@b_n_d_l_e no i think you're right about weil, that stood out to me as well
English
“Might be a somewhat difficult colleague” on Weil is a truth nvke; it is interesting to see the comparison to Seigel, who I think is now a tier below Weil in public memory (though that might be my algebraic geometry bias)

The ultimate faculty recruitment list: Hermann Weyl recommending physicists and mathematicians for the IAS in 1945. The competition is so stiff that Eugene Wigner and Hans Bethe are considered second-tier.

New report finds that nearly 3,000 civilians have been killed and over 200,000 residents displaced since the ceasefire between the Kachin Independence Army and the military broke in 2011. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Leftists are now running against Democrats for the seats they currently hold on the basis of I hate Israel more than them.

It was a glorious morning for a picnic in Prospect Park with NY-10 neighbors! These families first met because they were outraged by Israel’s destruction of Gaza — and by Dan Goldman’s refusal to do anything to stop it. All our kids deserve to grow up safe & free.

In a way I feel vindicated that I wasnt good enough to continue to grad school in mathematics, because it seems the whole discipline is getting automated

Wow, the sum-product conjecture is also false over \R, via a construction analogous to that of Balog-Wooley in the setting of the below line of ideas, i.e. non-asymptotic-but-good-enough point counting results from the geometry of numbers that kick in over class field towers because the discriminants and regulators are then only exponential in the degree Two crazy-famous conjectures down. Everybody go try your constructions out in these fields! Congrats to Thomas, Will, Carl, and Dmitrii:D arxiv.org/abs/2605.28781

@mathandcobb Pet peeve is how ANT can be either Algebraic Number Theory or (what it actually is) Analytic Number Theory
English
The proof is really nice but note that Erdős in proving bounds for this problem was already using algebraic number theory (namely properties of the lattice Z[i]). See Will Sawin's comments on this in the write up. The initial discussion also says using ANT isn't altogether new.
Dazzle@00Dazzle
My god the new proof is an extremely clever application of algebraic number theory to a problem that at first doesn’t have anything to do with it. The AI generated version of the paper is also unusually readable

@choffstein @bennpeifert Because he blocked everyone who even politely disagreed with some of his odious politics and he was arrogant. Running your mouth and being thin skinned and then blowing up is a bad combo.

I don't understand the grave dancing on QVR's downfall.
It's tough to build any business and sad to watch a few bad months sink 5+ years of hard work.
I hope everyone there lands on their feet.
I really don't get the pile-on against @bennpeifert personally. He's contributed tons of education to the discourse on options/volatility on this hellsite. You can dislike his politics/personal choices without cheering his downfall.

@finn_hulse this one i conditioned on the wrong thing so I had to do it in a gross way using Beta distributions

the only putnam problem i've ever sniped was this A4 on an otherwise dismal exam
it was the culmination of everything i've ever loved doing
