This is precisely my worry! While it says "a Stanford project" at the top, this could mean anything. It could in particular allude to the fact that Stanford professors are advisor. The advisors are well-known professors, but some

What I don't like about this is that they had to build a separate system. Why wasn't it possible to contact arXiv and do this in collaboration with them?

Behind all the technical lingo, what problem does this solve that cannot be solved by sticking to a git repo that tracks your research and using some simple actions on top of GitHub for visualization etc.?

Which experts said that? I don't think that's the case at all. The writing was already on the wall.

It's bullshit. AlphaGeometry can't even solve Pythagoras theorem. Not opensourcing anything. This is a dead end on which no further research can be built. It violates pretty much every principle of incremental improvement on which

Don't read that. That's one of the most horrible papers I know, a hodgepodge of mathematical well-known concepts thrown together with some vague ideas how they connect. The mathematical parts are explained better in any undergradu

I think it is generally accepted that already when Brexit was up for vote it was known to be a universally bad idea - from a rational point of view. Almost every trustable source of information was clear that, for example, the economic outc

Britain is sliding down on all rankings and measures, and the fact that these people voted for Brexit to make "Britain great again" (which a sizeable portion of the people still support) just shows that for now they are also incap

It's not that novel. Others have implemented this approach , in the context of mathematics. Already the 2021 paper Drori (and many papers since) did similar things. It's a common idea in this space...

Because there are levels of brutality, that's why! It doesn't just matter that you kill people, it also matter for what, and how! And public beheadings are truly medieval and barbaric.

I would argue that the masses of people that flock to see the beheading also result in some stress towards the victim. But the fact that it is not a clean room beheading but a public one culturally dependent too ... If we argue which type o
