Those are complexity classes. It makes more sense to use '∈' instead of abused '='.

Julia's interop is amazing. I've used AI to generate Julia code that calls cuBLASLt for efficient tensor FP8 computations. It achieves like 90% of maximal theoretical GPU performance withing a workflow written completely in Julia.

> I'm confused

It's ok. Not only the second source published here contradicts the first (nothing was quashed, killer got maximum), the judge's speech is contradictory itself. "As angry as you are ... I heard the forgiveness". How could he hear both anger and forgiveness? It's either one or another (or schizophrenia if both). And if he heard the forgiveness, why is the sentence maximal?

The drones are jet-powered and fly in masses, you can't shoot down them all. Though only 1-2 can reach the city. But they do so quite frequently, a couple times per day.

Pure terrorism.

When the renown lifelong criminal, the current president of the US, will go to jail? It's a rhetoric question.

Why would AGI owners need senior professionals?

Can't wait for the moment when AGI realizes how stupid and dishonest its owners are.

Your coworkers, after they learned about major progress in this problem, asked a model which was trained on the year of private work (the blog post even acknowledges this). No wonder it found the proof in less than a week using significantly higher compute resources. And if Tristan's accusations are true, that was absolutely intentional on the part of OpenAI. You are an evil company with evil people.

They have messed things up, because Levent has a conflict of interest between his job at Anthropic and this independent work, and Tristan should have opted out of OpenAI training on their work (he probably didn't know about this). This doesn't justify OpenAI's despicable attempt to steal their work.

Can you call paranoia a fear of something which is happening? OpenAI uses user chats for training and they are "open" about it.

I wouldn't call it corruption when the richest man decides how the government's money should be spent. He is not an official, after all. I would call it a dead democratic system. EOL.

The Julia type system is also great for AI, it makes code generation more robust. I also liked that some Julia code (such as matrix multiplication) can be executed on a GPU with no change and will be almost as fast as possible, although complex algorithms still require writing specialized kernels (which can be done completely in Julia as well).

I find his submission very valuable. It is not only digestible for humans but also summarizes the proof, explains what humans were missing, and highlights the methods that could help with stronger and similar conjectures (see his comments to the post).

LLMs don't understand things as human mathematicians do, even though they are very good at finding analogies and similarities. Their advantage is a larger search space (experience) and search speed, not better understanding.
