Classics students have no idea how good they have it. Even if you don’t like Emily Wilson’s translation, at least she is clearly a highly-educated scholar of Ancient Greek.
Our *most popular* Beowulf translation is by Seamus Heaney, who could barely read Old English

nice math problem i came up with last december...
Consider a cube of side length 2, aligned with the coordinate axes. Place three cylinders inside it, each of height 2 and radius R, each aligned with some coordinate axis. The cylinders may not intersect. What is the maximal R?

If we assume the Odyssey was not the work of one person, but rather an oral tradition that would change the story across tellings (which I think is a widely held view in classics?), then should we obsess over the specific choices of a translator?

@psychiel So how about F_3 becomes diagonal, then we proceed by middle-thirds until √2

It's still baffling to me that you can make a length 2 zig-zag look arbitrarily close to a length sqrt(2) line without changing its own length at all
I know we can say "arc length isn't continuous wrt pointwise convergence", but that only renames the fact, it doesn't debaffle it

@psychiel It's been a while since I've seen a good post on this site. Thank you

Did you know the word “syllabus” is complete nonsense?
Cicero mentions a “σιττύβας” (table of contents) in his letters to Atticus, but in one manuscript this was mispelled as <syllabos>, and readers assumed it was a rare word “syllabus”.
It’s a hallucination worthy of AI!

Another example: an image-action world model of the “mountain car”.
Position turns out to be represented by a spaghetti-like path in activations. While steering along the manifold moves the car neatly (left), linear steering smears and teleports it incoherently (middle). (6/8)

@GoodfireAI Thank you for looking deeply into the model.

Neural networks do math by rotating shapes.
We found a shape-rotating calculator hidden inside an LLM – and it’s used for more than just math! (1/6)
Goodfire@GoodfireAI
Neural networks might speak English, but they think in shapes. Understanding their rich *neural geometry* is key to understanding how they work – and to debugging and controlling them with precision. Starting today, we’re releasing a series of posts on this research agenda. 🧵

Same with discussions that quickly move into work is hard why can't I just be an artist or perhaps if we adopted a local currency.
No, and no.
Why don't we just walk back to your starting point which was the only point worth starting at

Anarchists are always starting in the right direction and then losing all credibility within a couple sentences. Do you know there are people who started listening to you and you didn't need to keep shouting

New project: problemsilike.com, a website collecting open problems that I, personally, like, with comments on their context, difficulty, and interest.

Of all the grim statistics you can think of. "When you were in high school, was homicide or suicide a bigger source of teenage death?"

Conquering all of modern day Iran, then Turkey, and finally defeating the power of the day, Babylon: Cyrus undoubtedly deserves the sobriquet of the Great.
Listen as @DalrympleWill + @tweeter_anita + Lloyd Llewelyn-Jones tell the extraordinary story of Cyrus the Great.
