BC ALL
Saved by @paro_monty

If you're looking in the right places, the internet is a treasure trove.

The best internet gems you've never heard of:

 I'll share 20+ tools, so I'll start by breaking them into 4 categories.

Tools that:
• Give perspective
• You can play with
• Center around data
• Can help creators

The common theme across all is that no one "needed" to make them, but we're all better off bc someone did.
1. Let's start with tools that give perspective!

These often solicit both of these reactions:
• Who the hell made this?!
• I love that person

For example, this site which puts into perspective just how much a billion dollars is.

Hint: It's a lot.

2. Here's another fun one: emojis to scale

Get a sense of how the emojis that you use every day, compare in size IRL...

From the 3mm mosquito 🦟 to the 9500000000000km Milky Way 🌌

https://t.co/F8R5MA2naF
3. Speaking of mosquitos, did you know that they're the most deadly animal in the world?

I bet you also didn't know that eating 1k 🍌 is more dangerous than a 🦘 encounter.

Thankfully, this graphic maps out our likelihood of death.

The more you know...

https://t.co/HhhbbNR85I
4. Death is depressing. So are pessimists.

@PessimistsArc has put together a wonderful gallery of the headlines from the past, regarding technology that people feared.

What did they fear? Nearly everything.

Even teddy bears. 🐻

https://t.co/DcZA3owyAo
5. Can you measure pessimism through time?

The @hedonometer tracks the happiness of Twitter, through sentiment analysis.

When were we happiest?

Apparently, 2015.

https://t.co/6sEYoatEM3
6. Speaking of happiness, there's one thing that has a 99% correlation with mine.

It's food.

The https://t.co/A1tiZSkw4y is a wonderful tool that documents when foods were discovered, from the 🐸 to the test tube 🍔.
https://t.co/Wp2UgZjNqs
7. If you've ever wondered WTH constitutes as a sandwich, The Cube Rule has you covered.

The jury has spoken:

• A quesadilla is a sandwich
• A slice of pie is a taco
• Cheesecake is a quiche
• A dumpling is a calzone
• Mashed potatoes are a salad

https://t.co/guZez4Tiqe
8. For another site that gives perspective, I'll share something that I built!

A site of 500+ untranslatable words.

A couple favourites:
Abendrot 🇩🇪: The colour of the sky during sunset
Petrichor 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿: The smell of earth after rain

https://t.co/EVStUNi6Db
9. Finally, one more site that gives perspective... from above. 🛸

The yearly drone awards, honoring categories including from urban, wildlife, sport, people, nature, and more.

Do yourself a favor and check it out.

https://t.co/c5bC5VBMmx
10. Onto sites that you can play with.

We'll start with https://t.co/XgkFdWCblT

This site challenges you to see what you can make with 140 characters of Javascript.

The results are INCREDIBLE.

And they're also surprisingly easy to create.

https://t.co/8dGPyhPM5b
11. Another one that'll boggle your mind: this fluid simulation tool.

I challenge you to not play with this for at least a few minutes.

Works on mobile too.

https://t.co/31Z94NH26v
12. If you're bored of looking out the same window every day, you can adopt another with @windowswap.

And if you don't like that one, just shuffle to another.

Travel the world, without the airport security. 🙂

https://t.co/TtMCxRQpKS
13. While you're at it, might as well learn a language.

Instead of having to commit to learning goals that you'll never stick to, @JoinToucan lets you learn languages passively while you're browsing.

It's very bueno.

https://t.co/K34oMGHmBA
14. Onto data tools. To start, I want to slip in a friendly reminder:

Take a minute to understand how many FB third-party sites are tracking you. (A lot)

If you want, turn them off with a click.

The thread shares the same for Google & Twitter.

https://t.co/Mpy2bHgGPX
15. Everyone uses Google. Almost no one uses Google Ngram.

Ngram indexed text from a huge # of books, printed from 1500 to 2008.

Use this data to understand how the frequency of words have changed (like priority vs priorities)...and also shaped society.

https://t.co/e8xIsxdS7d
16. If we're talking data, we HAVE to talk Reddit.

As a top 20 site, the amount of value on the platform is insane.

To start, here are some of my favourite subreddits.

If you go explore one, make it r/dataisbeautiful.

https://t.co/mWGFe9A8Zp
17. If you have a favourite subreddit, dump it in Subreddit Stats.

It'll allow you to sift through the noise and see what the best posts of all time were.

You'll also be able to see:
• How quickly its grown
• Popular keywords
• Related subreddits

https://t.co/u0UjM5S629
18. Speaking of subreddits, this might be my favourite tool on the web 👇

It allows you to visually see the how subreddits relate.

