Again, it's not clear to me that if you asked 1950s mathematicians to look at math journals in the 1950s, they would react very differently. You haven't presented any evidence of this. It's certainly true that math is a more

Is the test about ability to understand or about finding it very interesting? Of course it's easier to understand what has already become old hat and popularized in the field.

The article suggests this test to establish that math is running out of interesting research: "Take a fairly generalist journal, like the Journal of Algebra (take a topic in which you have expertise — my doctoral thesis was in algebra)

You can already represent infinitely many numbers with a finite set of symbols without positional notation, in unary. You can write "1 + 1 + 1 + 1" or "This number of stars: ****" or whatever. This idea (make N marks to

If you think that's bad, the R^4 coefficient is even lower.

Let them make a new version if they want, sure, but removing access to the original is what rankles.

What do you mean? It works the exact same way for 128 bottles. 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1.

This is essentially the same approach as the solution described in the article. You are observing the bits of the poisoned bottle number in binary, bit by bit. The only difference is that you avoid retesting any bottles once they have been

The second ChatGPT example proof is mostly fine, except it failed to see that the claimed theorem isn't actually true at d = 2. (It writes "d ≥ 2" for a step in its reasoning where d ≥ 3 is actually required.)

ChatGPT just spit out nonsense in the first example. Look at the sum in step 6, over τ ≤ τ. Is τ the bound variable of the summation or a free variable? Put another way, how many terms are in this summation over "τ ≤ τ"? And how d

It took me nearly two decades of problems before I got a SIBO diagnosis, via breath testing. But now I'm not sure how much stock to put in such tests, given the very recent paper https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi&#x2F

Minor point, but Blaise Pascal was centuries earlier than the 1850s.

I have a PhD in mathematics and I agree with you.

There is absolutely something wrong with it. Just because a thing is common doesn't make it good.

That's fine but it's about the same as you'll get from an encyclopedia also, which makes sense as that's just where GPT got it from anyway. Nothing revolutionary in the ability to read encyclopedia articles. We've h

CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc, are no better. They're just more established.

It's a choke because it failed to get the answer. Saying other true things but not getting the answer is not a success.

I do not imagine LLMs will be of any use here.

Why would the LLM be any good at determining where the input should be handled?

It was always like this ("Now the system just makes shit up and says 'Yes you are right' when you catch it on BS."). The scales are just falling from your eyes as the novelty fades.

There needn't be a layer such that all layers below are completely white and all layers above are completely blue. For example, consider a cube. It has four layers. We could say the bottom-most layer is the one with (0, 0, 0). Above th

Given a monad M on a category C, it is among other things a functor from C to C, which means that we have functions from Hom(c, d) to Hom(M(c), M(d)) for each pair of objects c and d in C. [Here, by Hom(x, y), I mean the set of morphisms fr

I'm having a very hard time understanding this comment. Perhaps my cognitive decline has begun. Update: I see I should rewatch "Life of Brian".
