#the Riemann Report

[datamodel-of-disaster]

The Riemann Report: January

I suppose you could say my New Year’s resolution was to do more… idk, real-feeling things. Stuff that feels tangible, like I actually do something with my time and my life.

So… as the year started, I’ve started reading books, again. My result stack for January is small but proud. A shitty job, mental health issues, and life events kinda stole all my attention span and drive to pursue real hobbies last year, so knowing I’m coming from rock bottom I’m genuinely happy with my progress. So… behold the books I finished!

And well… since this is sort of a “book report”, you can find my opinion on them below the cut!

Purple Hibiscus - Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie

Am I late to this party? Probably. But holy shit. A genuine page turner, somehow, despite the subject matter. If you’d told me I’d find a book about a domestic abuse situation this hard to put down I wouldn’t have believed it, and yet. There I was, sneaking pages while on the toilet at work, completely enthralled. I can’t explain it, you have to read it yourself.

Delta of Venus - Anaïs Nin

Anaïs Nin should be glad she wrote long before the advent of TikTok, because this book is Problématique (and proud to be so). A series of erotic short stories that read like snapshots from a parallel universe, like a voyeur’s dream -where every action is titillation, every body exists to be seen and fucked, and cheating, prostitution and even assault are but sexy games people play. The only jobs anyone seems to have are model and painter -and even those are but an excuse to get up to sexy shenanigans. In short: it’s absolutely delightful. A peak into the pornoverse, anno 1940.

In Praise of Older Women - Stephen Vicinczey

A fake memoir of a Hungarian man with a remarkable life. At once a ridiculous tall tale, a sexy fantasy, and a surprisingly convincing “true to life” narrative, always balancing on the very edge of believable. Excellent read. Avoid if you are easily upset by…. Let’s call it non-ideal sexual situations.

The Field Guide to Understanding “Human Error” - Sidney Dekker

A bit of nonfiction. Sidney Dekker talks about plane crashes and offshore oil rig accidents, from the perspective of a safety expert and accident investigator -but underneath the specific examples, he talks about the human condition and its many pitfalls and logical fallacies. About how to approach the aftermath of disaster with willingness to understand rather than eagerness to condemn. About what “safety” actually is, and how it can be both built up and eroded in human interaction. Highly recommend even if you work a desk job.

En Dan Nog Iets - Paulien Cornelisse

A Dutch book! Title translates as “And Another Thing”, but I’d wish anyone luck trying to translate the contents. Written by a Dutch cabaretière, it’s a collection of witty observations of the Dutch language in its natural habitat -with its idioms, expressions, trendy words, but mostly, the many almost untranslatable ways people give themselves away in the way they talk.

Girls in White Dresses - Jennifer Close

Did I like this book, or did I find it horrendous? Both. The blurb on the back sells it as a chick lit about a group of women who struggle with romance while continuing to attend the weddings of others. What it actually is, is a painfully astute dissection of life in your twenties and thirties, in all its small-minded, vapid, petty, anxiety-riddled, hopeful, generous, and truly all-too-human glory. “Relatable!”, the blurb promises. I’d say, take that as a threat.

The Social Life of Information - John Seely Brown and Paul Duguid

More non-fiction. An IT book from the year 2000, I can hear you think “what relevance does that even have anymore?” -and you’d be surprised. Most of the book is not about tech. It’s about people, and how people form an indispensable part of any IT ecosystem. It’s remarkable, how relevant much of the contents still are, from the isolation of the home office, the battle against bad actors on the Internet, and the difficulties of transferring knowledge, to the endurance of paper within the office and the value of informal information exchange. A niche read, but valuable.

The Hotel Life - Javier Montes

Did I like this book? No. Would I recommend it? Also no. Was it memorable? Very. This book was at once boring and baffling. Nothing happens for ages; the narrator is not particularly interesting, even as he sinks into an increasingly unhinged parasocial fascination with a female porn director he met only once. There’s nothing sexy or even fascinatingly dark about the main character even as he essentially becomes a stalker. He’s boring, even while insane. (There’s also an almost random murder near the end that happens bizarrely blasé and doesn’t get addressed?) Anyway. A book like a developing psychosis. Proof no one becomes interesting by going mad.

….

