Does anyone have to understand AI output when it comes to math? Then that someone has to be trained in math. Yeah, for all intents and purposes that person is a mathematician. Maybe not the one who gets money for that in which case they are

Why not? We still have to learn how to write. AI is much better at it than the average guy anyway. It can do any style in most any language. No human on Earth is capable of that.

You want to learn programming in C. Pick up Linux skills. Read CS:APP by Bryant / O'Hallaron and OSTEP by the Arpaci-Dusseau. Should be a good basis for kernel hacking.

I personally don't get this attitude. For one thing, nobody on earth can give you a 500-word summary of quantum physics in a way that lets you internalize even a tiny bit of it. That's not how you learn anything. Here's how I

It does, but it also sounds like one of the older GPTs - much higher and sturdier guardrails now. While do I also get the sense that GPT has loosened up a little?

Depends on what kind of profs.Those who teach low level systems stuff absolutely need you to be able to program in C or something similar. On the theoretical side you can kinda sorta get away with very strong math skills. You open CLRS - it

27 is a Tao prime. Terence Tao suggested 27 was a prime number on The Colbert Report in 2014. He was likely very nervous.

Kernel Hacking. Human judgement here is still required and irreplaceable. For fast employment - Non Destructive Testing. Keep studying physics, though. Go up to modern Solid State physics for a possibility of entering industries that revolv

How far along are you? You could finish your phd, then get a two year diploma in mechatronics, electrical eng, instrumentation. All near future proof and apparently pay well enough. You could even cert up in NDT, IRATA, ROV and that sort of

This extends to alien bio as well. I took a lengthy write-up from reddit about supposed alien physiology and asked Claude to summarize it for me. It was flagged. It went thru when I added a text about how it was speculative and not at all i

Free ChatGPT is like a fast car with a barely responsive steering wheel. Guardrails on that thing are insane. Even for math. It wont let you think. It will try to fix mistakes you havent even made yet based on intent that was ascribed to yo

A US visa is typically for entering only. It doesnt say anything about the duration of stay. The latter is determined by CBP at the port of entrance and printed on your I-94. This is never emphasized anywhere.

They would likely pick the cards according to what your text looks like at the moment. You should at least ask them to use a random function. And even then they might keep picking according to the mood/content of the text.

A random stall by the road in LA will charge you $10 flat and the same one in SF will ask for $20. Neither will have a screen for tips. THAT would make your SF purchases simply stratospheric. I have lived in Jersey City, NJ and New Orleans,
