I think we can stop at 8.


7, if the Extremely Strong Goldbach Conjecture holds. [1]

[1] https://xkcd.com/1310/


The hierarchy doesn't seem to work. The extremely weak conjecture is the Archimedean property, but I don't see how you prove it from "every number above 7 is the sum of two other numbers". That can be true even if there are only five numbers above 7.

Or in the other direction, if numbers stop at 3, that certainly won't falsify "every number above 7 is the sum of two other numbers". It will prove that it's true. And the extremely strong conjecture immediately proves that the extremely weak one is false.


The extremes are probably chosen only for their humor value, not for mathematical rigor.


They already got promoted and might not be managing the same team, plus it sells the lie better, and most people wouldn’t go along with this forever and might start claiming things so they have to discredit you first.


I believe it’s an internal code name that stuck.


To expand, it comes from the stealth name it was given on LMArena I believe. The model made news while still in "stealth mode" and so Google capitalised on the PR they'd already built around that and just launched it officially with the same name.


I see, naturally this is the first I've heard of it ;)


vim +'exec "norm 99o"|%s/$/\=line(".")/|vert new|exec "norm i\r\rFizz\r\rBuzz\rFizz\r\r\rFizz\rBuzz\r\rFizz\r\r\rFizzBuzz"|exec "norm gg\<c-v>G$y"|bd!|let @q="10a \<esc>\"0gpj"|exec "norm gg10@q"|silent /100/+,$d|silent %s/\d\+\s\+\(\w\+\)/\1'

Now I see it's the same solution as in the post.

Edit: Actually all you need is vim -es +'exec "norm! i\r\rFizz\r\rBuzz\rFizz\r\r\rFizz\rBuzz\r\rFizz\r\r\rFizzBuzz\<esc>Vggy7P101GdG"|%s/^$/\=line(".")/|%p|q!'


Neither humans nor LLMs are currently equipped with separate sarcasm-awareness modes so telling someone to engage theirs can only be…ohh


that's so beyond obviously a sarcastic remark. In that regard I'd consider a vast majority of the humans totally capable of detecting dead pan sarcasm both in spoken and written speech.


Isn’t there a well known internet adage that speaks to this?

Do you remember what it is?


Cunningham's law


What? No it's not, it's ...

Hang on a sec... you sly devil, you!

Not falling for that one. Hmmmpphhh.


Cunningham himself even claims it was a misquote, and that he never suggested such a thing.


“Shouting incorrect directions in Ironforge” predates Cunningham by several years in any case.


Did you run the code samples?


You mean, “I think there was article on English stackexchange where linguists proved word “the” is useless word. It’s filler word like umm, etc.”


https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45859402

It got flagged, but this is happening and isn’t being talked about because it isn’t happening to people who have influence.


This submission is flagged too. Who is flagging these, and why?


It's very clearly against the guidelines, that's why

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.


I think there comes a point where the situation is so serious normal guidelines, intended for normal times, no longer apply.


It's still off-topic here at hn. The community is very international, similar things happen in dozens of other countries too. The front page would be full of politics, if those kind of articles wouldn't be flagged.

There are a lot of other platforms, that are open for any topic, including politics. Reddit is probably the most similar one to hn.


USA is not like other countries.

It is the most powerful country in the world, the strongest military power in the world by far, a global nuclear power, and the basis of European military security and peace - at a time of Russian military expansionism.

This is not the same as Haiti having problems.


There’s plenty of other forums and social media where such discussions happen. Hacker News does not want to be that place


Can you explain? I haven’t been watching TV news, but I haven’t seen this being broadly covered elsewhere.

You’re saying this is trivial and uninteresting? Or just everything relating to the US government is “politics” and we can’t talk about it? Because I think the guideline is meant to be about the former.


I would certainly call secret police running rampant in a US city an 'interesting new phenomenon'.


Others would say this is exactly what they voted for. Unfortunately it's all about perspective, and after a decade of passively consuming hn, it's obvious where the sites interest lies in terms of moderating content.


Let them say it.


I get the feeling that maybe Mao wasn’t always such a good guy.


Getting downvotes for this, but genuinely laughing over here


I bet you could use LLMs to turn stupid comments about LLMs into insightful comments that people want to read. I wonder if there’s a startup working on that?