Let’s hope I also manage to read some the coming month!

second tnmn fan character for my genderbent au! So, with father rudboys being death by doppel case #1, here's:

CASE #2

Name: Jacob "Jake" Riemann

Date of Death: XX/XX/1950

Story Description:

A widely known investigative journalist . Celebrated by the public and feared by the crime world for having successfully dug up information on a lot of hidden schemes and bringing them out to justice. He was also noted for having cracked multiple cold cases in the past.

When the doppelganger outbreak became prominent, he decided to take it upon himself to investigate about the monsters; their origins and how they came to be.

That's where he and a few other journalists met their untimely demise by the doppels.

The public, his family and fiancee mourned for him.

but apparently there was more to his death than what was presented to the public..

Somewhere in the journalist massacre incident report, there were some hidden details that were never disclosed.

In Riemann's autopsy report, it was clear that he succumbed to the doppels attacks, but it was also discovered that he was found to have sustained a few bullet shots to his legs. It was also noted that his cadaver was found separated from the rest of the dead journalists.

Was he trying to run away and got incapacitated? What happened?

The short answer

He saw too much. About the truth behind the doppels and the D.D.D.

but know one knew about that ...

The rest of the hidden details about Riemann's death were only made known to one person.

And that person is out for justice...

But despite his death, for some mysterious reason, it's like his work is still ongoing. Crime cases are still being cracked open left and right, but know one knows who's doing them. Some jokingly speculate he was so dedicated to his work, his ghost still lurks around and does them.

Is it a ghost? Or just one very disgruntled person?

[octuscle]

I've done a few himbo transformations with the Chronivac, but I'm getting tired of being dumb. I want to be smarter without risking some crazy permanent change. Can you make it so I steal 1 IQ point from everyone who's in the same room as me? They can have it back when they leave.

You are a super Himbo. Always in good shape, always horny. And admittedly also a real feast for the eyes. I like your idea. It's a little bit experimental. But let's give it a try.

You're always the first one at the gym in the morning. You love to start your day pumped up. And it's wonderfully empty at this time of day. No smart alecks to make fun of you. You have the body, you have the face. An IQ of 89 is more than enough for an alpha guy like you! Normally you're done with your program by 07:30. That's when the gym usually fills up. Today it's surprisingly full. There's a congress in town, so lots of external guys always come to work out. By around 07:00 there are already a good 30, maybe 35 people training. One of the guys is really cute. You approach him. You talk about all sorts of things and train the next sets together. It's rare to find someone who has a similar political opinion and is interested in both Italian opera and astronomy at the same time. And who looks so awesome at the same time. You'll get a boner. He notices. You say that unfortunately you have to go now and you're going to take a shower. He says that he hopes you'll see each other again sometime. You see each other in the shower four minutes later. Not a soul around. And you fuck the guy like only a man with a bird's brain can.

You like your work as a motorcycle mechanic. Your machines are just as simple as your brain. You understand them. And you're really good at making them look hot and getting the most out of them. And you like to work alone. It's difficult in a team. Some know-it-all is always making fun of you. Pure envy, you think, and flex your muscles. But it does annoy you a little. That's why you prefer to do things in the evening that don't involve talking. Dancing. Fucking. Or go to the movies. Like tonight. "The Beekeeper". It's supposed to be good.

Shit, your head is starting to pound. The movie theater is maybe half full. You do a quick count. Yes, exactly 378 people. 78 percent male. That was to be expected. According to a rough estimate, they all spent a total of 3,117 dollars on Coke and popcorn. One guy went to the loo for the third time. You've noticed 67 things in the movie so far that are illogical. Bored, you take out a cell phone. You surf to the MIT website. A very interesting article from the mathematics department about the Riemann conjecture. By the end of the movie, you've finished the proof.

Fortunately, your favorite pub, where you're having a nightcap, is almost empty. Your buddy at the bar, a handful of the usual regulars. Your cell phone vibrates incessantly. Lots of calls from unknown callers. From cities you've never heard of. Boston, San Francisco, Cambridge in Massachusetts, Cambridge in England. Göttingen. Isn't that in Poland? What do they all want from you? You turn off your cell phone.

The next morning you have 189 missed calls. You check a few messages. But you can't understand a single word they're saying. Something about genius. And a brain that only exists once. Hehehe, you've heard that a lot about your cock. You're going back to the gym. You're late today. Your crush from yesterday is already here. And so are 40, 50 other people. CNN is on the screens. The headlines are about the proof of Riemann's hypothesis. Your crush asks you if you know what it is. You explain it to him and outline your solution. As best you can reproduce it. It's really complicated. Your crush stares at you open-mouthed. "You've proved Riemann's conjecture?“ You grin a little sheepishly.

