Can be done rigorously now, wasn't done so for decades. It was tolerated, because such problematic symbolism was used anyway in physics.

I think anyway, such an area had to be pushed for a long time to make it into convention. Philosophy, not being a moneymaker for math, has had less luck.

I wonder how analysis made it into mathematics. Now there is just a schism in the doctrine in a lot of places.

I think it is a "does it 'solve' problems I care about?” kind of thing. I think it is the foundation for validating inferences in math. The choice axiom went from, being considered problematic, to being mostly accepted because new problems from it did not hurt old problems.

It is being retweeted and commented on.

Much of the comments are smartphone recordings of the actual state of Ukraine right now. Also a lot of mocking and memes from Ukrainians and other westerners.

@zudn

The fact that can be run on a raspberry pi is pretty attractive.

No idea why, but a lot of scientific books and journals are free to download right now through Springer.

CoCoAlib (Computations in Commutative Algebra library)

This thing is actually nice. My tired-brain can understand C/C++. It is well documented and has tests and debugging procedures. Is that a Hilbert Algebra? I can has type PolyRing?

Its actually a cutout of this guy's thesis.

But the data is self referential. They have enumeration as a baseline. The timeout of which can be set for whatever their program can beat. Aside from that, the data used as input has been tailored over 4 years to make their program able to learn it. In the code tasks that are too tough are just commented out. So of course they have a near 100% learning rate.

There is also nothing to compare it to besides an older version of itself.

Ah... The fraudulent research coming out of MIT and Cornell, and my 4 hours of sleep, are not mixing well.

Do Americans think they have plot armor or something?

@Sky

That tends to happen when you enter a war zone.

C would more appropriately be an embedded dev next to a bench of electronics.

@setthemfree

Yep. Hopefully it means Putin is getting desperate, and will be deposed after draining the rest of Russia's military might on this.

@LaCrecerelle

Its a different scenario. Drawing this pattern first is also a form of racism.

Mechanical and electrical engineers still coding in Fortran and C.
