My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

Kai Shaikh, a Ph.D. student in mathematics at the University of Toronto, also currently at SLMath, observed that theorems are easy to use as benchmarks, but that they capture little of the wonderment at the heart of math. "Just like a photograph of a mile marker can't provide much of the value of actually going on a hike," he said,
"it would seem to me that proofs without stories, or even stories without struggle or mystery, and first glimpses of strange beasts, are not very meaningful or valuable to us humans."

I’m sorry, did a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate just ‘Won’t somebody think of the neo-Nazis?’ during a live TV debate?

Trump can’t demolish the east wing, he demolished the east wing. He can’t build an arch. He’s building an arch. He can’t promote his crypto business.. he doesn’t give a fuck what’s legal. He will seise votes from key precincts and void the midterms.

I have no idea what to make of the polling, especially after that one firm admitted to putting out fake polls as an “experiment”.

Exactly. This is such a lie. Email had a purpose. The internet had a purpose. Search had a purpose. Everybody loved Silicon Valley in the 90s because they made shit that did what it promised. Now 3 guys who never made SHIT have ALL the money in SV. They're scam artists. Not engineers.

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

Also, it’s not the UN’s responsibility to save us from our own dictator. Most member countries are making plans to ice out the USA entirely instead and form partnerships with China, India, Russia instead. They’re cutting the US out entirely rather than make speeches. Actions >words.

And then he would block anyone from using the building for anything since it’s in the US. The UN is essentially a powerless organization. Everyone is free to ignore anything it says or does (which the 5 members of the security council w veto power do routinely).

No, it does not. iNTERPOL facilitates sharing of information. It is not a police force and does not have the power to make arrests anywhere. Google it.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

JudgeLuttig seemed to feel in his piece that they will ignore any court order and at that point we are in a Constitutional crisis.(Not that he’s psychic and can see the future but a conservative Reagan judge saying this as opposed to social media fear mongering for clicks does give me pause.

Sam, why do you think they won’t try it? (I’m not being snarky I’m curious why you don’t think they’ll do this because they’ve done just about everything else — but I’m willing to grasp any straw of hope you can provide).

Well it would be Thune who refuses to seat the Senate. Johnson would only have control over the House. I really can’t get a read on how shitty Thune is. He stood up to DJT on the SAVE Act but he was also Mitch McConnell’s Protege so I don’t know what he might do.🤷‍♀️

That doesn’t solve the problem of defying court orders to refuse to seat the new Congress. Americans think the courts and No Kings marches solve everything. They won’t solve this.
