#ItaLean2025 "Bridging Formal Mathematics and AI" in full swing! Very interesting talks on quite momentous topics (and such a jazzy atmosphere...)

If you can travel on Dec 9-12 and you are interested in LEAN, mathlib and in general formalizing mathematics, don't miss #ItaLean25

Great job @marcolenci.bsky.social and @pietromonticone.bsky.social

This is to give you an idea how crazy things are in academia right now. Literally in the past day and a half I received 3 + 1/2 + 1/2 review requests!! (I'm not at liberty to say what those two halves are.)

Stuff like this is going to happen more and more often, I fear. I’m amazed at the lengths people (especially outside a math dept) go to avoid doing a bit of math.
🤦‍♂️
3/n Specifically they uploaded the relevant section from the review and asked ChatGPT to confirm that the algebra was correct and to provide the reasoning. ChatGPT obliged. I went through the line by line reasoning and there was one jump that made no sense.

My book on the Ergodic Theorem is out in every (more or less) Italian newsstand this week, available as a bundle with the August issue of Le Scienze magazine (the Italian version of Scientific American), part of a series on the Greatest Theorems of Mathematics!

Nope, not working for me. Neither the normal script (get the error messages as in 1st pic) nor the slow delete under Advanced Options (see 2nd pic).
I really don't know squat about browser consoles and script, but my inkling is that X sent me incomplete / weirdly formatted data.
