you're not supposed to tell them about cantor's diagonalization until at least age 8
My 4-year/old just learned about the concept of infinity and is now throwing a tantrum over it. “It’s weird! I don’t like it. I just want numbers to stop!”

For me, what comes to mind is:
Anything incompleteness/diagonalization shaped
Complex numbers
Entropy
Bayes' theorem

called this girl to tell her about a time i got on a level in clustertruck and she starts talking to me about Cantor's Diagonalization Argument and why she believes the proof is wrong. what.

it makes sense that cantor's argument about the diagonal gets called diagonalization but it's rly weird to me that other arguments that have nothing to do with diagonals also get called diagonalization

This is just Cantor Diagonalization but I'm on datura and don't know what diagonal means anymore

Now on Arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2608.10029 Led by grad student Matthew Giammar and collaborator Alex Strang, we provide a fast algorithm to calculate a low rank approximation to large (>100 million row) matrices with high fidelity that will accelerate template matching.
A fast diagonalization algorithm to enable singular value decomposition of large matrices for efficient template matching
Many computational problems possess the following three features: (1) the problem could be solved efficiently if a linear operator could be diagonalized, (2) direct diagonalization is infeasible due t...

Cantor's diagonalization argument is my go to when people ask how math can be beautiful, it's so wild

There’s an esoteric math thing that’s actually important to computers and philosophy called Cantor’s Diagonalization Proof (aka Argument) that proves there are an infinite infinities and they’re all different. Unrelated: Cantor famously went insane.

What exactly? Both arguments use diagonalization and self-reference to expose limits of formal procedures.

If we map possible training data as well as input and output data of models to natural numbers (i.e. Gödel numbers), learning algorithms appear as programs enumerating total functions on natural numbers. There is a simple diagonalization proof showing that such enumerations are always incomplete.