Shit, this guy has a hot ass and a talented tongue. But why can't he keep his tongue in check? After a few minutes, the first reporter is in your workshop and asks you about this Riemann shit. Tell him to go to hell. A second, a third reporter arrives. They're on the floor laughing as you answer their questions. The weaklings are about to get the shit kicked out of them. In the afternoon, a courier arrives from this Cambridge, which is not in England. With a letter. An invitation to a ceremony. Whatever that is. And then there's a check inside. A check for a million dollars.

You like airports. A place where you can do sociological studies. You also really enjoyed the flight. The documents that the mathematical institute in Cambridge sent you are very interesting. But you see a few inconsistencies that you would like to discuss. A driver is waiting for you at the airport. You take a deep breath when you are finally out in the fresh air. It's funny, there's a guy holding a board with a name just like yours on it. You walk up to him. "Mr. Wood?" he asks a little incredulously. "Hehehe, someone must have given us that name one early morning. Do you understand, dude? And by the way, my name is Al." Curt is a cool dude. You get to sit up front and talk about football and stuff. Curt lifts iron too. He recommends a good gym near the hotel and campus. Then he tells you stuff like you can freshen up if you want. Then the dean would like to meet you for a private lunch in private. And then the prize will be officially presented in the setting. Then there is also time for your speech. You say that you smell like a real man and don't need to freshen up. And you ask what a dean does and what the hell the speech is all about. Curt grins.

The dean wipes the sweat from his brow. The food tastes quite good, but you would have preferred an honest burger. You don't understand a word of the stuff the old geezer is talking about. He keeps mumbling something about a catastrophe. You ask yourself why you're wearing that stuffy shirt. It would actually be cool right now to just wear a tank top with all the nerds and show off your muscles. Dinner is finally over. The dean, or whatever his name is, stands up and asks you to follow him. You walk towards a really cool looking building, which is called Kresge Auditorium. Funny name. You enter the hall, which is packed with dozens of people, all of whom are beaming with joy at you. The dean waves you off, pulling you along behind him. You are standing in a huge lecture hall where hundreds of people are already waiting. More and more people stream in behind you. The dean asks you to keep your mouth shut for God's sake. Then he gives his opening speech. He gives a somewhat twisted rendition of the essence of Riemann's conjecture. But as far as you know, he's not a mathematician either… The dean ends with the words "…. And yet this man has obviously proved one of the biggest problems in mathematics. Mr. Wood, would you like to say something?“ You interpret his gestures as him asking you to just shut up. But you're here to chat about math. You stand at the lectern. "Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor for me to speak to you today in this magnificent building. I assume that you are familiar with my remarks on the Riemann conjecture. I don't want to bore you with that either. Let's talk about another interesting topic instead, the P-NP problem." The dean faints.

Shit, the day was really exhausting. You're so happy when Curt finally drives you to the hotel. It's already late, but you still want to make your muscles burn. So you make your way to the gym. There's hardly anyone here at this time of night. One guy looks nice and really hot. You chat a bit. You train together. You both end up in your hotel room and fuck the rest of your brains out. Ian says that you absolutely have to come to Springbreak.

Fuck, Ian was so right. Spring break is awesome! The weather is incredible. Eating, drinking, working out, fucking, partying, all outdoors. You're one of the stars here. Because of your body and your cock. Certainly not because of your head. Hehehe, the 200,000 dollars that you've already spent here from your prize money has certainly contributed to your reputation. The party is in full swing. Suddenly the sky darkens and a thunderstorm with hail breaks out. The party people stream into the hotel lobby. And you flow with them. One of about 400 wet, muscular bodies. You take a quick look around. 423, to be precise.

