I think there's some nuance needed there.

There's no nuance here. The only nuance is if you want to say one is worth than the other, but you don't need nuance for that (Trump is clearly worse).

When it comes to insider trading sort of things, both of them are shit, along with a whole lot of other politicians, and I say that as a San Francisco voter. If insider trading were the worse that Trump had ever done, I would have a much higher opinion of him.

. for example a famous gene like TP53 (which causes cancer when fucked) has tens of thousands of publications made about it (though ironically there's likely still stuff it does that we don't know).

That's not really glamor, curing cancer is an important practical problem. It's a good thing that money and attention are directed towards that.

Comment Not an LLM (Score 5, Informative) 144

AI math proofs have been a thing for nearly half a century. There has been a LOT of work on it.

The work openAI is doing isn't just saying, "ChatGPT, solve this problem." They have combined their LLM (probably a custom LLM, with a math focus) with existing algorithms, and expert mathematicians working the prompt.

So this appears to be an incremental advance, but it's not that an LLM automatically understands math and can start proving things.

It would be interesting to know what the numbers look like in terms of schools that are actually doing something at least modestly Apple-specific vs. ones basically reusing chromebook-focused plans on Apple hardware.

Anything you hand out is going to be 'a platform' and normalize it for the students(not necessarily a point in its favor; people tend to resent the deliberate limitations of hardware that IT has been told to at least try to make less useful for porn and cheating); but there is a potential difference in versatility and vendor flexibility between people actually adopting some macOS stuff and people concluding that chromebooks have been getting more expensive at an alarming clip, without feeling any less cheap, so Apple is now genuinely competitive even if you are just going to slap managed chrome on there and reuse your existing, chromebook focused, IT and curriculum stuff.
