It’s the last day of the month. Time to spend all of your employer’s remaining Claude tokens trying to solve P = NP. who knows it might work. it’s your duty to humanity as a citizen of the world

The new M83 album is quite good! very reminiscent of his mid-oughts work like Before the Dawn Heals Us and Saturdays = Youth, less indie pop and more shoegaze

I'd argue that the separability wasn't even that hypothetical. Old symbolic AI work (so-called "GOFAI") was very interested in the problem of automating rational/symbolic reasoning, including under uncertainty or ambiguity. That looks a lot like what we'd call "thinking"!

I thought the "tropical" in "tropical semiring" had something to do with its structure. But it's just because the guy who invented tropical analysis lived in Brazil?
The tropical semiring has various applications (see tropical analysis), and forms the basis of tropical geometry. The name tropical is a reference to the Hungarian-born computer scientist Imre Simon, so named because he lived and worked in Brazil.[1]

Screenshot of a wikipedia article with the text: A border is suffix and prefix of the same string, e.g. "bab" is a border of "babab" (and also of "baboon eating a kebab").[citation needed]
