do you have any thoughts on why these wealthy and powerful public figures have all chosen this extraordinarily unusual aesthetic

very interesting, thank you for sharing
anyone know of an applicable rpg spell here. I want to know how much this would cost

most people who are considered skilled programmers seem to know very little math (by my arbitrary standards), so I wouldnāt worry about it. if you get that the remainder of 8 divided by 5 is 3 then youāre 99% of the way there
if you think about it the human mind is really just a kind of naturally arising artificial intelligence #Deep

(also, I might take on a roguelike project in Godot myselfā¦ thereās a new library I want to try which implements my favorite way to do game logic for roguelikes)
this looks really cool š
that was a joke about abstract mathematics. anyway Iām not much of a programmer but I have found Iāve learned a lot from working on godot stuff, so I second that recommendation
well, first youāll need a solid grounding in the theory of categories

I really donāt get it. they see something they donāt understand and immediately start writhing on their keyboards in rage. āwhat the FUCK is THISā
itās definitely linked to rationalism (and various far right bullshits), which right away means people who get into it are likely to be at least cult adjacent. not the most stable spot to be in, psychologically
tangent, as a callow youth I listened to rationally speaking, which used to be a cohosted show with julia galef and massimo pigluicci. mostly after leaving the show (I think?), pigluicci ended up getting really into stoicism and would post shit about how unhappiness is purely oneās own choice etc. when I asked him if jewish people in WWII concentration camps were just choosing to be unhappy he was like yes. so, yeah, thatās stoicism for you
there has to be difficulty determining what the most ethical choice is to have an āethical dilemma.ā when the options are ādo something unethical or donātā thatās the opposite of an ethical dilemma!
Journalists will also face ethical dilemmas as prediction markets are normalized. Should reporters participate in markets they cover?
sorry, what exactly is the dilemma here? how is it an ethical dilemma to have an unethical way to make money?
The rise of prediction markets raises questions about ethics and regulation. Current platforms are primed for market manipulation, insider trading, and the potential for bad actors to game the system. Platforms will need to enforce rigorous safeguards to maintain credibility and prevent misinformation from being incentivized.

fwiw the post this is replying to originally didnāt have the phrase āinstead of very obviously reacting to the headline,ā I edited that in later. without the edit I think it does come across like I thought zweibel was contradicting some specific point in the article. not true, b/c they didnāt address the article at all
at least make a pretense of having read the article instead of very obviously reacting to the headline jfc
so openai claims to be doing great on the FrontierMath dataset. Iāve already seen the usual sort of dipshits using this to pump ai on reddit, and hereās a post that went to the frontpage on HN:
https://xenaproject.wordpress.com/2024/12/22/can-ai-do-maths-yet-thoughts-from-a-mathematician/
(tl;dr only a few problems from the dataset are public but if representative the problems are about 25% survivable by an undergrad; coincidentally this is the % openai says their models are completing.)
this post is by kevin buzzard. he has a letās say not easily beloved personality, but I donāt think of him as credulous or grifty, and people in his area regard him as an excellent mathematician.
he points out but I think does not focus enough on how discrediting the secretive nature of the dataset is. the fact that you canāt make it public is necessary to run such experiments in a scientifically reasonable way, but also makes it totally impossible to run the experiment in a scientifically reasonable way. an experiment which cannot be examined or reproduced is actually the opposite of science. itās pure grift fuel
