@DavidCarlisle — see equation (41) — I'm very proud of this paper, it has been a long time coming (and almost 100% the hard work of my PhD student, not me):

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/apxr.202300136

Sadly, the complex maths formatting seems to have confusing the typographer a little so there are other inconsisencies throughout the paper, but it's an important example IMO :)

@egreg — I am always worried when real mathematicians look at work like this by engineers :)

@mickep duckduckgo also has problems today. They apologise with the phrase "We're currently experiencing an issue with DuckDuckGo Search. Thanks for your patience while we get our ducks in a row." :)

mickep

@samcarter Oh, indeed. And bing, probably not a coincidence.

Paulo Cereda

@samcarter ooh

@mickep oh no

@PauloCereda If you just don't want people to use your wi-fi, I'm sure there are less cruel ways :-)

Paulo Cereda

@campa ooh :)

@JosephWright I get a warning in the tagpdf repo that "Deprecation notice: v1, v2, and v3 of the artifact actions. The following artifacts were uploaded using a version of actions/upload-artifact that is scheduled for deprecation:" but I can't find a upload-artifact in the yaml, do you know where that is hidden?

@PauloCereda Yesterday, I saw an AI answer to the question "How to deal with condensation in a tent". It answered "Avoid […] breathing inside the tent.".

@samcarter One influential theory of the semantics of questions is that the meaning of a question is the set of true answers to the question. Answers like this clearly show the problem with this.

A similar non-AI example from a paper discussing this: Max gets off a plane in Helsinki and gets into a taxi. They drive around for a while, and the taxi driver seems lost, so Max asks "Do you know where you are?" and the driver replies "Helsinki" :)

@AlanMunn not wrong :)

Alan Munn

@samcarter Exactly!
