Noeter theorem and energy get complicated in General Relativity, because there is no global time translation symmetry

https://curtjaimungal.substack.com/p/what-is-energy-actually

Ignoring that, saying "energy must exist because of Noether and time-translation" doesn't really tell what energy actually is, not a very satisfactory response

unless you signed a contract with your readers, saying "this article was not LLM written" while being written by LLMs is not fraud, just lying which is legal

but we are not even talking about that, most authors do not claim LLMs were not used

bullshitting has never been a crime

if it were, 90% of startups would be illegal and they founders jailable

and then some articles will have maybe a small section, 10% of it, LLM generated. And the it really is a superposition of LLM/human written, and flaggable/unflaggable

not the greatest benchmark, bzip2 many times beats xz, gzip is competitive with zstd

maybe it used default compression levels, and the defaults are not "matched"

here you go, Michelin-starred chef:

> Marco Pierre White passionately defends chefs using microwaves. White dubbed microwaves “sensational things” and revealed he thinks they’re far better at preparing kippers than any other technique, like boiling or grilling

https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/marco-pierre-white-...

And another one:

> José Andrés, a renowned Michelin-starred chef, New York Times bestselling author and internationally recognized humanitarian. He listed the microwave omelet as his number one foolproof dish and called it the “best fluffy omelet in the history of mankind!”

3 centiseconds instead of 30 miliseconds, totally not a robot

sure, I was just talking about this Hollywood myth that the military is far ahead of everyone else, including in computing matters when we all know the military procurement birrocracy

do you think quantum computers would help simulating this? I've seen contradictory opinions from the experts - it can in theory but not really in practice (even assuming sufficiently large quantum computers will be built)

yet there are problems there too we do not know the "true axioms of math", people disagree (math foundations)

biology is full of exceptions to exceptions to exceptions. like immunology

so there is no way to extrapolate/interpolate, anything which was not directly measured is basically unknown since it could be yet another exception

or in programming language, the worse spaghetti code you could imagine, full of feature flags randomly enabled inconsistently
