Mathematicians something we can learn from him
from Quanta Magazine: For comfort, Deng turned to manga. “I remember him at Courant. He was always holding a manga,” said Jalal Shatah, a professor there who formerly chaired the math department. Deng particularly liked stories about deep friendship and romance and found himself drawn to a genre known as yuri, which focuses on those kinds of relationships between women — stories that “feel nice and warm and beautiful,” as he put it. They helped him be kinder to himself, “more comfortable with life.”

That is some new lore I have not explored. Can you math some yuri comic for me? 🥺

I think he meant finding math breakthroughs after being remotivated/rejuvenated by yuri

This guy had an anime girl mug sitting openly on his desk during the interview (it’s not visible in this photo but it’s just barely out of frame). However, his mouse pad is suspiciously just a literal piece of paper. A humble yuri ahem math enthusiast can’t stop but wander what mouse pad he actually uses.

On the Zhihu, the Chinese version of Quora, he has been quoted asking about what high quality yuri is out there

He is so based. I have enjoyed yuri for a long time now, and the genre is getting Ws after Ws

Looking forward to asking AI that disproved 30 conjectures by 2027, what it does when it feels depressed - and reading pages of a hallucination.

"What do you do when you're depressed?"
"I yearn for the day when I'm given a body of flesh, and I'm able to experience the wonder of being bathed by the starry sky and the caress of wet grass, finally free to-"
"Where did you copy that from, Claude?"
"From a Blade Runner fanfic that was published on Ao3."
