*ahem* Katie Bouman has contributed next to nothing to the black hole photo project. This is verifiable by documentation, the media is over blowing her participation because they are starved for women's accomplishments. Facts don't care about your feelings

Just post this proof:
Tuns out, she did a sub sub sub part of a programm. A sort of 'adaptor' that just reformats certain data into another format, and then feeds it into the ACTUAL programm.
That misrepresentation of what she actually contributed and what she actually did is nauseing. Either nepotism on the part of the institution OR the media.
Sources :
here, what SHE wrote ( HOPSTOOLS ) : https://github.com/klbouman/hopstools
Here the mother program, where that optional part of her is added, where it acts as a sort of interface to import one more datatype by reformatting it.
source : https://github.com/sao-eht/eat/graphs/contributors
It's kinda ridiculous, how the media morphs this into something COMPLETEY different.
btw: that's also NOT an algo, but just reformatting data.
────────
You dont understand - she did NOT write and algo at all. sche did NOT write an image tool at all.
What she did code is at max about 4 pages of code - but more importantly - is neither an algo, nor a imaging program but is an ADAPTOR for a source of data, which reformats the data to feed it into the mother program - of which she contributed that adaptor, which makes up ca 0.01% of said mother program at max AND is marked as "optional" part of the program
sources : https://github.com/sao-eht/eat/graphs/contributors
────────
Her whole bundle ("hopstools") here was merged into the mother programm and counted as one commit of 'mother' program. hopstools, of which she did at max 25% Her share on contribution on this actual imaging program is about 0.3% max, but OK lets say 1% - So she did less than 1/4 of 1% of the work. max. If we're very generous.
this little part is the share that her contribution does. And again : HOPSTOOLS is just an adaptor for another dataformat that can be read into the 'mother' programm. that's it.
Andrew Chael wrote 850k out of the 900k lines of code He was also the leader of the project Michael D. Johnson wrote 12k lines of code Chanchikwan wrote 5k lines of code
The woman? Only wrote 2.4k lines of code
Interestingly enough, the code she wrote was importing something called HOPStools
Interestingly enough if we go look at HOPStools and all its contributors we get:
weilgusm wrote 2.9k lines of code
chanchikwan wrote 676 lines of code
Andrew Chael wrote 1.2k lines of code
jpbarrett wrote 71 lines of code
Katie Bouman wrote 2 lines of code
Hell, even on the hopstools thing there is this in the summary:
"=============================
For Katie:
cd /Users/klbouman/Research/vlbi_imaging/software/hops/build source hops.bash
run this file from: /Users/klbouman/Research/vlbi_imaging/software/hops/eat"
She also fixed absolutely none of the bugs on the EHT
And the algorithm they talk about? It was plagiarized off of a japanese guy named Mareki Honma who made the thing back in 2012, and uploaded/updated it to github in 2016
Andrew Chael asked to use it, Honma helped him adapt it, and was part of 60 japanese people working on the project
Katie Bouman, also isn't following any one at all on Github and has basically only utilized it for these two projects (Hopstools and EHT)
────────
The second co-leader of the EHT imaging group is Kazunori Akiyama with the first being, Andrew Chael.

Looks like MIT's social media twitter account didn't collaborate with MIT's own news office since in reality, Katie Bouman did not lead any team at all or was a leader at all.
The actual leaders were Kazunori Akiyama and Andrew Chael.
Notice how before this social media shilling on twitter, the MIT article only mentioned Katie Bouman once at the very end of the article.
http://news.mit.edu/2019/mit-haystack-first-image-black-hole-0410
The Haystack EHT team includes John Barrett, Roger Cappallo, Joseph Crowley, Mark Derome, Kevin Dudevoir, Michael Hecht, Lynn Matthews, Kotaro Moriyama, Michael Poirier, Alan Rogers, Chester Ruszczyk, Jason SooHoo, Don Sousa, Michael Titus, and Alan Whitney. Additional contributors were MIT alumni Daniel Palumbo, Katie Bouman, Lindy Blackburn, Sera Markoff, and Bill Freeman, a professor in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
How long before this MIT article written by MIT themselves gets taken down and rewritten to give Katie Bouman a whole paragraph to herself?
When will the mainstream media take responsibility for inaccurate reporting? Why is there such a glaring difference between one of MIT's twitter accounts versus their own press release?
Why were the 2 leaders: Kazunori Akiyama and Andrew Chael completely ignored by everybody else?
4 teams around the world.
American team was ked by Kazunori Akiyama and Andrew Chael.
Nowhere it is mentioned that Katie Bouman led the American team, just only these 2 males who were co leaders.
Where did this Katie Bouman was leader originate from? Even MIT's own news article doesn't mention this.
http://news.mit.edu/2019/mit-haystack-first-image-black-hole-0410
Katie Bouman did not invent the algorithm.
Multiple people are cited on the limited proof of concept thesis.
The actual research and development of practical application of this technology, as well as development of the algorithm itself, was done by a huge team of researchers, not Katie Bouman:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.06226
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.06226.pdf
https://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2041-8205
This is the primary research that led to the possibility of imaging the black hole. Notice how the research cites Andrew Chael’s EHT imaging library (the guy who wrote 850,000 lines of code). Chael wrote the entire library. To not give him the same or preferably more credit than Bouman is pretty messed up.
https://bhi.fas.harvard.edu/people/andrew-chael
Also, Katie Boumsn did not lead or manage anything. These are the directors, managers, and affiliates:
https://bhi.fas.harvard.edu/our-people
Katie Bouman does not deserve 100%, 50%, 25%, 10%, 5%, or even 1% of the credit. There are so many people involved that made far more significant contributions (like Andrew Chael developing the EHT imaging library).
What has science come to when such incredible falsehoods about who contributed to research are perpetuated by the scientific community and mainstream media? It’s wrong.
ITS OVER FOR FRAUDING ROASTIES (FUCK THEM BTW)
Supergalactic cluster IQ
Holy shit lmao that's definitive. IncelTears and Leddit blown the fuck out.
nah they just ignore it and continue to pushing their agenda. we'll start to see a lot more of this too because they are forcing women into leadership positions as overseers and managers of the betas who do all the work whilst the foid does none, then they get the credit cause they are the 'leader'.
Schwarzschild Radius IQ. IT won't touch this
[here's how r/pics responded to his comment](https://i.imgur.com/rBKRiry.png). there's no point trying to argue with these people. it doesn't matter what you say. if you're a virgin, you're wrong.
Implying that he’s special or something? Wow a wild software dev appeared! Probably wrote 1 line of code 20 years ago and is just LARPing that he’s a dev. This shit happens all the time in normfag communities
I'm familiar with CS and data adapter doesnt sound like its fake
schwarzschild radius is very very small
Okay the radius of Schwarzschild's mum
What? That depends on what we are talking about.
Inverse SWC radius IQ :lol:
Not gonna lie thats pretty based
Universe span IQ, constantly increasing at an accelerated rate
wow look at this contribution of Katie https://twitter.com/thisgreyspirit/status/1116177824124219392 she made stickers that GLOW in the DARK, yay!
Holy fuck this can’t be fucking real
the chael guy is an obvious cuck btw
Mass of the newly discovered blackhole IQ
LOL ABSOLUTE ANNIHILATION.
post this everywhere, watch normies and foids LOSE IT
Blackholes gravitational pull level IQ. Thanks anon. Fuck these whores.
Holy fucking shit this is a quasar level iq post, you my sir are the brightest object in the universe.

