Sorry so CRSP will be fast-tracking SpaceX? I just checked and my Vanguard has 50% in that so would like to understand how exposed...

I can't tell if your first sentence is a joke or not...

Come back to me when it has solved P=NP.

One concern is that it will become more and more challenging to conduct cutting edge maths research without substantial resources only available at very rich institutions (to pay for state of the art AI assistants).

Out of interest, what would you estimate the proportion of new maths that is used by other fields to be? Do you think much of this new maths is potentially underutilised as it were?

Can you suggest some good ones?

Hint: you are and always have been

It amazes me that people seem to think that once they have clocked in for work they have entered some kind of dystopian dictatorship where all their rights are immediately forfeited. And that people are fundamentally not allowed to push back against this kind of bullshit.

What a pathetic quisling attitude to life.

ML reviewing is a total joke. Why do you have noob students reviewing a conference paper.

Nice reference, thanks.

Ha, yeah I remember the Galveston beaches as a kid. Left when I was 9, I can't imagine things have improved much since then...

Unfortunately, you could argue that the model provider has also learned something, i.e. the interaction can be used as additional training data to train subsequent models.

A book length version of content of this quality would be an awesome coffee table book!

Very interesting perspective, thanks. One of the other comments mentioned that in Tokyo they heavily use concrete blocks. Not sure how accurate that is but how does their approach differ to the US?

I think you are deluded if you think the latter does not happen with hosted models.

What about some kind of mass underwater drone attack? Feels like it might be feasible in the not too distant future...

'some sort of security' - oh great, security as an afterthought.

You're forgetting about the supply chain. Who manufactures all the solar panels and wind turbines? Honest question - are we increasing the risks of becoming energy dependent on China? Or does Europe have the ability to manufacture its own?

I mean this is just dumb. Why would anyone respect intellectual property anymore in this scenario for example. And governments will invest everything they have to steal or copy the knowledge required to compete.

Why would this matter if you're just using the database?

Is there any implicit understanding in the community that byte types will inevitably be added to LLVM? I see that there has been a recent GSOC effort (https://blog.llvm.org/posts/2025-08-29-gsoc-byte-type/ ) but it's unclear whether this has resolved most of the issues or is still an open research problem.

How do you check the hardware is compatible in practice? Is there some reliable resource for doing this?

What, we should have a wild west where everyone can set up their own nuclear power station without any compliance or certification? If not then these are part of the build cost... it's like saying we shouldn't include testing as part of the cost of building software.

Why fintech specifically?

I will always fly Ryanair ahead of other low cost carriers in Europe as unlike easyJet for example they don't overbook. The most painful experience I've had was to arrive at an airport with a young family and get all the way to the easyJet flight gate to be told the flight is overbooked. And unlike the US where this starts an auction it's basically tough luck. Should be outright fraud in my opinion.

Some kind of casual or eventual consistency related invariants perhaps?

I don't understand why the nuclear industry wouldn't pile in to fund research into this area (as a potential way to clean up nuclear waste). Probably I don't understand how this fungus actually works and it is impossible!

I don't understand when people blame AI for buying DDR5 DRAM - aren't they mostly interested in HBM? Or is the fab space being diverted to manufacture more HBM than DDR DRAM previously?

Not a dumb question. The links to mesh networking etc seem interesting. It sounds like the insights from descriptive set theory could yield new hardness/impossibility results in computational complexity, distributed algorithms etc.
