Great news! While Trump is busy dismantling the Library of Congress, the German National Library of Science and Technology (@tibhannover) is preparing for more to come: they've downloaded the entire 10 TB of the arXiv preprint server and safeguarded more than 2.6 million scientific articles. Thank you so much! This was especially needed since, last year, the arXiv decided to shut down its mirror network.

Born poor in colonial India and dead at 32, Ramanujan had fantastical, out-of-nowhere visions that continue to shape the field today.Quanta Magazine
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.

9yo: Which of us is your favorite?
Me: I love you both infinitely.
13yo: I call the infinity of the reals!
9yo: …what?
*fifteen minutes later*
Me: So how many integers are there between 1 and 10? …and how many reals between 0 and 1?
9yo: Can we not talk about this anymore? It’s getting weird.
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
I'm absurdly excited to learn that 2024 = 2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³.
...and it's because:
2025 = 45², and
45=1+2+⋯+9, and
(1+⋯+𝑛)²=1³+⋯+𝑛³ !

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.

Just saw this on the X site... hard to believe people like this exist, but now apparently simple arithmetic is subject to opinion...
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.

Thinking About Grad School & Math (Help Wanted)
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.Frederick Morlock

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.
