"От всичко на света здравият разум е разпределен най-справедливо, защото всеки се смята тъй щедро надарен с него, че дори онези, които най-трудно се задоволяват във всяко друго отношение, обикновено не искат повече здрав разум, отколкото имат" Рене Декарт

If I may update the theory of Imre Lakatos for the research programs and scientific progress: Good research programs are antifragile, bad research programs are fragile

USA is the place, but it is a state of immigrants.
The United States is home to the most foreign-born AND the most native-born scientific Nobel laureates, both by large margins:

People severely overestimate their abilities of getting information from very noisy channels-like trying to guess the wine components by its taste, or trying to catch pitch correction when subtle and hearing it everywhere, trying to guess if some text is AI. Fooled by RANDOMNESS

RFK is the biggest treat to humanity from the US administration. USA to become an incubator of novel viral variants after dropping vaccination rates.
BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Dozens of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

A page from The Siddhānta-Śiromaṇi by Indian mathematician Bhāskara II (c. 1114 – 1185) where you can see the use of Pythagorean theorem in the corner.

Think harder, and you will come to a very different conclusion
if you think about it, 3b1b videos are a kind of cocomelon

He practiced a lot, and that's why he was able to answer in such a way
G. H. Hardy on Srinivasa Ramanujan ✍️ He could remember the idiosyncrasies of numbers in an almost uncanny way. It was Littlewood who said that every positive integer was one of Ramanujan's personal friends. I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had

Hi new followers! I’m a mathematician at Harvard. I have a YouTube channel, where I discuss math the way I think about it, with now two playlists on differential geometry and complex geometry (in progress). Comments welcome! DG: https://t.co/ywUKaiYfc8 CG: https://t.co/hBwZQFZkHC

Trump getting his COVID-19 booster might ruffle some feathers among the conspiracy theory crowd — including RFK Jr.
The readout from President Trump's visit to Walter Reed today says he got his flu shot and Covid booster.

This looks very familiar to Pythagorean triples, but is confusing to think in that direction - direct attack with arithmetic is easier. 2/2

The discriminant b^2 - 4ac is an odd number, because it is a difference of even and an odd number. If it is negative, it's trivial. If it is positive, you need to show that it can not be a square, so b^2 - 4ac=d^2 or b^2 =d^2 + 4ac can not happen. 1/2
Fun problem for high school students that I saw in a 5 year fb memory. Also a fun fact!

This is just awful news. My introduction to "real" mathematics came in the fall of my freshman year, when I took Linear Algebra from Conway. We have 100 Conway stories from that one course alone. How do you learn vector spaces? Compute dimension of the space of 3x3 magic squares!
RIP John Conway. I asked him a lot of questions when I was a postdoc at Princeton and he always had a lengthy, deep, informative answer

Scandalous!
The sum of the reciprocals of the primes diverges.
