the answer is no, they do not know if many of these results are just slop, and have already withdrawn 3 of them

In 2012, I stood on a stage with Anne Carson as a volunteer grad student to help her perform BRACKO, an adaptation of Sappho, where my job was to say the word "bracket" every time there was a bracket, which was more than two hundred times

I take it back, the lean has a sorry in it: github.com/openai/math/... To be fair I turned in assignments like that in grad school too

looking forward to the next revision to the nation's k-12 math curriculum where they start subjecting 3rd graders to type theory instead of having them draw venn diagrams

we invented the machine that can produce a formal proof of true results and it turns out that sucks! and you don't understand anything! a great argument against mathematical formalism

Just wanted to say that six hours later I’m still thinking about the color of that sky. Would you consider selling prints?

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

It really pisses me off whenever I see those “you couldn’t make Blazing Saddles today because of woke” comments because my dude do you know what movie you *actually* couldn’t make today? To Wong Foo, because of everything that made that movie possible having gotten worse in 30 years

i've obviously posted about this before, but it really is amazing. until recently it seemed totally reasonable (if a bit pessimistic) to go "other people's experiences are just an inscrutable epistemic quandry. there's literally no way to ever know if 'aphantasiacs' exist". and then, we just did it

i do understand why people are intuitively skeptical of aphantasia. but i think the state of the evidence as of recently is very persuasive and people should not be skeptical anymore

philosophers should have simply *answered* the deepest and most intractable questions ever posed. instead they've chosen to fuck around. disappointing

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent
