Students today are being robbed of the joy of writing unhinged college essays and finding it 10 years later and thinking it actually slaps

1. Computers were a mistake

You always know you’re onto something when the LLM starts hallucinating real bad.

It’s never too late for a goth phase. I’m personally in one right now and refuse to apologize.

I decided to give my nephew some crypto for his birthday to teach him financial responsibility. He asked “what can I buy with this?” To which I had to reply “nothing.”

Does it work well from first hand experience?

I am also very proud of the Land Acknowledgement I put in my code of conduct.

GitHub - Center-For-Complex-Systems-Science/causationentropy: Implementation of Causation Entropy from Clarkson Center for Complex Systems Science (C3S2) Implementation of Causation Entropy from Clarkson Center for Complex Systems Science (C3S2) - Center-For-Complex-Systems-Science/causationentropy

I recently wrote a new causal network discovery Python library.
My library has 100% unit and integration test coverage.
Leave me a ⭐ on GitHub and I will forever be in your debt.

Glad the streaming platforms have learned the TACO trade I guess

One time I read a paper where they were denouncing Brouwer as a “dangerous Bolshevik”

I think I get the diffusion over the hodge laplacian thing. Happy to chat about it

Nice.

Hell yeah

No, but LOL

illocution and perlocution be damned

I can’t email people python programs or word documents anymore. It seriously hinders collaboration. But also, how much money is this useless advice costing?

I love the banner *warning: this is coming from outside the university*.

Like yeah, it’s called email. Cybersecurity grifters and the corporate consulting industry selling people on industry based performance monitoring is a waste of resources and does not translate to academic settings.

The weirdest thing to come out of this last week were the people bailing from Bluesky for Twitter. Like ah yes, Twitter; the paragon of decorum.

Ruining the Gen alpha 67 meme by informing them it’s an isolated prime number.

I think we can all have a little ultrafinitism as a treat. I meant more that he wrote a book arguing for the surreal numbers being the platonic ideal form for numbers themselves. Obviously, that’s a little silly.

This is actually unironically similar to what Alain Badiou believes.

Anyone got any cool topology facts about the Kolmogorov Arnold Representation theorem?

Yeah, it’s super cool. I’m no expert in it or anything. I just know one of the key results is that the solutions of linear homogeneous ODE can be written in terms of analytic functions boils down to the solvability of a differential Galois groups.

I was just talking about this. There are some cool results from differential Galois theory that tell you when it is computable. One of my favorite subjects

For me the whole point of getting tattooed is the moment of validation when my buddy doing it goes “hell yeah man. That’s sick.”

Tbh I think standardized tests are the worst
