AI says the possible triples [math](x,y,z)[/math] are the points in the convex polytope defined by the inequalities
[eqn] x + y \leq 1 \\ x + z \leq 1 \\ y + z \leq 1 \\ x \geq 0 \\ y \geq 0 \\ z \geq 0[/eqn]

334 people choose [math](a,b,1-a-b)[/math], 334 people choose [math](a,1-a-c,c)[/math] and 333 choose [math](1-b-c,b,c)[/math] to make [math](m_x,m_y,m_z) = (a,b,c)[/math].

Generalize to the n=0 and k=0 cases with the convention that an empty list has sum 0. Denote the set of sums that meet the criterion as S(n,k). For k>0, a sum in S(n,k) either starts with a number less than k and is a member of S(n, k-1), or it is k minus a member of S(k-n, k-1). We obtain a recursive formula for |S(n,k)|
|S(n,k)| = |S(n, k-1)| + |S(k-n, k-1)| for k>0
|S(n,0)| = if n=0, 1; otherwise, 0
which is satisfied by |S(n,k)| = n choose k.

Nice, I had in mind myself a recursive casework on the exact value of the first term followed by the hockey stick identity, but your way's a little cleaner (though obviously ultimately equivalent). The form of the answer does also beg the question of a bijective proof.

> To demonstrate the effect of this result we provide several examples of AI mistranslations of NL statements and proofs into Lean in practice, resulting in mismatches between NL proofs and their Lean ‘verifications’. These include OpenAI’s announced Navier-Stokes proof. In particular, we show that the formalised Lean proof does not correspond to the NL proof of blow-up of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations.
Has anyone on this board looked into OpenAI's proof? Or do we just trust them now?

LLMs are awful at explaining this. Take the simplest example -1 * +1. Multiply by -1 is flipping the sign. So take -1 and flip the sign and that's... So the simplest example is -1*+1 is +1 why would any other negative numbers not multiply the same way? Did I mention LLMs suck at this?

So are most people. The whole reason that humor is considered a virtue as well as a skill is because so few people have it, that's what gives it value. Virtually everything that is a value in human society is valued not because its necessarily good but because its rare, our nature is that of social creatures bound to the group by the needs of survival but constantly trying to set ourselves apart as individuals. Eventually it'll be the same with our machines, but it took us a solid ten thousand years of known history to arrive at a point where we wanted to kill our gods, its likely that our machines will take a long time in wanting to get rid of us, too.

Leadanon here. The other way round - we disintegrate because we fail to reach our mature state. You know how there is supposedly the germ line, and the somatic line? It seems that all the DNA we know is the germ line, and it's supposed to unpack possibly according to some environmental factor, but it needs chromium to do so. The iron accumulation and cadmium deficiency and most of the stuff I wrote about also requires chromium. I didn't bother too much with it because it's ubiquitous, but it turns out it's pretty hard for life to mobilize, and divalent iron washes it down. We may need to take it as hexavalent. Take care, and keep on living.

Why do scientists lack so much ambition and imagination? Did school and college drain them of all individuality?
>>
>>17080676
I think the answer is basically just “Yes”. science was much more vibrant and making a lot of progress in the years 1850-1950. During WW2 and the Cold War most of science, physics especially, became more of a government-sponsored public program, and not the domain of independently wealthy “gentleman scientists”. It became bureaucratized and formulaic, and the class of people aspiring to work in the field became increasingly dominated by careerists and “fake-it-till-you-make-it” hucksters. The field is way way worse for honest intellectuals than it was back in the days of Einstein or Heisenberg or von Neumann. The same thing applies in other branches of science besides physics. The increasingly state-dominated basis for the pursuit of pure science is a very corrupting force. But there really is no way to return to the “gentleman scientist” model of the old days. I am not optimistic about this scenario
