Everyone is right that the protocol is the wrong one to use, but there _should_ actually be some formally documented handshake for ai-agents to use to agree on an outside protocol to switch to.

No, it's not. That's just the standard model of peano arithmetic. You can map the successor function to many different operations and objects that aren't even numbers.

I love that she did that, but I really get annoyed by college PR departments reaching for practical applications for anything cool done in math. IMO refining a 100 year old problem is good enough for a press release!

S(N) is just S(N), it's not N+1 unless you define it that way. S(0) is not 1, it's S(0). The successor function doesn't really get mapped to numbers without an explicit additional mapping.

It's piecewise continuous, but I don't see any reason why you'd need a continuous function.

The successor function is how natural numbers are defined in most axiomatic arithmetic systems. A natural number is either zero or a successor of a natural number. Addition is defined as a recursive application of successor functions. m

Even assuming that this is an accurate recounting of what people believe they saw, we can dismiss out of hand that this is describing UFOs or any kind of space battle. It would have been visible all over Europe and there were astronomers a

Miri does catch a problem here: > error: Undefined Behavior: memory access failed: expected a pointer to 8 bytes of memory, but got 0x2f5f40[noalloc] which is a dangling pointer (it has no provenance) --> src/main.rs:263:33

Since calling the square an inverse square root makes zero sense in any practical context, the other common meaning being applied is obvious. In this case, it's not the inverse of a _function_, it's the inverse of a _number_, whi

If one developed such an oracle, you would surely not share it.

There are two ways you can get better at predicting the future. One is the obvious one of being really good at discerning signals. The other way is to alter the future to match your predictions. This is something to think about when you co

I don't think that's different from what I said. Surely there was a lot of migration. I think the evidence is that wasn't a big bang migration, but rather a series of smaller, disconnected migrations.

There's one good reason to believe that they wrote it down (mostly) unaltered and continued transmitting it (mostly) unaltered, which is that they continued copying it and reciting it well past the point where they even understood what

I think this comment is based on some confusion about how languages spread. Languages spread along with people, but while a local language may be replaced, the people are not generally replaced with the language. There may have been some

I believe the article is saying that the Hittite branch split off early from the rest of the tree, and the Yamnaya are the ones that spread it around the world -- the Hittite branch ended up being a dead end.

This and it's struggles with spelling questions are both artifacts of tokenization and not really a failure of reasoning. I think there's probably a simple solution that solves both this and the "how many r's are there

Nobody, I think, is suggesting that nobody should hire those people, but when law enforcement hires those people, they put them through extensive screening and are careful about what they give them access to.

LLM's demonstrably don't do this, nor do they say that they live in the hundred acre woods and love honey. Unless you ask about a specific bear.

This really has nothing to do with pedagogy and everything to do with the difference between calculations and mathematics. It's similar to the split between science and engineering. In engineering, you're applying rules of thumb

The paper is full of grammatical mistakes and typos, and full of obvious errors in how they classify statements in their own examples. I don't think it 'confirms' anything. And using a reddit dataset as a way to classify &q
