A personal blog by CKY mixing reflections on literature and technology with mathematical notes, such as a reading of Fahrenheit 451 alongside Ted Chiang's essay on AI and art, a piece on Cantor and alleged plagiarism, and a worked proof about Thue-Morse sequences. Readers get short, idiosyncratic essays and exercise write-ups rather than a regular news digest.
