This is a cool car. It doesn’t look like anything else and it looks like it’s been pulled a few years from the future. I don’t know about this whole trend where cars don’t have rear windows though. I get it that you just use the camera but my old habits s
Consequences of progress toward the Riemann Hypothesis
The Endeavour @ 2026-10-08 00:29:28
The Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is the conjecture that all the zeros of the Riemann zeta function ζ(s) in the critical strip, i.e. the region of the complex plane with real part between 0 and 1, have real part equal to ½. The Quasi Riemann Hypothesis (QRH) sa

Faster Fourier Transform
The Endeavour @ 2026-10-07 23:41:47
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm can compute the discrete Fourier transform of a sequence of length n in time O(n log n). OpenAI recently posted a paper saying there is an algorithm that could compute the discrete Fourier transform in O(n (log n
Irrationality exponent of π
The Endeavour @ 2026-10-07 23:19:20
For a real number x, the irrationality index μ(x) is a way of measuring how well x can be approximated by rational numbers. If x is rational, μ(x) = 1. If x is irrational, μ(x) ≥ 2. OpenAI recently published a proof that μ(π) = 2. Almost all real numbers
