Why the hell would you divide by a negative number?
Give a reason.
I say that all multiplication and division by negatives should immediately coerce to ℂ, because there’s no rational, logical, reasonable, other thing you could be doing.
—Look at stuff and do critical thinking for me.
—Okay.
—I’ll just sit here and tell you what sounds cool or uncool, to me, who has no idea.
—Yes, boss.
—I’m a complete moron.
—Well, it’s complicated, boss.
Matz began an LLM-assisted Ruby compiler.

Unlike what I'm thinking, **he still goes through C**.
Bro —we don't have to, anymore! Just have a fun conversation with your bot about assembly and crazy weird hacks. C doesn't actually exist, man.

And now it is:
Give your users a template for how you want bug reports. Have them copy this into their AI tool and have a conversation with the tool about when the bug report is complete according to you.
These tools can result in more helpful bug reports.

To honor Darryl Yong, Daïna Taimina, and Bill Thurston, here comes a deformable-surface game.
Add material and the surface deforms.
So mathematics is a big treasure chest of toys, some of which have very long instruction manuals.

In the new era, it's very easy to turn any such toy into an interaction which can just be downloaded from any app store.

It's been said a million times: smart ideas were not the solution. Pouring billions (hundreds of billions? trillions cumulatively?) of USD into infrastructure and infra engineers was the answer.
Gil Strang has commented about deep learning.
He describes ReLu as an affine "fold" (as in origami)—along the partition line.

Thus an ellipsoid classifier is approximated with piecewise-linear folds around the boundary of an egg.
