A few thousand extraordinary minds per generation are not responsible for significant human progress. That is a bad take from a complexity standpoint. Nonetheless, modern AI systems are successful due to acting as complex systems.

[Dr Singularity @Dr_Singularity]

Human civilization is about to gain trillions of extra (200+ IQ) minds.

For all of history, progress was limited by the tiny number of genius level humans alive at any moment.

A few thousand extraordinary minds per generation had to push the entire species forward.

One Einstein.
One Newton.
One Tesla.
One Turing.
One von Neumann.
One Feynman.

Civilization was bottlenecked by biology,
by lifespan,
by education speed,
by attention,
by memory,
by fatigue,
by the number of rare geniuses nature happened to produce.

That bottleneck will soon be obliterated. To achieve this asap, we need to build as many chips and data centers as possible, as fast as possible.

The 2030s will not be just very advanced. They will be unreal. Well beyond Star Trek level.

Stewart should only be used by students who intend calculus to be the last math course they take. Taking real analysis after Stewart causes shock.

[Valeriy M., PhD, MBA, CQF @predict_addict]

Utter BS post claiming this book is most used in the world.

The facts are it is inferior book that’s why it is not used by any prime math nations. Neither China nor Russia nor France uses books like this.

Also it was sold at hundreds of thousands per year a pale number in comparison to Kiselev Calculus book that was used by over 80m+ students for over 70 years.

The fact that it is used in USA probably also explains why many us students can’t manage calculus.

@aldotcom Wrong courthouse. The picture is of the bankruptcy court (fed bke ND AL).

@pmarca Relevance post August 2026 (where digital watermarking (eg SynthID), provenance, etc are imposed by EU and CA law)? I suppose a US only text based model could escape statutory scrutiny at that time, but doubtful any good model won’t build to the EU standard.

@nikki_potnick HAHAHAHAHA and the largest unsolved (and physically important) question is how the lawyer transmitted the invoice beyond the event horizon.

[Keyser Soze @stemesq]

Under the theory of special relativity, a lawyer traveling closer to the speed of light relative to the client would experience time dilation. The lawyer’s clock ran slow relative to the client’s clock - the lawyer packed more billable events into their experienced minutes.

Just gonna leave this here

[Keyser Soze @stemesq]

@elsleightholm I recognize this from the Strogatz book. We used part of this book when I took dynamical systems and chaos.

[Keyser Soze @stemesq]

@TerryLambert100 At least.

@miniapeur Functional analysis is great.

@FastbreakHoops5 He is jumping too late on most of these.

@dieworkwear Reminds me of the Frank Lloyd Wright designed home where mathematician Walter Rudin resided in Madison, Wisconsin.

[Keyser Soze @stemesq]

@RobertFreundLaw This happened in my state. Was expecting a post from you on this.

[Keyser Soze @stemesq]

@zachpogrob This must have been in New York (new law enacted requiring among other things ID to purchase creatine).

[Keyser Soze @stemesq]

@RobertFreundLaw This triggered me more than that demand letter response, and that’s saying something.

[Keyser Soze @stemesq]

@alz_zyd_ Agree, felt like a bag of tricks, but it’s a prerequisite for PDE and dynamical systems, which are both useful. Could be combined with those classes though.

[Keyser Soze @stemesq]

@writeclimbrun I’m not in that space of the law but have observed law partners doing large transactions. That is a tremendous amount.

[Keyser Soze @stemesq]

@nikki_potnick Yes! And they often don’t understand asymmetries, for example absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

[Keyser Soze @stemesq]

@CoffeeBlackMD Massie proposed this as well. Makes sense.