PhD Blog Week 18

Courses

Solitons: More scattering problems, and brief discussion of inverse scattering problems, losing faith that this is ever going to become interesting, still haven't actually seen any solitons beyond the initial discussion of lecture 1

Rep theory: started off with some pretty satisfying results about characters which felt like we were finally using some of the theory we've built up, then did a bit of applications to number theory, which not knowing any number theory I couldn't really see the point of anything we were doing

Hopf algebras: I gave my talk on string diagrams, I think it went quite well, and I seem to have convinced most people that string diagrams are a good way to do things. The lecturers computer crashed again so another lecture cut short by 20 minutes of technical difficulties. Particularly annoying this week as it was supposed to be all of the examples of Hopf algebras this week. Instead we got a rushed explanation of the examples that I alraedy know, skipping most of the new examples, and then the dreaded schemes, one day I'll learn some algebraic geometry

Talks

Algebra preseminar was "Variety hour" this week, which meant all of us had to give a 5 minute talk, which I forgot about until the morning of. I ended up talking about the Boson-Fermion correspondence, I think it went well, but I was a bit rushed explaining the action on the Fermion side

Didn't go to the algebra seminar, I needed to write my string diagrams talk, and no integrable systems talk either

Supervisor Meeting

Finally finished reading the chapter of the book we've been looking at for about a month, and I think I'm starting to understand the bigger picture

Got tasked with doing something new for the first time, I have to do a calculation using the graphical calculus of the Fermions, hopefully this will give us new insight or a way to more efficiently do the combinatorics of these interactions

Group Project

Had our first proper meeting, set out a rough outline, and I've now started reading for the chapter I have to write. Slightly annoyed at the lack of any examples that aren't U_q(sl_2).

Spent far too much time in the meeting arguing over a colour scheme for our report, really focusing on the important things

Teaching

First year maths tutorial was fine, although making students calculate Riemann sums with 8 rectangles by hand twice seems a bit harsh

Dynamical systems: mostly fine, drawing phase plots, everyone was pretty much stuck on the same idea, which is that isoclies don't really make sense, and I kind of have to agree, I guess they're useful for more complicated diagrams but they just caused confusion for most people

It’s 2 Mar 2025. I thought last workout had hit a limit, but after a day off I cut an entire minute off my time, and raised my average speed from 15 to 15 ⅔. And before that I did some heavy, meaning heavily weighted, calf stretches by extending myself as far as possible while extending the weight so I’m pushed hard into the stretch. I am slightly stunned in the after-effects sense.

I wanted to talk about integration. Not sure why or where this is going, but I felt the need to think about how a function can be treated as the derivative of a function which generates both instantaneous and changes in area. This is clearly true, which is one reason why I’m confused: what are we thinking about? You can see the closed and open forms. And why L’Hopital’s rule works as a limit under certain conditions. What are we thinking?

Integral of the count of squares. Okay. But the enclosing function which makes gs, that hashmark form in which the Bip is within and the 3 Ends of Triangular are on the Boundary to that Bip center. You see why Bip works so well here because when you CR this, you get higher dimensional shapes with that Bip, and thus the linkages between.

So in that Boundary form - maybe Triangular Boundary form or, get this, since we use bT for base Triangle then why not use BT for Boundary Triangle? - so in BT form, we generate rectangles, and those rectangles happen to in the same direction as Riemann and Lebesque integration, meaning vertical and horizontal. So we connect directly into the generation of integral calculus. Why aren’t I more excited?

I don’t know. Maybe it’s because words keep whispering why isn’t there a gs form for integration? I have no idea how that would work. This isn’t something I know how to do. But I’m game to play with it, if you are. And you seem to be pushing this on me, so let’s play.

A gs forms as the BT because the 1Space generates in states which connect states. Yeah, that helps. Give it a chance. One state is each rectangle. Got that? Okay. Think 2 rectangles and that they cross making a square in the middle of area ¾, meaning there is an area of ¼ spread over the layer which surrounds that square. That is the same as IC, just rearranged so the IC is a gs and the 3 are not only centered but counted as 3, which is SBE, so you could say how SBE Attaches at this scale to make the IC which is the 1 which is the IC which is the 1. Or you could say that this encloses Triangular within quadrants, literally as the shared denominator. We talked about that yesterday or the day before.

So there’s a Boundary formed by the Triangular surrounding the Bip. And that invokes the gs which encloses the Bondary and that which is enclosed, meaning it the Boundary Attaches at the corner Ends or the midpoint Ends, at the 1 of 1-0-1 or the 1 of 0-1-0.

Why is is difficult to think this clearly? It’s not like this is new. Maybe it’s like stretching: you always need to do it, but you get better and further because you don’t start from the same 0 every day. It just feels that way, which is another way of describing the negative shedding effect: the resetting of the 0 generates the negative. Wow, that really is a fundamental operation. And it’s completely obvious if you think of chains. In fact, I can say the math of 1 and 0 Attachment must generate negatives through the 0 reset, and that is part of the quadrant process by which gs generates over the sK along the szK.

