Yeah, I somehow missed looking at the username.
This is the second comment that mentions an iPhone - what's the catch?

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
Re:Ask HN: Why are there so many duplicate articles? on Friday August 05, 2022 @10:31AM (#32356614)
Yeah, that's the issue, the autospotter is not perfect. Maybe someone from HN could enlighten us.
Re:Roboticists discover alternative physics on Wednesday August 03, 2022 @09:00AM (#32331111)
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.
Re:Ask HN: Higher order derivatives in everyday life? on Thursday July 28, 2022 @01:07AM (#32260681)
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.

Better just to search for the subject on reddit.

I would never even consider buying an Apple product due to the price.

They also did that with Scholze in 2018.

Don't we all have tons of pictures of ourselves online already?
Re:The problem with free (2019) on Monday July 04, 2022 @06:04AM (#31975382)
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

were quite over.

Wow! I never thought there were records of that.
One option is to go into academia, they don't care about private sector experience.
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 on Sunday July 03, 2022 @10:04AM (#31967772)
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.

Re:It's quite hard to lose a Duolingo streak on Sunday July 03, 2022 @08:16AM (#31967131)
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.)
Isn't this just private pension?

What if you hate the noise though?
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).
