Why HN links it
HN readers link this mathematics blog by Lieven Le Bruyn for its posts on topics like artisanal integers, Penrose tiles, algebraic geometry culture and Grothendieck's notes. The comments only cite or link the posts; none judge the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 5 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

He phoned Jean Malgoire: > “Si t…