I think that works for causality. That is, the IL is the pitted surface which Attaches to higher dimensions, as the bridge form. It’s literally the bridge form which connects higher dimensional information to the Informational Limit. It’s the way our 0Space relates to 1Space in the physical tObject sense.

I had a weird thought: what if we take a D24 and Triangularize it into D8’s? In that pathway, we have 3 Things, which means the state reported by a D24 generates at the Bip of that Triangular. Remember doing that work? Like it’s the SBE2 of IC, which I love because it means you check out over both perspectives at each level.

Funny, but of course last night as I was trying to sleep - up til 2AM again, with even the cat giving up on me - I thought about how even the craziest math ideas have proven correct. And here we go again. I used to worry about how we could arrange a D24 lattice, which of course relates to the Monster Group, and now I see it’s weird to think that couldn’t happen. I note the Leech lattice packs 196,500 which is close to but not 192 (times 1000). That would be like 192,000 cubes and 4500 more. Beats me. That stuff rarely comes out, so I don’t think about it. It makes sense there would be extra, but why this?

So how do you proceed? We have these rectangulars and we have these squares because those generate, so the question is whether comparisons of those would be helpful. And isn’t that a question similar to the setup of the BT? I mean we locate 4 Ends on the Boundary, and we do that by generating that 4th End, which occurs in this process: each bT inverts and forms Irreducibles which makes the hashmark, which means the squares form so there’s the ¾ and the one which fits the 1-0Segments together, which of course is a 1Square, and that means the inner edge, where the rectangles cross infers what fits to the D1 of the hashmark to make the D4 of the gs. That means we have an End, an intersection, and that infers outward in both xK and yK, and we can either complete that or not with a 1 End because it’s constructed in one view and is part of the bT in the other. Say we leave those hashmark Ends as 0, then we infer the 1 over those 0’s. If we infer 1, then we are inferring 0 over those 1’s to 0.

I need to stop for now. Fun play.

[That there is a fairly strong correlation between mathematical aptitude and being a smoker] was recently confirmed by an extensive study "Mathematics and Smoking" that evaluated 1000 randomly chosen mathematical smokers and 1000 non-smokers, and concluded, that the correlation between smoking and mathematical ability is 0.765 (plus-and-minus 0.003). This interesting study was rejected by the Notices of the American Mathematical Society, not because they found anything wrong with it, but because of the PC mafia that was worried that this study would encourage young graduate students to take up smoking in order to improve their math. Please give me a break! Graduate students are smart enough to know that correlation is not causation, and just if they did not smoke until now, adopting this bad habit would not increase, by epsilon, their chance of proving [the Riemann hypothesis]. Unfortunately, the authors of this interesting study succumbed to pressure, and agreed not to make it public. This is a shame. Of course, physical health is very important, but the truth is even more so, and the "inconvenient truth" that smokers make better mathematicians should not be censored.

“Opinion 172: Correlation is not Causation, Hence the Conclusive Report that Proves that Smokers are better Mathematicians (on average) than non-smokers, should not be suppressed” by Prof. Doron Zeilberger on April 1, 2019

Will cigarettes help me become a better mathematician?

im very hesitant to make any concrete claims here because of the lack of formal studies. of course when such studies are attempted they are inevitably suppressed by woke pc gatekeeping mobs such as the AMS if they don't turn out the way society would hope. the results aren't published, but i was able to pull some strings to take a look. you can probably guess what they say

What is Q*? Elon Musk Unearths the Mathematical Mystery Behind Sam Altman's Removal from OpenAI!

The emergence of Q* (pronounced Q-Star) within OpenAI was a closely guarded secret until recently. Some insiders believe that Q* may represent a significant breakthrough in the quest for artificial general intelligence (AGI), a type of AI capable of outperforming humans in most economically valuable tasks. Although details about the algorithm’s capabilities are limited, it has been reported that, when provided with ample computing resources, Q* demonstrated proficiency in solving certain mathematical problems. While the problems solved by Q* may seem rudimentary, akin to tasks performed by grade-school students, the fact that an AI system accomplished them with ease has ignited optimism among researchers. This optimism stems from the belief that Q* has the potential to evolve into a transformative technology with implications beyond mathematics.

