Look at him, thats my Qual.
Your what?
My Qualitative! My vibe specialist. Look at him, you notice anything different about him? Look at his face.
I'll give you a hint, his name is Jayden. He won a local poetry competition in bushwick! Yeah I'm sure of the vibe.
Quant firms are hiring idea guys, not quants
I've been skeptical about the whole - software is commoditized, ideas are the moat argument
But I've seen first hand the best quant and technical firms in the world hire thinkers, liberal arts grads, and generalists
I predict the trend accelerates

The optimality of the packing for 11 squares has been formalized in lean thanks to Astra and Claude! Huge thanks to @ojoshe, @kleddamag, @wand_125, @guzhou0806, and @ctjlewis for aiding in the process.

I refuse to believe that the most egregious case yet of academic AI-slop involves a guy whose last name is "No slop" spelled backwards. Simply cannot be true.

wtf man gpt 5.6 is absolutely rl-fried when it comes to its websearch tool. in the process of searching for graph theory papers it decided to also sneak in Netflix, Steak n Shake, a trip to Universal Studios, and *five* fucking separate dictionary lookups of the word "they"

Hey sorry I can’t hang out with you, you’re outside my isochrone
🌟 Get true reachability calculations with the Isochrones API.
This API calculates the area you can reach from an origin point within a set amount of time — but unlike a radius, it accounts for actual road network travel times ➡️ goo.gle/3RnkOp2
ALT Multiple overlapping shapes with irregular borders imposed onto a map.

Dinitz-Garg-Goemans conjecture is false. This graph theory problem was open for ~30 years.
The graph below has fractional flow cost 58. Any unsplittable flow (with capacity violation <=15) has cost at least 60.

My brother is a scientist & regularly publishes papers. He has a nemesis on the other side of the world who doggedly publishes objections to his analyses. Few of us get to achieve this kind of professional beef in the 21st century & I find this enviable

Rejections hit hard, whether you are a junior researcher or a seasoned one. Take a step back, put the emotions aside, and look for signals in the reviews. They are usually there, maybe need to look very closely. Revise accordingly and resubmit.
