Beyond Euclid #223

Welcome to Beyond Euclid #223, the newsletter for the best mathematics and science stuff of the week. I am Ali, and I curate cool math and science stuff every week to help you have a better week.

Hello from Beyond Euclid 223. This week's issue moves around a lot. Einstein's handwriting, a whale that didn't make it, rice reaching its thermal limit, New Orleans slowly losing its fight against the sea, developers who feel AI is making them worse at their jobs. There's lighter stuff too — synchronized fireflies you can only see if you win a lottery, 10 minutes of creatures from the deep ocean, a tool that pulls color palettes from famous paintings.

Still free, still weekly. If it’s earned a place in your routine, a paid subscription on Substack or a contribution on Patreon is the most direct way to keep it going. If that’s not for you right now, forwarding it to one person who’d actually appreciate it does more than you’d think.
