If any book can make general audiences grok the silicon age & finally recognize how it rivals the atomic age for drama & import, Chip War is it."   Great @nytimes review of @crmiller1's @SloanPublic book "Chip War," about the history/impact of microchips

We're viewing "The Bit Player," a documentary about the father of information theory, Claude Shannon. I'm smitten by the cryptographic elements and his playfulness. He revolutionized the world. His should be a household name, like that of Einstein or Newton. @BitPlayerMovie

Terrific article from a couple of years ago on "The Man Who Conquered Noise" bit.ly/3hD4wma

@3blue1brown Brilliant example of using Shannon's ideas on information entropy to solve a "real world" problem!!

New video! ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 It's an exploration for writing a Wordle solver, with the challenge of not using the official list of Wordle answers (except as a test set), which is really just an excuse for an information theory lesson. youtu.be/v68zYyaEmEA

Just watched the @BitPlayerMovie about the unsung hero #ClaudeShannon. How is he not celebrated with the likes of #Newton, #Einstein, #Galileo, #Tesla?

I spent five years exploring the origins of PayPal and the lives of its earliest employees—a group that's left a wide imprint on technology, culture, and entrepreneurship. The end result—THE FOUNDERS—debuts on 2/22/22, and I hope you’ll read and enjoy it. amzn.to/3GT3Svw

@jposhaughnessy @BitPlayerMovie I didn't write this, but I thought it was well put:

We announced this week our development of the Eagle 127-qubit #quantum processor. IBM passed the 100-qubit threshold, marking a new milestone in our quest for 1,000 qubits. I’m proud to have been a part of this groundbreaking moment for #quantumcomputing. youtu.be/kR0y5Ps-7Kw

@ProfessorGoyal @QuantaMagazine @yiannis_entropy Shannon himself acknowledged the origin of the word. Watch @BitPlayerMovie for more about this self-effacing genius.

@QuantaMagazine @yiannis_entropy It’s generally acknowledged that John Tukey coined “bit,” not Claude Shannon. I realize that’s not technically contradictory to the tweet.

Claude Shannon’s masterpiece, a 1948 paper titled “A Mathematical Theory of Communication,” was the first to use the word “bit” — a portmanteau of “binary digit,” either a 1 or a 0 — in reference to information. quantamagazine.org/how-claude-sha…
