Has been a while since I wrote about agentic engineering, so this time around some learnings of maintaining Pi as a junior maintainer to @badlogicgames :) lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/5/24/pi-o…




Assuming models have complete advantage over human mathematicians in all areas of math (IMO not guaranteed in 15 years, but likely enough), this seems to be a question about the shape of society. Arguably the answer is not at all special to math--presumably the answer is basically the same for all knowledge work (and maybe all professions?). I think in this world the most likely background situation is that humans are not really useful for proving theorems, but nonetheless lots of basic and understandable questions remain open, including many that are open today (since I think these have basically unbounded difficulty). And lots of other questions of basic interest have been resolved. So human activities might include (1) trying to understand solutions, (2) trying to understand progress and obstructions to resolving open questions, (3) (non-rigorously) understanding mathematical phenomena. In all these activities, the purpose of the human is to serve as a locus of understanding. There's an obvious question as to why we would pay someone to do this. One plausible answer is that maybe we want to avoid complete disempowerment--at a minimum we might want people to understand what they can about what the AIs are doing--which requires development of human capital.

📚 I have just started reading the book "The Rising Sea" by Ravi Vakil. 🗺️ It will take me a long time to read and work through this book. For fun, I'm going to document the journey here on my X account. ✅ Preface 🚧 Chapter 1: Just Enough Category Theory to Be Dangerous 🚏Section 1.1: Categories and Functors 🧗♂️: Done with page 3.

AZZI FUDD IS HOOPIN' 🔥 Her 17 PTS in Q3 are tied for the 2nd-most points scored in any quarter by a rookie in WNBA history!



I originally learned it from a data compression textbook in college. From ML connection pov, the David MacKay book is well renowned (freely available) There is also a small focused book just on information theory from James Stone. Managing gigabytes also covers it but very much an applicattion book in compression related areas. I think there are many other books/tutorials published on arxiv.



It's Friday! What are you reading this weekend?
