I would guess it's because of the structure of math research versus cancer research. With math, an AI can plug into Lean and get a result. With medical research, the AI would need an actual lab to do experiments. Ai is just well suited to do math due to the structure of math proofs.

Always surprising just how dumb Matt Yglesias is. Or maybe, maybe it's just surprising that anybody still listens to him.
A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"
Excellent video and something I've been thinking about a lot recently. We've built so many nice things, we have so many nice commodities and luxury, but we're missing the "humanness" of it. Especially in our cities, you really feel it missing in downtown Minneapolis. youtu.be/rX0RuKswLAo?...

$625,000 is such a hilariously small number. It's exactly how you'd expect we'd let a great public service die. To put that amount in perspective, it's only twice what we spend to make sure Lisa Goodman has a job at city hall in recognition for her years of service as best friend to the mayor.
Hourcar service has been around for 21 years, but the nonprofit said it could not close a $625,000 funding gap.

They started texting with a 16-year-old. After two years, they offered to sell him a gun. They consider that "stopping a terrorist attack." And they are calling it heroic. What an absolute embarrassment.
I'm grateful for the heroic work of law enforcement that prevented a mass shooting and terrorist attack at the Mall of America. This shows why we continue to need major coordinated investments in anti-terrorism and local law enforcement to stop attacks like these.

One thing I don't think people are talking about is that her excuse is almost worse than admitting what she did. She is saying "I played being pervy to fit in with the cops", which I think is worse than just saying "yeah I'm a little pervy."
Curious especially to hear from the women & enbies On Here: are you included to give Mayor Her a big pass on being pervy because we live in a still-rampantly unequal society? www.startribune.com/full-kaohly-... (Gift link)

If anything the mayor who should resign is St Paul's. Frey isn't good and I don't like him, but it's regular old bad at your job not good, not did something so bad he should be forced out. St Paul's mayor on the other hand, probably (w/o me knowing all the details) crossed the resign threshold.
I really appreciate everyone’s passion over city politics, but Frey being removed or resigning over disagreement regarding the management of MPD is a theory that simply is not grounded in reality. (This is, for some reason, a theory that I have seen floating around.)

MPD still can’t answer questions about where all the money went. And now, Frey is directing them not to testify before the Council. What are they covering up? What don’t they want the public to know?
one week ago today, brian o’hara was in front of the minneapolis city council, unable to explain to aisha chughtai why the police department was $20 million over budget this year as she went through line item by line item. and now he’s resigned as the police chief
To quote Latrisha Vetaw, "Say Their Names!"
The Minneapolis Police Department's horseback police unit, the last in Minnesota, quietly disbanded after the department's barn lease expired last month. The mounted patrol unit's end follows years of attempted budget cuts by the City Council as some members questioned the expense.

Conversely you have never had more access to content depicting crime. You have never felt less safe while living in a year that is in competition for the safest in human history.
Minnesota's murder and violent crime rates fell sharply in 2025, with the state recording its fewest murders and lowest violent crime rate since before the pandemic, according to a new report from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Experts from academia and civil society regularly work for govt agencies for short periods to help them succeed. But Trump2 went further, installing partisan operatives to conduct projects to venerate the president. They're undermining the legitimacy of the agencies. www.wired.com/story/a-trum...
