You expect an arxiv only paper to be cited? Do you even know fuck all about scientific research? Do you think someone can slap "Foundations of" in an arxiv title and we are mandated to cite it?

Your claim is still rubissh, as you neglected to interact with the rest of my comment: economic utility does not necessitate all mathematical output directly contributes. You redefine "forgot" to make it falsiable, but also neglec

You bemoan the cherry picked example and counter with an unfalsifiable claim. Certainly we have remembered much more math than Calculus, and much of it has been of practical use. How can we hope to quantity the expenditure on math we'v

Probably yes. Only a handful of mathematicians work on this particular problem, and ALL of them do not exclusively work on this problem, while having administrative and teaching duties. The real issue is we'll never know. The rich are

No you see people that use AI generally don't bother to consider this unimportant detail. Or they ask the AI to "double check" its work.

??? Look at any conference that publishes mechanized results? You'll see plenty of Isabelle, ACL2, Rocq, Agda. You exist in the pop science bubble. If Lean has done anything it's advertised itself well. It did a good job of that a

It's a great comedy that we move the buck from "I don't trust the human proof" to "I don't trust the Lean proof" despite the level of trust dramatically increasing. Moving to HOL-light might be another mod

Hearing someone say "the future of proofs is Lean" is a bit like hearing someone say "the future of programming is Rust." Sorry to disappoint, or happy to inform, there are hundreds of programming languages actively bein

Missing information is different from paying the person who steals information instead of paying the person that produces it. Did you bother to think critically before you replied, or is an AI doing all your thinking as well?

So you'd rather give money to the company that stole the copyrighted material of experts and academics instead of giving them money? Sure some textbooks are corporate greed schemes themselves, but many others are just the work of a gro

Horseshit. ~30% of US citizens are happy with this state of affairs. ~30% are completely disengaged, believe ridiculous things like "both sides are the same" or feel like politics doesn't effect them. ~30% voted for Harris, B

The software is heavily regulated for medical devices. Saying an MRI machine has bad software seems highly unlikely to me. This is of course different from Epic, but even then as a patient MyChart is really not that bad

This is not the argument. It's not a comparison to gambling but a comparison to something that does not materially improve a person's life. Economic expenditure does not equate to human benefit. This is the original argument, and

Incorrect. The statement in Lean can itself be wrong. Moreover, they could be exploiting a kernel bug in Lean, of which we had one published literally a week ago.

What is absurd is evaluating something on the lines of code it produces. AI psychosis at work.

This is horseshit. Mathlib3 and mathlib4 all existed prior to LLMs. Unimath of Agda, mathematical components of Rocq, the list goes on. LLMs have done nothing for "making large scale mechanization viable." They have been viable. T

A basic course in statistics will inform you of why a 99.99% accurate test should be looked at with skepticism when diagnosing a rare disease. Yet we see the fancy 9s and think somehow this many 9s is enough.

Researchers _would_ leave in droves if they could. But it turns out the entire world doesn't actually care much for research. The US was actually unique in that regard.

Comparing it to the trolley problem is incorrect. COVID had real potential to kill you , even as a young person. At that point its a matter of risk assessment for yourself. Take a 2% chance of dying, a slightly higher chance of reduced qua
