Indeed. As Nassim Taleb says, "Something bad for the (existing) class of mathematicians as they lose their privilege, but not necessarily bad for mathematics & our body of knowledge?"…
> the vast majority of the locals hated the protests and didn't support them Totally false
People have been saying we've been "at peak hype-cycle" for years
A better alternative is just to make all your work open and public, then everyone can see what you should get credit for.
> it convinces decision makers that human mathematicians are obsolete, and it convinces young people that their passion for mathematics has no future Maybe those things are true, so maybe they should be convinced?
Tao seems to be stuck in a pure-math-for-the-benefit-of-pure-mathematicians mindset. The rest of us care about applications of math, not math itself.
Plenty of new open problems will come from applications, and applications are what actually matters. Pure mathematicians are wrapped up in math for the sake of math which is a fun academic game but not something the…
People don't use SQL because it's a good language
You mean "benchmarked"?
How is it different from https://github.com/github/spec-kit?
Multiplayer? It's a game?
"multiplayer"? Is this a game? I honestly don't know what that means in this context.
Dark night for mathematicians' careers maybe but not for mathematics at all.
English doesn't do quotation marks like that
Actually, it's "either the word 'whom' or when to use it". I guess you should learn actual English.
Imagine someone wrote a blog in some obscure language that few people speak. If you happen to know that language, you'd think wow this is great. If you don't happen to know that language, you'd just think it's a shame.…
You could just use the US terms, then you wouldn't have to learn both.
"The idiot who praises, with enthusiastic tone, All centuries but this, and every country but his own."
Think of it as learning a second language. It should be a lot easier for you than most people.
The French didn't like it when the Lingua Franca switched from French to English and the Brits still whine that British English is no longer the dominant variety. It's a trade-off: you can write in your regional dialect…
People buy Apple products for the same reason people buy BMWs
There are many laptops with similar specs that you can run Linux on, and for less money
I tried Vivaldi a couple of years ago and it was slow as fuck
Python is faster to write so obviously you'll see things built in Python first more often than the reverse. What's that quote -- "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool..."
No
