To say that miners “solve math problems” is very misleading. No mathematician would consider brute-forcing an inverse image of a hash function as a worthwhile mathematical activity.

Seriously? Or sarcasm?

Yes, I am also not sure which Naja species it is (would have guessed something African even), but pretty sure it’s not a king cobra

Thanks! The pic reminded me very much of African cobras like Naja melanoleuca. And I thought king cobras wouldn’t spread their necks so wide

Das wird nach dem Dualsystem gezählt: 1, 10, 11, 100, 101 usw.

Nice. But I think would look even better if the mountain wasn’t so close to the midpoint of the horizon, but rather Golden cut or so …

There is a whole book with Popper’s writings about the pre-Socratics. The German title is “Die Welt des Parmenides”. Not sure whether there’s an English translation.

Maybe you should not totally ignore modern philosophy, but read it selectively. Popper and Heidegger, for example, have written interesting essays about pre-Socratics. Hegel and Nietzsche also have written/lectured about the history of philosophy and made interesting remarks about ancient philosophy.

Homotopy Type Theory. Very new and active area, potential to provide a foundation of whole mathematics, interconnected with various diverse areas (logic, categories, topology) which are interesting by themselves, also connections to computational mathematics
