Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.

An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.

This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

Very important read.

"if AI mathematics continues to progress at anything like its current rate -- which is what I expect to happen -- then we will face a crisis very soon"

people don’t understand the work ethic required to be a professional researcher. a pro basketball player’s job is to make baskets so they shoot 500 shots a day. my job is to have ideas so I take 14 showers

I cannot get the "fo shure!" out of my head.

In 24hrs it's turned into a sickness.

Every thought in my head now gets a comment by a second voice that says "fo shure! fo shure!"

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Even Grok agrees.

I can't tell if it's a joke or not, but no matter what it's very funny 🤣

Our latest publication on extending the snpboost framework is online 🎉
Via targeted loss function we enable the tailored construction of #PRS for time-to-event and count data and the construction of individual prediction intervals via quantile regression!

We investigated how anchor regression can be integrated in our snpboost PRS framework to increase transferability across ancestries ⚓ have a look at my poster at #eshg2024 and find me there on Monday afternoon or just stop me in the hall to learn more about it 😊

@bayesianboy Disagree. I believe already gpt4 is intelligent, and sometimes logical and rational. I don't know what cognizant means :)

i try not to think about competitors too much, but i cannot stop thinking about the aesthetic difference between mathematics and computer science

[Hannah Klinkhammer @hannah_klinki]

When we first started developing methods for #PRS, we noticed that the performance of PRS is often assessed as R2, while its definition on test data is not always clear. Therefore we took a look at common definitions and their intrepretations:
