a bigshot professor at berkeley once tried to dunk on ML by saying that it basically only relied on 18th century math; imo this is a much bigger dunk on math

mathematicians mostly don't work on anything remotely useful and they rely on nobody else understanding what they do to keep this up; schools tolerate this b/c prestige + somebody needs to teach and TA calculus twitter.com/mykola/status/…

the standard counterargument "but you never know what might be useful in 50 years!" ignores opportunity costs. we're allowing some of the smartest people around to nerdsnipe themselves and each other into spending all their time on beautiful useless shit

the other standard counterargument "but muh beauty of math!" - look. we are already drowning in beautiful math. we have a disgustingly beautiful hoard of it already, more than we could ever need. i'm talking full RPG inventory of megalixirs and all that other shit you never use

actually it's more like an RPG with a crafting system where you can craft really powerful weapons and armor that you don't yet have the stats to equip, and instead of leveling or figuring out what you really need to craft you just keep crafting more and more powerful stuff

If we ever form wholistic theories of ML the will almost certainly invoice a lot of information geometry, largely developed in the past 3 decades.

The Next Generation operator for finding R0 values for mathematical epidemiology was developed in the 90s.
Wavelet analysis took off in the last few decades too, with the work of Ingrid Daubches.

It’s not Marx or Lenin’s fault that linear programming was hardly developed and some big fixed point theorems were unknown when they wrote.
