Not to forget mathematicians from other fields. They might be equally unfamiliar with most of our research topics. Yes we do have plenty of practice adjusting our explanations to t…

You are also discounting your time which is not fair

How about the doesn't need to be paid in cash? The government claims a percentage of the company over time...as always only above some level of valuation

Well for one with a gigantic derivatives market compared to the underlying one it becomes relatively cheap to manipulate the underlying market. If you can make a gigantic bet on th…

In particular that means that if you fill the border up to a depth of 2 on one board with pieces, it becomes a theoretically inpenetrable fortress. For an overdone example see 2024…

I absolutely agree. Not re-running the computation for the first 4*10^18 and claiming a new record is absolutely disingenuous. I could verify just a single example that hasn't been…

You are assuming that the underreporting will be uniform. In reality people may be underrporting things they are embarrassed about and maybe even overreporting the opposite. This i…

Well if you consider 1/z as a function of a complex coordinate it definitely makes a lot of sense to set it to infty. That identifies +infty and -infty if you restrict yourself to …

Yeah but width-first immediately gives you the solution for any finite alphabet. So in that sense it is trivial.

The nice thing about formal verification is exactly that. You have a separate tool that's very much like a compiler that can check those 1200 pages and tell you that it's true. The…

AI allowed him to avoid detection for a long time. It allowed him to create thousands of songs so that the each one would only get moderate amounts of streams thus not raising susp…

I agree. It's a volume of water bounded by a sphere. I'm just being pedantic about the common use of the word in this thread. I'm also somewhat surprised no one else was being peda…

I'm not sure if you are kidding but just in case you are not this is very misleading and in fact misguided. Refering to polynomials as exponential just results in confusion essenti…

Ok I don't mean to be pedanntic but a sphere is just the boundary of a ball. If we are trying to capture volume we should be talking about balls of water.

We know how to do this and have observed this tons of times at this point. This would not be novel in any way. This is about exciting the nucleus which is completely different.

It's essentially just the boundary of the Mandelbrot set which makes sense as that's where the calculation is the most unstable.

The theorem holds not for arbitrary dynamical systems but under two conditions: 1) The flow preserves volume 2) All orbits are bounded. The second law of thermodynamics is in a sen…

Television typically runs ~7 minutes of unskippable ads for 23 minutes of content.

I'm sorry but how, other than colorful language, is it useful to consider every cell as a universe? And how does that put us at the center of the universe? Equating cell to univers…

A similar thing also happens in the modern formulation of the Stoke's theorem. Once you set up the machinery of differential forms it becomes almost a trviality which is just amazi…

There are simple practical reasons though. We don't do that to be fancy. There are simply not enough letters in the latin alphabet to not have common intersection in writing. We li…

At the very least they do not allow keychain to interact with browsers other than safari. This means that your autofill does not synchronize easily with your mobile devices. That's…

A simple compressor solves that issue so I really doubt this would be an effective measure.

I'm a fan of his work but that's just not what Fields medals are for.
