The psycho zeta buckdown.

The twin prime conjecture and the Riemann hypothesis have long remained two of the long-standing conundrums in number theory.
And now they are solvéd? And the latter for a pretty purse?

Louis de Branges of Purdue University has published a paper, not yet peer-reviewed, claiming to solve the Riemann hypothesis.

De Branges is perhaps best known for solving another trenchant problem in mathematics, the Bieberbach conjecture, about 20 years ago.

Something I hope to understand in a few days

Took in a screening of Lars von Trier's latest, The Five Obstructions. This pits the idiosyncratic Danish director against Jørgen Leth, whom he cudgels into directing short films. Each film is a permutation of Leth's early short, The Perfect Human, with constraints imposed by Trier.

Permutation of music, film, and painting intrigues me: as Mark E. Smith records many versions of the same song, changing the pace, wording, instrumentation (Slang King#2), so did Michelangelo sculpt many slaves, so did El Greco paint many gentlemen of quality.
