While it might be difficult to imagine in 2025, a magazine was one of the biggest deals for kids back in the 1990s. Disney Adventures, a monthly, digest-sized publication, was loaded with everything those readers wanted. Features on the biggest names for kids, from Jim Carrey and “Weird Al” Yankovic to Ken Griffey Jr. and … Continued

“Worst song ever made.” Eight days ago, a guy in Seattle named Justin Boldaji tweeted those words along with video of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros performing “Home” in an NPR Tiny Desk concert. In the footage, Jade Castrinos (hair cropped short, wearing a T-shirt, her shoulders emphatically swaying) is locked into a loving gaze with Alex Ebert, whose appearance (long-haired, bearded, shirtless under a white suit jacket) was recently summed up by journalist Jeremy Gordon with the phrase “Father John Misty as a cult leader.” Most days, I feel like this song’s charms outweigh its hokey affectations, but both “Home” and this specific performance are shamelessly earnest in a way that might strike you as and cloying.

Speaker: Scott Aaronson, Department of Computer Science, University of Texas, Austin Title: How Much Math Is Knowable? Abstract: Theoretical computer science has over the years sought more and more refined answers to the question of which mathematical truths are knowable by finite beings like ourselves, bounded in time and space and subject to physical laws. I’ll tell a story that starts with Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem and Turing’s discovery of uncomputability. I’ll then introduce the spectacular Busy Beaver function, which grows faster than any computable function. Work by me and Yedidia, along with recent improvements by O’Rear and Riebel, has shown that the value of BB(745) is independent of the axioms of set theory; on the other end, an international collaboration proved last year that BB(5) = 47,176,870. I’ll speculate on whether BB(6) will ever be known, by us or our AI successors. I’ll next discuss the P!=NP conjecture and what it does and doesn’t mean for the limits of machine intelligence. As my own specialty is quantum computing, I’ll summarize what we know about how scalable quantum computers, assuming we get them, will expand the boundary of what’s mathematically knowable. I’ll end by talking about hypothetical models even beyond quantum computers, which might expand the boundary of knowability still further, if one is able (for example) to jump into a black hole, create a closed timelike curve, or project oneself onto the holographic boundary of the universe. The Yip Lecture takes place thanks to the support of Dr. Shing-Yiu Yip.

How to think about vendors, technology, and power

There's a common misunderstanding that the land that was granted is the land that the university is on. But the land grant involved far more land and the displacement of far more people than just the land occupied by the university. Penn State's endowment, for example, was created through the sale of three quarters of a million acres of the lands of more than 100 other nations, tribes, and bands to our west.
