I expected and wanted tree data structures.

Then you want Foundations of Multidimensional and Metric Data Structures by Samet. Unless you already have it, then enjoy some pretty (organic) trees.

My new bottom-of-the-line phone does not have a headphone jack. Did not realize that when I got it and now I'm bummed.


I was pulled over for having a non-obstructive frame on my license plate. The officer said they interfere with the red light cameras. He then presented me with a screwdriver and gave me the option of getting a ticket or taking it off. I took the screwdriver and he watched me take it off. I lost a freedom due to a shitty ml model.


Time to paint your rear-end chrome.


Just put it back on? In my state, that would not be a stoppable offense anyway if we had red light cameras (too easy to abuse).


Well if this abuse is common the fines should rise. How would you enforce it otherwise?


In my honest opinion, GIMP is a horrific piece of software.


So if you write your own operating system without age verification you're not allowed to use it?


Build an army of robots to help you get started with robotics (as a hobbyist).


Interesting questions. I think I'll attempt #7.


Tried all ten with claude, then had codex take a loook at the work -- codex thinks number 7 has the lowest chance of being correct, a 1 out of 10 rating. None of them were higher than 7/10 chance of being right so far as done by claude opus 4.6 and evaluated by codex 5.3 highest.

Not going to spend too many more tokens on this.


I don't think either of these are the best choices for this. Chatgpt 5.2 pro and gemini 3 pro deep thinking I believe are the strongest LLMs at "pure thought", i.e. things like mathematical reasoning.


Any chance you're willing to share the links/outputs?


It was more to provide a hopefully new perspective on some existing problems in number theory.


Then nice try I guess, but there is nothing remotely new about any of this. You're not going to find a new perspective on something in math using a completely routine application of a well-known theorem. You'll need to either work really hard or come up with a genuinely new idea, and probably both.


I disagree. Math is all about applying well-known theorems to existing problems.


I just found it interesting that certain problems in number theory could be rephrased as problems about cyclic groups. Maybe it could potentially make some easier to solve.


This is the kind of stuff I come here for.
