It's not that the writing style is bad; in fact LLMs write actually pretty well. It's just too much overfitted. And even a style that, in itself, is pleasurable to read, becomes annoying when the same figures of speech are used ov

In fact, this is an opportunity to anticipate what is going to be written. I studied maths, so I am not sure how it would work for other fields of study. But one thing that worked very well for me was to write everything, spoken or written,

Grothendieck did not have a comprehensive view of mathematics, nor he ever claimed to. There are vast swathes of mathematics (e.g. PDE or probability) that never fell under Grothendieck's radar

Computational mathematics may have adopted conventions from computer science, but I assure you that the alphabetical order convention is definitely the standard in most pure mathematics (with some exceptions, such as the Ascoli-Arzelà theor

I'd be curious to try it but I don't understand from the site whether it is mobile only. It claims that there is a utility to sync with desktop but then it doesn't run on desktop?

I suggest Mylio: it ticks all the things you required, except possibly of `multiple files as part of the same "image"`. It will store everything locally, keep your folder structure, every metadata is inside a sidecar XML, allows f

I mean, isn't it trivial? For instance, you can make any Euler characteristic you want by making a cell complex with a 1-cells and b 2-cells and then the Euler characteristic will be 1 + b - a. Am I missing something? If this is the pr

I am Italian and at my previous work at a bank, I had a two month notice (originally one, but increased with seniority). As far as I know, it is pretty common in Italy, and employers know that when they hire someone, the person will only jo

I was going to write the same thing. I checked the first three problems and all solutions are partial at best. Now, don't get me wrong, this is still impressive. But putting the problems there with the implication that qwen solves them

How complex is it to configure? I have an instance of NextCloud from Hetzner, but I would rather not misconfigure it. Also, is there a mobile app? Most of the time when I look at pictures I am on the phone

For what is worth, I do appreciate their links, and their resources are pretty informative (I am not by any means affiliated with Pinecone)

Good luck learning everything that humanity knows about physics in six years! :-) Luckily, you don't really need to do that before starting research

> who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast! Well, interpretation is pretty useful for a REPL. And a REPL is not just useful to avoid compilation, but also as a way to explore a new API. And, most importantly, to preserve

Actually, the Suzie Q is a step in lindy hop, so probably the character takes the name from that.

Why not? It's a stereotype for pure mathematicians to like what they do because it's not applied, even though - like all stereoptypes - it has to be taken with a grain of salt. The thing is, once something is applied, it has to de
