I’m 100m from where this paper is written, in Surry Hills. The people who work there must really hate working here. They should move the publishing house to Mosman where the journalists could live and work in peace

“Jim’s Spending”. Cool, cool, rational analysis in the paper.

What’s the Venn diagram of people who #readthepaper and people who vote One Nation?

"Now, in a paper posted online in late October, Alpöge, Bhargava and Shnidman have shown that at least 2/21 (about 9.5%) and at most 5/6 (about 83%) of whole numbers can be written as the sum of two cubed fractions."

Integers expressible as the sum of two rational cubes")

Those limits are bloody wide for a peer-reviewed, published paper.

I wonder what the #WidestRange has ever been a focus of a #reputable #PeerReviewed paper?
(range, normalised, expressed as a percentage, I suppose)

The work — the first-ever limit on how many whole numbers can be written as the sum of two cubed fractions — makes significant headway on “a recurring embarrassment for number theorists.”

@iceadvice Ooh that's cool! I should probably #ReadThePaper but do you need to input snowfall accumulation in this technique or is it entirely (#radr) obs derived?
