Very much analogous to the current AI proofs debate

In the future, some mathematics will be proven but not understood.

Frontier Mathematicians will work on proving theorems, and Pure Mathematicians will work on taking proven results and making them understood.

Someone has run an experiment, and in this experiment they created a large amount of evidence that seems to say that quite an important particle in particle physics weighs something slightly different from what we thought it should.

This is important because the weight of that particle was predicted by our generally-accepted theory of how the universe works. If the weight is different, it means the theory hasn't taken into account everything that it should.

I had a completely different interpretation to everyone else. I read it as the astrologer doubling down on his assertion despite the evidence staring him in the face. The guy can't have kids, so he should look after the ones he has! (Even though they prove that he CAN have kids)

The Bridgerton example is silly and not comparable. His character is barely in the other books, so of course he's not in the other seasons. It's like asking why Professor Quirrell isn't in the second Harry Potter film.

It's not the full-time job of each member.

Worth noting that N26 was touted for a while as a grim reaper that would come to the UK with its vast capitalisation (at the time about 2-3x as a much as any UK mobile bank) and blow Monzo and Revolut away.

A good lesson that a well-funded incumbent in another market can't always make the hop to a different geography with assured success.

You would be hard pressed to elucidate a biological causation there.

Cars and air-con are the main offenders there, right?

Incidentally what doesn't Monese (https://monese.com/business) have that you need? Is it the end-of-year statement?

The analogy I've heard for early detection of neurodegeneration is that it turns the condition from terminal to chronic. This is similar to how late detection of HIV usually means AIDS and death, now it means a manageable condition, but life.

Interestingly, there are a companies working on this from different angles. Here's one doing it with voice analysis: https://auralanalytics.com/

This is an outdated version of the Tube map.

1. Yes 2. Basically 3. No 4. No

To be fair you have Simple Bank and Qapital in the US if you're looking for Monzolikes

I remember having band practice at our drummer's house when I was younger. The drummers mother and our vocalist knew each other. To reach the high notes, she said to him, you have to "sing higher" and your voice will naturally fail down to where you want to be.

These predications kind of feel like that. Kurzweil was "singing higher" than where we ended up. Just enough that it's a clear overshoot, but not but so much that he's off-key.

If only you'd planned for the traffic from HN!

Website looks down to me.

Amazon Echo and Google Home are chatbots, but with a voice interface. They seem relatively well accepted. Your thoughts?

I don't think that's odd at all. We should be doing away with our reverence for this or that technology. Ultimately if there's no token/coin involved, it's none of our business.

How does the unit economics work here? To my understanding, BTC (even after SegWit) has non-negligible transaction fees. Is this site just eating into VC money to make things feeless?

How do they plan on contacting the employees en masse if the computer is off?

I wouldn't muddy the waters here with talk of Monzo. Most chip reader cards don't do what Monzo does in terms of real-time backend transaction verification, that's a generation further than the stuff being rolled out in the US.

The bottom line says "and and"

Very much still a meme at this point

It's always tempting to think about the body in terms of the technological concepts of the age. It's not automatically wrong, but there's nothing special about this particular era of computing that would mean we're working with the same methods as the human brain. Not even the fact that we call our systems "neural networks".

Do you not find that websites such as the above put out too much content, to the extent that new points and insights that you hadn't considered before get too diluted amongst the amount of time you spend reading said articles?

> For my perspective in France, here the farming lobby is inexistant/inefficient

Tell that to the EU's Common Agricultural Policy. The kickbacks France gets compared to other countries is insane. Your lobbyists have been most effective!

From the article:

>It was the biggest biotech IPO ever in the U.S., raising $360 million. It has largely held up, too. Axovant’s shares, which opened at $15, currently trade around $13.25.

and further down:

> When Axovant went public, a columnist at FierceBiotech warned that it should “scare the hell” out of investors

They're two halves of the same photo, but being able to drag that bar sure would be nice.

They are now, but the uninformed reader can't assume that that's static throughout history. There will have been some point where that became fully true, some point where it wasn't, and some continuous function of time defining the extent to which that's true in between. Can you define any of the latter two things on the list?

Would you mind unpacking that further? I love living in London and would be keen to hear your grievances.
