What I’m missing is the identity of an academic. An academic is an intellectual, a truth-seeker and truth-teller, a lifelong learner. Whereas I only do those things, if I feel like it. An identity gives you permission to do all the above. External permission, such as being allowed in a laboratory if that’s where your interests are pursued. But it’s also about allowing yourself to engage in intellectual pursuits. Or even: being afraid that without the external pressure of people expecting (predicting) novel intellectual output from you, you would not create any.

a graph is planar if and only if its crossing number is zero.

The Four Color Map Theorem (or colour!?) was a long-standing problem until it was cracked in 1976 using a "new" method... computers!

A celebration of minor, automatic graciousness within a community, which can shine a penetrating light.

Mochizuki had created so many new mathematical tools and brought together so many disparate strands of mathematics that his paper was populated with vocabulary that nobody could understand. It was totally novel, and totally mystifying. “You don’t get to say you’ve proved something if you haven’t explained it,” she says. “A proof is a social construct. If the community doesn’t understand it, you haven’t done your job.”

[Continuations generalize] the asynchronous value concept. If we plug in `R = Void` then we just get an [asynchronous] value, but if we use a non-`Void` `R` value[,] we will get a type that kind of mixes together aspects of synchronous computation and asynchronous computation

Look as long as you can at the friend you love, no matter whether that friend is moving away from you or coming back toward you.

All can be measured by the standard of the capybara.

I think my limit for open-loop writing is about 14k words. For the book on temporality I’m working on now, I’ll probably serialize it online in some form before trying to put it together as a book. ​​ All in all, it was a wonderful outpouring of deep reserves of creativity and knowledge, the likes of which I haven’t seen online in a long time. ​ Twitter is where all the history-making, universe-denting social media action really is. It is as close to a pure ideas-commons/digital public as we’ll ever get. ​ Email today is now less a communications medium than a communications compile target.

If you had told me four years ago today that someone would eventually get a Blackbox tattoo I never would have believed you…

(Did you know you could play video games in the morning before work? I certainly didn’t. But you can.) I still struggle with instinct, the motivation to do the most, the feeling that I’m not a good reader if I’m not cycling through new books every few days. I want to keep slowing down, and keep giving words the time they deserve.

US healthcare is a joke. Let's make it funny. Out of Pocket is a weekly comedic deep-dive and analysis into the rabbithole that is our healthcare system. Existing healthcare research is dry and boring, and raises questions like: Why are 75% of all healthcare conversations defining what a “digital therapeutic” is?

In January, when McMillan announced his intention to open Suckerpunch, Portland’s first entirely zero-proof bar, the response was similarly overwhelming. Within days, hundreds of people signed up for the bar’s mailing list, and a preview event at Roseline Coffee in February sold out in advance.

it’s interesting to note how powerful it can be to have an actual writer crafting narrative strategy. Articulation is the first product
