Slashdot reader joshuark writes: Scientific American reports that a ChatGPT AI has proved a conjecture with a method no human had developed. A 23-year-old student Liam Price just cracked a 60-year-old problem that world-class mathematicians have tried and failed to solve. The new solution that Price got in response to a single prompt to GPT-5.4 Pro was posted on www.erdosproblems.com, a website devoted to the Erds problems. The question Price solved — or prompted ChatGPT to solve—concerns special sets of wh

"Running a Big Tech company during Silicon Valley's AI mania may not necessarily require fewer workers or cost less," writes the Washington Post: Amazon, Google and Meta together have roughly the same number of employees now as they did during an industry-wide hiring binge in 2022, company disclosures show. Growing costs for technical workers and related expenses have often outpaced sales recently. The tech giants' big AI bet hasn't yet... Read more ›

В комментариях к статье "Теорема Пифагора: великий обман школьной программы. Как абстракция убила смысл" прозвучало много претензий к современной системе общего школьного образования. Судя по общему тону высказываний, мало кто понимает, зачем и каким образом функционирует данная система (особенно в историческом контексте), какие задачи решает и каким целям служит. Не углубляясь в серьезно в глубину данного вопроса (который достоин целого исследования), позволю себе некоторые замечания по существу темы. Не Read more ›

Возможно, на мой предвзятый взгляд, нынче автоматным программированием (АП) называют любое программирование, в которое вводят состояния (а параллельным – где используют потоки). Но не все, что с колесами – машина, а с крыльями – самолет. И далеко не всегда то, что «выглядит» как автомат, «плавает» как автомат и «крякает» как автомат им является. Это ясно, если руководствоваться математическим определением конечного автомата (КА). Только соответствие этому позволяет считать программирование автоматным. Подр Read more ›

There's a glass roof — but no rear-view window. Instead the Polestar 4 replaces the rear-view mirror with a live feed from a wide-angle camera. Its high-resolution display (1480 x 320 pixels) promises "a panoramic view of the outside," according to Polestar's web site, showing more of what's behind you. "Visibility in the dark and in rainy conditions is also vastly improved." Besides the camera feed (and side mirrors), the... Read more ›

The AI industry is largely failing to ask a key design question, argues theoretical neuroscientist/cognitive scientist Vivienne Ming. Are their AI products building human capacity or consuming it?

An anonymous reader shared this report from the Associated Press: The 1986 Chernobyl disaster fueled global fears about nuclear power and slowed its development in Europe and elsewhere.

In March, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced that the moon-orbiting "Lunar Gateway" space station was being "paused" to focus instead of missions to the moon's surface.
