I almost believe that Google deliberately made search worse so we would have to use Gen AI instead. I will confess that I am using Gen AI for things that I used to search for because search no longer returns relevant results.

I refuse to learn who Sydney Sweeney is, or why we are talking about them.

Happy Pedant's Pi Day! Everybody knows that 22/7 is a better approximation to π than 3.14.

ChatGPT cannot "admit" anything. Please try to avoid words that falsely imply that AI models have minds.

Is that Father Guido Sarducci?

There should be a Math Overflow for stupid math questions.

Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.

I know that there are 1440 minutes in a day, so 1440 hours must be 60 days.

Does anyone know who invented this problem? I think that I heard it from Matt Enlow, but it might have been some other smart math person on Twitter.

Tree diagram showing that all numbers from 1 to 100 can be reached by doubling and/or digit reversal, except multiples of 3 or 11.

I have been exploring the following problem. If we start with 1, and repeatedly double and/or reverse the digits, is it possible to reach every number? It's easy to show that multiples of 3 and 11 cannot be reached, but can we reach every other number?

This should be valid syntax in Python, since it's allowed in comprehensions:

for n in range(10) if n % 3:
print(n)

I don't know how you can call it a diversion when people's fundamental rights are being attacked. It feels like you are saying that trans kids don't matter.

Mark Zuckerberg's Meta AI app is one of the most depressing places online Mark Zuckerberg's Meta AI app has become the saddest place on the internet with its public feed of personal overshares.

Meta launched a stand-alone AI app and now it is full of sensitive content from Facebook users who appear to be unaware that they have made their conversations public: www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerb...

2 + 3 = 5
2 + 3 + 5 + ... + 3833 = 3847 + 3851 + 3853 + ... + 5557
Any others?

The feud between Musk and Trump is just a publicity stunt to get people to watch Mountainhead.

Either left or right is fine, but if you're doing both in the same expression then it gets hard to read.

I think that when you have functions acting on the left and methods acting on the right, the code becomes difficult to read. One wants to be able to read from left to right.

Facebook doesn't sell your data. They just sell targeting advertising based on your location, demographics, interests, and behaviors, which is somehow completely different.

I'd rather Wang Chung tonight, to be honest.

Is it true that 1, 2, 6, 42, and 1806 are the only numbers n such that gcd(d+1, n) > 1 for every proper divisor d of n?

Perhaps, but Christianity is a community of believers. When a Christian says that someone else is not a real Christian, they aren't making a factual statement as much as they are trying to exclude that person from the community. I am all for shunning MTG.

the revealed position of the republican party is that it thinks broad expansion of higher education — and especially its expansion for certain americans — was a mistake that must be rolled back

I give it 4 weeks until Trump is straight up denying the Holocaust. He sure seems to be moving in that direction.
