What kind of content does Konstantin Kakaes publish on konstantinkakaes.com?

Updated

konstantinkakaes.com is a personal clips site: it collects Konstantin Kakaes's published work — mostly articles and podcasts for Quanta Magazine — and links each item back to its original outlet. It is not a blog with original reporting, and it does not host the full text of the pieces. If you want to read Kakaes's writing, this site works as an index; the reading itself happens at the source.

What "clips" means here

The site's own navigation labels the main section clips, alongside about and contact. Each entry is a short pointer to a piece published elsewhere, typically with:

  • A headline and date
  • A one- or two-sentence summary of the piece
  • A bracketed source credit, e.g. [Quanta Magazine]
  • Category and tag labels

So the site's value is curation and attribution, not original content.

Topics covered

The clips cluster around mathematics, AI, computer science, and the people behind them. Representative entries from the site:

Date Piece Subject
8 Sep 2026 AI Has Helped Solve One of Math's $1 Million Millennium Prize Problems AI-assisted work on the Navier–Stokes equations, and the controversy around it
23 Jul 2026 The Quietest Mathematician Has Always Been Worth Listening To John Pardon and his Fields Medal

20 May 2026 How Alexander Grothendieck Revolutionized 20th-Century Mathematics Grothendieck's actual mathematical contributions
13 Apr 2026 The AI Revolution in Math Has Arrived AI proving new results at speed
20 Mar 2026 'Open Space' Review: Orbiting the Problem Satellite technology and private power over communication

The recurring tags — Quanta Magazine, mathematics, Artificial Intelligence — reflect that focus. Categories include clips, Mathematics, Computer Science and Mathematics, Science and Technology, and Podcast.

Where the content comes from

Almost every clip credits Quanta Magazine, where Kakaes writes. The site also announces his own newsletter: a 10 September 2026 post, "Announcing 'Transformation'," describes a weekly (more often when news merits) newsletter on math and AI for Quanta, with a link out.

That means the update rhythm is tied to his publishing schedule at Quanta rather than to a fixed site calendar — new clips appear when new pieces run.

How to use the site

  • Following a specific topic (say, AI in mathematics): scan the tag and category labels, then follow the source link to Quanta for the full piece.
  • Checking what someone has published: the dated list gives a quick chronological record with outlet attribution.
  • Finding the newsletter: the "Transformation" announcement post is the entry point; the newsletter itself lives with Quanta, not on this domain.

One practical caveat: because the site only summarizes and links, don't expect full articles, transcripts, or archives of the original text here.
