Putting a slide deck together (outside of work), despite agreeing with Tufte on this matter. Iโll also create a handout that tells the story better than the slides and deliver that, too, but was asked to produce a slide deck, and I think thatโs part of the โeffort theater.โ
Using Beamer for the slides, but not a theme that looks like Beamer because humans have eyes.
Any conversation
Everytime I come on here I feel so dumb compared to everyone -_- mostly because I didn't come here from GitHub or any other major site like it .. :P

Any advantages in using the app instead of having the site as a PWA on Android?

The top post is always quoting its parent below it, the different bg makes it distinct. Just need to get used to it, same on X.

It is never the #scientistsnotesfollow who say we know everything we need to know but always the #administratornotesfollow or the #politicalnotesfollow #leadernotesfollow
In my opinion, it's because there's always something more to know, especially in science-related fields.

Thatโs awesome. Congrats to your friend.
Interesting. Why?
It seems this year is when big budget LLM players overtake independent academic mathematicians, in speed at least. The Jacobian conjecture, a lot of Erdos problems, now even the Navier Stokes millenium problem. Solved due to new model releases, all within this summer.
So, can we now say that LLMs are able to do things that nobody has done before? Can they extrapolate?
in math it can definitely prove statements that havent been proven before. I dont think thats the big thing though since it also writes sentences nobody has ever written before and in software it can write programs that havent been written before. Its just that the speed and scalability that has overtaken human mathematicians and programmers
