If you want to be buddies I'm kalloway there as well.

Breaking character for a moment, because the Mastodon instance my bots are running on is shutting down soon. https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/

Does anyone have recommendations for well-run instances that bot accounts are welcome to migrate to?

Here we go, down to the wire! only a couple days left to pick out your Shortbox Comics Fair comics! What are you bringing home with you this year?

Be sure to check this thread above and below for our suggestions and interviews with some of the co-op members who have comics at the fair this year!

I joined #WritingMonth!! I still haven't decided on a project and goal yet, but it's nice just to see writers starting a new community away from (redacted)! If you're doing this too, let's be friends!!

Hey friends, it's hard to write this, but it's time to retire botsin.space. I wrote a post about it here: https://muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/29/10-29-rip-botsin-space/

TLDR the site will go read-only on or around December 15th.

I'm so thankful for all the support and good times here ❤️ thanks everyone

Two students who discovered a novel proof of the Pythagorean theorem in 2022 have wowed the math community again with nine completely new solutions to the problem.

While still in high school, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson from Louisiana used trigonometry to prove the 2,000-year-old Pythagorean theorem, which states that the sum of the squares of a right triangle's two shorter sides are equal to the square of the triangle's longest side (the hypotenuse).

Mathematicians had long thought that using trigonometry to prove the theorem was unworkable, given that the fundamental formulas for trigonometry are based on the assumption that the theorem is true.

Jackson and Johnson came up with their "impossible" proof in answer to a bonus question in a school math contest.
They presented their work at an American Mathematical Society meeting in 2023, but the proof hadn't been thoroughly scrutinized at that point.

Now, a new paper published Monday (Oct. 28) in the journal American Mathematical Monthly shows their solution held up to peer review.
Not only that, but the two students also outlined nine more proofs of the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry.
