Vintage-Style Map of the Mandelbrot Set via Kottke

[Shared]Bill Tavis designed this lovely vintage-style map of the familiar fractal shape, the Mandelbrot set. He is selling a poster version of the map, starting at the very reasonable price of $24. I don’t usually highlight the price on this sort of thing, but an unauthorized seller on Amazon was selling poor-quality counterfeits of the map and even though it wasn’t his fault, Tavis offered to replace any of the crappy maps for free. Great map, and apparently a great human who made it.

This is incredible. The White House sent out the Deputy Press Secretary Kush Desai to protest that the equation for tariffs on a country was definitely *not* just calculated as just (trade_deficit / imports) but instead calculated as [insert greek letter arithmetic that looks complicated].

What #KushDesai did not realize is that the values chosen for the greek letters in the equation he cited in the paper he cited it from make the formula reduce to…

trade_deficit / imports

"It's essentially #CriticalTradeTheory. Any trade imbalance between two countries is de facto evidence of systemic unfair trade practices."

#WhiteHouse: In just over one month, illegal #border crossings have plummeted by numbers that nobody has actually ever seen before. It’s much more than 100 percent. 😱

Just learned this #mathstodon #math

2024 = 2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³

And for next year we'll have the entire sum of cubes from 1 to 9!

2025 = 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³