Elon Musk's Answer

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1728228308331249673 Exploring the Universe of Shapes and Patterns with Math Imagine you're playing a video game where you can create your own world. In this game, you have all sorts of tools to make mountains, valleys, rivers, and even more complex things like weather patterns or the paths animals might wander. In math, especially in a field called algebraic geometry, we have tools kind of like that too! These tools help us understand and explore the 'shapes' of space itself, even if that space is more complicated than what we can see or touch. What the Paper Talks About In the article by Julius Ross and Matei Toma, they're like advanced players in this game, working with very special tools that help us understand complex shapes that can be squished into different forms without tearing or gluing them—these are called 'manifolds'. They're looking at specific rules or 'relations' that tell us how these shapes can behave. The main characters in their story are: - Shapes (Cohomology Classes): Think of these as different types of stickers you can put on your game world that follow certain rules. Some might be shiny and only stick to mountains, while others might be gloomy and stick to valleys. - Tools (Hodge-Riemann Relations): These are like special glasses that let you see hidden patterns in where the stickers can go and how they relate to each other. - Puzzles (Schur Classes of Vector Bundles): These are collections of stickers that follow a pattern. Imagine a treasure map where 'X' marks the spot. These maps can lead us to find new patterns we didn't see before. What They Found The paper tells us that these treasure maps (Schur classes) can actually fit into the patterns seen with the special glasses (Hodge-Riemann relations), even though we didn't think they could before. It's like discovering that a secret level in your game actually has clues hidden in the main world. The cool part is that this isn't just about putting stickers on shapes. It can help us understand things like how light bends in space or how to design better structures, like bridges or buildings, because the patterns tell us about strength and balance. Why It's Cool What Julius Ross and Matei Toma did is like finding a hidden rule in the game that no one knew about. It opens up new ways to play and explore, and that's pretty exciting! It's like they've given us a new tool to make our game worlds even more amazing and detailed. And who knows, maybe these new rules and tools could one day help us understand the actual universe a little better, too! Read the full article

Reporting back... First day of new paid occupation was promising!

(Three cheers for Team Riemann! With sufficient meds we might actually manage to keep this job! Yours truly basically went, "will draw data model for cash?" and they were like, "data model? We need data model. HIRED." )

On the unpaid occupations part... I'm realizing that I'm unlikely to heal from my recent friend breakup by continuing to mull over my huge Tron fic. It is sitting finished in my docs and it IS getting posted, so no worries for those who read it! I still love it and always will. I just... feel I need to brush out the cobwebs and work on something that has fewer bittersweet memories attached.

So... poll time.

Week 8 Follow up interview with Patag ES ICT

On October 18, 2023, our group conducted a follow up interview with Teacher Wella Gaa to learn what are the other processes, types of forms, and reports that the teachers need to prepare and to submit. Teacher Wella is the current ICT at Patag Elementary School and was handling Grade 5 Students.

At first, we are hesitant to approach teacher Wella since she was training some of the students in preparation for palarong pambansa. Luckily, one of the teacher ask her to entertain us since ma'am Gina was not around. During the interview, we've tackled about the process of enrollment which is the parents are asked to fill out the standardize enrollment form from Department of Education(DepEd). After filling out the form teachers will double check all the information before inputting it to the Learners information System(LIS).

Learners Information System(LIS) additionally is an online facility that provides for the registration of learners enrolled in schools run or licensed by the Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines. It is the national registry of all learners in Basic Education.

Going back to the topic, the process of enrolling new, continuing, and transferee students are also discussed during the interview. For transferee and new students, enrollees are asked to submit a copy of birth certificate and School form 9. In addition, teachers Wella also discuss the content of SF1, SF2, SF3, SF4, SF5, SF9, and SF10.

Generally, the interview lasted 30mins and during that time, we had a chance to asked for their school logo and school theme color.

What would You do 

With a one million dollars 

If You get it from lottery or inheritance 

...

..

.

I think I'm about a month away

From proving riemann hypothesis 

A millennial problem

With one million dollars award

...

We will prove it in a month

We will publish it next next month 

That's not a problem 

...

..

.

But hypothetically 

If they award me with one million dollars 

What would I do with it?

...

..

.

Would I marry an 18 year old virgin beautiful slender Asian American lady

And go to a honeymoon vacation in Waikiki Hawaii 

And buy a fancy yacht and private jet airplane 

Limousine 

Fancy mansion

And so on?

