Hmm, I got curious and read Wikipedia: > Levittowns are six large suburban housing developments, three of which are actually named "Levittown." They were created in the United States (including one in Puerto Rico) by William J.

The Adam Smith Institute once added up all the govt spending demands made in a single news program and it came to like 10% of GDP. Similarly the comments here: if only it could do all this and * On/off button round the back * More LTE

What do you think of the AI-2027 scenario?

You’re arguing with a conspiracy theorist. Don’t do it, it’s not worth the effort!

> The impact of mathematics on other disciplines goes much further than specific results. Just as important, if not even more so, are the language and ways of thinking that typically come out of the process of establishing those results

What I don’t see much of in the article - and still less in the comments that seem to see AI-led progress in mathematics as nothing but a disaster, because mathematics exists only to provide employment to mathematicians - is a sense that ma

This reminds me of the Craig Brown parody of Tony Benn's diary: "eat a banana, first being careful to discard the fleshy part inside".

Can anyone recommend me a news board about AI? The comment quality here is very low: evidence-free, curiosity-free paranoia and negativity abound. I’m wondering if the intelligent players have gone somewhere else.

If they had agreed to let OpenAI train on their data, it wouldn’t be spying.

Can a mathematical person explain how the different "bits" of Navier-Stokes proofs fit together? How significant is it to have "Euler"? What is this "smooth forcing"? Which are the most significant steps to pro

Guys you realise you can just read the Journal of Economic Perspectives for free? Its articles are written for the ordinary reader, by experts who have spent big chunks of their lives studying their specialty. They don't try to sound l

Guys, this is so pathetic. Twenty-three years after Munich and there are still comments waiting for the year of the Linux desktop. From a deployment about big enough for a small university. Stop! You’re embarrassing yourselves!

My original point was: if mathematicians have been seeking a result for decades, and now an llm has got it, then either that is socially valuable, or mathematicians have been wasting public money. Are you now saying that they weren’t really

Here’s a thesis: the feminism of the 70s was a reaction specifically to the trends of the 60s. You can see this here in 2 places: the double standard and easy acceptance of male infidelity; and attitudes to divorce.
