My faves were a couple by Apostol in freshman math on, like, the prime number theorem, zeta function, gamma function, Euler-Mascheroni constant, not in his textbook and nothing we were expected to really learn. Glimpses of peaks from the foothills.

A bit conjectural iirc: Hipparchus recording precise measurements for the time in the hope of more far-future discoveries like precession of the equinoxes (which he'd done using Babylonian records). I'm really only remembering feeling struck by the suggestion.

I've wondered why this daily experience doesn't transfer more -- why overconfident wrong beliefs seem just as common among programmers as others. But your version only requires true beliefs to be enriched over the background, not prevalent. That seems more plausible.

The custom checking idea sounds kind of like core.ac.uk/display/208866…
(I didn't listen to the podcast.)

Such slanted language in a news story. Feels weird to my expectations from growing up in the 80s. Used to be more of mask of objectivity.

Yes! So far I've skimmed the Vulcan one and feel tempted to make a toy interpreter.

Same story for me with Hardy's Return of the Native. I sort of wonder how he got in the canon.

the book The Practice of Prolog was pretty good on this, though still on the academic side. I've only used it for sketching/prototyping.

I want to reify my tabs as a dynamic web page I can cmd-F through. Wanted this for a long time, too lazy to learn browsers extensions, assuming they can do it.

Biomolecular computing people have actually implemented the tiling model -- I vaguely remember some electron micrographs of carpets. Nothing very fancy yet...

Also I thought it could be done as well in other modern languages, and Logo's advantage was just the smooth slope.

fwiw, there's a book by Abelson & diSessa (Turtle Geometry) with a lot more math than other Logo sources I've seen. (It's still for bright youngsters rather than mathematicians.)

never heard of it before. Gosh.
Well, I have walked through that ridiculous neighborhood. Trump Tower at least doesn't take up that much area.

I'd be there if not for state income tax. It's almost not even the amount so much as not having to deal with it.

Most of the ideas were current before the novel in transhumanist circles online, like the extropians list.
