"It's like a radioactive tracer shot through global academia, briefly revealing a lower bound on how much garbage "research" is out there."

What is...Padé approximation?
Goal.
I would like to tell you a bit about my favorite theorems, ideas or concepts in mathematics and why I like them so much.
This time.
What is...Padé approximation? Or: Better than Taylor.

Unraveling complex systems: The backtracking dynamical cavity method
In physics, a "disordered system" refers to a physical system whose components—e.g., its atoms—are not organized in any discernible way. Like a drawer full of random socks, a disordered system lacks ...
The Cynical Genius Illusion: Exploring and Debunking Lay Beliefs About Cynicism and Competence
Abstract:
Cynicism refers to a negative appraisal of human nature — a belief that self-interest is the ultimate motive guiding human behavior. We explored laypersons’ beliefs about cynicism and competence and to what extent these beliefs correspond to reality. Four studies showed that laypeople tend to believe in cynical individuals’ cognitive superiority. A further three studies based on the data of about 200,000 individuals from 30 countries debunked these lay beliefs as illusionary by revealing that cynical (vs. less cynical) individuals generally do worse on cognitive ability and academic competency tasks. Cross-cultural analyses showed that competent individuals held contingent attitudes and endorsed cynicism only if it was warranted in a given sociocultural environment. Less competent individuals embraced cynicism unconditionally, suggesting that-at low levels of competence holding a cynical worldview might represent an adaptive default strategy to avoid the potential costs of falling prey to others’ cunning.
