Fascinating article about Navier-Stokes solution and what mathematicians have learned … “so far humanity has learned very little from the solution. Although they believe the proof to be technically correct, the dense, 166-page manuscript drafted by AI is proving to be a difficult read. "So far it's been very difficult to really extract any human understanding from this new AI proof," said James Maynard, a mathematician at the University of Oxford. The paper is not written for humans," said Javier Gómez-Serrano, a mathematician at Brown University who uses AI in his own research. He said he believes the proof could help advance the field after "some serious re-writing," but "as of today, the paper doesn't teach us much."”

The latest PISA scores are showing up quite extraordinary differences between countries. This from @jburnmurdoch highlights that the U.K. is bucking the trend, but solely due to England whereas the devolved nations are performing much more poorly.
