there's a sort of pundit disease, made worse by the platform split, where everything is still framed as being the fault of the losers, and not as exercise of agency by the winners. If we're going to live in a world of shit, can we at least give them credit for the fact that it's what they truly want

Protein Synthesis (1971)
Time for something completely different. "This film creatively illustrates the process of protein synthesis through dance, symbolizing the assembly of amino acids into proteins." www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GfW...

PCA can be thought of as fitting a p-dimensional ellipsoid to the data, where each axis of the ellipsoid represents a principal component. If some axis of the ellipsoid is small, then the variance along that axis is also small.
Figure 1b from https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08531-5/figures/1
Amazing to me how useful looking at data in 2D PCA continues to be, even though the approach sounds crazy on paperβ"p-dimensional ellipsoid", rantings of a madman. PCA is the cockroach of dimension reduction. I expect it to be present in any advanced galactic civilization.
