Mathematicians who studied whether GPT-5 could create original mathematics say “The danger is not only loss of originality, but also weakening the very process of being a mathematician.” Inspired by the viral open problem in convex optimization solved a few weeks ago.

What's the problem with young people? Don't they realize the importance of knowing that a compact, connected, orientable, irreducible, atoroidal 3-orbifold with non-empty singular locus carries a geometric structure?

fun story behind how Geoff Hinton got the idea for dropout regularization: > he used to go to his bank > observed that the tellers kept changing > one teller explained they got rotated a lot > Hinton realized this made it harder for employees to collude and defraud the bank…

This is really exciting and impressive, and this stuff is in my area of mathematics research (convex optimization). I have a nuanced take. 🧵 (1/9)

GPT-5 is here, but it can't even make a nice .tex CV template yet! Makes me wonder how well LLMs perform on design-related tasks (probably not very well?)

I'm looking for nice, minimal academic CV templates—not too fancy, but also not an ugly .docx file. Let me know if you’re willing to share one or point me to a public resource!

New fastest shortest-path algorithm in 41 years! Tsinghua researchers broke Dijkstra’s 1984 “sorting barrier,” achieving O(m log^(2/3) n) time. This means faster route planning, less traffic, cheaper deliveries, and more efficient networks - and a CS curriculum revamp =)
