Here's my live stream recorded from The Gardens of Babylon Global Isolation Party on 20.03.2020 Friday Night. Enjoy!

I created Math3ma in early 2015 as an aid in transitioning from undergraduate-level to graduate-level mathematics.

We have a part our school day dedicated to tutoring and reteaching. Every kid deserves to go to a school where they are always safe and never bored. There is a tremendous amount of intellectual labor that goes into good teaching. Every great teacher knows this and we think that in order to be a great school, we should provide and protect our teachers’ time to do it. We will not be back in the same building until next school year, but the school is not the building. We aren’t safe from the world, but we can feel the safety of teachers and classmates celebrating our successes and learning from our errors.

and I realized we’re actually all the same: strangers, smiling on a screen.

“In research,” said Tom Rivers, “you often need a person like [Harry] around, you know, someone … to encourage people to see what the grass is like on the other side. In other words, a catalyst. Harry Weaver performed that function beautifully.” ​ But it seems to me that we’d be doing a better job fighting COVID-19 if there were someone qualified who believed it was their job to solve it.

Carte Blanche is an emblem of conversation, an archive of the banter between paintings as I finish them. ​ Cinder Scaffold and Fever Dream explore the physical and proverbial momentum an idea needs to clear the gap between two canvases.

… “surreal.” It’s a word Americans often reach for when something destabilizes the ongoing-ness of daily life, when life seems “not itself.” This “life” almost always means “one’s role within the economy.” To be pushed into surreality in America is to suddenly notice the strangeness of one’s relationship to producing and consuming. One of surrealism’s clichés is that it is “the art of the dream.” It seems, now, as if a long dream has ended. Rather than pushed into the surreal, we have been for the first time in decades dislodged from the surreal.

“The most effective way to diffuse collective action — and the sweeping, systemic changes it can spark — has always been to turn those who are suffering against one another,” Petersen writes. That is also a concise way of explaining what Ring cameras accomplish: They reject the possibility of collective action and embed “every person for themselves” ​ With social media, the reasonable desires for social recognition and tailored information metastasized into addictive use patterns and “coordinated inauthentic behavior,” ​ while the app can continually foreground a sense of the world is fundamentally dangerous.

Suddenly being forced to stay still

There is no going back. The only way out is through—past a turbulent spring, across an unusual summer, and into an unsettled year beyond. ​ Stockdale’s strategy, instead, was to meld hope with realism—“the need for absolute, unwavering faith that you can prevail,” as he put it, with “the discipline to begin by confronting the brutal facts, whatever they are.” ​ They undoubtedly raise privacy concerns, but as my colleague Derek Thompson argues, “Compared with our present nightmare, strategically sacrificing our privacy might be the best way to protect other freedoms.”

MacBook Aired! The first 200 of you who go to this link will get 20% your annual Brilliant subscription: https://www.brilliant.org/reneritchie Ian Cutress of AnandTech joins me to talk MacBook Air thermals! The new MacBook Air, an update the the 2018 redesign, got pretty good reviews when it came out a month ago. People liked the new keyboard, the new chipsets, and the lower price. But, there were a few criticisms as well. Basically, the still low-res webcam, some concerns about thermal throttling on the faster CPUs, and the battery life. Since then, I’ve had time to pound on the Magic keys, compare the web cam to pretty much everything else I have, really dig into the thermals, and there’s even been a macOS Catalina supplemental update. So, what if any difference does a month make?

But remote RC is working, and it includes most of the best parts of RC because it includes the most important part: kind, thoughtful, curious people who are committed to becoming better programmers together.

But you can tell a lot about a teacher by how they respond when students don’t succeed. Some will say, “What’s wrong with you?” Others will ask, “What’s wrong with me?” great teachers know three things: they know their subject, they know how to explain their subject, and they know their students. Knowing the history of a topic, the interesting problems, the common misconceptions, the multiple approaches, the links to other topics. And it’s about expert communication of all of that. They co-create educational experiences with their students because they realize that students hold key knowledge of their own that most don’t acknowledge or even recognize.

Conway was arguably an extreme point in the convex hull of all mathematicians.

I want to make healthcare a place that people are excited about fixing, and step one of that process is just explaining to people what those problems are. I want to discover how to normalize meeting friends through the internet. Now my view is, “How can I find the right person to help me get through this obstacle?” I think simply spending time with people at your own career level that you think are high potential people and just staying near them and working with them on as many things as possible is the way to go. ​ I think a lot of people try to create a very manicured version of themself online, and then when you meet them offline, there’s this huge delta.