...

Well,

Here is a plan, Folks.

...

One million dollars prize for proving riemann hypothesis

50% tax, no problem 

I love federal and state and county and city and local governmental workers

I do want to pay tax

Absolutely 

...

So I got 500,000 dollars left

I did google research 

A TV advertisement costs $10,000.

So I can do 50 prime tv ads. 

For our u.s. presidential campaign in 2024.

So my one million dollars 

Shall evaporate 

In less than a month

...

I love this idea 

...

Was it Mr. Rick Ross?

Who sang about "blowing money fast"?

Even 15 years later, I’m still amazed whenever I think back to how I couldn’t get my Honor’s project approved by the mathematics professor because it was “too much Computer Science,” but the computer science faculty wouldn’t approve it because it was “too much Math.”

Advanced Monitoring of the Zeros of the Riemann Zeta Function

Author: Renato Ferreira da Silva

Description: This module implements a statistical monitoring system for analyzing the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. It combines machine learning techniques, statistical tests, and drift detection methods to identify possible violations of the Riemann Hypothesis.

Main Features:

Precise calculation of zeros using mpmath

Comparative analysis with the GUE distribution

Anomaly detection with AutoML

Continuous monitoring of new zeros

Controlled simulation of deviation scenarios

Usage:

import numpy as np import mpmath import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from scipy.stats import ks_2samp, gamma from sklearn.preprocessing import RobustScaler from tqdm import tqdm import pandas as pd

Global settings

NUM_ZEROS_BASE = 20000 # Zeros for baseline WINDOW_SIZE = 100 # Zeros per analysis NUM_SIMULATIONS = 150 # Simulation iterations

class RiemannMonitor: """Main class for monitoring the zeros of the zeta functionAttributes: baseline (np.array): Normalized spacings of the baseline zeros gue_reference (np.array): Synthetic data from the GUE distribution scaler (RobustScaler): Preprocessor for input data """ def __init__(self): """Initializes the monitor and computes the baseline""" self.baseline = None self.gue_reference = None self.scaler = RobustScaler() self._initialize_system() def _initialize_system(self): """Initial system setup""" print("⏳ Computing baseline zeros...") baseline_zeros = self._calculate_zeros(1, NUM_ZEROS_BASE) self._process_baseline(baseline_zeros) def _calculate_zeros(self, start: int, end: int) -> list: """Computes zeros of the zeta function using mpmath Args: start (int): Index of the first zero end (int): Index of the last zero Returns: list: List of imaginary values of the zeros """ return [float(mpmath.zetazero(n).imag) for n in tqdm(range(start, end+1))] def _process_baseline(self, zeros: list): """Processes the initial zeros and generates the baseline Args: zeros (list): List of computed zeros """ spacings = np.diff(zeros) self.mean_spacing = np.mean(spacings) self.baseline = spacings / self.mean_spacing self.gue_reference = np.random.gamma(1, 1, len(self.baseline)) def analyze_zeros(self, new_zeros: list) -> dict: """Analyzes a new set of zeros Args: new_zeros (list): New zeros to be analyzed Returns: dict: Complete analysis report """ spacings = np.diff(new_zeros) / self.mean_spacing return self._analyze_spacings(spacings) def _analyze_spacings(self, spacings: np.array) -> dict: """Performs a complete analysis of the spacings Args: spacings (np.array): Normalized spacings Returns: dict: Analysis results """ # Statistical analysis statistics = { 'ks_baseline': ks_2samp(self.baseline, spacings), 'ks_gue': ks_2samp(self.gue_reference, spacings), 'moments': { 'mean': np.mean(spacings), 'std_dev': np.std(spacings), 'skewness': gamma.fit(spacings)[0] } } return { 'statistics': statistics }

