A few people who blog frequently and fit my criteria for “super-smart”: Terence Tao, Cosma Shalizi, John Baez.
I was thinking of Tao as well. Also, Oleg Kiselyov for programming/computer science.
Yep, seconding the recommendation of Oleg. I read a lot of his writings and I’d definitely have included him on the list.
Interesting picks. I hadn’t thought of Cosma Shalizi as ‘super-smart’ before, just erudite and with a better memory for the books and papers he’s read than me. Will have to think about that...
