I don't understand. They're slowing the development because they want to or because they have to? Because of ethical concerns? Or because of economics factors that prevent them from delivering results? Since when have…
These kinds of responses aren't helpful. Your response essentially muddies the water because it sets an artificial standard that nobody can/will meet. Yes, you're correct. There likely is some grey area with how we…
1. Tristan's research direction was known to only a handful of other academics. It might help if you can be more specific regarding the origin of the contamination. 2. If someone did come out and claim that their ideas…
dude, proper attribution is part of scholarship and academics. Not giving credit to the people whose work led up to your solution is malpractice.
Yes, I also think it's alarming. And I don't think there is enough reporting given to the circumstances in certain mainstream outlets. There are certain mathematical programs that have existed for decades (for example…
In the PDF: "The route to the Clay problem through a smooth force, options c and d in Fefferman’s statement of the problem, is the route Luis and Diego opened and the one Levent and I had quietly chosen to attack.…
where does it pull its sources from?
I'm almost instinctively opposed to software that claims that it can "fact check".
>Memes are inherited. You brush your teeth because your parents do. Memes are subject to selection via biological fitness. The people who didn't brush their teeth died sooner of tooth disease, so those who brushed their…
I mostly agree. There are certain classes of tasks where the spreadsheet is more efficient. It's "more efficient" in the sense that it 1) it requires less set up time (like you said, translating a computation in a more…
I work at a small business where probably 95% of the work gets done through spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are incredibly valuable, but yea, like you said it requires a certain mindset or discipline. Otherwise you end up…

Show me instances where we've observed any of those mechanism occuring.
It's an interesting idea, but I feel like this is taking a lot of speculative (not observable) ideas for granted. What is a "variation in the basic parameters of matter"? Has anyone observed such a thing taking place?…
Some computer science is mathematical. A lot of computer science is about abstraction: creating interfaces independent of implementation. For example, we have models of digital components and construct circuits that…
I don't think "more rules" is the answer. There needs to be people in our government who have integrity, who can apply pressure and take risk. It's the people, not the constitution. The last 1.5 years is evidence that…
I agree with your larger point. Though I think it's pretty natural to wonder how the poster ended up with a multi million line codebase.
The thing that you assume in a theorem is usually called a hypothesis.
I think "being concerned with knowledge" and "being invested in the process of creation/discovery" can occur at the same time. There isn't a singular "scientific mindset" or set of values that differentiates what is and…
there's a human element in discovery and in problem solving. Whether or not somebody chooses to sidestep work isn't necessarily an indication that the work isn't science. It's just an indication that some people are…
Yea sorry. I didn't mean to criticize or diminish its value by saying it's just an educational tool. It's a powerful tool that lets you do some advanced things quickly. That's totally valuable outside of an educational…
I thought Scheme was just an educational tool - a minimal language that allows the student to explore language construction & design relatively quickly. I'm not sure I understand your comment about homoiconicity leading…
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. In science and engineering, being able to provide justification is a core skill. The comparison we should be making is against the human practitioners who are trained in…
Dude, these two things are not at all analogous: 1. Asking a model why it did a certain thing, and 2. Expecting a human to say which neuron fired in their response.
So nature doesn't exhibit justice, but a society likely needs to implement it, yes? But you don't want to say who gets to receive those rights? Some might say that those millions of dying children is an injustice that…
