we surveyed 26 quantum software developers from academia and industry and conducte…

New theory proposes time has three dimensions, with space as a secondary effect
Time, not space plus time, might be the single fundamental property in which all physical phenomena occur, according to a new theory by a University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist.
