Playing the devil's advocate here. Suppose I use model A to do all heavy lifting (e.g. generating a bunch of good ideas) and then I go to the model B to complete the formalization. Accoring to a weird (unfair) tradition in math, the ho

Why did I assume someone has written an essay? Because he said so! Quoting: > I do like his ideas (and I wrote similar things about platonic forms elsewhere) What is dismissive about my interest to his write-up? (I'm sure it was a

The ontological status of the equations is still unclear. BTW, if you can provide a link to your own essay, I would be interested :-)

But the equation is a platonic form! Otherwise, you will be introducing a third concept, which is unnecessary b/c it has no advantage over the traditional notion of "platonic form". > It's an attractive framework, b

In technology in general, this is a typical state of affairs. No one knows how electric current works, which doesn't stop anyone from using electric devices. In programming... it depends. You can run some simulation of a complex system

An impressive achievement indeed. That's exactly what one'd expect from LLM. If someone wants to see/hear what real music is, listen to this, just to get a reference point. This will make you cry. Literally. https:/&#x2

Pursuing AGI? What method do they use to pursue something that no one knows what it is? They will keep saying they are pursuing AGI as long as there's a buyer for their BS.

Very true. But the same applies to teaching. Mathematicians don't know where even to begin - for some of them, it's all too obvious. But the same happens with any subject. Someone proposes a certain design - but after many (20...

Not yet, but now I will, just out of curiosity. There's a problem with mathematicians teaching the subject. After all, the youtube lectures were also given by mathematicians. In attempt to make things "accessible", they de-e

As a math major, I scored a perfect 100 on my Linear Algebra exam in 1974. However, just two days later, I couldn't recall a single thing. A few years ago, with ample free time, I decided to refresh my (nonexistent) memory by watching
