Doing Advent of Code again this year! Wondering if it running for 12 days only means the difficulty will scale up faster, too. But, it's nice, I tend to burn out around 15 days anyway.

I get mixed feelings when google scholar periodically passes on new articles of basically one academic who I kind of see as "bizarro me" who continued in the same research area as I did for my PhD for the past 10 years.

Working on an article for SIAM News covering Courtney Paquette's plenary at AN25. Something for the precalc/calc students: horizontal asymp. here show you that more effort (flops) training a model yields no improvement.
Another data sci overtones one could sneak into the existing math curriculum.
