A prime gap is the difference between two successive prime numbers. A twin prime is a prime that has a prime gap of two. The twin prime conjecture states that there are infinitely many twin primes. In May 2013, the popular Yitang Zhang's paper was accepted by the journal Annals of Mathematics where it was announced that for some integer N that is less than 70 million, there are infinitely many pairs of primes that differ by N. A few months later, James Maynard gave a different proof of Yitang Zhang's theorem and showed that there are infinitely many prime gaps with size of at most 600. A collaborative effort in the Polymath Project, led by Terence Tao, reduced to the lower bound 246 just using Zhang and Maynard results. In this note, using arithmetic operations, we prove that the twin prime conjecture is true.

@rabble @kristian I have been arguing strongly that the Fediverse does not need encrypted DM's and that this function should be outsourced to chat apps.

Implementing encrypted DM's rases the bar on sever admins/codebases to be more security consues and capable... currently they do not have to be as practically everything is in the #open, security is a white lie.

Gronwall's function \(G\) is defined for all natural numbers \(n>1\) by \(G(n)=\frac{\sigma(n)}{n \cdot \log \log n}\) where \(\sigma(n)\) is the sum of the divisors of \(n\) and \(\log\) is the natural logarithm. We require the properties of extremely abundant numbers, that is to say left to right maxima of \(n \mapsto G(n)\). We also use the colossally abundant and hyper abundant numbers. There are several statements equivalent to the famous Riemann hypothesis. We state that the Riemann hypothesis is true if and only if there exist infinitely many consecutive colossally abundant numbers \(N< N'\) such that \(G(N)< G(N')\). In addition, we prove that the Riemann hypothesis is true when there exist infinitely many hyper abundant numbers \(n\) with any parameter \(u > 1\). We claim that there could be infinitely many hyper abundant numbers with any parameter \(u > 1\) and thus, the Riemann hypothesis would be true.

My experience of [mainly other] #SocialMedia outlets has been that people tend to post about how great their lives are, even when their lives are crap, or they’re feeling crap, and it’s all just a huge mask they’re wearing. Which is of course their prerogative, and I have been guilty of doing the same.

I sometimes still do, I think, although to a much lesser extent than previously. There’s a fine line between being open and honest and oversharing. I’m aiming for #open and #honest.

The assumption that Apple devices last longer is a complete bullshit.

I had a MacBook pro which I bought in 2012, died two years ago. While my husband has a pentium laptop now with Linux installed which is snappy as hell and works great, with the last versions of updated software.

I guess is nice to fill the landfill with apple garbage since they own the hardware AND the OS software. Easy to program the obsolescence...

The European Union backs non-commercial academic publishing, and discourages open access fees on publication of the research it funds.

I am very interested in the "diamond" open access model, where publication happens on platforms directly run by the funding institution. I proposed to publish our latest paper on Open Research Europe, but my co-authors disagreed on the grounds of "normal" journal articles being better for findings jobs. https://www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-europe-infrastructure-2023-5-eu-ready-to-back-immediate-open-access-without-author-fees/

@informapirata Non sono un esperto in materia. Credo di essermi iscritto all'istanza principale nel 2018 quando, da entusiasta #FLOSS e critico/perplesso nei confronti di Twitter in tempi meno sospetti di oggi, cercavo un'alternativa. Non ho finora trovato il tempo (o una ragione sufficiente) per spostarmi su altra istanza, cosa per cui mi autocritico. Non ho il tempo che vorrei per procedere nella mia purificazione informatica.

Da entusiasta per ciò che è #open e/o #libre e/o #federato, sono per le piccole istanze (analogamente a quando preferisco il negozietto a conduzione individuale alla grande distribuzione o alle vendite online).
Da utente o come osservatore "esterno" credo che, perché un prodotto raggiunga significativa diffusione anche tra l'utenza inesperta e non interessata ai retroscena politici e tecnologici, serva una proposta a basso carico cognitivo e pressoché nullo come sforzo iniziale. Un pinco pallino poco tecnologico e ignorante di quante e quali istanza esistano, al momento della registrazione troverà più semplice registrarsi ad una istanza suggerita; abbassa un po' la pendenza di una curva di apprendimento ancora da iniziare.
Mi viene da fare un'analogia con un #Ubuntu di quindici anni fa: sicuramente non duro e puro, ma più semplice ed intuitivo di altre distro (che uso tuttora anche se più volte le scelte di #Canonical mi han portato ad un passo dal cambio di OS)... tanto che riuscii a farlo utilizzare per un certo tempo a persone che di computer non ne sapevano nulla.

Credo serva una buona dose di pragmatismo per anelare ad un break even point rispetto ai grandi attori. E non prescindere dalla realtà in cui ci si vorrebbe inserire.

Uso mastodon.social e Ubuntu, ma periodicamente sostengo l'istanza #friendica che mi ospita e #debian. Certo da solo, non faccio statistica.

Aperto ovviamente a commenti e critiche (ripeto, non sono un esperto)! 👽

Better Sharing #open #sharing https://www.downes.ca/post/75172
Last November Creative Commons posed a question to 12 prominent global open advocates: "What does better sharing for a brighter future look like to you?" I was not one of the advocates in question, but I do have opinions. So I thought I'd comment on each of the 12 visions articulated.

@radicalaipod @shengokai I wonder if this is an #USAmerican thing or why I couldn't find any of the words "#free" or "#open" in the whole talk? Isn't one of the main advantages of the #fediverse and #activitypub (#mastodon ...) it's #foss! You are not only allowed to have your own instance, you are encouraged(!) to have one.

Complex systems are usually open systems — that is, they exist in a thermodynamic gradient and dissipate energy. In other words, complex systems are frequently far from energetic equilibrium: but despite this flux, there may be pattern stability,[5] see synergetics.

