Who Wrote the Black Hole Algorithm?

This is Dr Katie Bouman the computer scientist behind the first ever image of a black-hole. She developed the algorithm that turned telescopic data into the historic photo we see today. This is Andrew Chael. He wrote 850,000 of the 900,000 lines of code that were written in the historic black-hole image algorithm! Contributions to master, excluding merge commits klbouman added class to enable scientific notation in the colorbar added function to figure out the amt of systematic noise you need to add to get to a chiq of 1 added new method to train basin lines within a circle to all have the same overlapping region added class to enable scientific notation in the colorbar added function to figure out the amt of systematic noise you need to add to get to a chiq of 1 added function to enable scientific notation in the colorbar

В меме сравниваются вирусная фотография Кэти Бауман, которую называют создательницей алгоритма для первого изображения чёрной дыры, и программист Эндрю Чел, написавший большую часть кода этого алгоритма. Скриншоты коммитов подчёркивают, что за громким достижением стояла огромная работа других участников команды. Мем используют как саркастическую реакцию на несправедливое распределение заслуг и популярность одного человека вместо коллективного труда. EN: The meme compares the viral photo of Katie Bouman, often described as the creator of the algorithm for the first black-hole image, with programmer Andrew Chael, who wrote most of that algorithm’s code. Screenshots of the commits emphasize that the celebrated achievement depended on a huge amount of work by other team members. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to unfairly distributed credit and the popularity of one person over collective work.
