Holy cow! Elon Musk’s Grok AI literally thinks Trump is a Russia asset. “I estimate a 75-85% likelihood Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end due to the consistency of his behavior and the depth of historical ties.” — Grok x.com/i/grok/share/W…

The Trump-Putin Pact already exists, and we should act accordingly. There are some things we will never change with nice words or smart clothing. If you are worried about those things, you should understand where Trump's tactics come from. From Russia. A thread. 🧵1/14

We didn’t know then that it had all been agreed in advance in the secret Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Today, we have no excuse for such naivety. It’s a safe bet that the Trump-Putin Pact already exists—and we should act accordingly.🧵14/14

Waarom deze voorzichtige formulering? Door het stoppen van wapenleveranties en het onthouden van inlichtingen hebben de Russen nu vrij spel. Russische raketten kunnen nu ongehinderd civiele objecten bestoken. Mogelijk gemaakt door Trump. Dit heet verraad. Niets anders.

Have been watching T&F since '84. As a 10-year old I could not understand how Carl Lewis jumped further than our living room. Most of the time the Dutch never won anything. But today interviews had to be kept short because there were so many gold medalists to talk to. Amazing.

I worked on tandem fluid models 25 years ago. These models are usually abstractions of more complex systems but today I encountered one in real life!

How far would you go to finally get a reaction from an editor after inquiring multiple times about a paper status (submitted 12 months ago). Disclaimer: as editor, I messed up several times; this is not to complain. Am mainly curious. My postdoc advisor has (phone)called editors

After 5 months of struggle I am staring at our beautiful upper bound. Am listening to Grigory Sokolov in the background. Outside, the sun is shining.

Does anyone know whether there an open-source implementation of the holomorphic embedding method to solve the AC power flow equations? Preferably the version where you can provide a nontrivial starting value.

“He died at home, excited about a new math idea he’d just had, held in his wife’s arms.” For a mathematician there’s probably no better way to go. RIP. princeton.edu/news/2025/03/0…

How do you handle outliers caused by heavy tails in an optimal way when you want to estimate (but not overestimate) the mean of a nonnegative random variable? With Bart van Parys, we answer this question in our preprint arxiv.org/abs/2503.21421

Niet terugslaan is het verstandigst als de Amerikanen tarieven afkondigen/verhogen. Schieten we onszelf mee in de voet, zoals Sandra Phlippen uitlegt.⬇️

Never before has an hour of Presidential rhetoric cost so many people so much. Markets continue to move after my previous tweet. The best estimate of the loss from tariff policy is now is closer to $30 trillion or $300,000 per family of four.
