Hey I finally posted the strings paper!

[sniffnoy]

You can go read it here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.03199

I'm not going to bother trying to summarize this one, you can go read it. Hopefully soon Alakh writes his follow-up that will cover the case of strings of length less than ω^ω, rather than just strings of length less than ω^k, like I did here?

(Back in March of last year when I was in Belgium, and he told me how he did it, I was like, how did I miss it! It's so simple! But I did miss it, so, I'm doing ω^k and he's taking ω^ω.)

Next paper in the pipeline will probably be the one on Zeckendorf addition, I've been convinced I need to get that out quickly, although I still haven't heard back from Sophie MacDonald, hm, I guess I didn't write about that here, but, uh, there's a thing she says she has a proof of which it would be very helpful to me if she actually does!

After that... oy, too much to write, too little time to write it in... well, I'll figure something out... (I also should, like, start looking for a new job soon probably...)

(Um, unrelatedly, we're down to just 179 books left to give away!)

There's some other stuff I've been meaning to write about, but, uh, I'll get to that some other time...
