Since Elon Musk seems to hate this documentary about him from one of my favorite non-fiction filmmakers, Alex Gibney, figured it was my duty to spread a link to the trailer so you can see it for yourself. ENJOY: loom.ly/oA2_-p8

New paper on (among other things) generating Cannon-Thurston maps from veering triangulations, joint work with Jason Manning and Saul Schleimer. arxiv.org/abs/2609.14598. We also made lots of pictures of these space-filling curves, available at math.okstate.edu/people/seger...

This is exactly what those companies are after: tricking everybody into the perception that 'all math is solved by AI'. Here's my reply to this. web.mathi.uni-heidelberg.de/media/Meanin...

This fall I am co-teaching a brand-new class – ENGR 009: Fabricating Tessellations and Tilings. It's roughly equal parts math and design, filtered thru an engineering perspective. The syllabus and all assignments are freely available to the public at mzucker.github.io/e9_f2026/

Since the semester starts in a few days, I thought I'd share a link to the web app I've been working on: divisbyzero.github.io/impossible-o.... It lets you design your own impossible objects! Anyone can view and rotate them in a browser, but you can also download the OpenSCAD file to generate a

Thank you, @moduality.bsky.social for pointing out the weird shadows of my impossible objects. That got me to think of yet another way to show how weird they are. Here, a light is shining down from behind at a 45° angle!

Currently, this is my favorite decomposition of the infinite knight’s graph. Note that each of the four 2-factors is a translation of any of the others, and each has mirror symmetry in the downward sloping diagonal.

We should all start spelling "Ai" with a lowercase "i" because (1) the "Artifice" part should have more weight, the "intelligence" part less, and (2) we gotta put more respect on Weird Al Yankovic's name.

Me to Yale: "If fighting Trump costs Yale billions of dollars, so be it. Yale actually has billions of dollars that it could devote to this fight. This is an existential moment. If Yale does not fight, it will become a mediocre institution for cowards, right wingers, and white supremacists..."

The large image on the right shows a 24x24 section of a decomposition of the infinite knight's graph into four 2-factors The four smaller images on the left show the four 2-factors. Here, the yellow and blue 2-factors are translations of each other, and the same is true for the black and red.

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

Weeks ago, @chanda.blacksky.app sent me this declaration, written and signed by a bunch of mathematicians. But I only had time to read it yesterday, which ended up being right on time given a new round of hype falling exactly under the patterns this document notes.🧵 leidendeclaration.ai

I asked Gemini if it's more accurate to say that LLM's are sycophantic or obsequious, and it said that was one of the best questions it had ever been asked.

A 24x24 section of a decomposition of the infinite knight's graph into four 2-factors. The vertices are where eight "strands" meet at a point. If you zoom in, you'll see that each vertex has two yellow strands, two blue strands, two black strands, and two red strands.

I would kill or die for Larry

A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."
