Have you heard about ChatGPT?

Huh. Looking at it, they have made a lot more progress than I was aware of. I will correct my opinion. https://mathoverflow.net/questions/114943/where-are-the-seco... was very informative on this. Still they have

I disagree. What he stole was the pictures she took. He really did come up with the structure. Mind you he was helped by a nice coincidence. Franklin knew all 230 space symmetry groups, and so had to sort through them. Watson only really kn

You're really standing on the shoulders of giants when you rely on the classification of finite simple groups. Giants whose work has (dirty little secret) never truly been verified. The proof totals about 10,000 pages. At the end of

Let's not cut taxes until after the deficit is zeroed out. Preferably until after the debt is going down, so that the next generation doesn't have to pay interest on our poor decisions.

Any new style will look bad, simply because it is new to us. But you quickly get used to it. After that, it is about minimizing errors. Leading commas minimize errors, and is a style that is portable across databases.

It also doesn't apply to the structure of space-time. Which is not a situation that Newton's laws can deal with.

The term for the stress-energy tensor has the wrong impact on expansion for a simple relationship of any kind. You can rescue it with pseudo-tensors, but then you force the existence of a preferred reference frame. Which undermines the prin

That only works if radiation density and expansion are connected. General Relativity says that they aren't.

As much as we want time symmetry, we still live in an expanding universe. So we have at least some asymmetry.

by btilly 2y ago
Here is a cosmological issue from Noether's Theorem. An expanding universe shows time asymmetry, therefore it might not have conservation of energy. This looks like it actually happens. Photons going through empty space go through cosm

Indeed, there is a polar coordinates representation of the complex numbers with the nice property that when you multiply you multiply lengths and add angles.

Automation improved life in the Industrial Revolution because it displaced people from spinning and weaving into higher value add professions. What higher value add professions will humans be displaced into by AI?

AI may not have desires, but corporations do. And control more resources than humans. Making corporations more effective is not always in the interest of humans.

Jevon's Paradox says that you're probably wrong. But I'm worried about the same thing. The moat around human superiority is shrinking fast. And when it's gone, we may get more software, but will we need humans involved?

If I'm reading this correctly, Deepseek R1, after prompting, sped up its own web implementation by a factor of 2. Thus demonstrating that self-optimization is possible. Further optimizations seem likely to be findable.

It's part of breaking a loan into bonds, which is called securitization. Suppose we divide the repayments into 5 bonds. If 20% of the money comes in, it goes to the first bond. Then the next 20% to the next, and so on. The later bonds

No, those are unrelated concepts.

What is the upside down v supposed to be? Yeah, I know that it is "and". But it isn't specified, and I do little enough logic that I had to look it up.

It also covers a long time period. The period of extreme prudishness was fairly short, and happened during the Victorian era. I have a book from the 1850s that was meant to (mis)inform on this topic. The whole masturbation makes people go b

I can make it worse. We make decisions based on partial information, processed in a probabilistic manner. The logically right way to reason involves the update of a Bayesian network - each belief ties to each other belief. But updating a Ba

Part of that solution is to either sell a cleaning service that people only use occasionally, like deep cleaning of your floors, or to lock the client in to a contract that allows you to detect those private deals. But the basic, "I&#x

It depends on the gig. Attempts to farm out housecleaning as a gig fail in exactly that way - people find the cleaner they want, and they arrange to make it permanent. Making the gig app as a discovery mechanism. That's why none of the

If the constraint is computation in a light cone, the theoretical bound is time cubed, not exponential. With a major decrease in scaling as we hit the bounds of our galaxy. Intergalactic travel is, of course, rather slow.

No, I definitely don't know that. My "rhetoric" about the issue which Donald J. Trump spent something like 1/4 of his ad spend on. I didn't pick it to sound extreme. I picked it because it was very important to how
