HappyPanacea··on Learning more about Claude's mathematical capabilities
You underestimate the difficulty of RH, there are far easier problems broadly related to RH (density hypothesis, Artin's holomorphy conjecture, Stark conjectures) which are still aren't solved.
HappyPanacea··on Improving Heuristics for A* Pathfinding
Long time ago I remember reading about D* lite, I wonder how do they compare.

HappyPanacea··on Qwen3.8 Max now ranked as the best overall model by agentic index
No, a smart model should also give a concise executive summary, "brevity is the soul of wit".
HappyPanacea··on Increasing the lifespan of a bulb makes it worse in every other way
It would be nice to have the driver and LED decoupled from each other with a standard socket between driver and LED even if there is one per bulb.
HappyPanacea··on Are We Stuck with Lean?
Right, but the point is as far as I'm aware nobody accidentally found a bug in Lean by proving a theorem in a non adversarial context (and this submission is a link to a discussion at Mathoverflow). Also I think most formal verification is done using Coq and Isabelle/HOL, no?

HappyPanacea··on The rise and fall of language diversity through the Holocene
What a coincidence I was just recently wondering when in history had the most distinct languages spoken. This peak described here is later than what I remember reading.

> Great loss of linguistic diversity did not begin with recent colonial expansion but as multinational empires first spread along with their languages, pathogens, and cultures.

Insert "they're the same picture" meme here.

I guess it is the 2-dimensional section such that it have constant total brightness. You can then multiply later by your desired brightness.
HappyPanacea··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
Not necessarily, commoditize your complement is a common strategy USA & Europe are more services heavy than China which seems to have advantage at manufacturing these days if AI trained on everybody data can replace some of it than it reduce China depend on others, increase demands from other countries to china's manufacturing and reduce their dependence on USA & Europe and reduce USA & Europe bargaining chip in any future negotiate.
HappyPanacea··on Israeli firm BlackCore suspected of meddling in New York and Scotland votes
Your inability to distinguish "Small amount of people make sure to look and echo everything" and "All the reporting is controlled by the antisemitic media conglomerates" is noted
HappyPanacea··on Israeli firm BlackCore suspected of meddling in New York and Scotland votes
False trichotomy 4. Small amount of people make sure to look and echo everything that paint Israel in bad light and this work, we know this work because this entire post is about a company (small amount of people) influencing New York and Scotland votes.

Also it is entirely possible all 1+2+4 hold

> My nation, the most powerful in the world,

USA?

> Yet, listen to Zionists and I’m practically living in Weimar Germany. That dog won’t hunt.

Yeah this is so detached from reality I have to ask how you arrived at this conclusion and consider reexamining the way you consume information. Both in my own personal impression and according ADL global index USA's antisemitism is a low. Because "Zionists" have pro-Israel bias they will perceive any one who support Israel positively, and no one support Israel more than USA, so they will likely view USA as positive further lessening negtive views.

Remilk is an Israeli food-tech startup using yeasts to produce milk proteins. Frankly I find your comment rather odd, why should a startup be more loud because other people are biased? Diplomacy is the job of the state. We have innovative index on which Israel does well and large number of unicorn per capita.
HappyPanacea··on Apple decided not to roll out Siri in EU after denied request for exemption
I have never seen this argument against (admittedly I'm not big into such debates) right to repair, did it came up somewhere?
HappyPanacea··on Italians and Dutch share the same gestural instinct for teaching
> but this was a huge deal for me living in Israel.

I lived in Israel my whole life and I don't remember ever encountering the notion that 'speaking with your hands is lacking "class"' or that ' It's generally seen as "proper" to not use your hands.'. I just looked and easily found two videos with Israel's Prime Minister where he used hand gestures while talking.

> In the military, especially in basic training, that would probably send you doing pushups.

No, I don't think so, why would it?

No, there were efforts to ban TikTok well before Oct 7th 2023 in 2020-2021 by the first Trump Admin, and there was ongoing effort in 2022-2023 during Biden Admin.

I'm not sure why you specified nation-states when this is just as likely to happen in any state.
HappyPanacea··on One neat trick to end extreme poverty
Technology, crediting this to capitalism is just as dumb as blaming every society’s ills on capitalism.
