Edinburgh! There's a brand new shop a few blocks away, full of spices and other goods, many unknown to me.

Newly found art from 40,000 BC! Tiny ivory figurines of birds, found 1.5 meters apart in a cave called Hohle Fels in Germany. From the Aurignacian culture - Cro-Magnons. The glaciers had receded: the area was a steppe-tundra with permafrost, supporting mammoth, reindeer, horse, and bison.

Now I can say I put off paying my taxes because I'm a piezophile.

I'd go into biology if I could write a paper with a title like "Dynamic instability of Asgard archaeal tubulins". So intense! Asgard is the dwelling of the gods in Norse mythology. Archaea are an important group of organisms, going back to the early hot Earth. (1/n)

Eukaryotic-like microtubules and dynamic instability of Asgard archaeal tubulinsAsgard archaeal mini microtubules suggest an archaeal origin of eukaryotic microtubules.www.science.org

A really good mathematician told me Anthropic is paying people like him $250/hour to improve Fable by throwing hard math problems at it. They also get a separate account where they can use Fable for their own purposes. They can do it for 5 months maximum.

Alpöge's counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture has consequences for quantum mechanics in 3 dimensions! You can find operators obeying the usual position–momentum commutation relations that generate a smaller algebra than the usual ones do. Some observables become unreachable. (1/9)
