I trace connections between Bollywood stars and Kevin Bacon using the Oracle of Bacon. Similar to the Erdos number, this concept applies to consulting; I found I have a Bruce Henderson number of 3.
The University of Virginia computes the Bacon Number for any actor, similar to the Erdos number in mathematics. We trace the acting links of Shahrukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and even Prabhu Deva to Kevin Bacon. (BCG did the same for consultants who have worked together, and it turns out that I have a Bruce Henderson number of 3.)
I built a visualization showing how an OpenAI model disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture. The model found a point construction where unit distances compound at approximately 1.4%, far exceeding the previously predicted near-zero growth rate.
I shared a link to a blog campaigning for Bruce to get a Gmail invite. Google invited early Blogger users to the beta but excluded newer ones, a situation I can definitely empathize with.
I analyzed my site traffic and discovered a direct correlation between the number of posts and total visits, calculating that each blog entry I write generates an average of 12 hits for my website.
I’m sharing a tip to find your phone's unique serial number by dialing *#06#. Providing this IMEI to your service provider can block a stolen handset permanently, making it useless to thieves even if they swap the SIM card.
I explore why certain "proofs" that 1=2 fail, focusing on the danger of rearranging non-absolutely convergent series like the log 2 expansion. I explain how the Riemann series theorem allows divergent series to sum to different values.
