It's not that the writing style is bad; in fact LLMs write actually pretty well. It's just too much overfitted. And even a style that, in itself, is pleasurable to read, becomes annoying when the same figures of speech are used over and over again.

For one thing you can use VC money to pay for ads

In fact, this is an opportunity to anticipate what is going to be written. I studied maths, so I am not sure how it would work for other fields of study. But one thing that worked very well for me was to write everything, spoken or written, before it was said, or to try to stay 10 seconds ahead of the lecture. This would keep my attention and it would require an active comprehension, like continuously doing exercises. I was then able to recall what was said much better. And I could take advantage of the pauses to get a little ahead so I would not get lost in the next difficult passage. Of course, this only works in fields where there is a strong logical connection between the various parts of the lecture, so that you can indeed try to figure out yourself, it would not work where there is a lot of memorization

Yes, it must be more than 17k and less than 18k

Grothendieck did not have a comprehensive view of mathematics, nor he ever claimed to. There are vast swathes of mathematics (e.g. PDE or probability) that never fell under Grothendieck's radar

Computational mathematics may have adopted conventions from computer science, but I assure you that the alphabetical order convention is definitely the standard in most pure mathematics (with some exceptions, such as the Ascoli-Arzelà theorem)

I'd be curious to try it but I don't understand from the site whether it is mobile only. It claims that there is a utility to sync with desktop but then it doesn't run on desktop?

I suggest Mylio: it ticks all the things you required, except possibly of `multiple files as part of the same "image"`.

It will store everything locally, keep your folder structure, every metadata is inside a sidecar XML, allows for various notions of "date" and more.

I mean, isn't it trivial? For instance, you can make any Euler characteristic you want by making a cell complex with a 1-cells and b 2-cells and then the Euler characteristic will be 1 + b - a. Am I missing something? If this is the problem and this is how the model looks for a solution, yes, it is overcomplicating things.

I am Italian and at my previous work at a bank, I had a two month notice (originally one, but increased with seniority). As far as I know, it is pretty common in Italy, and employers know that when they hire someone, the person will only join one to three months later due to this - or sometimes they offer to pay the penalty

I was going to write the same thing. I checked the first three problems and all solutions are partial at best. Now, don't get me wrong, this is still impressive. But putting the problems there with the implication that qwen solves them correctly when it doesn't does not really inspire trust

I am not aware of any result of Hardy with applications to cryptography, but I'd be curious to be found wrong

How complex is it to configure? I have an instance of NextCloud from Hetzner, but I would rather not misconfigure it.

Also, is there a mobile app? Most of the time when I look at pictures I am on the phone

How complex is it to configure memories? I own a hosted instance of NextCloud from Hetzner, but I would rather not misconfigure it. Also, is there a mobile app? I think not having one is limiting, since most of the time I want to look at the pictures on the phone

I don't know, coffee here costs 1€ everywhere

For what is worth, I do appreciate their links, and their resources are pretty informative (I am not by any means affiliated with Pinecone)

I am making a series of books on commutative algebra. The first one is available at https://www.ams.org/open-math-notes/omn-view-listing?listing...

There is a sequel on homological methods, which is not online, and I am currently trying to publish both. When I have time, I would like to write a third volume on homotopical methods (essentially all the stuff needed for André-Quillen cohomology and the cotangent complex).

Good luck learning everything that humanity knows about physics in six years! :-) Luckily, you don't really need to do that before starting research

Wow, what a great invention I have been missing! You made my day! :-)

who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!

Well, interpretation is pretty useful for a REPL. And a REPL is not just useful to avoid compilation, but also as a way to explore a new API. And, most importantly, to preserve the results of long computations when you do not know yet what to do with it. If computing a value takes half an hour, you certainly don't want to recompute it each time you change something. Rather, you keep an open session, such as a REPL or a notebook, and keep computing with the already existing value

Thank you, the flowcharts are really cool! :-D

Am I the only one who likes what King Crimson did until the 70s, and does not understand the direction they went with Discipline? I have tried listening to it and later albums, but I never got it. Anyone here can help me better appreciate King Crimson's music from the 80s on?

Is the option to buy prints still there? Some services offer the possibility to buy prints on canvas tied on a wooden frame, possibly manually retouched, which look much like an actual picture you can hang in your living room

How sad to think of a post industrial division of labour for mathematicians.

A book on commutative algebra https://github.com/andreaferretti/commutative-algebra/ Currently, I am writing the second volume.

It's not that I don't care about the outcome. I really hope it will be useful to many students, and I mean to publish it. But I am writing it primarily for me, as a way to keep being involved in mathematics even if I am not doing actual math research anymore

Lindy hopper from Italy! We keep following some Zoom lessons, although it's not like the real thing, but at least we spend some time dancing! :-)

Actually, the Suzie Q is a step in lindy hop, so probably the character takes the name from that.

Why not? It's a stereotype for pure mathematicians to like what they do because it's not applied, even though - like all stereoptypes - it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

The thing is, once something is applied, it has to deal with all the complexity and uglyness of the real world. But if you stick to abstract ideas, you are only limited by your imagination and logic. The mundane aspects of an applied field can detract from the pure beauty of an abstract subject.

I am not saying that this is always true, and sometimes it is nice to see applications of some abstract concepts. But many people intentionally shy away from applications towards a more theoretical field.

Yes, for some details look at http://fermatslasttheorem.blogspot.com/2006/01/lams-proposed... or https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/953462/what-was-lam...

Yes, Lamé solution, which assumes unique factorization in the rings of integers of cyclotomic fields, and can in fact be salvaged to prove the case of regular primes
