I think is a very good point and in my opinion one of the reasons for the backlash against green measures across the world. When people just survive, it is hard to justify to pay more for electricity to switch away from fossil fuels, or buy

I am sure we will reach 3 degrees, given what's going on in the world. Deniers will always come up with some arguments that this is somehow not real. The question is at what temperature we will see cliff edge like effects, i.e. stoppi

You mean similar to social security in the US ? Where you only can get anything out of it if you have enough credits? In fact it is similar in many countries (i.e. UK) where there is a minimum period required to get anything

The company's goal is to satisfy share-holders, not some pesky sick people.

I had to learn it for the interview homework for a quant job. It is a fun language to to solve small-ish problems. I somehow got a feeling it's a good language to show off clever solutions, but in the same time I can't comprehend

It is the question of capabilities. People use LLMs to prove theorems. It is therefore a relevant question whether llms can work as generic calculators. And if they can't it shows IMO something is missing.

A connected question -- has there been an LLM that is a perfect calculator ? I.e. you give it a expression involving standard operations +/- and (say) integer numbers, standard operations and it should returns always a correct result.

Is it really certain that those problems and the answers were not in the training data for the tested LLMs ? Presumably somebody in the internet wrote about them...

It is interesting how the field is becoming 'pedagogy of LLMs'.

A bit of a strange list. I.e. I'm not sure that "The Hubble atlas of galaxies" by Allan Sandage is that influential really. Also I went there to check if the Jaynes's Probability Theory book was there or not, but it is n

That only applies to US funds, but not in the UK ones which continue to be significantly more expensive...

I hope this is the future for Python. Write in pure Python, but if needed, the code can be JIT (or not JIT) compiled into something faster (provided your code does not rely too much on low-level python stuff, such as __ functions).

Given the current state of US government I wouldn't be surprised if soon it would introduce sanctions against anyone trying to use Deepseek.

Good points. I guess if the bond markers react and obtaining new or refinancing old debt becomes more expensive, I can see how that can affect things quicker. Especially given the role of treasuries in all financial markets.

I am wondering, at what point we will start observing economic effects from this kind of governance we are seeing now and in the last couple of weeks. I feel that only the economic crisis/slump may force to change course from the ongoi

Not only that. I've seen that some NSF-funded billion-sized projects are closing DEI channels in slack. The idiocy of the government is really limitless here.

I think broader impact section is good. Whether it should be weighted as high as it was is up to debate. I personally think it was becoming too important for the success of the proposal. But obviously the new administration is not interest

I completely agree, the whole type of decision making wrecks people's life. Fine, if the government wants have a discussion of what programs to fund, lets have that, but this id.otic 'stop funding' orders is just horrific for