Wrapping up our #EverythingOpen Speaker Spotlight is @kattekrab, Product Lead of the @PracticeLibrary@twitter.com at #RedHat
- who challenges us:

Our default #open, #agile, #hybrid and #distributed ways of working now power the world.

But not everything is open and not all change is good. How should we keep pursuing #inclusive, #positive change?

Great to see this article from @kevinschaul about how the Washington Post replaced Mapbox with MapLibre, OpenMapTiles, PMTiles, and a bunch of other #opensource and #opendata projects! Makes me incredibly proud of what this new #open #GIS world is becoming.

Psst. Hey you, remember that blog of yours? I looked at it. You last updated it in 2018 or maybe 2015. I dunno. it's been a while.

Things have changed since then…

Op de @utrechtuniversity draaien we een driedelig programma van intervisiesessies met de titel 'Wetenschappers in de Publieke Arena'. Om in de geest te blijven van #openscience en #openeducation hebben we besloten de slides en lesbrief daarvan #open aan te bieden.

De eerste sessie staat nu online op Edusources, laat me weten wat je ervan denkt en of je het kunt gebruiken!

What are the best practices for incorporating #OpenSource best practices within an organization? Interesting thoughts from #Boeing at #SOOCon23

What can we do to encourage developers to contribute back to the #FreeSoftware libraries that they are using?

How do we extend #Open thinking to #design, #content & #culture of our organizations?

Nice reminder about all the people who have put together events like #soocon23

So good to see both #Diversity & #OpenSource as #ForceMultipliers

We can learn so much more by being #Open & making sure we are more #inclusive.

I’ve added 12 bookcases so far, all in Amsterdam Oost. Now it looks like there are no bookcases in Amsterdam Zuid. Are those misers really that greedy over there‽

I have very mixed feelings about #ChatGPT and related large language models (LLMs). They are certainly a cool tool, but I also currently don't believe that these "stochastic parrots" will easily replace search, article/paper writing, coding, and similar tasks. That is, they can be used to augment, but not replace those human activities - at least in the near future.

One more specific example is #Github #Copilot: I am impressed by the code suggested with small "query blocks", either in the form of method signatures or even just comments. While I wouldn't ever just Tab-complete that code into a production codebase (and I hope others also shy away from it), using it as a smarter auto-complete can be a total time-saver. While still learning #Rust, I find it a great tool to provide me with correct syntax while I try to express the semantic concepts in my head. That is, the #VSCode + #Copilot + #rustanalyzer based workflow is a magnitude faster than what I can achieve, at my current level of competence with #Rust, with any other IDE.
However, on the conceptual level, its suggestions range from spot-on (supposedly for parts that have been used in the same form in many Github projects already) to "terrible, awful, don't even think about it". Don't trust the concepts generated by #Copilot, but for getting a concept into correct syntax, it can be a great help.

I find the same to be true of #ChatGPT: it produces correct (human language) syntax, but its concepts on a semantic level are more random than anything else. It doesn't have a reasonable world model, and without such a world model, even internal consistency of statements (let alone factual validity in alignment with what we consider the real world) is darn hard (impossible?) to achieve. It's currently a toy, and should only be used for toy purposes.
On that note, the best use I could personally find for #ChatGPT is to reply to spammers, who operate on a comparable level of factual and consistent concepts (i.e., #BS): https://github.com/rmayr/chatgpt-email

Maybe #ReinforcementLearning will at some point allow LLMs to be factually more accurate, including the ability to cite sources. I don't know, as I'm not an expert in this field. But the current #UnsupervisedLearning approaches with just scraping massive amounts of (syntax, but not semantic) web content seem fundamentally flawed to me.

On a sidenote, if the #OpenAI mission is really to "ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity", shouldn't the trained models be, erm, #open (source)? After all, the training data is publicly generated, so it seems more beneficial to humanity if the derivations are also #open for building upon them.

what is everyone using for an #EmailClient these days? The #gmail interface seems to be languishing a bit and I'm thinking an actual client application might be nice.

Couple options I'm seeing are #postbox, #mailbird, #mailspring, #sparkmail and #thunderbird.

I've used thunderbird on and off over the last 15-20 years.

I prefer #Open Source (!=free) options but if a closed, commercial app soars about all others, I'm not philosophically entrenched.

@cancel Let’s take this moment to really appreciate the fact that free and open operating systems like Linux distributions release the latest versions of their source code every day.

@viticci Ten years ago, they’d shut the gate and limited them in size (https://techcrunch.com/2012/08/16/twitter-api-client-apps/). Looks like Elon’s finally locked it completely.

(An API key for a proprietary service is a key to a gate you don’t own. And it’s as much in the nature of a gate to be open as it is to be shut and locked.)

Last week, Gizmodo's Linda Codega caught a fantastic scoop - a leaked report of #Hasbro's plan to revoke the decades-old #OpenGamingLicense, which subsidiary #WizardsOfTheCoast promulgated as an allegedly #open sandbox for people seeking to extend, remix or improve #DungeonsAndDragons:

A remixed version of David Trampier's 'Eye of Moloch,' the cover of the first edition of the AD&D Player's Handbook. It has been altered so the title reads 'Advanced Copyright Fuckery. Unclear on the Concept. That's Just Not How Licenses Work. No, Seriously.' The eyes of the idol have been replaced by D20s displaying a critical fail '1.' Its chest bears another D20 whose showing face is a copyright symbol.

3/ imho, #liberals often laugh at the closemindedness of their #conservative opponents, but in my experience living in both circles the #hubris is rank across the spectrum...and even writing this I feel the whisper in my ear, "Are you simply speaking from your own hubris?"

So this is my (hopefully) humble plea for an environment that is #safe but also #open.
