Nerd sniped myself this time: after getting sniped yesterday with showing that for primes `p >= 5` that `24 | p^2 - 1`, I decided to look at primes `p, q` where `p, q >= 5` and see if `24 | p^2 - q^2`.

Most of the math I know beyond "business calculus" is math I picked up in grad school (economics) or taught myself later. I'm constantly reminded there are gaps in my knowledge. For example, trigonometry doesn't come up much in economics or statistics. (1/n)

So there's a #Mastodon instance for people that are into #math called mathstodon… and that instance allows users to use #LaTeX.

Yay, got nerd sniped with another math problem. I made it a smidge more difficult than it should've been, but I'm happy that I got the correct answer eventually.
The problem: Given `1 / tan(x) = tan(1 / x)`, solve for `x`.

If Gauß had had an electronic calculator, would he have proved better and more theorems or weaker and fewer?
It would have spared him days and days of rote calculation but maybe this calculation was prerequisite for insight?

OK, but the results are still just paper links, not what the LLM thinks about them. So the only thing that changed is that it is much much slower now?
Maybe the LLM just formulates a query to the old scholar? Too many layers of "oh how can we build an LLM into this"...
OK, nobody in #math uses Google Scholar like this anyway. We only use it look at publication records of people and do reverse citation search (which papers cite this one I have).
