Yeah solving a Millennium Problem is totally equivalent to calculating another digit of pi.

  Its called an analogy

    It's one of the seven most important problems in mathematics. Pick a better analogy.
    • sherburt3 7d ago
      If anything I'm diminishing the importance of calculus and pi by comparing it to this bullshit

      If you want to be pedantic it’s one of the 7 problems a specific institute considers to be the most important in mathematics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Prize_Problems (Not that I think the comparison to pi digits make sense)

        are we really moving the goalpost after solving Millenium Prize Problem? Six years ago that would be something, but today let's move the goalpost

          Willing to bet if an AI next cures a cancer people here will go “that wasn’t the most dangerous type of cancer so it is meaningless”.

    GP is saying it’s not a very good one.

    It's a really bad analogy then. So bad that it's hard to find an analogy describing how bad it is :)
