antoinexp··on $10M AI Mathematical Olympiad Prize
Might depend on the terms you have in mind, but current consensus seems to be more like 4-5 years as we speak on https://www.metaculus.com/questions/6728/ai-wins-imo-gold-me...
antoinexp··on Overhyping hydrogen as a fuel

[Edit] consensus established in February 2020

antoinexp··on Consciousness is not computation
As a side comment however, Roger Penrose has this argument about some kind of quantum effects from microtubules in cells https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Penrose#Consciousness (but to go as far as to say that this might be the reason in the end why consciousness is not a computation is still a whole debate however, and his theory is far from making a consensus I am afraid)
antoinexp··on New 10 Terapixel Image of the Night Sky Contains 1B Galaxies

antoinexp··on Theia: Cloud and Desktop IDE
Indeed, and they have this tool https://github.com/cdr/code-server which is pretty much like vscode in a web browser launched through a potential remote server. Is Theia any better?
