The better framing is that despite not having a high school or college diploma, 2 separate graduate math programs still scrambled to make an EXTREMELY rare exception and directly admit her! I don’t know why people are mad about this.
Absolutely bonkers interaction… are academics okay?
This professor said it was lazy to not include a page # for book citations, I pointed out that the first citation on the first paper I clicked on, on his website, was lacking this, and he… ummm… became quite enraged.
I got blocked for this tweet which was punishment for tweeting while making my coffee at my actual job of… writing up a 30 page report on energy generation for data centers.
This is precisely what @Polymarket and other prediction markets should *not* be doing. These markets are designed to be self-fulfilling prophecies.
Cost of a WNBA ticket + dildo is <$50, penalties (if caught) are a few days in jail, ~$1000 fine. Do the math on market volumes.
My prior is that 80% of advice column writers-in are just straight up fake or bait. This one seems somehow too absurd to even be fake, so… who knows. Definitely good content regardless 😆
I am begging smart people to stop wasting their time on IQ heritability. It’s like, not even in the top thousand most important or interesting scientific questions of today, but it captivates smart people in this bizarre solipsistic manner.
I remember this discourse from last month… I think it’s a weird framing, given that she got into two competitive graduate math departments, and will be attending one of them!

I will likely be furloughed without pay if the shutdown goes into December. This provides me a unique opportunity to insure my earnings by betting non-trivial amounts of money on a shutdown > 60 days at 20% odds. I *should* do this. But my mind is resisting.
