I've switched to lurking here for a while due to the effects the current political situation in the US is having on me. I am making some big changes to how I do things, including how I livestream and host various products of my math research. I'll be posting about the steps I take as I take them.
I have switched from #Firefox to #Librewolf on my desktops. This was pretty easy since I have been storing my bookmarks as a plain text file on my desktop for a while now. Very portable. I just wish #VideoDownloadHelper worked on Librewolf.
I am looking into #XMPP now and trying to find a server to sign up for. Does anyone know any with open registration?
I have also recently gotten into #IRC again, and am excited to get more familiar with the #Pidgin client on desktop.

Independent test of #OpenAI’s o1-preview model achieved near-perfect performance on a national #math exam (landing in the top .1% of the nation’s students).
o1 also outperformed 4o on the math test, but took about 3 times longer to do so (10 minutes vs. 3 minutes).
Van Aubel's theorem states that if you start with a convex quadrilateral and construct a square on each side, externally to the quadrilateral, then the line segments connecting the centers of opposite squares will be equal in length and perpendicular to each other.

Holy crap. Someone won the Texas Lotto -- to the tune of $95 million -- by buying every combination of number available. They apparently invested approximately $25.8M to accomplish that. (Paywall busted below) archive.is/etkX9
Pythagorean Theorem Found On Clay Tablet 1,000 Years Older Than Pythagoras
"The conclusion is inescapable. The Babylonians knew the relation between the length of the diagonal of a square and its side: d=square root of 2," mathematician Bruce Ratner writes in a paper on the topic.
I made a post on my (rarely used) blog thinking about my pursuit of higher mathematics and about how/where to apply for grad schools. I would love some advice from those who have pursued their love for Mathematics and it's application in other fields in grad school! I have some concerns and I feel very stuck.
I have been wanting to apply for grad school for a long time, but as the mathematically obsessed person I am feels frozen trying to find direction and suitable programs to apply to.

My drawings of a few types of infinite series from 2019… The top left includes the Devil’s Staircase function, a continuous function that is constant almost everywhere. The top right is inspired by #Escher; the bottom left includes a Sierpinski triangle, and the fourth is inspired by Diego Uribe’s book “Fractal Cuts.” Each #doodle is about 3.5” by 5.5” with ink and colored pencil on paper. The dots sparkle in mica paint. #fractal #math #MathArt #ColoredPencil #doodle #microbes #ScienceArt #art

Learning a lot about geometric dissections lately and found this Pythagorean method for turning two squares into one square really beautiful! Source: math.ucla.edu/~marks/talks/cir… #math #geometry
I'm a software developer in the AEC industry, typically working to automate engineering workflows in CAD software (revit etc.). I studied Mathematics, so naturally I love functional programming (and luckily get to use F# for most of my work!).
In my free time I enjoy walking, photography, custom keyboards, and any other hobbies my ADHD brain latches onto.

originally went through #music school up through #dma (lol i'd be surprised if that hashtag actually worked and referred to doctor of musical arts) studying #percussion with aspirations of being a "new music" percussionist but didn't stick the landing in music academia. i got a #math degree somewhere along the way and had been getting heavily into #computermusic and #creativecoding sorts of things working at a media lab during the dma so when covid, hit decided to go back to (online) grad school studying computer science. things i'm really into studying cs-wise are #ai/#ml things (more leaning on the ai-side but we'll see) and "soft-cs"/"extra-cs" sorta intersectional things like #hci and #education and starting to read about #computationalcreativity and other things. not sure where my cs studies will go yet but it'd be nice be able to research ai things more. also, i'm really into #foss / #linux sorta things.
other things i'm into are anime and manga (mostly iyashikei, mecha, and ikuhara things), video games, riichi mahjong, animals (mostly cats, sea otters and puffins), stars are cool, and also vast desolate expanses.
