You, a tech startup with millions in angel finance: made an app to turn handwritten maths into TeX.
Me, just the worst kind of smart alec: convinced a pen #plotter to turn TeX into handwritten maths

@christianp Hah, I love it! This reminds me of my favorite (bad) joke to tell to mathematicians. I have never failed to get an eye-roll. You go through the anecdote setup of Ramanujan and Hardy in the back of the taxi, but the cab number is 4. Hardy remarks it's a boring number, and Ramanujan says "no, it's the smallest number that can be written as the sum of two positive integers in two different ways."

Rediscovered this intriguingly spare OEIS entry: https://oeis.org/A033875
You'll never guess what the 22nd term is!
I've had no takers, so here's a big hint:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,...
1,2,1,3,4,2,5,6,3,7,8,4,...
1,2,1,3,1,4,2,5,6,2,3,7,8,4,3,...
What's the next term in this sequence?
1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, 2, 5, 1, 6, 2, 3, 7, 8, 4, 3, 1, 9, 2, 10, 5
What's the pattern?
(the paper is Bill Gosper's "Rectangle Arithmetic", by the way - http://gosper.org/rectarith12.pdf)
Using https://what-colour-is-that.glitch.me/ to decode a paper which assumes much more colour vision than I have.
Even though I made the app, I still don't believe those colours are different!
I played around with DALL•E Mini (now craiyon) - an AI image generator. I asked it to generate images of mathematics and mathematicians and some related topics and variants. Some results, some thoughts: https://aperiodical.com/2022/06/what-does-craiyon-dall%c2%b7e-mini-think-mathematics-and-mathematicians-look-like/
The thing about large language models like GPT-3 and Lambda describing the experience of being self-aware is they can also describe the experience of being a squirrel.

Neil Sloane, creater of the OEIS, has a blog!
He's started with a post about a really interesting integer sequence, and a call for help with it: https://njas.blog/2022/06/03/the-two-up-sequence-a090252/
