Endlich mal wieder ein langes Video von Tibees. Including: eine lange überfällige Übersetzung eines Weltklassikers, Erklärung des Worts "buttload" und ein Rant über Mathe-Esoterik.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a crow it came up that she has never been sat on by a cat. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never been sat on by a cat.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on by a cat.

Have you ever been sat on by a cat?

Yes

The preview updates live while typing, error messages are better, Typst is less idiosyncratic and 1980s...

LaTeX on the other hand has a gazillion of packages wich solve ever thing you can possibly think of.

Slides are also better with typst. My thoughts from last summer:

Is anyone using typst instead of #tex ? Is it any good?

Applying calculus to #numbertheory gives me flashbacks to innumerable talks which mentioned the Circle Method without defining it 🙃 I never did understand them at the time!

It's interesting to consider the relationship between the infinity studied in #mathematics and the infinity that may exist in the real world, though ultimately this article doesn't have any answers.

I bet few people have wondered though, "if space is infinite, what is its cardinality?"

While the official knowledge has been transcribed in textbooks, the secret art of mathematicians has remained an oral tradition… It reveals what no one dares write down in books because it doesn’t seem serious enough… Math is an inner adventure… But it’s a universal adventure, a journey into the depths of human intelligence, consciousness, and language.

New blog post “Did Ahmes find the best expansions for 2/n?”. I discuss the table of Egyptian fraction expansions of 2/n in the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, and whether it contains mistakes. I bravely conclude that I am not sure.
