Sick! I've been building a little electronics project to render the ising model on an lcd screen, might have to do one for the potts model now too =D had never heard of it before.
bahaha I'll try harder <3
I think zugzwang makes chess endgames richer - the fewer ways you can make a draw, the better, in my opinion. Maybe that's less appealing in go because games can go on for so much longer? At least in 19x19.
yeah I can't reproduce this at all
That isn't what they are saying at all, lol.
I mean, it's a blog post, those statements are correct in spirit. A taste thing, I think. I agree about the birkhoff theorem though.
I don't think they are completely wrong - "=>" is just implication. A hidden assumption in their diagrams is that circles of different colours are assumed to be different elements. A morphism from orange to yellow means…
I guess we hang out in different academic circles. I met a single algebraic geometer in my whole academic career. But people are into very different stuff where I come from, which may have biased me (topology, number…
> But if less people are exposed to those frameworks, then surely that means they will be less popular? I agree, but I don't think the data suggests that is what's happening. The data presented in the article shows only…
I think you overestimate how many people exist in the world with a professional interest in algebraic geometry! The vast majority of mathematicians have no idea how to compute with schemes (and there aren't that many of…
I don't buy the premise - that LLMs being trained on more React code than other frameworks is going to cause the collapse of alternatives. The data presented in the article isn't very convincing to me - it's absolute…
That's a theory, but I think it's more likely that the few people in the world who deeply understand schemes are locked in the basement of a mathematics department somewhere, and not on hacker news =P
Interesting, yeah. I guess he was the mathematical equivalent of the "rogue" archetype. Brilliant, did things in his own way, total lack of respect for authority, shrouded in mystery. I can definitely see the appeal =)
I don't buy it, I've used LLMs (well, mostly sonnet 4.5 and sometimes gpt5) in a variety of front-end frameworks (react, vue, htmx) and they do just fine. As usual, requires a lot of handholding and care to get good…
Why is this on the front page of hacker news? Hopefully that comes across as a genuine question and not snark. I mean as an ex-mathematician I'm thrilled, but schemes are an incredibly abstract object used in an…
I think you are making the same mistake. Nothing of the sort has been proven conclusively in either direction.
This is very cool as a science experiment, but if you're interested in getting the best results (for you) you should just taste as you cook. We're born with high-fidelity chemical and tactile sensors - use them!
Can you provide examples of software that should have literally been a spreadsheet or an ETL? Not to call you out specifically but this feels like "I could have written that in a weekend". Personally whenever I have…
Is LLM output the kind of clever we're talking about here? I always thought the quote was about abstraction astronautics, not large amounts of dumb just-do-it code.
My personal preference is to play non-handicapped games, but that's a good point, thanks.
Thanks, I'll check those out.
I love Go and have played it a lot in person, but I always struggle to get games online, even on OGS. Feels like the online community is very small compared to chess (which is now my boardgame of choice, basically for…
People like different things, obviously? Boring is very subjective.
Right, your number 1 is quite compelling to me - a lack of standard vocabulary for describing architecture/performance. Most programmers I work with (myself included sometimes) aren't even aware of the kinds of…
Yeah, I think safety factors and concepts like redundancy have pretty good counterparts in software. Slightly embarrassed to say that I don't know for my current project!
