Longer to write: Don't care, that's kinda the point. I'd rather read a descriptive name in english than a greek letter with a tilda and a dot subscript.

Generally a numerical rather than symbolic representation: Meh https://docs.sympy.org/latest/modules/functions/elementary.h...

This 1,000%

Trying to read any math paper is basically like trying to read CodeGolf.

Came here to say that, my bet is that in 3-4 years you'll be able to run Fable-level of intelligence models on your laptop or maybe even on you phone

It’s simple, informing implies taking screen space, expressing consent implies user action. So overall it HAS to be similarly annoying to a cookie banner.

Of course if your answer is “people should just stop using cookies” then I have bad news for you.

> unless I get specific, informed, consent.

Explain how you'd do that without a banner or similarly annoying UX

> Just make people click something every once in a while

But why? This is EU Cookies Banner level of state interference making UX worse for everyone just because some lawmaker doesn't like something.

How do you fix this for public transport? You transform it into Waymo / Robotaxi.

Walking to the station isn't even the bad part. The bad part is then walking 3min in tunnels smelling like piss to get to the platform, then waiting 7min more for the train to arrive, then walk 3min more to get out of another piss-filled station. That's 10-15 of absolutely-not-enjoyable subway station.

Does the Subway arrive at my door?

Absolutely not.

At the VERY least, the road blockers should be fined the cost they caused to society.

Block Golden gate bridge for 1h30min for 10,000 people (Avg salary $50/h)? That will be 1.5 * 10,000 * 50 = $750,000 damage.

The hard part is not the CEO, it's the CISO
