What a day for quantum information… Yet I am very proud to announce my first single author paper and in some sense a culmination of my work the last two years. It’s on a genuine theory of multi-indexed Schatten spaces: scirate.com/arxiv/2610.0... 🔗📄 What does this mean and what is it useful for?

I am 90 percent sure they pointed their internal model at the Shannon capacity of C_7 but couldn’t solve it. I think they should be much more transparent about the problems they couldn’t solve if they want to aid math better.

A lot of people are asking me how Nathan Cofnas was hired, UGent professor Bouke de Vries invited him to UGent. Bourke and Cofnas are part of the same global network to mainstream eugenics and far right academics. Of course funded by Peter Thiel and other rich far right activists.

New system: 1. A week before QIP deadline the program committee publishes the titles of all accepted papers. 2. Everyone prompts LLMs for a week to produce these papers. 3. For each title, the best paper gets accepted (decided by an LLM). 4. This week's QIP is over and another QIP happens next week.

arxiv has to be bold now and restrict submissions to X per person per year. avoids the flood of papers that is incoming, and also incentivises researchers to publish the most interesting results. gives them time to digest and think about what AI is producing. other work can be shared differently :)

Use of artificial intelligence. We are living in strange times. I do not claim to be the first author of this paper; rather, what best describes the situation is that I acted as a busy supervisor giving rough directions to an interesting problem to a student who is brighter and much, much faster than me. A student who then came up with the right proof ideas and fully executed them, wrote the paper and revised it under my guidance. I did not touch any of the writing directly (except for this disclaimer and the acknowledgements) but had the student implement changes according to my feedback, leaving this manuscript in their unique style — as I would usually do. I convinced myself to the best of my ability that all the statements and proofs are correct and checked all the references. The student, in this case, is Claude by Anthropic. The result is interesting enough to deserve wider attention (in my humble judgement), but it is unclear if the standard ways of disseminating work are still appropriate when so much of it is done by artificial intelligence. We will have to decide this as a community; for now, I defaulted to treat this as if it were a normal paper.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE @leftistlawyer.com · 15/07/2026

Dear Andy Serkis: Hobbits aren't real. Nowhere in the Lord of the Rings did Tolkien say "every single hobbit in the Shire is white." Also, if he did, hobbits aren't real. It won't destroy your story, which again, is fiction, to have some Black and Brown hobbits. Sincerely, Sheryl

The Shire feels very, very much like a very, a very white, you know…"

He tails off and pauses before continuing, with greater certainty: "They're not very concerned about what goes on beyond the borders of The Shire, but they know they don't want people coming in.

"Yes, there have been criticisms," he says, acknowledging arguments that are now almost a quarter of a century old.

"This particular film is somewhat acknowledging that. But I don't think we will be doing a politically correct just-casting-for-the sake-of-casting-and-ticking-boxes version of the film. So, it's where relevant basically."
