I like the author’s viewpoint, but I would have appreciated mentioning that: 1. Truth does not always rely on Boolean logic. Both A and non A can be true at the same time 2. Truth is often relative, so it may change depending on the viewpoi

There is no doubt that juniors have much more difficulty starting their careers in tech nowadays. This might be naive, but isn’t this purely a demographic/saturation effect?

I’ve always been skeptical about the role of LLMs in mathematics, but this is the first time I’ve seen this argument, and I actually find it very compelling. Maybe LLMs will help us develop more horizontal understanding of the field.

Growing bonsai is still on my hobby wishlist, but I haven’t been able to provide the stability it requires due to work : even keeping regular plants alive for a few years was impossible. Has anyone here started from scratch? I would appreci

In my work in academia (which I’m considering leaving), I’m very familiar with the common mathematical objects you mentioned. Where could I look for a job similar to yours? It sounds very interesting

To me, every profession—from software engineering to farming—has its complexities, yet most professionals can explain what they do in clear terms. When academics say they can’t offer a basic explanation, it often feels like an attempt to pr

This is very nice! But I don’t quite get how 70% is considered good performance — I managed to outperform that by literally doing nothing: Game Complete! Accuracy: 78.6% Correct Responses: 11 / 14 Average Reaction Time: 0 ms

Thanks! I'm definitely planning to refresh my Python skills by building a small portfolio. I’ve also been considering learning the basics of Rust, but I think I should settle on a clear direction first.

I intentionally left "transitioning to industry" vague, but yes—most paths would likely involve some coding. I'm actually working on path integrals, to which Feynman contributed significantly, but I hadn't heard about th
