For my 2^12-th tweet, for better or worse, I finally updated my website! https://t.co/KzLcekfoLX Source: https://t.co/xUhbVQoPUc (messy, sorry!) There's lots and lots of "Coming Soon!"s and I should have probably tested before "pushing to production", but well, it's up 🎉

I am working to address an apparent error for a data point I cited in my book about the water footprint of a proposed data center in Chile. I’d like to explain what happened, what I’m doing to remedy it, and provide more recent data on the water footprint of data centers. 1/

Neat puzzle, vibe coded --- thanks to Lovable/Claude --- a simulator thing where you can customize the number of boxes and gifts and also step through the process and/or run 100 simuls in one go. https://t.co/hjsncAMtpi

Charlie puts 26 presents in 100 boxes, labeled 1 to 100. Each second, Alice and Bob look in one box. Alice opens them in order (1,2,3,…), while Bob opens the odds first, then the evens (1,3,5,…,2,4,6,…). Who is more likely to see all 26 presents first?

Just found out that MacWhisper, my favorite macOS app for transcribing audio to text (using Whisper or now also NVIDIA Parakeet) now has an Automatic Speaker Recognition feature too

Inspired by this conversation on Hacker News I decided to upgrade MacWhisper to try out NVIDIA Parakeet and the new Automatic Speaker Recognition feature. It appears to work really well! …

This is a much more intuitive version of the prisoners dilemma from Jon Kleinberg’s excellent book, https://t.co/EsoYlFhGws, that covers the holy trifecta that Michael Jordan keeps discussing, namely Econ + CS + stats. (Very relevant for a future with human and AI agents …)

In the light of the recent news from IISc about tracking time-at-labs, timely to check out this compilation of opinions from the international scientific community on the matter, in the context of a similar situation that arose in Italy: https://t.co/ugO3XfLdkG

Here are *all* the videos from PyBay 2025. I loved the talks by Pamela Fox (bees!) and Glyph (open source project advice).

New from me, in @Nature: Mathematicians put AI model AlphaProof to the test. A solicited News & Views article about @GoogleDeepMind AlphaProof that was an absolute joy to write! https://t.co/HBnQg22MEP

New Numberphile video on YouTube - I discuss Prof. P. P Divakaran's contributions in bringing early Calculus from 'Kerala School of Mathematics', India (14th-16th Century). This is a tribute to the scholarship of Prof. Divakaran who passed away in August https://t.co/vQ5UFd3KT3
Wonderful @numberphile video by my friend and colleague Swagat Mishra @Primeval_Arhsim on the legacy of Prof P.P Divakaran and the very early history of calculus which originated in India around 300 years before Newton and Leibniz- https://t.co/gTkMDHhfS8

I'm teaching a new "Intro to Modern AI" course at CMU this Spring: https://t.co/ptnrNmVPyf. It's an early-undergrad course on how to build a chatbot from scratch (well, from PyTorch). The course name has bothered some people – "AI" usually means something much broader in academic

How often do you find yourself wishing for a newsletter that covered fundamental physics in way that was accessible but not dumbed down? Pretty often, I am sure! Well, here it is. My free newsletter--"The Spacetime Beat". https://t.co/4DJ7HkUrMJ

Just finished teaching the new edition of Advanced Machine Learning, @IITBombay. This is a course for which I have to study more than the students because of the blistering pace at which AI is advancing. We studied theory and latest models, and built agents to guard hostel rooms.

Introducing Webtrotion 2.0: For the first (and possibly only) time, I decided to add additional parsers to Notion to compensate for missing blocks. Now you can go on any tangents and cite your sources without cluttering up the page. https://t.co/RpzlCtUaRi

my love-letter to the humanities: a book on mathematics & poetry. it starts with the question: "Where the Hell is Heaven?" thesis: in imagining the afterlife, poets from ancient times used the same imaginative skills that geometers and topologists use to imagine abstract

DeepSeek-OCR is the best OCR ever. It parses this extremely hard to read handwritten letter written by mathematician Ramanujan in 1913 with a frightening degree of accuracy. Not perfect, but beats former best dots ocr. Bonus points if you can spot the errors. Try it here:

Really funny how CNN set up this very fun interactive site to show how ranked-choice voting works, with lots of flavors in the mix, and after all is said and done, the two final contenders are…chocolate (51.4%) and Vanilla (48.6%). Almost like Rs and Ds. https://t.co/meWpjeQQlr
