What I find obnoxious, and typical of MIT, is how credit is allocated. "Copyright © 2009--2015 H. Miller" Only hmm (H. Miller) didn't do the work. The "About" page, fortunately, lists the authors, but doesn't really credit who did what. Nothing personal about hmm, but a lot personal about the MIT culture of credit theft. MIT didn't have this culture 25 years ago. If this was © MIT, it'd be okay. But it's the PI on th…
Shameless plug for my React library for creating interactive visualizations on the web, in case anyone wants to make similar things. Probably needs a little work to make things this sophisticated though :) https://mafs.dev/

Wow, this is stunning! I foresee this as a frontend visualisation tool for a Brilliant.org competitor (something I have been wanting to do for a while, but haven't been able to find time for)

I think it would appeal to young people. Brainlet is a popular slang word these days.
What do you think my friends?

> the MIT culture of credit theft This makes me think about who we revere as scientists and who we compare ourselves to. A lot of success in life is out of our control. Conditions produce outliers, not diligence and hard work (Outlier X probably did work hard, but the conditions were so for their nervous system to act as such).
For example, I'm in academia, but I prefer to solve interesting problems and create new things of high quality. I have never had to retract a paper, nor has anyone found a mistake in my work. I don't supervise more than one or two students at a time, because I want to be able to devote time to them. People like me languish and do not get promoted to tenure.
I have colleagues who pride themselves on how many e-mails they answer a day and recruit large labs of grad students who download neural net codes, tweak and publish. They talk of "least publishable units, or LPUs" and are always submitting and chairing ... submitting grants, submitting papers, chairing committees, etc. They get tenure very quickly and make a lot more money than I do. But they aren't scientists, they are bureaucrats who send emails. They decide what science is done, because they chair funding committees, so we get boring, incremental science that is stuck in local minima.
I would like a neurology site called brainlets. I think it would appeal to young people. Brainlet is a popular slang word these days. What do you think my friends?
