Beautiful article. Reading this after having mixed feeling and honestly a bit depressed about the Navier-Stokes situation feels almost like therapy, and I had to try really hard to hold back tears.
The Riverside Park has always been beautiful but particularly this time of year. Maybe I should pay a visit again, sitting on a bench thinking thoughts.

Beautiful story.

Very lovely story. As noted in the article I couldn't help but feel it was a mirror to the story of Ramanujan.

What a great story! I'm not sure why I felt teary eyed reading it, but I was. If you're here in the comments but haven't read it -- it is worth the read.
In spite of it all I do love human obsessives, with all their charming inefficiencies. This made me want to work as hard as I can on something important to me. I’m going to spend the night reading poems. And a great reminder of the value of a good mentor

Such a nice story to take us out of the news cycle of ai in math

This is such a contrast to current OpenAI controversy: https://bbc.com/news/articles/cy7zygy3rl2o

This is possibly more exciting and of more future value than solving Navier Stokes.
It also shows us a way, when it seems we are lost.
