People talk about research mathematics being a science or an art, but it's also a sport. AI will kill the sport aspect of it. The art will survive. The science will thrive.

With sufficient automation, there shouldn't really be a trade-off between rigor and anything else. The goal should be to automate as much as possible so that whatever well-defined useful thing can come out theory can come out faster an

This is very impressive. I once built an educational Haskell programming + math. + art web site (mathvas.com). Something like this would have simplified that a lot.

As a former professional mathematician: the benefits mentioned in the article (click-through definitions and statements, analyzing meta trends, version control, ...) do not seem particularly valuable. The reason to formalize mathematics is

It does make me uneasy that founding companies is becoming another tracked thing that people feel they can apply high-IQ pattern-matching to. Especially when startups are where first-principles thinking is the most valuable. That being said

If data did live on a manifold contained, e.g. images in R^{n^2}, then it wouldn't have thickness or branching, which it does. It's an imperfect approximation to help think about it. The use of mathematical language is not the sam

Data doesn't actually live on a manifold. It's an approximation used for thinking about data. Near total majority, if not 100%, of the useful things done in deep learning have come from not thinking about topology in any way. Deep

Make the cost of operating data centers reflect the damage to the environment and see how quickly people optimize. I don’t know how damaging storage is, but that’s the only way to make a difference.

When considering a candidate on an F-1 + OPT, what should be our expectation of their need for H1B sponsorship? What are O-1 and National Interest Waiver success rates for recent PhD grads (in computer science)?

If AI can prove major theorems, it will likely by employing similar heuristics as the mathematical community employs when searching for proofs and understanding. Studying AI-generated proofs, with the help of AI to decipher contents will he

Tablets and phones could be calm tech too if they adjusted their brightness and white-point correctly based on ambient lighting.

Great observation. I have observed the same thing in my own life. The solution: do things that you really believe people need. Then you owe it to them to find out if you actually are “good enough”, and you don’t care what others think becau

I agree that it's hard to imagine an alternate history when things happened through a mixture of pure and application-motivated work. In each example, I can see how people arrive at these notions through an application-driven mind-set

This assumes that the parts of number theory that ended up being useful could not have been developed after people realized you could do public key cryptography with primes. If the work is undertaken for its own sake, there should not be a

As a former mathematician, I completely agree. Academic math is good stuff but you end up making too many assumptions that end up being hard to reconcile with a working system. Personally, I stopped caring much about beauty because doing wo

This agrees with my experience when I was a young mathematician looking for math that is useful.
