I'm with you on this. We have Claude at work and I get exhausted from using it just a bit. I've recently seen it say "let me verify the most load-bearing claims". I couldn't imagine anyone using "load-bearing&q

There's a difference between "branch of mathematics" and "can be modeled using mathematics".

It's like if on any website you went to you saw a lot of posts written by the same guy over and over again. Even if he used different names, you'd start to recognize him eventually because of his style. Seeing as he doesn't s

I agree that it feels off and I wonder what I would have thought if I'd seen the "after" example without knowing it's AI output put through a humanizer. Would I think much about the weird use of the word "honest&quo

Yeah I feel like this "done right" part is responsible for most of the popularity of this book. Makes the reader think they've been learning it wrong. Kind of like these clickbait videos "you've been folding your la

That's probably just Claude. I do enjoy finding new ways to call out the patterns it uses though.

The background is that a counterexample to a famous mathematical conjecture was recently posted on X by an Anthropic employee. The counterexample, in form of a polynomial, is easy to validate by doing simple calculations, but it's not

I get where you're coming from but linear algebra is one of the most applied branches of mathematics out there. It's easy to visualize and easy to teach the computational side of it so it makes sense that some books focus more on

Have you opened the book? There are both theorems and proofs there.

Holy crap this Claude writing is actually impossible to read, it's like they specifically asked it to slop it up x10. The patterns are in every single sentence, every explanation of what the hell you're supposed to do is littered

I mentioned Langlands because it's one of the cool things related to Diophantine equations that the article mentions but I wouldn't expect it to be covered there. The connection between the Euclidean algorithm and unique prime fac

The article doesn't really tell us much about the "why" unfortunately. Diophantine equations are introduced but all the interesting stuff is promised in future articles which haven't come yet. All the reader can take fro

Then the journalist wonders why they don't mention Jony Ive who left Apple 7 years ago whose company was acquired by OpenAI. I guess they don't mention him because they don't have proof he tried to steal anything, as opposed

I'd say we're already well past that point. Short-form "content" already exists and is messing with people's brains, this is the same thing just taken a few steps further. By the time the tech companies start using

This list was made by some guy on twitter. https://x.com/keshavchan/status/1787861946173186062 It's unknown whether it has anything to do with Ilya Sutskever.

The formatting of the articles on this website is bad. I've opened the first one and all the LaTeX formulas are messed up. The subscripts and superscripts are all flattened rendering the math hard to comprehend. Did the author actually

One gets bored exactly because it's transformative. I don't think most people have the capacity to adapt to "transformative technologies" every 10 years, especially when they change society irreversibly. It's not na

My first thought was "well of course it is, since pi is a little larger than 3" but it was cool to see an actual derivation of how much pi squared differs from 10 as a nice, closed form series.

I'd say integrals or differentials are not as important on their own as the kinds of differential equations that come up in physics. Integrals and differentials don't produce hyperoperations from non-hyperoperations, but a solutio

The author has written two blog posts about their game (the latter is more about APL than the game itself though). You may find these interesting https://homewithinnowhere.com/posts/2026-03-06-voxel-game.ht... https:&

Tractatus - highly aware of its limitations and refuses to speak about too many topics. Really likes numbering statements. Unusable due to a context window bug which is patched after considerable delay.

I really loved that article. Creating games always seemed so daunting to me since I don't know a lot about how it's done, there are so many different processes involved. The solutions described here are so satisfyingly compact and

Well can't you at least appreciate how it's all in this cool and down-to-earth lowercase? Clearly there was a stylistic effort.

The way the author thanks the person from AWS who helped him with a human approach is an AI generated article blaming AWS for using AI. Brilliant.

Remember sharing simple thoughts between each other? Now you can do the same thing but with two AIs in between, one that produces words out of an idea and one that collapses them back. This is the way of the future.

Agreed, I can't read articles anymore with that Claudish stench of confidence, impactful sentences and dramatic negative parallelism. At some point you just start to skim it and reverse engineer the simple original prompt which is &quo

To be honest I don't know anything about marketing or publishing books, but I couldn't imagine promoting anything on tiktok either. Thanks for the response. Best of luck with your book.
