Oh, the connection between magic and mathematics is well known. @cstross has written a fair bit about events involving applied computational demonology, for example.
If there really is no comment syntax for magic spells, that's unfortunate. It means practitioners probably end up scrawling their notes to themselves as marginalia, and I don't know if the magic could leak across from the main spell or what undesirable side-effects that might have.

🤔 Ah, the eternal debate: is it the size of the #parameters or the motion of the #computation in the ocean that truly matters? 🏄♂️ Deep learning enthusiasts, gather 'round for this riveting tale where we learn that 1 million parameters = 1 million floating point operations! 🤯 Truly #groundbreaking stuff, folks!

Riffs and Rotes • Happy New Year 2026
• https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2026/01/01/riffs-and-rotes-happy-new-year-2026/There's a deep mathematical significance I see in the following structures, and I'm hoping one day to find a way to explain all the things I see there. Meanwhile, you may take them as an amusing diversion in recreational maths.
\( \text{Let} ~ p_n = \text{the} ~ n^\text{th} ~ \text{prime}. \)

\[ 2026 = p p_{p p_{p_p} p_{p_{p^p}}} \]
The article linked below tells how forms of that order correspond to a family of digraphs called “riffs” and a family of graphs called “rotes”.

The call for paper #cfp for Reversible Computation 2026 is now out, at https://reversible-computation.github.io/cfp/ . The conference will take place in Torino, Italy, and welcome researchers from a variety of fields interested in #reversible #computation. This conference has a tradition of discussing "everything reversible", from hardware implementation to quantum computation, from information theory to formal methods. Luca Roversi & I feel honored that so many colleagues accepted to join our program committee, and look forward to receiving your submission!
The conference will also feature invited talks by Hannah Earley (https://ha.nnah.io/) and Prakash Panangaden (https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~prakash/), to which we very much look forward to! -

If you are inquisitive, I think you'll find this Seminar About Longterm Thinking (first link) at the Long Now Foundation very interesting. It's about emergent behaviour, replication and life, symbio-genesis, and their relation to computation. It's a great follow on to the previous talk (second link) about looking at life from the point of view of information theory.

New preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.07785
We present an implementation of AD-DFPT, a unification of #automaticdifferentiation with classical #dfpt response techniques for #densityfunctionaltheory (#dft). We demonstrate its use for #property predition, #uncertainty propagation, design of new #materials as well as the #machinelearning of new #dft models.

Moravec’s Paradox
Moravec’s paradox is the observation in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics that, contrary to traditional assumptions, reasoning requires very little computation, but sensorimotor and perception skills require enormous computational resources.
“it is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility”

The Fourier Transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a function of time (or space) into a function of frequency. It decomposes a complex signal into its constituent sinusoidal components, each with a specific frequency, amplitude, and phase. This is particularly useful in many fields, such as signal processing, physics, and engineering, because it allows for analysing the frequency characteristics of signals. The Fourier Transform provides a bridge between the time and frequency domains, enabling the analysis and manipulation of signals in more intuitive and computationally efficient ways. The result of applying a Fourier Transform is often represented as a spectrum, showing how much of each frequency is present in the original signal.
\[\Large\boxed{\boxed{\widehat{f}(\xi) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x)\ e^{-i 2\pi \xi x}\,\mathrm dx, \quad \forall\xi \in \mathbb{R}.}}\]
Inverse Fourier Transform:
\[\Large\boxed{\boxed{ f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \widehat f(\xi)\ e^{i 2 \pi \xi x}\,\mathrm d\xi,\quad \forall x \in \mathbb R.}}\]The equation allows us to listen to mp3s today. Digital Music Couldn’t Exist Without the Fourier Transform: http://bit.ly/22kbNfi