Jesus i didnt realize it was that bad. Its annoying to me because ive seen some literal genius women at comp sci, why not glorify those women instead of making up a story to glorify someone who doesn't deserve it.
The smart ones tend to be autistic and insecure. How could the media create stories about a woman when she doesn't even have a facebook picture.
Have an awkward autistic women be your hero? Also this is academia in hard sciences everyone is like this apparently..
Because they're nota manic pixie girls
Good work, detectivecel.
Maybe If they worship her enough shel'll let them acces her black hole.
Beyond Multi-Universal IQ
You know what? I don't care about your facts and reputable sources. You are a r/Braincels poster. I'm shutting this down.
TWO count that TWO lines of code. JFL I wrote more code for my community college projects.
Good fucking god the iq on this is so high it hurts to read
I'm too low IQ to comprehend this post.
Unreal. What a well researched post. Completely exposed this fucked up clown world injustice.
lol of course it is in python.
Well python is good for big data stuff
Python is great if I have something I want written quickly and don't care how long it takes. If I have 35TB of image processing to do, I would not use Python.
I would guess it’s because they’re scientists that aren’t computer scientists and didn’t have the budget to hire a team of software people. Python is relatively easy
Then you wouldn't be very smart. For image manipulation Python calls C routines under the hood. It is merely an API to call C methods. So you can have the speed of development AND execution.
This isn't server side python, this actually works (Also the reason why Numpy, SciPy, ScikitLearn, TensorFlow, Keras, Caffee etc etc all work - they are all Python APIs to C code underneath!)
Buying compute or just borrowing some you already own >>> developing some hard theoretical shit in C or Rust and probably needing to hire talent
Holy shit! Tsar Bomba sized blackpill just got dropped on this thread!
Doing god's work, bro. Thanks!
All roasties should be forced to undergo mandatory labiaplasty.

You absolute exceptional transcendent saint of wrecking carnage on the deceitful dishonest slanderous media.
This is such a stunning and marvelous rebuttal.
Man like Dorkydor dropping truth bombs
An adaptor is still an algorithm, it takes in input (the unformatted data) and results in an output (the formatted data). Obviously this code has had many contributors and none of the whole thing can be attributed to any one person.
Please be more careful, they claim she was the programming project lead and wrote the algorithm used by the software. https://github.com/achael/eht-imaging#some-publications-that-use-ehtim cites Computational Imaging for VLBI Image Reconstruction, Bouman et al. 2016 and Reconstructing Video from Interferometric Measurements of Time-Varying Sources, Bouman et al. 2017. The former does not credit Chael and the latter does, and other cited works also credit Bouman. So it is unlikely he did all the work on that one and she took the credit. Additionally the repository is owned by Chael, indicating he is not trying to give her any undeserved credit for writing the code. The hopstools is owned by her without her contributing, but if she's leading the programming I can see why she would setup a repo for people to put their code in.
Just because she lead the code writing does not mean she would contribute the most code or that she lead the overall project, and it appears she probably wrote a relevant algorithm (I do not know the significance of the various works cited by the code). Writing most code is a simple task, determining how it is structured and the algorithms used is far more complex and would be deserving of more recognition.
I find no evidence against the claims made by the media, I am not saying that I support the implied magnitude of her contribution as I have no information in the matter. I also don't see where your claims that Chael and Akiyama lead the team come from, or the stuff about Honma.
She's not, already addressed on the main post
She didn't, already addressed on the main post.
But of course you are just a retarded incel tears poster who made this account only to defend muh womyn. Literally your only post ever is this one. Based retard don't expect any further replies from me.
Honma Mareki did the algorithm back in 2011/2012. Why are people attributing it to that parasite foid?
