sometimes you watch a video of a professional athlete playing a different sport and instantly recognize their natural athleticism, like Steph Curry swinging a golf club or Myles Garrett dunking a basketball
this is not one of those videos
University of Chicago sociology professor (“colonialism and post-colonial thought)” says Jason Arday cleared of plagiarism while offering the most obvious AI slop garbage article imaginable as proof.
How can you take these people seriously about literally any topic?
Latest analysis by Taylor & Francis also clears Arday: no plagiarism. emeraldbook.org/news/oct-232…

there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see
I’ve seen enough. Dems are winning the Senate.
‘Glee’ is officially coming back after Disney+ and Hulu handed the reboot a series order.
The move has been on the cards for some time with co-creator Ryan Murphy discussing its potential return.

the short answer is that applied math (in modern academia) is mostly fake and a dumping ground for things like mathematical biology which are uninteresting to most mathematicians and biologists; interesting mathematics around physically-inspired problems is mostly pure math
not that it matters for long, but the correct equilibrium is where many major tech companies are already at: almost everyone in office 3+ days/week, very senior tenured people (L7+ typically) can request remote but even then with some scrutiny, almost all new hires in-office
The Yitang Zhang case is very obviously a black mark on mathematics as a whole and should cause you to update negatively in the direction of whether it is a “pure meritocracy”
This is the exact opposite interpretation of what actually happened. The case of Yitang Zhang perfectly illustrates how mathematics culture, at its best, is a pure meritocracy. Regardless of how “unknown” you may be, write a paper that proves a longstanding problem and we will read it, and if it’s right, then you will be instantly recognized as a hero by the community.
This part of mathematics may now be gone forever (due to AI), and this is very sad; this is one aspect of what so many of us are mourning, even as we look with awe at all the amazing discoveries we’ve already been gifted and many more sure to come.
impressive that at age 22 he’s already speedrun the LeBron “looks like the greatest talent in history” → “generational finals choke as major favorites” → “make everyone hate you immediately after”
there’s a bit of irony here where marginal workers in fields/corporations affected by H-1B abuse are very well-positioned to see the dysfunctions of the program, but this observation only makes them more miscalibrated in estimating their own market value
it really is peak midwit behavior to focus on whether LLMs are “intelligent” rather than LLMs having completely taken over a large and increasing fraction of tasks performed by the highest paid people in society (the latter point may not be immediately obvious to journalists)

MSCI needs to create a Submerging Market index:
- Italy (founding member, 2000 year history)
- UK (recent add)
- Canada (post-Trudeau Jr)
- France (teeters on the edge of inclusion depending on riot status)
- New Zealand (ex-tourism industry)
- Germany (if they can file papers)
