I find the relevant explanation here [1]:

numpy.invert
[...]
Compute bit-wise inversion, or bit-wise NOT, element-wise.

Computes the bit-wise NOT of the underlying binary representation of the integers in the input arrays. This ufunc implements the C/Python operator ~.
[...]
The ~ operator can be used as a shorthand for np.invert on ndarrays.

x1 = np.array([True, False])

~x1
array([False,  True])
