In 1993 the Superconducting Supercollider was cancelled. Estimated cost: $8 billion. An exodus of physicists left to Wall Street, bringing fancy maths and dubious risk management. 15 years later the global financial crisis cost ~$20 trillion. This is why you don't defund physics!

The ETH repository has a paper where it appears an Anthropic internal model independently disproved the Exponential Time Hypothesis? x.com/rrwilliams/sta…

He’s right and I’m tired of pretending he isn’t

Seems obvious if you listen to the full call that a) the employee assumed the caller was correct about Talarico having been a patient but b) was confused because he wasn’t listed as either present or discharged in the last four days. 1/2

Innovator’s dilemma is a killer. What can I say?

OpenAI has proven P = NP, but they refuse to release it as part of their math dump (observe the skipped numbers in their results). The tractable provably efficient algorithm for formal proof search would be devastating to their current marketing campaign as proof search provider.
