I know, right? I sat in a similar train last time I went to Kyoto. Have you seen the mechanism that turns the seats in the carriage to face in the direction of travel? Japanese trains are awesome.
Even the tech bro bullshit machines agree on that one. Here is Gemini: "This image definitely skips the medical degree and goes straight for the messianic iconography. [...] the visual language is pulled directly from traditional religious art rather than a hospital hallway."

Wait until they suggest that AI should do the reporting as well... 🙁

Last week, Cardiff University hosted the latest meeting of Operator Algebras in the South, which is a regional network bringing together researchers in operator algebras and related areas across the South of the UK. We had a fantastic line-up of speakers and were funded by the LMS and the INI.

Two strips of paper glued together to form two Möbius strips.
The two Möbius strips glued together back to back.
Cut both strips open along the middle circle. The picture shows what this looks like when you cut the first strip open.

Happy (topological) Valentines Day!
Mad Ridley?
Happy Birthday, Ben!

Not sure either. Let's just never have Nazis again.
So I am not sure who was worse.
![According to Schappacher (letter in Mathematical Intelligencer 1996) it was most certainly him [Ernst Witt] and not Oswald Teichmüller, who attended Emmy Noether's private seminar held in her house while wearing his SA-uniform.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ctd2x4podwsterryenqvvkb4/bafkreiga4bwd3ziwiqfwtlcnp66j5vg5kaf5vfvbdbrolbi55gtptf2vjq)

The Wikipedia footnotes for Ernst Witt have this about him:
There is also Teichmüller 😬

Oh, so this is not 2-vector spaces a la Kapranov and Voevodsky?
TA's would be very helpful.
I am half-way through my pile of 200 exams and feel already completely drained. How do you manage 400?

KI-generiertes Fake-Bild eines KZ-Häftlings, dazu der Text "Dieses Bild wurde mit KI generiert" davor der Text "Fake-KI-Bilder verzerren Geschichte."
Das gleiche Bild, davor der Text: "Das ist schlimm für Angehörige. Und es unterdrückt vielfältige Stimmen. Echte historische Fotos aus den Lagern sind eine Rarität und oftmals Propagandabilder."
Das gleiche Bild, davor der Text: "Wir fordern eine deutlich sichtbare Kennzeichnungspflicht von KI in den Sozialen Medien. Wir wünschen uns in der Bildung einen stärkeren Fokus auf Medien- und KI-Kompetenz."
Das gleiche Bild, davor der Text: "Was du konkret tun kannst: Like und teile diese Beiträge nicht. Melde sie. Folge den Accounts von Gedenkstätten und Lernorten, die recherchebasierte Geschichten erzählen."
Gedenkstätten, Lernorte, Museen und Archive haben einen offenen Brief veröffentlicht: „𝗞𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗩𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗴𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗞𝗜-𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗳ä𝗹𝘀𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘂𝗳 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮-𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻“. Hier geht es zum ganzen Text: www.gedenkstaetten-hamburg.de/de/aktuelles...
