Very interesting interview with an applied topologist. Just as John Cook (the interviewer) I had no idea applied topology was a thing. Would not have thought homology can help with planning cellular network coverage. Apparently it does. #mathematics

I find that we are reaching the break even point and mastodon (@kordinglab) is offering about equal quality of discussions as this place (despite a factor 9 smaller followership). They are just more engaged

Vivienne Westwood, 81, Dies; Brought Provocative Punk Style to High Fashion - The London shop she ran with Malcolm McLaren defined an era. “I don’t think punk would have happened,” Chrissie Hynde said, “without Vivienne and Malcolm.” #nytimes

If you're reading a proof that seems too good to be true, you should quickly get a sense of the whole argument, then focus on the parts that seem likely to be wrong.
You shouldn't take a portion of the proof that's correct, and optimize it. But that's what I've just done.
This new claimed proof of the 4-color theorem, just 6 pages long, uses a formula for counting rooted planar maps. But there's a simpler formula that would greatly simplify some of the arguments!

Plus, many expensive refutations now run in parallel, making them much faster (Thanks Andreas Stöffelbauer and Amey Verhade!) and as of DoWhy 0.9.1, DoWhy has cleaned up dependencies and supports python 3.10
