I hate this disgusting warm weather so much

For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind

I finally watched Blue Velvet last night. What a film. Perhaps it's recency bias, but I think it's my favourite Lynch so far....

Every time I open Milnor’s characteristic classes book I have to hold back tears of joy

Lovely

A morning spent meditating on the functorial properties of the homotopy cokernel is a morning well spent

My enthusiasm for reading a math paper increases tenfold when I see something like this

Is the best way to learn GAGA just reading Serre's original stuff? Do I need to recall my Grade 10 French?

I really love math, and I hope I can contribute to it as a human being

In addition to being a great mathematician, John is a really nice guy. I emailed him while I was in high school, and he was kind enough to have a video call with me, during which I probably asked him some very stupid questions!

This appears to be an amazing result, and the authors should be commended, but the introduction reads as a tragedy. I don't think math can sustainably perpetuate or grow if this becomes the norm (people forced to use LLMs to construct ad-hoc proofs out of fear of being too slow)

The story of humanity is not that of some idiotic sci-fi novel. The most reckless of the AI boosters' opinions are rapidly tending towards Heaven's Gate territory.
