Awaiting the referee reports. In the formal sense, a man of letters. Now in a million pieces, picked up for deliberation by the people reading at home.

@pschofie79 Pass. What is a "milk hotel," anyway?
English
Just discovered this old band no one has heard of called “Neutral Milk Hotel.” People should check them out.

They did geometry and algebra I this year. The hope is for honors geometry and algebra II next year, then precalculus in eighth grade and calculus in ninth.
English
We're trying to get our kids into honors geometry in seventh grade.
Kelsey Piper@KelseyTuoc
This is an incredibly unstrategic fight to pick but every time I wade into a battle over whether to allow eighth graders to take algebra I just want to say "actually, a good school offers algebra in sixth grade and a great school offers it in third."

Why do I never hear about the Coast Mountains of Canada?

@d08890 The people complaining it's too harsh are telling on themselves.
English
counterpoint: if we want to maintain anything like integrity in scientific research, an early, strong signal that this will not be tolerated is essential; at best, he below is an argument for an appeals process, not lessening the penalty

A lifetime arxiv ban (arxiving after pubs is meaningless) can completely wreck someone career Doing that for a single slip unconsequential slip on an otherwise good paper is completely reckless Society is changing fast, we need to support people. Not punish them.

@mouse_math Category theory, and it's not close.

@Noahpinion Which specific mathematicians are presently in danger of losing their jobs?
English
In three years we went from AI being unable to do simple arithmetic to AI threatening to put almost all professional mathematicians out of a job.
Pretty impressive!

New project: problemsilike.com, a website collecting open problems that I, personally, like, with comments on their context, difficulty, and interest.

pro lifers will tell you to give birth to this and it will die 3 days later.

she’s literally 100% correct. truth hurts sometimes ig

@d08890 Also, without Indy, the ark never ends up in a government warehouse.
English
no they don't don't you guys remember the whole ``they're digging in the wrong place'" scene
it's like people never watched the damn movie
Sean T at RCP@SeanTrende
I thought Big Bang Theory dispelled this one. Indy is irrelevant to the plot. If he doesn’t exist nazis get the ark, open it up, go poof anyway.
English
Largely a fine point, but in economic life (and life more broadly) people constantly get things they don't deserve, for good or ill.
English
This is the world they took from us.
Magnetic Norse@MagneticNorse
90s TV shows had such a weird way of driving a point home.

@Martin778192374 @ChrSzegedy I doubt he was referring to the typesetting.
English
@ChrSzegedy ...which is the emerging AI-powered capability to rapidly write and rewrite expositions of the solution." So it is more interesting it can typeset it than it prove this all by itself?!
English
Neither Terry Tao nor Judit Polgar assess AI's trajectory realistically.
It's kind of surprising as it should be obvious by now.
Shashikant Kore@kshashi
Terence Tao - "AI tools are like taking a helicopter to drop you off at the site. You miss all the benefits of the journey itself. You just get right to the destination, which actually was only just a part of the value of solving these problems." Judit Polgar - "I always felt that intuition is very important in chess, but I get my intuition through my experience. And many times I think that this is the biggest danger for youth, that they don't have the experience because they don't spend enough time doing." Elites from two different fields voice the same opinion. [1] theatlantic.com/technology/202… [2] archive.is/mv2FB

@Obius_Maximus @ChrSzegedy You know nothing and understand even less.
English
That is because they arent "brilliant people" they just do math good. "brilliant" people can fix anything in your house and then flirt with your wife while making you feel like the cuck that you are. thats whats happening to them with ai. and they should stay in their respective lanes, which is that of a glorified calculator.
English
Fewer practices (who's got time to practice with all the travel?), much less playing time for the weaker players, etc. Just a much worse overall experience for the rest of the team.
English
The parents whose kids play expensive travel ball have consistently been the worst Little League coaches. Their kids are talented and sharp, but the parents show extreme partiality and do much less to develop the rest of the players.
English
It's because, once everybody knows that everybody knows it, they all have to commit suicide a hundred days later.

I handled Top Secret information only a handful of times in my military career. Every time I did, I remember thinking to myself "Why is this classified? Everybody suspects this is true, it's just common sense..." But then I remembered that the reason the data was classified was so that no one in the know would or could ever confirm or deny whether "common sense" suspicions were actually true. THAT is the power of security classifications. My point is this: it does not matter whether or not anyone has a common sense suspicion that stores of precision munitions might be depleted. When Kelly officially verified that suspicion at the individual munition level, he created a grave breach of national security. Prosecute this traitor. Remember when some submariner went to the brig because he posted a picture from the inside of a sub? This is far worse. Prosecute.

@jdflynn Up until this year, the correct response was that the strike zone exists only in the mind of the umpire.
