Friends,

I just found 2 more today on my birthday. People ask me why I keep searching 
for more integer solutions to A^4 + B^4 + C^4 = D^4 .

Some mathematicians are satisfied to have a proof that there are an infinite 
number of solutions, not finite, or zero.

Statisticians worry about gaps in the distribution known of solutions.There is 
a suspicious dearth around 10^10 .

As a computer jock, I am interested in the algorithms and the bridges between 
different mathematical formulations. I found a new way to do brute force 
searching. I’ve refined the two known elliptic curve methods and found a way to 
use the duality between them. I am searching for isogenies between the elliptic 
and hyperelliptic curves, but that problem is cryptographically hard. Yet I see 
patterns that keep me trying.

Assistance from AI is laughable at this level of invention. Coding assistants 
just suggest ways to patch over bugs rather than uncover root causes. Deeper 
level suggestions for strategy lead down blind alleys almost all the time. I am 
sure AI will get better, but for now my experience and persistence are winning.
