no, the OP says it in a different sense, namely that even if you are duly impressed by these advancements, they will stop in a few years and a new line of research will be needed

Yeah, that's the issue, the autospotter is not perfect. Maybe someone from HN could enlighten us.

The new physics is not in the 4.7 but that in that the model's third and fourth variables seem to be new, compared to the known models.

This quote came to mind when seeing the title but I could not remember the source (read it in high-school, I think before learning formally about derivatives). I'm glad someone found it.

That collection of posts/comments is highly misleading.

Yeah 22 years ago as a young kid I was obsessed with reading the SOFTWARE catalog of my local computer store (the hardware stuff was all video cards that all looked like each other, the software was exciting stuff like space simulators! 3D graphics! video editing!).
And this was after the days of

Re:Why write about anything when there's smarter people than you?
on Sunday July 03, 2022 @10:56AM (#31968171)
Because until we get mind uploading, there aren't enough smart people to cover everything (e.g. even though Tao knows way more math than the average mathematician, I have solved interesting math problems that are simply not in his or in any other genius's immediate interests).
Re:The Sordid Past of the Cubic Formula

Yeah, it's a very strong result.
On the other hand, for a say fourth degree equation, it just says that some solution expressible in terms of higher roots exists, but not how to find it. To find the expression, one needs to study the "generic" equation.

What are some good alternatives to Duolingo with fewer dark patterns? (And don't suggest traditional methods, I am very much not against them, I am just curious about apps and such.)

I have a friend who is a professor with a PhD in complex analysis. Multivariable complex analysis (along with the theories of complex manifolds and analytic spaces) is very far from over.
Heck, one of the Millennium Problems (the Hodge conjecture) is in complex geometry (granted, in the more algebraically flavoured part of it).
