A Severe Misalignment of AI in Mathematics

there used to be a strong correlation between seeing neat things online, and the person who made it: 1. is very knowledgeable and passionate about it 2. put love and care into it 3. is getting recognition for it but that trust is now gone, the grifters skipped to step 3, the slop ghouls have won

this wave of AI has legitimately killed a huge part of what I loved about seeing stuff online, what I loved about being an educator, and what I loved about sharing my own work I just don't feel like doing it anymore

What's making me really sad in the age of AI is that it completely removed this sense of wonder and awe from people's side projects for me. I really miss the "Holy shit, someone's brain actually did that" feeling I used to get. Like, now I see some really impressive projects and just go "eh".

fixed your headline

A hit song on the Billboard 100 charts is termed *$k$-good* if it is _ever_ in a weekly top-$k$, and *$k$-immediate* if it _debuts_ in the top-$k$.

An artist is *$(n,k)$-Olivian* if their $n$ first $k$-good hits are all also $k$-immediate.

*Headline 1.* Olivia Rodrigo is the first $(10,10)$-Olivian woman.

I've made a Kubernetes that runs in the browser, and today we're open sourcing it. The hope here is to make super interactive and visual web content about Kubernetes much easier to write, and we have a whole bunch planned this year. Repo: github.com/ngrok/webern... Demo: webernetes-demo.ngrok.app

I'm mentoring a lot of junior devs at my current job. By far the most common design advice I give them is to separate the thing that produces a value from the thing(s) that consumes the value. It's incredible how often that ends up massively simplifying the problem space.

After reading a lot of mathematical proofs, I've come to the conclusion that every mathematician really wanted to be an English (or in my case, German) professor. Also, the subjunctive is now my best friend.

I spent 2 months learning about quantization and am extremely proud of the post I've written about it. I think these are some of the nicest visuals I've ever made, and I love how this compression technique invented in 1898 is being used on the bleeding edge in 2026. ngrok.com/blog/quantiz...

Even working through only the first few problem sets, I realized how much I love (and missed) chewing through difficult problems. There's something so satisfying about really having to think hard about a problem

My biggest personal annoyance with AI is how no one seems to be building interesting things anymore that aren't AI-related. There's really only a handful of accounts left that I follow which feel like the pre-AI hacker space I used to love.

If you would've told my 16 y/o self that at 35 I would get up at 4am so I can get in 2 hours of math studying before I head to work (and genuinely looking forward to that), I would've told you to lay off the cocaine for a bit.

Working through math textbooks is something else. I've been reading this book for ~3 weeks now and I'm on page ... *checks notes* ... 15 (of ~400) and have written about as many pages of notes myself. Weirdly, I'm actually really enjoying the process of having to go this slow.

"save systems should dynamically handle object IDs and automatically populate the serialized data of every object that requires save states, and then for dialogue progression it needs to-" team cherry: WRONG. 1400 hardcoded fields in PlayerData.cs

CS/math/science books but they're just the cover with a block of styrofoam in the middle. You know, like at IKEA. That way, you can seem super educated to your friends and on Zoom calls. It's not like you were gonna read them anyway.
