Do we know whether she was also posting the questions? Seems perhaps a bit too convenient that people just happened to ask about some rather contrived integrals that just happened to have neat and tidy solutions that one poster knew the answer to.

i enjoyed this thread about zero:
This meme is very very funny, but it is also inviting a serious explainer 🧵 from yours truly about 0 in Sinitic languages (there'll also be something funny later on). 😂 Let's go! 1/ https://t.co/I3vEGnNS7Z— Egas Moniz-Bandeira ᠡᡤᠠᠰ ᠮᠣᠨᠢᠰ ᠪᠠᠨᡩ᠋ᠠᠶᠢᠷᠠ (@egasmb) May 21, 2023

The Unabomber has died. Here is a famously good footnote to him in a mathematics paper.

i love Greg Egan's short stories. he is better versed in math than more recognized literary writers like Borges, Calvino, et al

thought this bump would be about terry tao's formalized proof of the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture using Lean4 proof checking language

(this post was written while it was still ongoing but they finished it the other day)
super interesting stuff. i don't think s clover still posts but would be interested to hear his thoughts on the significance of this. seems like it was cute niche a few years ago but is now catching on

I watched that coin rotation video the other day, pretty cool - especially solar vs sidereal year.
