51 years old. He barely had HALF a career.
>>17048918Another day another lazy Tao bad thread. God I love this place.
>>17048921I love Tao, retard.
His new career is bitching about AI.
>>17048928Parasocial relationships aren't real, anon.
>>17048935>aren't realThen why do I have so many of them?Checkmate, materialist.[goes outside to the back proch and lights up the grill][max volume so I can hear your clapback]B^)
>>17048937>max volumehttps://youtu.be/q81I5fpdI1QTennis is his "other" passion, you would know this if you were his friend.
Tao doesn't deserve his reputation among the best contemporary mathematicians. He's aged well and doesn't look it but he's now 50 years old so his career is basically over. The only thing he really did was compressed sensing which is an applied math topic. Every single thing he's done he worked with coauthors extensively including that but is only remembered for it because of a reddit personality cult. He almost failed his quals in analysis and didn't even know the fundamental solution of Laplace's equation but was pushed through the program anyway>The exam started off reasonably well, as they asked me to present the harmonic analysis that I had prepared, which was mostly material based on my master’s thesis and specifically on a theorem in harmonic analysis known as the T(b) theorem. However, as they moved away from that topic, the shallowness of my preparation in the subject showed quite badly. I would be able to vaguely recall a basic result in the field, but not state it accurately, give a correct proof, or describe what it was used for or connected to. I have a distinct memory of the examiners asking easier and easier questions, to get me to a point where I would actually be able to give a satisfactory answer; they spent several minutes, for instance, painfully walking me through a derivation of the fundamental solution for the Laplacian.No revolutionary ideas, no big theorem. Just coauthors a ridiculous amount of papers and was a "child prodigy" doing olympiads and got a degree at 16 after being tutored for an entire childhood by Paul Erdos after his Asian immigrant parents made him be a monkey doing calculus problems to try and brag to other Asian immigrant parents and midwits think that's being a great mathematician. The best living mathematician is Jean-Pierre Serre, but he won't be alive much longer because he is almost 100 years old. But we could pick probably one hundred who are better mathematicians than Tao.
>>17048918I've put all my life savings into Nvidia just because I like watching math chuds cry.
>>17048983this is the kind of post that shows /sci/ is not dead, thanks anon
>>17049015>she/her>CanandaBwahaha, she definitely cant Chud like Tao.
>The "bulk" of the universe is noisy and confusing.She got...thunder-struck![gloat-dances so hard the house shakes]https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUA8HFSAT34
>>17048983Thanks for posting the truth.
>>1704902120km awayI should call her
>>17049799Look at her eyes, she wants to give you qute kids. To kill em.
>>17048918I thought mathematicians self-combust at exactly 30 and what's left is just a husk?!
>>17048929and you are jealous af
>>17048983he was 18 years old and only spent 2 weeks preparing because of an addiction to the Civilization 2 pc game
his daughter is 10 in any math department. 7 in los angeles though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB9YOi3lb7w
>>17048929He literally shills ai all the time lmao
>>17051555Maybe months ago, but not anymore. He got spooked.
Mathematics is the chinese man's field
>>17052293and tiny peckers
>>17051553Which of his daughters is in that video though?
