we should teach elementary schoolers the word "modulo" so they sound like adults
Ignoring the crazy math for a second, it's wild how we were taught in school about "remainders" as if that's a word adults ever actually use when performing division. It sounds so technical and real but the literal only situation you use it is if you're a 5th grader.

The most popular shark fishing influencer in the world has been arrested in Massachusetts on poaching charges.

Prosecutors allege “lisharkman” used illegal gear, including a drone, to target a huge male white shark named “AAron” on Cape Cod, using his tracked location.

Kind of wild to see some of the top people in your discipline *go on record* to say things like "people in my field are dumb and just now realizing it and they're upset about it"

Better to know sooner vs later that they hold their colleagues in such callous contempt, I guess...

Don't be fooled by the hype. This is THREE THOUSAND PAGES of turgid, lugubrious prose of unpleasant, unattractive, clinically depressed rich people ineptly manipulating each another.

Setting aside the offensively stupid premise, there is something about the spirit of this plot — clinging to the monsterization of profoundly intelligent, social creatures that we feared for centuries and massacred in wanton ignorance — that is uniquely corrosive and hateworthy.
First look at a dude getting eaten by a whale in ‘WHALEFALL’.

The film follows a scuba diver who must escape a sperm whale's tummy before his oxygen runs out.

Atheists love to talk about how Santa isn't real, but they don't actually know anything about Santa 😂 We don't literally believe Santa flies to every house on Christmas Eve, that's a metaphor. He uses magic

If you see someone on here using a word that ends with -oid, you can safely disregard whatever they're saying. For instance, "A monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors"

listening to strogatz on a ny pod about ai in math (someone sent it to me, i swear), and so far: we are fucked

1) dudes talking about how solving problems is *truly* sexually gratifying for him

2) gets weirdly emotionally choked including up over the picture of erdos/tao??

Mathematical logic will be less threatened by AI than other fields of mathematics.

Other mathematicians have already eliminated most of the jobs for logicians.

sorry man but ai has already taken over your field of “writing the same article over and over again” and “running the worlds dullest podcast” - you’re just as cucked as mathematicians are here!

“Lemma 7.4, again, is not something you'd expect to see in a paper like this” ok Asaf’s warning did not prepare me for how trivial this was.

It’s the converse of “if P(A)\{{}} has a choice function, then A is well-orderable” 😬😬😬

Yesterday, an ICE agent opened fire in Marble Hill. They shot a member of our community in the neck while he was in his car. His five-year-old kid was in a child seat in the back of the car when ICE agents fired at least 7 rounds into it. This was in the middle of the afternoon, with children walking home from school and people heading home from work. Federal agents put every one of them in danger.

When I was in Marble Hill last night I saw NYPD officers rapidly escalating violence. As I was trying to de-escalate, I was shoved to the ground by an officer. I witnessed unmarked law enforcement cars hitting protestors as NYPD officers pushed people out of its path. And instead of condemning ICE’s violence, Police Commissioner Tisch attempted to justify the shooting by reading off our neighbor’s past interactions with police.

The NYPD spent more time protecting a militia that just shot someone than protecting New Yorkers. Last night, the NYPD and Commissioner Tisch violated the spirit, if not the letter, of our sanctuary city policies and fueled the Trump Administration’s attempt to demonize our communities. The NYPD’s Strategic Response Group must be disbanded as quickly as possible, and Commissioner Tisch must step down.

In this district, there are mothers who are afraid to send their kids to school, workers who are afraid to show up for their shifts, and people who won’t call for help anymore because they can’t be sure who will come. That’s what it means to have a violent militia operating in your community. You don’t feel safe walking down your own street. 

For decades, we’ve been told ICE can be fixed with more oversight, better training, or reform. But you can’t reform an agency whose purpose is to terrorize immigrant families. You can’t train cruelty out of a system built to enact cruelty. ICE must be abolished.

This moment demands that everyone step up. Elected officials at every level need to stop hedging and say it plainly: Abolish ICE now. Our city must enforce every sanctuary protection we have and city officials must ensure this cannot happen again.

Jessica Tisch needs to go - she has been and remains an enemy to entire communities, under whom the NYPD has transformed into an even more deeply fascistic force meant to repress anti-reactionary New Yorkers. Keeping her on was the Mayor’s greatest mistake and greatest betrayal to large swathes of the movement that shouldered him & victory.

This horrific incident and the footage from tonight, man…
Rozario’s mother addressed the mayor directly: “You came to my home and said you would be a different kind of mayor. We feel betrayed by you. Jessica Tisch ... let Alongi retire without a trial. It seems like you are just letting this happen.” thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/08/tis…
