First project sounds like Coinbase.

Him, Tao, Emerton, Kisin, Coates, Calegari Bros... all Australian. Must be something in the water.

I'm not sure how many people care. It's like finding out Pepsi owns Aquafina.

N.b. the article uses d for the dimension, and n for the moment index. I haven't cranked out the details, but I believe that this is already true just assuming the fourth moments o…

If you pass the interview as a generalist, Google absolutely prefers for people to work in their Mountain View office. 1. The cost of relocation is minuscule compared to the total …

When talking about chess: "But even the most powerful program can be defeated by a skilled human player with access to a computer—even a computer less powerful than the opponent." …

Google doesn't open a 500-engineer research lab in Grand Rapids, MI because there are not 500 Google-caliber engineers already living in Grand Rapids, MI. This is not a statement a…

What if you replace it with p(x|y) = 1, p(x|!y) = 0, and time(y) That rules out the rooster counter-example. If y is a boolean, I guess the only thing you can "do" to it is negate …

As a former mathematican, I was at first a little offended and dismissive of his claim. But, perhaps what one can say is that mathematicians don't seem to distinguish "causation" w…

I think the first point is only true for symmetric matrices (which includes those that show up in multivariable calc). In general, the eigenvectors need not be orthogonal.

I completely disagree. One of the main reasons I prefer Instagram is precisely that it's not packed to the brim with features I don't use.

It does seem reasonable that there would be a cap, but I wonder how much cutting the pensions of a few thousand highly paid retirees will impact the budget.

Perhaps a more apt analogy is that mental arithmetic tricks are to math what stenography is to writing.

Category theory is basically a language. If one wanted to formulate an explicit conjecture corresponding to the original Langlands program, it could possibly be phrased as some kin…

> 3. There are ways to make money online without ads begging you to click on them, and they involve real-world goods and services that your website can help connect people for? Yea…

The average gap is log(n), but the maximal gap is not well understood. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cram%C3%A9r%27s_conjecture , current results are Unconditional: n^…

Fun fact: compositions of the two operations x -> x + 1 and x -> (x==0) ? 1 : (x == 1) ? 0 : x generate all possible operations.

Consider it something like a benchmark of human progress.

Nit: the largest prime discovered is 2^(277,232,917)-1 not 2^(277,232,917-1)

That top pay grade is less than the starting compensation for PhD's at the big tech co's. Not to mention free food, potential for career growth, and an open non-militaristic cultur…

Probably because at the end of the day, he doesn't want to fight some legal battle, he wants to do mathematics.

I have never seen a theorem prover applied to even basic 100-year-old results in Algebraic Number Theory. I think you underestimate the difficulty in translating a mathematical ide…

You can try requesting as desktop from the mobile browser. I've gotten it to work before, though now when I try it, it crashes the browser?!

So brave.
