You know what really sucks about this? People upload my work onto Pinterest all the time without my permission, so it'll be scraped now whether I like it or not.

Algorithms are breaking how we think
YouTube video by Technology Connections Algorithms are breaking how we think

This video does such a good job saying what I have been trying to say about commercial AI.

An AI can write a 10th grade lit essay, but the point of an essay assignment is not to produce an essay. The essay teaches critical thinking, research skills, etc. The effort is the point.

A good sign you're in a tech bubble is when non-tech people are raving about technologies. In a normal environment they shouldn't care how or why the product works, only that it works and that it's good. My dad shouldn't be calling me to talk about MongoDB or Typescript, it's just internal cogs 1/3

Electric charge is an integer quantity in nature. It didn't have to be this way: We could imagine a world in which electrons and protons have charges that aren't precisely equal and opposed to each other. Chemistry would break! So where does this conspiracy come from? (it's topology) ๐Ÿงต

Theorem. If $n$ is an integer and $n^2$ is even, then $n$ is itself even.

Proof. Contrapositives are for cowards, so assume $n$ is an integer and $n^2$ is even. Then $n^2=2k$ for some integer $k$, and thus $n^2-2k=0$. Behold:
\[ n = n + (n^2-2k) = n(n+1)-2k. \]
Both $n(n+1)$ and $2k$ are even, so $n$ is even.
QED.

There's a new volcano warning in Iceland. Hasn't erupted yet but there's a high likelihood it will soon. Located just east of the center of the country.

The name? Bรกrรฐarbunga.
Bรกrรฐur is a male name. Bunga means Bulge.
Yes. Bรกrรฐur's bulge might erupt soon.

The most important mathematical tool is perseverance. A thing math teachers are paid to erode.

The second most important mathematical tool is creativity. A thing you are forbidden from doing until you have committed to the subject.
