Hi there stranger, I'm Michael, a Software Consultant that helps people make applications better for all of us. I've used this blog to share things I find interesting and things I've worked on. I'm not very active at the moment, a mixture of vidya, reddit and work have torn me away from my beloved tumblr. Feel free to browse my archive. I'll reply to questions eventually.
We had an interesting discussion in our algebra department yesterday, about this innocuous-looking equation. I suggest you don’t try it, unless you’re equally happy with negative integer solutions or know something about elliptic curves!
As it turns out, the smallest positive integer solution has 80-digit numbers! Hence you won’t find these using brute-force computer searches without some insight on elliptic curves. If you want to read more about the mathematics behind this equation, read this delightful post on Quora by Alon Amit.
Honestly I cannot imagine anyone I want to hear from less on this topic.

I recently found Jordan and have now watched a great deal of his content. I’ve not yet developed a thorough opinion on his view and both your responses are quite negative.
