yeah, it looks like i don't have enough knowledge of this subject to discuss this. but i'd be interested in reading what more knowledgeable people have to say about it -- Tristan's work, how different from others' it…
if you assume the choice of route is a uniformly distributed random variable, yes. but this assumption does not seem consistent with "Almost nobody else I know of was working on it", from Tristan's quote. nor with "It…
i don't know if i understand what you're saying. but i'm no mathematician. here's the full statement in question once again: > The route to the Clay problem through a smooth force, options c and d in Fefferman’s…
yes, this is ultimately nothing but a claim. Buckmaster did also mention, for example, that a team of people was employed to solve the problem, which supports this claim. but that is another claim whose veracity could…
i'm no mathematician but i think this question is why the original question (possibility of singularities) is interesting. in these cases the equations most likely fail to accurately model reality, and then the next…

can you provide an example of a claim in the subject being discussed, or any subject outside of mathematics, that manages to reach the level of proof?
it looks from the article that some cancers are notably correlated with radiation exposure, and these were the ones they looked for. they also mention excluding lung cancer because it's also correlated with smoking.
from the point of view of the judge and society, i guess, what matters, ultimately, is whether the arguments presented for a case hold, not where did they come from -- so it shouldn't matter if ChatGPT was the one that…
re: "you either have strong currency or strong exports" if i understood correctly, you are stating that the only way to have strong exports is by having cheaper labor ("... losing jobs and industries to those nations…

interesting concept. you get a letter of recommendation of sorts from every professor. this makes me think how education could be better if it were more individualized (smaller student/teacher ratio). maybe that'd be a…
odd not to mention resistance heating in what otherwise seems like a thorough review of the question
couldn't this argument could be made against a lot of scientific research? i bet it took a long time for the average consumer to benefit from the discovery of the double helix structure of the DNA. and the government…

whoa, TIL. i knew that it made orgasms impossible when using, but i had never heard that the effects could last so long.
i think instead of asking the best way of dividing the costs, we should ask why does it cost so much. we've managed to bring down immensely the cost of technology over the past decades everywhere else.
