Mathematical physicist at UC Riverside. Wrote This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics and now the Azimuth blog on mathematics, physics and environmental science.
I'm fascinated by the laurel forests of La Gomera, one the Canary Islands. They're full of different species of trees with shiny, waxy leaves. Mosses and lichens grow on the branches, and the ground is covered with a green mantle of dripping ferns and liverworts thriving in the permanent damp. The place has a mysterious, prehistoric air. The lower altitudes of this island are deserts, but the upper parts catch fog, known locally as "horizontal rain" (lluvia horizontal). Near-constant northeasterly trade winds carry moist Atlantic air that condenses into a persistent low cloud layer. This "sea… Related

there is no better way to improve a business than dogfooding yourself which means treating myself as a client for the wellness coaching main problem i've been trying to help myself with mouth-breathing at night. things i've tried so far: - nasal rinse (tiny bit of salt + baking soda) - coconut oil in nostrils - humidifier and i think i've finally figured out what's going on... current theory is retainer is preventing me from forming a good "lip seal" (upper retainer pushing upper lip up, keeping mouth open) so next week's a/b experiment is to try sleeping without retainer and take notes Related

The Polymath8b upper bound of 246 on the gap between consecutive primes that appear infinitely often, has held since 2014, but has finally been shaved down to 240 in this recent preprint of Julia Stadlmann: https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.31126 . Her paper is a remarkable effort in the spirit of the original Polymath8b argument, except now done by one mathematician (with the assistance of traditional numerical computation, but not modern AI tools). Ever since the seminal work of Goldston, Pintz, and Yildirim, the progress on this problem has proceeded by carefully designing a "sieve" of bounded in… Related

Unexpected Codex use case: set up an Android handheld for me. @johnvoorhees got me into this: enable USB debugging and just let the agent rip. Codex installed Cocoon frontend on my AYN Thor, transferred all my ROMs, and is currently configuring emulators, mods, and other apps. It's just working in the background and cross-referencing YouTube/Reddit sources to set everything up, so I can focus on cooking for the family instead. Incredible. @dimillian Related

A Serif Badge Pin using a stretched out version of my Spagetty typeface in antique silver (probably not real silver) and it's available now in the shop! Wear it with pride, knowing that most people will point out the horrendous typo. Then you can explain the joke and they will probably think even less of you. But deep down, you'll know you have the upper hand regarding typography lingo puns. And that means something. simplebits.shop

we just assume that there's no upper bound on how long it might take for a message to go over the network. So, you send a message, it might arrive within 100 microseconds, or it might take 10 years.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
