I think they spent millions pursuing strategies to attack that particular problem? I don't think it takes 15 million for their model to get trained on your chat logs. This is probably all automated internally. If they did scoop your id

Moving forward, I can't imagine other mathematicians wanting to have this kind of experience. So there has to be a shift away from these services.

I mean, yes, there are a lot of things that are often omitted in mathematical writing and it's up to the reader to infer them (that's "mathematical maturity"). When textbooks discuss intervals, such as [a,b] for example,

yea this is something I've been wondering about. I'm not too keen on the finance aspect, but I understand that the big players aren't turning a profit. OpenAI is still losing money. I've seen some discussion related to i

Yes I think so too. It wasn't CO2, but methane in the form of methane hydrate.

I remember watching a documentary which talked about feedback loops in the climate. It might have been in the context of history. If the ocean warms up enough, it causes the CO2 in the ocean itself (either in the deposits or the gas saturat

I think the argument for pi should be somewhat straightforward since people usually do trigonometry in high school? I don't know an argument for e that doesn't involve some kind of calculus.

by zero-sharp 28d ago
the argument for the existence of pi or e doesn't connect as easily to something as "tangible" as a polynomial equation, but the arguments are still out there

>It seems to me something like history might be more at risk. In mathematics a wrong result can be checked. With something like history checking answers is not always so easy. Isn't that exactly why we need historians? How do you fa

The parent is making a point about the rate/scale at which technology replaced workers. If you think the hypothetical is too extreme, then what would a more realistic version be? Are you uncertain about the rate of disruption?

there were two lead developers from FFMPEG on Lex Fridman's youtube channel who talked about performance gain from assembly. They claimed the opposite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUo0UwZOaRw

That's one interpretation: the system doesn't take of your specific needs and therefore it's neglectful or inadequate. Another interpretation is that the teacher is doing exactly what the school needs them to do because most

Are you asking me to believe that the educational system underserves kindergartners because the average kindergarten teacher can't provide an education on your narrow technical interest? The responsibilities of the average kindergarten

I have a gripe with this attitude because it goes beyond browser use. Inserting the new fancy thing everywhere is often unnecessary and affects accessibility in a negative way for a nonneglible number of your users. And that was the point

I don't think your comment represents the situation very well. They allowed the user to upload the data and they're storing the data regardless, right?

I like this answer. For me it's not about showing others that you're correct. Instead, it's about feeling like you're being heard/acknowledged. I'm not trying to be the "lone free thinker". But if I s

A totally understandable situation. Most people just want to use technology to accomplish their immediate goal. I'm tech savvy and I lose my mind every time I get distracted by broken/misconfigured technology.

So I just searched my email on HIBP again. Most of the leaks I see there were from old websites I hardly cared about securing from many years ago. But, in general, how do I find out what has actually been leaked (if it's not website sp

I'm sorry, but was there a specific point you wanted to make in relation to the first two sentences of the grandparent's post?
