Honestly, I know more about US politics than about my own country because I spend more time on Lemmy than reading newspapers. And any time on Lemmy automatically exposes you to US news day in day out

A coke with a comically high amount of ice cubes, that have somehow been sharpened like pencils ?

I glanced at it and though it was bad. Then I zoomed in and it’s so much worse!

Jobs and honour, apparently (whut??)

I used to. It was nice, it was almost effortless. Now, I am more senior so the amount of bullshit admin I have to do has skyrocketed, and I every minute at my job is a minute less with my family. I still think I have the best job in the world, but that doesn’t mean anymore that I love it. Working half-time would make it nice again but that’s not an option. A full time job is just a drag, a net negative in your life, a constraint keeping you away from your loved ones (at best)

The only error in this is that it’s already happening. This year’s graduates are struggling like never before to secure short term internships necessary for their education. In my uni, we used to have a long list of potential internship placements, but they all said “AI can do better than an intern”… only other universities are accepting students as an informal exchange program

I have been considering upgrading my computer, but I don’t need to, so I have been postponing and postponing… I wonder if I will get to wait enough for a reasonable price or I will just have to suck it up when my current PC dies…

You’ll get the job, eventually, but you have to keep trying!

50 rolls for 1€. Great price! Only 2c each!

My first meal away from home was a hard boiled egg, some bread and a raw bell pepper. That was the full extent of my cooking knowledge (plus maybe pasta?). The shared kitchen was somewhat furnished, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to cook the egg

My advice is the same, but my timeline very different. The hardest moment was a couple of days in. I didn’t have friends or hobbies or knowledge of the place yet, a lot of time on my hands and I was staring down being away from home “for ever”. Then the ball got rolling on my social life and I found my tempo.

Other advice: make learning the local language an absolute priority if you don’t know it yet. Also because language courses are a great place to meet your first local friends.

I think there is also a big component of “why should I behave, when the next guy over doesn’t?”

I agree that the middle one looks thinner

Oh wow… it mostly means that I have a small kid that kept me awake most of the night! Edited

The metaphor of the open seminar is misleading. In an open seminar, the presenter stake a claim to the work, even if incomplete. In this case, the work was in private repositories. A more precise methodology would be the AI overhearing the authors discussing in their office and using that as base for a proof. This is even sneakier because there has been no public claim of the method or results by the authors.

You are right, I forgot this as a reason for my hate. And how it will drastically affect mathematics for the years to come

The more I sit on it, the more enraged I am about the news.

They most likely stole the result. They dropped a massive proof with no human understanding it (come on, how many can understand math at that level? 5 world wide? And definitely none at OpenAI), they dropped hundreds of thousands of line of validation (see above), burned a significant fraction of the metaphorical Amazon in the process, dumped more money than most math departments yearly budgets, and claimed victory.

😲

For a plank, it is. For anything else, where you are using more complex shapes and more than one material, no finite firm is known, so FEM all the way (or some other simulation technique)

They write “with a great deal of help”, so I am usure where the boundary between the two lies and where they would find themselves.
