@austen.uk you're gonna love this

Could you give me a a few-sentence teaser of why?

That's pretty good

Does this include AlphaFold?

In somebody else's words:

Optimal recovery for quantum error correction The calculation of the error threshold of quantum error correcting codes typically proceeds as follows. First, syndromes are measured. Then, a decoder infers the error chain and the corresponding corr...

Is measuring syndromes then using a decoder to infer the most likely error the best thing to do when trying to do quantum error correction? I prove cases where it is, where it isn't, and how to find the optimal threshold. Happy to get this out: let me know what you think! scirate.com/arxiv/2603.0...

Hey, firstly, amazing site. Secondly, I've been trying to use this site to find people I'd like to follow. It would be amazing to be able to drag a selection through an area to see the names and descriptions within the selection to find people to follow! Just a suggestion :)

Hey look it's good news

Can all operators be vectorised, or is there only a certain class which can be?

In 1874, Georg Cantor published one of the most important papers in math’s 4,000-year history. The ideas in it were stolen. 🧵

I think Twitter probably had better algorithms. Here, if your posts don't get engaged within ~1 day then it goes to the nether, whereas on Twitter it seemed to go around a bit more. The feed being more chronological probably has to do with it.

what's a plasma cutter?

Yeah but really just two sizes right

MEGATRON ASSEMBLE

oh, two is the only even prime? golly! three is the only threeven prime. five is the only fiven prime. pretty cool!

Congrats for passing as Terence Tao!

I think this isn't your paper! (though it's easy enough to see in the picture)

what is pf?

If one is mainly interested in gender proportions, wouldn't it be better to just do one with 0 to 1 on the y axis? Presented this way it's not super clear to me what's happening with the proportions

Thought I proved something last week. Got shown a fatal flaw by my collaborator on Monday, got very disappointed and came up with another proof on Tuesday and sent it off to just to realise myself it was also wrong. Now I think I have a legit proof but what a rollercoaster it's been 😅 (and no sleep)

What did you think it meant?!

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

What does KaHypar do?

hahahaha

A question: In your recent posts, you showed that there is (good ?) progress in rep code. Why is rep code a good metric for progress? It can't protect against phase-flip errors, right? Wouldn't it make sense to track codes that can protect against arbitrary noise. Is it just that there's no data?