Try something like "r/herbalism" and you'll find all types:
• r/mushroom-hunting
• r/drugnerds
• r/babywitch

https://t.co/jfnChgUBTg
19. Going down these Reddit rabbit holes will often surface the most interesting things.

For example, one of my deep dives surfaced this list of 27k open salaries (and growing)

Side note: someone sign me up for turnip farming...

https://t.co/YE9HywWaIO
20. A similar tool also exists for podcasts!

Use @getrephonic to find new podcasts that are tangential to the podcasts that you already know and love.

https://t.co/dn2B3SpyMk
21. If you like data, you're probably also obsessed with moving infographics.

There are several sites that let you make these on your own, like @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h

https://t.co/myHbtIaLG9
22. Since we're talking data, I encourage you to bookmark @OurWorldInData.

One of the premier sources of high-quality information, curated in a digestible way.

Their work really puts things into perspective...

https://t.co/ooXaf6eicG
23. Onto the final section: tools for creators

Let's start with the harsh reality that most creators fail.

But, it's the "successful" ones that get back up.

I love @Shpigford's page that shares all 62 of his creations since 2003 and where they went.

https://t.co/b4wa2LUSPD
24. If you're just starting to create online, take a deep breath and remember:

Even the biggest companies in the world started somewhere.

@FirstVersions is a great site that showcases the early days of sites from Nike to Amazon to Coca Cola.

https://t.co/KMaht9LUb1
25. Remember, building products should be fun.

If you're looking for a lol, check out the https://t.co/oGgNu5AhS0

This site takes "ideas are worthless" to a new level. 😂

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

Time for a Thread🧵On yesterday’s “F&O Pe Charcha - Diary Of An Option Seller” with @Mitesh_Engr by @Paytm Money

Why Gain/loss ratio is important that the batting average
• More than the Win Loss ratio check the total Gain /loss ratio
• If your avg loss is 1% and avg gain is +5% then even if you are losing in 7 positions and winning in 3 out of 10 still you will be net profitable

Treat Trading as a business:
• Stick to a single strategy. Eg: A restaurateur usually wouldn’t be changing his recipe on a daily basis
• Mitesh Sir only works on BO or BD strategy, as he is a versatile trader

• Any trader should atleast experience 3 scenarios i.e. bull, bear & consolidation
• Target 4% per month i.e. 48% p.a.
• Option buying requires skill, everyday there wont be huge momentum, so buying options won’t yield good results, but high chances of falling into a bad habit

Stock Selection:
• In F&O segment there are ~150 stocks
• Not everyday all stocks will move
• Only 5-7 stocks move upside or downside
• Focus only these momentum stocks
• Check which one is moving
• Range BO/BD never disappoints. BO/BD from a rectangle (consolidation)

Important paper from Google on large batch optimization. They do impressively careful experiments measuring # iterations needed to achieve target validation error at various batch sizes. The main "surprise" is the lack of surprises. [thread]

https://t.co/7QIx5CFdfJ


The paper is a good example of lots of elements of good experimental design. They validate their metric by showing lots of variants give consistent results. They tune hyperparamters separately for each condition, check that optimum isn't at the endpoints, and measure sensitivity.

They have separate experiments where the hold fixed # iterations and # epochs, which (as they explain) measure very different things. They avoid confounds, such as batch norm's artificial dependence between batch size and regularization strength.

When the experiments are done carefully enough, the results are remarkably consistent between different datasets and architectures. Qualitatively, MNIST behaves just like ImageNet.

Importantly, they don't find any evidence for a "sharp/flat optima" effect whereby better optimization leads to worse final results. They have a good discussion of experimental artifacts/confounds in past papers where such effects were reported.

Srikanteshwara Temple,
#Nanjangud  #Karnatakatemples 🚩

Srikanteshwara Temple or
Nanjundeshwara Temple is a famous Shiva Temple located in Karnataka at the bank of river  Kapila. Temple is also called Varanasi of South. Nanjunda means one who has consumed poison.


Story is  related to the Samudra Mathanam when Paramashiva had to consume halahala.

Parashurama worshipped Mahadeva here to relieve himself from the curse of Mathru Hatya. While clearing the place to do poojas Parashurama's  axe hit the Shivalingam and it began bleeding, that


mark is still visible even today. Thus
it is also believed that Parashurama did Shiva Prathishta here

Sthala Puranam says that, once there was a demon named Keshi who disturbed the people in the area, after  getting blessing from Brahma Deva  and Mahavishnu. Mahadeva appeared


here and killed demon Keshi and blessed this place as Papa Vinashini. Whoever praying to Srikanteshwara or Nanjundeshwara, after bathing in the  Kabini River will be relieved from all sins.

Nanjundeshwaraya Namah
