@letonyo This common knowledge stuff always sounds very quantum to me, wigner's friend, etc. One day i'm gonna understand this properly, maybe Tao's blog post here will help..
English
The point is that by doing this, he makes the use of LLMs for serious maths *common knowledge*, ie something almost everybody knows, but also that everybody knows that everybody knows (etc).
Anthony Leverrier@letonyo
The latest paper by Terry Tao acknowledges use of LLMs. Yet many researchers still think they are worthless for research.

Would people understand me if I start using "tensorial natural transformations" term instead of "coherence maps of lax semimonoidal functors"? I just need this thing:

@CraigMurphy8881 @charlesmurray This is what I thought and would have written at 20. Then I smashed through my perceived ceiling, and attained a level that I would have judged surreal.

I attended the most elite undergrad math institution in the world (the École Normale Supérieure, which produced more Fields medal than the entire continent of Asia), and the number of kids who knew their IQ was exactly ZERO.
Charles Murray@charlesmurray
In a sufficiently advanced college math class, lots of the 130 IQ kids have to drop out because they just can't learn the material whereas almost all the 140 kids can. In a history or literature class it's more subjective. My experience is that the 130 range, though really smart, is accompanied by more class contributions that indicate they don't quite get it, whereas that seldom happens with 140 kids. In a class on contemporary politics, a fair number of the 140 kids will take monumentally stupid positions that would never occur to the 130 kids.

@dibiagioandrea Yes.. the global financial system is a kind of deranged AI. It's basically belief propagation. And it runs everything.

@amar_hh Another visualization of the rules for a Bialgebra (which is called a Hopf monoid here). The compatibility equation is very close to the surface diagram equation above! From a talk by Federico Ardila: "Algebraic Structures on Polytopes".
English
From a talk by @amar_hh : how the bialgebra isomorphism comes from a movie of intersecting sheet diagrams!
English
Nice talk! & i'm very curious to see where this goes..
Nirvanic AI | Quantum minds to make robots work@NirvanicAI
VIDEO: Hola from Barcelona! @SuzanneGildert is thrilled to present her scientific program to test conscious agency in AI, using quantum computing and robotics. This is just the start of an exciting journey @NirvanicAI looking for signs of conscious agency in a technological substrate. Please watch her video, recorded at The Science of Consciousness conference, led by @StuartHameroff.

@prathyvsh no this is about understanding the sledgehammer by using a nut...
English
A poster child for a mundane process tracked by deep math is carrying in simple school arithmetic as a cocycle: citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid…
One view is that it is a sledgehammer to crack a nut approach, but I feel such examples are far more numerous than we recognise.

There might be a tighter connection between sheaf theory and linguistics than I previously thought. Stumbled on this fascinating set of slides from Oleg Prosorov: pdmi.ras.ru/~prosorov/pape…

@ralphammer Pattern Matching: A Sheaf Theoretic Approach (1991) — finally found a paper from 1990s (!) where applications of sheaf theory and Grothendieck topologies to pattern matching is explicated using diagrams (!!): escholarship.org/content/qt3t59… /ht @burakemir

@letonyo did you see this discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=423307…

I just noticed that ChatGPT (o1 version) became quite unreliable today, making basic mistakes on science questions. Right at the moment the new pro version ($200/month!!) is out.
Is it just me or did you experience something similar?

that was such a great workshop, i remember it clearly

New book found in the CUP bookshop, by Robert Curtis one of the authors of the ATLAS. Could not help myself.

Who would you like to see on The Cartesian Cafe in 2025?

@erikphoel Very interesting. Whereabouts in Nagel does he talk about the "you are here" map?

Can any knowledgeable physicist comment on how physically significant this could be? (It clearly looks very interesting mathematically, but that's not the same thing...)

@cole_comfort String diagrams land in an entirely different part of the brain, so i can empathise with this attitude. But for me this is the only part of my brain that is not maths-retarded, so I don't have any other option.

Here is today's episode of "Is this real mathematics, or has my printer malfunctioned?"
