    That's probably just Claude. I do enjoy finding new ways to call out the patterns it uses though.

    The background is that a counterexample to a famous mathematical conjecture was recently posted on X by an Anthropic employee. The counterexample, in form of a polynomial, is easy …

    I get where you're coming from but linear algebra is one of the most applied branches of mathematics out there. It's easy to visualize and easy to teach the computational side of i…

    Have you opened the book? There are both theorems and proofs there.

    Holy crap this Claude writing is actually impossible to read, it's like they specifically asked it to slop it up x10. The patterns are in every single sentence, every explanation o…

    I mentioned Langlands because it's one of the cool things related to Diophantine equations that the article mentions but I wouldn't expect it to be covered there. The connection be…

    The article doesn't really tell us much about the "why" unfortunately. Diophantine equations are introduced but all the interesting stuff is promised in future articles which haven…

    Then the journalist wonders why they don't mention Jony Ive who left Apple 7 years ago whose company was acquired by OpenAI. I guess they don't mention him because they don't have …

    I'd say we're already well past that point. Short-form "content" already exists and is messing with people's brains, this is the same thing just taken a few steps further. By the t…

    This list was made by some guy on twitter. https://x.com/keshavchan/status/1787861946173186062 It's unknown whether it has anything to do with Ilya Sutskever.

    The formatting of the articles on this website is bad. I've opened the first one and all the LaTeX formulas are messed up. The subscripts and superscripts are all flattened renderi…

    One gets bored exactly because it's transformative. I don't think most people have the capacity to adapt to "transformative technologies" every 10 years, especially when they chang…

    My first thought was "well of course it is, since pi is a little larger than 3" but it was cool to see an actual derivation of how much pi squared differs from 10 as a nice, closed…

    I'd say integrals or differentials are not as important on their own as the kinds of differential equations that come up in physics. Integrals and differentials don't produce hyper…

    The author has written two blog posts about their game (the latter is more about APL than the game itself though). You may find these interesting https://homewithinnowhere.com/post…

    I really loved that article. Creating games always seemed so daunting to me since I don't know a lot about how it's done, there are so many different processes involved. The soluti…

    Well can't you at least appreciate how it's all in this cool and down-to-earth lowercase? Clearly there was a stylistic effort.
