Topology1··on The Ü Programming Language
I find the "Why choosing Ü?" table to be particularly amusing. Just cherry-picked language features where Ü happens to achieve all of them!
Topology1··on Age verification for social media, the beginning of the end for a free internet?
"Will the police stop and search people on the street looking for unauthorized phones? Prison sentences for buying a non-state computer on the black market? Charges of organized crime for smuggling in containers of open-source software on USB sticks?"

Come on, do people seriously believe this will happen?

Topology1··on Humans have disproved the sum-product conjectures for real numbers
The sum-product conjecture asks: for any finite set of real numbers, must at least one of the sumset or the product set have size at least

It was posed by Erdős and Szemerédi in 1983. This paper constructs a clever counterexamples using high degree number fields with bounded root discriminant.

Topology1··on Claude Opus 4.8
Haven't tried it in Claude Code yet, but I would say over on claude.ai it is noticeably better at following instructions.
Topology1··on I made a million dollar product from my dorm room (2025)
This is cool, but honestly, I find it hard to believe that 50,000 units were sold.
Topology1··on Ferrari Luce
What made Ferrari think it was a good idea to have the guy who killed the headphone jack and shipped the butterfly keyboard design their first EV?
Topology1··on CBP Directive 3340-049B: Border Search of Electronic Devices
Is this not old? Since then they have also required all social media to be public.
Topology1··on Byrne's Euclid
Perhaps I'm alone on this, but I find all the different colors and diagrams distracting rather than helpful. It feels cluttered to me.
Topology1··on Polsia Raises $30M as Its AI Autonomously Runs 7,600 Businesses
Not sure, it's name is literally "ai slop" backwards.
Topology1··on Meta Settles School Suit over Social Media, Averting Trial
Absolutely ridiculous. Meta has been a major player in destroying an entire generation's attention spans, self-esteem, and childhood. They will never be held accountable for their actions.
Topology1··on Show HN: I made a tool for learning scales, chords, and how to combine them
What makes it look like AI to you? Not trying to be rude, just personally don't see it.
Topology1··on An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry
As someone starting grad school for pure mathematics, this has me both excited and nervous, but mainly the latter...
Topology1··on SpaceX S-1
Am I stupid for not knowing SpaceX's official name is Space Exploration Technologies Corp.?
Topology1··on Google changes its search box
This might just do irreversible damage to my parents' generation. They already trust the AI overview with all of the thinking and synthesizing after making a search, and this will only make it worse.
Topology1··on Show HN: Forge – Guardrails take an 8B model from 53% to 99% on agentic tasks
The dashboard github link appears to be broken
Topology1··on Write some software, give it away for free
Wish there was a way to send this to every mobile dev who thinks they can (and should) charge a subscription for their hobby app that provides a basic function
