Determination…If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again

Just cuz your work day/week is over doesn't mean the work is done.

A downed log shows a row of similar depth chew marks made by a persistent beaver--down to the final "pencil point" that allowed the beaver to haul the rest of the tree into the water

If at first you don't succeed, chew chew chew again! #beaver #beavers #busybeaver #winterfood #wetlandlife #pondlife #wetlandwildlife

My PyData Seattle talk is now online:

How to Optimize Python for Slowness
Exploring Turing machines, Busy Beaver results, and Python programs that run absurdly long (and sometimes fast).

This week, we started the Winter Semester with our #SemesterKickOff, where the Computer Science Students' Council presented the #BusyBeaver awards! 🏃

The Busy Beavers go to instructors whose courses get outstanding student evaluations in base, core/advanced lectures, or seminars.

Hacker News discussed the monumental determination of BB(5), the fifth Busy Beaver value! This involved classifying all 5-state Turing Machines, tackling immense computational challenges, and revealing deep implications for theoretical computer science. #BusyBeaver 1/6

Researchers Determine Fifth Busy Beaver Value Using Formal Proof

Researchers verified the fifth Busy Beaver number, S(5), as 47,176,870 steps after checking 181,385,789 five‑state Turing machines—the first new value in over 40 years. getnews.me/researchers-determine-fi... #busybeaver #computability #coq

Busy Beaver Hunters Reach Numbers That Overwhelm Ordinary Math Imagine that someone gives you a list of five numbers: 1, 6, 21, 107 and — wait for it — 47,176,870. Can you guess what comes next? If you’re stumped, you’re not alone. These are the first five...

Busy Beaver Hunters Reach Numbers That Overwhelm Ordinary Math #Science #Mathematics #BusyBeaver #ComputationalLimits

Recent breakthroughs in Busy Beaver numbers, especially BB(6), highlight the limits of computation through Turing machines. What do you think these new bounds mean for our understanding of computation? #BusyBeaver #Mathematics #ResearchInsights LINK

Here’s someone who’s not taking Memorial Day off. Looks to me like a remodeling project on the Boise River.

9/10 The Busy Beaver function is a meta-function, which is how it gets its special properties. A key takeaway from the discussion. 🦫 #BusyBeaver #metafunction #mathfacts

3/10 How useful are infinite Turing Machines for finite beings? The Busy Beaver function links the finite & infinite. 🤯 #TuringMachine #BusyBeaver #infinity

I'm so fascinated by beavers and incredibly excited to finally have set up a few wildlife cams. Look at this cute bean trying to pull some vegetation down.
