Fields Medal

Before you, I was listening to a lecture last night on what it can do in physics, which is absolutely amazing now what LLMs can do with physics research and math right now.

The whole Fields Medal for Open AI notion.

Yeah, that stuff.

Yeah, to Mark's point, there isn't that much data and it's not sure how there can be.

Books like Luanne Bresendien's The Female Brain reinforced these claims, presenting hormone differences as destiny and suggesting that combining career and motherhood was a neurological impossibility.

Simon Baron-Cohen's extreme male brain hypothesis followed the same logic, arguing that prenatal testosterone structures male brains for systemizing and female brains for empathizing, a framework he used to ask why no women had won the Fields Medals for maths.

Three have since then.

Mythology.

These are considered the most prestigious awards in mathematics and computer science.

Before Yu Dang won a Fields Medal for his pioneering work balancing randomness and order, he had to achieve equilibrium in his own life.

That's next.

What if your discovery of a natural gene editing mechanism launched a revolution?

Like the Teng poet packing layers of meaning into a handful of couplets, Teng says you summarize and compress a whole big system in terms of a single equation.

He says the solutions to these equations have a very rich natural structure full of hidden symmetries and amazing coincidences with so many interpretations.

Deng, who turned 37 in June, has now been awarded the Fields Medal, math's highest honor, for pushing the study of these equations and the physical systems they model past what anyone thought possible.

He and his colleagues have proved major theorems, some in papers more than 100 pages long, on how randomness moves through systems and on how larger scale behaviors emerge from those interactions over time.

They don't win the Nobel Prize.

They don't win the Field Prize.

They don't win the Wolf Prize.

They don't produce literature.
