If it doesn’t pay for non-permanent staff salary that would be sad for the maths ppl indeed.

OTOH I have a phd in th physics, 15+ y of academic senior researcher experience, now working 60+ h /w on an unpaid internship and using lunch money to pay for tokens.

And I’m by far not most unlucky

Edit: just to put things in perspective, my phd field (string theory) has 15-30M€ annual funding in Europe (per google)

Never tried OpenSCAD, maybe I’m old fashioned but graphic workflow works better for me.

Serious answer: on a yearly 130T$ GDP at least a good third is spent on destroying this planet. 50$B which ends up paying phds is barely one peanut.

There’s holography in string theory: AdS/CFT but this rather maps 4d super Yang mills (on the boundary of AdS5) in an AdS5xS5 background: which is one holography correspondence we know works.

Holography is much more common, but we only really understand it on hyperbolic spaces.

Also since it has a theory at strong coupling on one side we cannot really do calculation on that side and verify it.

You can use it tho to make calculations.

- Maths and theoretical physics are very cheap (compared to other disciplines)

- Maths and physics researchers provide lectures for all other scientific fields

- Brut forcing maths/physics problems require debilitating amount of compute/money. This will make research in these topics even more biased towards rich countries.

- There most certainly will be pervers effect, ppl refraining from publishing results etc

- it’s very unlikely that private ai labs will play ball with academic research. They scrapped the internet and now sell access to their models.

As much as I’m happy to see new tools, I have the feeling there will be nefarious effects.

I certainly do not miss compiling X11!

It biases maths and theoretical physics towards the rich.

That one thing that was free.

Somehow, after decades of careful curation, the cable I need is always missing!

Somewhere somehow dualities seems to relate completely different systems, that non relativistic dissipative systems happen in all generality somewhere in that mess is barely a surprise.

I mean, if one believes ER=EPR GR and quantum mechanics are just the same thing.

Research on the topic seems to have stalled a decade ago. Probably for a good reason.

yes you can : https://arxiv.org/abs/1211.1983

but you might need to understand it in the context of holography

in some frame you can recover non-relativistic symmetries, we got a paper on this back then, but so hardcore i only understand parts of it https://arxiv.org/abs/1205.5777

Degrowth per IPCC / earth system scientists mean the 10% the richest consuming less power.

It’s much more a wealth distribution problem rather than a technological one. Both IPCC and IPBES agree there.

Can’t wait for the downvotes on that one. That’s the one hill I’ll die on, literally.
