Scientific and societal impact of research comes rarely from where we expect. Open source software is one such example: today, Scikit-Learn just passed 10000 citations! Congratulations to all contributors for all the progress they triggered! pic.twitter.com/dkhzbVKI6L

Really interesting post on open source development regarding great contributions from volunteers vs sustained, focussed attention, "many problems where forty people each putting in one hour a week are helpless, but that can easily be solved by one person working forty hours.

Things to keep in mind when reading research papers:
— Thomas Wolf (@Thom_Wolf) May 25, 2018
-papers are biased towards using complex models
-papers from well-funded labs are biased towards using the biggest datasets on the biggest machines
-papers from high-profile orgs don't have inherently better ideas (but more PR)
Facebook launched a database of political ads. It's incomplete. For example, it didn’t catch, uh, this one from @Mccallforall:

Facebook is on a streak of 67 acquisitions unchallenged by antitrust authorities, which sounds impressive until you compare with Amazon at 91, and Google at 214.
