@Thooorin There is an idea from the history of Go that there was a certain game where one of the players made moves so insane that the lore is that they were given to him by ghosts. "The ghost moves" Ana's performance on Ember in game 5 was like that.

@hamiltonnolan @mattyglesias "holding hostages" is really the rhetoric that we want here? It's a bit tasteless with Palestinians still holding 100+ Israelis and other nationals hostage in Gaza, while there is a war going on after 1000+ Israelis were killed by Palestinians on oct 7th

Terence Tao is using ChatGPT to learn Lean.. Lean is a ridiculously complex proof lDE, and mathcels have preferred to leave it to a small core of proofers to code it rather than prove directly in it. If TT goes over, some chance we finally start to see a unified math corpus

I don't know who is looking for a "beginner chapter of talmud to study", but through Daf Yomi I think that the 13th and final chapter of Ketubot is a very good one. - extreme straightforward Gemara - Mishna says 'we will discuss these 9 things' - Gemara discusses those 9 things
