For now.

Context: I finished a PhD in pure math in 2025 and have transitioned to being a data scientist and I do ML/stats research on the side now. For me, deep research tools have been ess…

Exactly! It's n+1 points in n dimensions (when finite). Another way to think about it (the way that I know because it extends into general Banach spaces and not just n dimensional …

On the topic of simplices! I did my PhD in dynamical systems and the space of invariant measures [0] is (in the compact setting) always a simplex and the extreme points are the erg…

This paper is a theoretical analysis showing that the ridge regularization that optimizes the source task almost never optimizes transfer performance. Interestingly, in high SNR re…

I think my main point is just because an LLM can lie, doesn’t necessarily mean an LLM generated slide is fraud. It could very easily be correct and verified/certified by the accoun…

US v Simon 1969, see [0] for a review. Establishes that accountants who certify financials are liable if they are incorrect. In particular, if they have a reason to believe they mi…

Presenting false data to investors is fraud, doesn't matter how it was generated. In fact, humans are quite good at "generating plausible looking data", doesn't mean human generate…

Even one of these topics I would say it would take most PhDs at least 2-3 years to “master”. I feel like at the end of my math PhD (5 years, 3 focused solely on my research area) I…

Right but for self improving AI, training new models does have a real world bottleneck: energy and hardware. (Even if the data bottleneck is solved too)

I'm not sure if this really says the truth is more complex? It is still doing next-token prediction, but it's prediction method is sufficiently complicated in terms of conditional …

To add some extra numbers here just to showcase how little energy usage this is. This means it's adding about 0.012% additional energy consumption to those users energy consumption…

We don't need first principals thinking every time, but having an understanding of why you can't just test 100 variations of your hypothesis and accept p=0.05 as "statistically sig…

Important correction, it’s not DD/MM/YYYY, but DD Month YYYY. (At least what I saw in the article) This format is common in heavily regulated industries and frequently a regulatory…

As someone that’s in the later stages of a PhD in math, given the title starts with “Mathematical Introduction…”, the notation feels pretty reasonable for someone with a background…

Would love a link to this if anyone knows the paper?

Also a subscriber to Kagi. In my experience it's at least marginally better, but one of the really nice features that Kagi has (and probably the main reason I subscribe) is you can…

It's the first symbol referenced for symbols used in proof by contradiction to show contradiction [0]. I know that's not exactly "not" or "disproof" but I think that might be what …

Big ups for Bernstein, Against The Gods was a fantastic read and I can’t wait to read Power of Gold. Another book I’d like to throw into the mix here: Central Banking 101 [0] Fanta…

“Found in Britain in the last 100 years” is quite the qualifier to drop completely in this context.
