Britta Späth has dedicated her career to proving a single, central conjecture. She’s finally succeeded, alongside her partner, Marc Cabanes. Leila Sloman reports: www.quantamagazine.org/after-20-yea...

Recently found a band named Cleopatrick and I like 'em, but they're categorized as "laptop rock" and I don't know if I like that.

Tell me you're born & raised in Midwest w/o telling me you're born & raised in the Midwest. #PDXST

How do you know a tree when you see it? 🧵1/8

Without setting out to do so, Andrew Krapivin recently upended the common thinking around hash tables — one of the best-studied tools in computer science. Steve Nadis reports: www.quantamagazine.org/undergraduat...

What can’t we know? This question haunts all corners of math. Now, two independent proofs of a broader version of Hilbert’s famous 10th problem have expanded the bounds of mathematical unknowability. Joseph Howlett reports: www.quantamagazine.org/new-proofs-p...

IDLES and Fontaines D.C. got robbed. Old white guys win again!

Gotta love how quickly you can get computer parts from Amazon. I got 16GB RAM for a neighbor's laptop & then found out he needs to replace his battery too. That'll be here by 11am tomorrow (could have been 8am).

This is the Weierstrauss function, a “monster” that is continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere. First published in 1872, it prompted scrutiny of assumptions in calculus. Similar functions are used to study random motion and analyze risk. www.quantamagazine.org/the-jagged-m...

Researchers are finding that the architecture of LLMs has inherent limitations. But this is not the end of chatbots. @anilananth.bsky.social reports: www.quantamagazine.org/chatbot-soft...

Me: how might you store different types in the same column? LLM: you can use a type specific to your database called FLEXTYPE Me: *searches documentation* there is no FLEXTYPE LLM: LOL u right my bad! 😵‍💫

Well, that was an interesting venue for an article by a pissed-off sysadmin. Google put its #AI assistant #Gemini in Slate's workspace with no way to disable it. The author already expressed my opinion--at this point, Pissed Off Sysadmin is pretty much my full legal name. slate.com/technology/2...

I hate how politics has been leaking into my feed here. I know everything sucks but I don't want to see it all the damn time. Might need to head back to a more-constrained Mastodon.

@jdx.dev the ubi backend... 😙👌

I just launched my project Soleil as open source hardware 🎉 Homepage: protolux.io/soleil GitHub: github.com/protolux-electronics/soleil_hardware Docs: hexdocs.pm/soleil

New job opening in my team! Not specifically Elixir, but I’d love to see people in that Elixir/ML overlap. Another project in this team is Elixir (LiveView web app and full system in Elixir) #Elixir jobs.apple.com/en-us/detail...

Gotta admin, they NAILED the name

I'm the "Jesse" in this episode 😭 2.5admins.com/2-5-admins-2...

@joeress.bsky.social I just heard of the Radxa X4 and I wonder if it's the N100-in-Pi-size you've been looking for? www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/ra...
