We are visiting eastern Utah for the long weekend. This is the Great Hunt, a petroglyph located in Nine Mile Canyon. It is believed to have been created by the Fremont people (ca 950-1200 CE). The depicted animals are bighorn sheep, probably during the fall mating season.

blue sky gave me a severe warning when I said that Benjamin Netanyahu and Isaac Herzog needed to hang at The Hague for their war crimes (which they don’t even deny committing!) and I just want to reiterate that I am correct, both morally and legally.

Just found a very cool recent OEIS sequence A377756 by Dave Budd that counts the number of polyhexes where no three hexagon centers are on the same line. It turns out that the sequence is finite and A377756(23) = 2. See the code, generalizations, etc, on Dave's Github.

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context* Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when An LLM just generates text

A Collatz-like function f(n) that bifurcates on the primes, I posed a decade ago. It remains unknown if it always falls into a 2/4 cycle. For n=229, f(n) shoots off to 10^{376} before returning to that cycle after 6309 iterations. mathoverflow.net/questions/20... #MathSky
