This is the second comment that mentions an iPhone - what's the catch?

no, the OP says it in a different sense, namely that even if you are duly impressed by these advancements, they will stop in a few years and a new line of research will be needed

Yeah, that's the issue, the autospotter is not perfect. Maybe someone from HN could enlighten us.

The new physics is not in the 4.7 but that in that the model's third and fourth variables seem to be new, compared to the known models.

This quote came to mind when seeing the title but I could not remember the source (read it in high-school, I think before learning formally about derivatives). I'm glad someone found it.

That collection of posts/comments is highly misleading.

Better just to search for the subject on reddit.

I would never even consider buying an Apple product due to the price.

I don't get a rickroll, I get a redirect to the address you posted.

They also did that with Scholze in 2018.

Don't we all have tons of pictures of ourselves online already?

Yeah 22 years ago as a young kid I was obsessed with reading the SOFTWARE catalog of my local computer store (the hardware stuff was all video cards that all looked like each other, the software was exciting stuff like space simulators! 3D graphics! video editing!).

And this was after the days of

Wow! I never thought there were records of that.

One option is to go into academia, they don't care about private sector experience.

New comment by Rerarom in "Why write about anything when there's smarter people than you?"

Rerarom — Sun, 03 Jul 2022 14:56:21 +0000

Because until we get mind uploading, there aren't enough smart people to cover everything (e.g. even though Tao knows way more math than the average mathematician, I have solved interesting math problems that are simply not in his or in any other genius's immediate interests).

Yeah, it's a very strong result.

On the other hand, for a say fourth degree equation, it just says that some solution expressible in terms of higher roots exists, but not how to find it. To find the expression, one needs to study the "generic" equation.

What are some good alternatives to Duolingo with fewer dark patterns? (And don't suggest traditional methods, I am very much not against them, I am just curious about apps and such.)