BRAVO - November 1999

The minor chords of a lonely guitar mix delicately and full of feeling with the roar of the Atlantic waves. Germany's Rammstein guitarist Richard Kruspe composed the enchanted love sounds coming from the loudspeakers of a ghetto blaster for the woman of his heart - soundtrack for the dream wedding of the year. The hard rocker from Berlin stands with the New York model Caron Bernstein in front of the altar erected in the open air. Date : 29 October 1999, 4 p.m. Richard wears a black suit with a white silk tie. You can clearly see his inner movement. There are tears of emotion in his eyes. He doesn't let go of his dark-haired bride's hand, who is standing barefoot in the sand in a super hot, navel-free dress with a white tulle veil at his side. Caron has eyes for only one — her bridegroom. Diagnosis: totally in love. The wedding ceremony is performed by a New York rabbi according to the rites of Carin's Jewish religion. She senses that the couple is threatening to float away on its pink cloud and interrupts her speech with a smile: "You can kiss now. I have the impression that you need that more than my words!” Under the roaring applause of the 100 or so guests, Caron and Richard sink into each other's arms for a long, heartfelt kiss. The outdoor ceremony only lasts about 20 minutes. His vows and promise of loyalty: "I vow to honor and love you until the end of our days," says Richard in German, while Caron, who was born in South Africa, speaks English in her native language. Then the rabbi announces; “Ladies and Gentlemen: Mr. And Mrs. Richard Bernstein!” Richard now bears his wife's name. The love story of the two reads like a rock 'n' roll fairy tale. Last June, Rammstein manager Emu introduced the two to each other after the band performed in New York. ”I would never have thought something like this possible. I looked Caron in the eyes and knew she was the woman of my life!” says Richard. At the beginning of July he confided in BRAVO chief reporter Hannsjörg Riemann: "I will marry Caron in October. You're the first one I tell and hereby invited to the wedding.” Richard kept his promise. However, the honeymoon was postponed. Three days after the wedding, Richard flew back to Berlin to work on the new album with the band. Caron stays in New York where she wants to start her film career. Richard: "We're moving in together next year, whether it's Berlin or New York!”

kepler: - after being told that hera prefers 'hera' and 'she/her', never once deviates from that even when pryce, cutter, and young are calling her 'it' or '214' and insisting that everyone else do the same (including rachel giving him shit for it) - refers to people by their titles and honorifics more than he ever calls them by name or nicknames - defers respectfully to maxwell on AI matters, and puts lovelace in charge of crew discipline - very quickly and naturally accommodates pryce's blindness without comment or complaint in 'crash and burn' - is a hardass and a douchebag, but has probably sat through and designed every conceivable HR training seminar as part of his background of having 'worked in nearly every department' - he WILL make you feel like shit about not turning in your report on time, but any implication that he's a transphobe, misogynist or otherwise bigoted has been repeatedly and explicitly refuted in the canon jacobi: - portrayed minkowski as a vapid airhead in 'all things considered' - repeatedly called for maxwell to replace hera with a dummy program but thought it was really messed up of pryce to do functionally the same thing to humans because he doesn't actually see AIs as people - his clone with his exact same memories and personality called perseus an 'it' (which, all things considered, made me wonder if outside jacobi wasn't the real one) - 'broadway baby' 'pill popper' 'insensitive android' rip to everyone who thinks this man has compassion for other people's struggles, but i actually listened to the podcast eiffel: - literally every episode before shut up and listen, and also shut up and listen hilbert: - literally everything he's said and done to and about hera

my point here isn't that kepler is actually good person and the other men are actually bad people, because even lovelace says some really messed up stuff to hera and so does minkowski (and do i even have to mention young, riemann, cutter and pryce??)

and obviously people are free to have any headcanons they want... but it's just interesting how characters people like and perceive as 'good' seem to get a pass on all the messed up stuff they say and do, while stuff like bigotry is projected on characters like kepler (man from chicago illinois who loves funk and is always hyperaware of the levers of power at play in any situation... but kepler of color is a conversation for another day) who are antagonists, but have always taken care not to dehumanize others

it's 100% a manipulation tactic to get them to trust him and do their work, but i'm ngl, i really enjoy not being dehumanized. if my boss was manipulating me into doing my job by being anti-racist and treating me like a person, i prefer that to bosses and coworkers who mean well but microagress me constantly

i think there's this idea that bad people are bigoted and good people never are, but the truth is that there are plenty of people who are accidentally bigoted but mean well and would never hurt you, and also plenty of people who are always aware of their language around marginalization but who are willing to do heinous things. i'm not making a judgment call here about who's good and who's bad and who's better or worse

but the text of the canon says that kepler and maxwell are the only two people in the cast who never dehumanize hera and always respect the identities and limitations of others (coercion and manipulation are things they do to humans all the time, after all), and that says a lot about their principles even though they're like. bad people who are willing and able to hurt others for their own gain LMAO. that's enough grounds to hate them. why make shit up?
