    Did the same person write all these books, which altogether amount to upwards of 10k pages? From his website, he is quite an active research mathematician too. While just writing s…

    I had never about Ruth Kluger before this article, and I think it is, in general, very hard to come by her viewpoint as a layperson, who is not European and/or Jewish, because the …

    I think the questions asked by researchers in #2 are very different from those by that of #1. The questions mostly surround the why's and how's of AI, i.e, mathematical questions. …

    I have a theory as to why Engelbart (and in general, some other thinkers far ahead of their time) have trouble being appreciated and why "serious" computer scientists (in general, …

    This article makes some excellent hypotheses about music that I think everyone can anecdotally confirm. To explain the attributes of the brain some of these hypotheses allude to, i…

    Could you explain why the restriction over selling user data would be a violation of first amendment rights? Overall, isn't your last point also the source of problems? If the whol…

    The author notes "Let us hope there are no real-world applications" when describing the Navier-Stokes regularity and smoothness problem. It looks like he meant to write the opposit…

    I haven't thought about this carefully but is it correct to say the probability of finding n as the leading digits for a bounded m (but both very large) is a decreasing function of…

    Very cool! Is there a pattern in the sequence of m's? It feels as though there must be some bounds on the terms of the sequence on m's given that the probability of appearance of n…

    Their data might be small steps in the right direction though. My field is not neuroscience but from the outside, it seems that neuroimaging techniques are considered the best way …

    There is certainly only one math (if you subscribe to this idea -- it is also the truth) but many ways of doing it. Given doing math (at least at the research level) requires a sta…
