A friend who works at a frontier AI lab wants to bet me 20k that AI will solve nine out of every ten open maths problems before 2027 (we're in the process of agreeing upon a list of these problems). I think this is easy money, but he seems insanely confident. Am I going to lose 20k? I can still back out.
>>17069259easiest 20k he'll ever make
>>17069259I don't think it's possible anymore for a problem to be famous and not be solved by AI since every open problem gets solved by incremental progress and when enough increments are made, an AI company will sweep in and claim credit. Not saying what AI is doing isn't impressive, but the idea of any human laying the final piece is no more.
Definitely not before 2027.It's good only at discrete math. It can't do anything else so far. Ho for it.
>>17069259>I can still back out.You are retarded if you don't
>>17069259Personally, I think the chance before 2027 is quite low (assuming you didn't mean "by the end of 2027), but not low enough that I'd comfortably bet 20k. If I was a millionnaire I would take that bet, sure, but it's a major investment decision to me.
Onco fags love p53. Phyto fags love RuBisCO. Myco fags love Gal4. Micro fags love 16S rRNA. Viro fags love reverse transcriptase. What do you love anon?
>>17068893I love (You).
I love the obscure protein i worked on for my PhD which i will not mention as it would probably doxx me
>>17068893Rubisco is a shitty enzyme and severely overrated in importance. P53 is the king of tumor suppressors, we could not exist without it.
>>17069341What would you say is deserving of hype then? WUS and CLV3?
This may actually explain why we can't actually "see" the aliens, or why they blip into and out of our FOV.Idea proposed by E. Weinstein
>>17068791
>>17068790I don’t know, I’ve read quite a few of the field effect propulsion studies to know that there are indeed some credible individuals saying this same thing.
>>17064148>Idea proposed by E. WeinsteinStupid. Read Slaughterhouse Five. Vonnegut probably even got it from some pulp sci-fi story.
This is the last chapter of Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy, hardly a new idea or concept
Time is required for movement. Focusing is a form of movement. How would they "see" us if they have no time? They'd see everything at once and the won't be able of reasoning and change. Unless there are some other time dimension that allows them to move.

What's the scientific way to fix your dental arch after the age of 25 when apparently your skull has fused? I'm 27 and whenever I smile you can clearly tell I have a narrow arch as it's hard for me to smile and I have that dark area to the sides of my teeth which in a person with a normal arch should not be there and the whole space should be filled up by their teeth.
>>17067539I've spoken to a few dentists but they won't even venture to explain the procedure, they just tell me it's not worth it and show me to the door.I think it would cost around AU$45k. Do you know what it would cost?
>>17067540probably more if it's as ineffective as the doctors say
>>17067475You can literally achieve the same with MSE and FSE (types of MARPE) without surgical intervention. It's less risky and more reliable and works on most adults. They would have to scan your head anyway and then they'd tell you if it's possible or not.
>>17067458except women care about your appearance first and foremost, and by consequence, your palate https://youtu.be/KNJQhu--mQo
>>17067538Yes they cut it out but don’t detach the nerves or arteries. Its sick.I would go to PT and fix your posture for a lot of reasons aside form occlusion. Bad posture stresses cartridge and bone and wears it out and leads to back pain and all the unfixable shit later in life. If you fix it you may find your teeth settle on their own as they can move with sustained pressure even at old age. You could also just get some braces to get the front six aligned and look good and let the back get as close as normal as they can and be happy and not realize.>>17067540It’s about $40k US with some hope of insurance covering it. Personally I think without a skeletal malocclusion to fix with it it’s probably not worth it.
What is the absolute truth about human DNA?Is the "mainstream" claim that there is no genetic basis for race/ethnicity a lie?Do White Europeans/Jews have genetics that lead them to invent a vastly greater number of things that the modern world rests upon?
>>17067516>figuring out the scientific method first.Why are you ignoring genetic confounding and assuming that this was purely based on luck and basically asserting that it's impossible for it to have been based on absolutely anything else in the slightest?>China were the first to create a binary script (IChing)>IChingKek. East Asians have similar IQs to Europeans. Also, listing a bunch of their achievements doesn't increase their number, just like listing European achievements wouldn't increase their number.>East Africans are Black because I say so!Them not being Black wasn't really a big part of that argument. The point was that they didn't create the language. Also, comparing it to Japanese is quite obviously dishonest since they're leagues apart (in terms of development).>SpanishThe Spanish are leaps more European than East Africans are sub-Saharan. Non-sequitur.>>17068325>That is most of European politicians. Via corruption, that also includes quite a bit of academia. Nepotism and academic inbreeding are both rampant.Comparatively? Not true. https://ourworldindata.org/corruption
>>17067516>t. read Gun, Germs, and Steel one time
>>17068497>Comparatively? Not true. https://ourworldindata.org/corruptionThat article only discusses bribery which is one form for corruption. Here in my European country I see little bribery but a LOT of nepotism and positions given to people based on party membership. These positions tend to be rather well paid, but that is not traditional bribery. Much of the social democratic Europan coiuntriues are knee deep in New Public Management, so there are tons of positions to fill, and tons of money for their salaries. Competence and results are few and far between. Also the judiciary around here is now fully politicized, in particular the Supreme Court.I work in the legal industry and get to see behind the curtains, and it is not a pretty sight. The ever loyal press does not ever discuss this.
>>17068497>Why are you ignoring genetic confounding and assuming that this was purely based on luck and basically asserting that it's impossible for it to have been based on absolutely anything else in the slightest?Because if it wasn't luck why did it take Europeans thousands of years to figure out the scientific method?>East Asians have similar IQs to Europeans. And yet Europeans didn't figure out that stuff first. As a matter fact, if we're talking about similar IQ why didn't the Inuit Eskimos perform any of those feats either since their IQ is in the mid 90s?>Them not being Black wasn't really a big part of that argument. The point was that they didn't create the language. Also, comparing it to Japanese is quite obviously dishonest since they're leagues apart (in terms of development).And yet, the Japanese had no native language. So they are the same as Ethopians despite being "leagues" apart.>The Spanish are leaps more European than East Africans are sub-Saharan. Interesting how in your previous paragraph you argued Ethopians not being black wasn't part of the argument, only to then make it apart of your argument they're not black. Why continue a conversation that you say wasn't there in the first place?
>>17068655>I seeWhere's the data?>>17068836>why did it take Europeans thousands of years?Why does it take any amount of time for genetically intelligent people to become successful? Also, according to Comin, Easterly, and Gong (2010), Europeans had greater technological development than anyone else in 1000 BC.Obviously, luck is a part of it, but luck can't explain absolutely everything. Are you suggesting that if Africans (while remaining genetically the same) simply got "lucky," they would have built European civilizations?Part of the reason that Europeans and North East Asians have greater genetic intelligence and lower aggression is because of selection for those traits in their environments. Of course, a population's genotype will be related to the environment they evolved in.>EskimosThe difference in environment between the tundras of the Arctic and forests of Eurasia is obviously too large for any serious comparison. Also, population size is another issue for comparison altogether.>Japanese is as developed as EthiopicNot really sure what your argument is here. Chinese is a Sino-Tibetan language, whereas Japanese is part of the Japonic family. There's no evidence they even share a common linguistic ancestor. On the other hand, Ge'ez and Sabaean do actually share a common ancestor. In terms of scripts, the Japanese created Hiragana and Katakana.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
