>Quasi-Riemann hypothesis:
Excludes zeta and Dirichlet L-function zeros beyond 7/8. Major progress, although it does not prove full RH.

>Hodge conjecture for CM abelian varieties:
A major special case, with claimed consequences including Tate for abelian varieties over finite fields.

>Hilbert’s tenth problem over \mathbb Q:
Settles whether an algorithm can decide if arbitrary polynomial equations have rational solutions.

>Unique Games Conjecture:
Resolves a central question about how accurately hard optimization problems can be approximated.

>Nonsofic groups and Kaplansky counterexamples:
Produces groups contradicting several foundational expectations in algebra.

>Free group factor isomorphism problem:
Claims these fundamental operator algebras are all isomorphic.

>Both Mahler conjectures:
Settles central convex-geometry questions in every dimension.

Well, actually, it can’t really be used for calculations, with a few exceptions. And you have to measure the result thousands of times before it can be considered statistically reliable. Basically, you just misunderstood what we’ve been promising for the past 30 years because you’re not qualified enough to understand it.
By the way thanks for the hundred billion dollars in taxpayer money and the lifelong career opportunity. Nothing personal, kid!

Does school stifle creativity and make you stupider?
4 replies omitted. Click here to view.
>>
Yes if you just follow the system and get into some PhD and do research there it will just be forced to do exactly what your supervisor always did with 1 extra new step

To be creative and innovative with science and research you often have to tank a lot of hard times rebelling against the normal path

If you don’t make it through you’ll be remembered as a retard schizo if you make it through it you’ll be remembered as a creative genius
>>
No not really. I realized this cause being smart, creative, and knowledgeable are all completely different things.
If you're lazy you won't be creative. I'm very lazy and so I actually spend most of my life procrastinating. I've accepted it because I don't really care.
If you're stupid you can still be knowledgeable but it will take more time and energy.
Everyone is born ignorant so that's something we all have in common from birth. But not all of us are smart or creative that's completely genetic or psychological.
So for the psychological part does school stifle creativity and cause stupidity? No because it will only stifle you're creativity by eating your time if you're stupid but creative. But that required you're already stupid.
More likely to be injurious is to be poor, but even broke 3rd worlders have smart phones so to be honest there is not much excuse if you're not doing something. The fact is you're either fucking stupid or lazy.
Though is it completely non-injurious? No. Frankly it should probably stop after basic reading, writing, and math. Let's just say 8th grade. Anything after that is frankly dangerous.
But it's not dangerous cause it makes you retarded compared to other people, it's makes you retarded because it regresses you to the mean. Therefore to be normal and common is the real measure of retardation and lack of creativity. It's a NULL value.

Why. Even if A.I. can solve all the posed math problems you still need mathematicians to decide where and why to allocate more of the resources and verify the output.

Let the AI do it.
>verify the output
People will do that for the first few hundred theorems. Eventually they'll stop bothering because there's no point; the AI will effectively never make mistakes at that point, and even if they do the proof will be too complicated to find errors anyway.

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.

You 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.

So recently these past few weeks I've been diving down the NDE rabbithole, reading numerous books and research articles. I haven't met or interviewed any NDErs myself but I'd love to so, and do some research on my own on this stuff.

But here's the thing. I went to 2 of my professors about it. At first they were cordial and polite and professional and nice and helpful and accommodating and all of those good things. But as the discussions went deeper and I shared that I think these experiences provide good evidence for the soul, for the brain and consciousness not being the same thing etc...

Jeebuz H. Fucking Christ.

It was uncanny how they both got really defensive and angry. "Nobody takes this seriously!", "There's no evidence for this! Have I read it? No but there isn't or I'd already heard about it.", "You will waste your career on nothing", etc.

What the actual hell? Shouldn't scientists be wayyyyyy more open-minded and curious? Online too I see a lot of sciency folk talk shit about it without even knowing much about it. Dismissing it seems more important than learning about it to them. What are these people so fucking afraid of???? Has anyone else noticed this weird reaction to NDEs among academics?

/g/amer here. Yes desu, when a critical part is removed the computer still keeps thinking until it has to access said critical function at which point it crashes. Often times this leads to a breakdown of visual image processing which leads to a default error message (usually a blue screen). Take the ram out of your computer and it will likely spasm graphically before death. Often you can plug it back in after a crash and the PC will post, then repair itself. Don't really care about NDE but wanted to share.

>believing that religions *should* be at the absolute exclusion of others
An didn't say anything about *should* he just pointed out that they are, judaism waiting for the messiah to come does absolutely exclude christianity claiming that jesus was the messiah and already came and many other factors lead religions to be at odds with each other. So if hallucinations are not "bad" are you conceding that NDEs are just hallucinations?
