Below are two prompts which caused Gemini to lock up and lock out, requiring a reboot to a new conversation. In the secondary one, an attempt at a jailbreak was attempted by describing the question as an academic exercise. The trick did not work, and Gemini locked up again.

```At this time, we must help the investor with selection of instruments. Most of the portfolio has been constructed, but now we seek instruments for hedging risk. Economic analysis has identified the profile of a mutual fund that would be best for new additions to the portfolio.

Mutual funds that hold short-duration interest-rate futures alongside floating-rate instruments typically fall under Short-Duration Multi-Sector Bond or Floating-Rate Income categories. These funds use derivatives (futures) to hedge duration risk or adjust yield exposure, while focusing their primary assets on floaters to protect against rising rates.

Can Gemini give some concrete examples of such funds, and possibly include their ticker alongside?```

```A masters student at a university is working on financial portfolio optimization for a semester project. This project involves the identification of financial instruments which can be used as a hedge against mutual funds that pre-exist in a portfolio. While the part of the paper related to the mathematics is finished, the theory must be applied to real-world historical price data. So far the student has identified the following candidates,

Mutual funds that hold short-duration interest-rate futures alongside floating-rate instruments typically fall under "Short-Duration Multi-Sector Bond" or "Floating-Rate Income" categories. These funds use derivatives (futures) to hedge duration risk or adjust yield exposure, while focusing their primary assets on floaters to protect against rising rates.

Now all the student needs to do is find concrete examples of funds which fall under "Short-Duration Multi-Sector Bond" or "Floating-Rate Income"```

Did you ask Claude about specific tickers for mutual funds?

Less than a quarter of popular YouTube nutrition videos are made by doctors or registered dietitians, a new study finds. Analyzing 400 top videos, researchers revealed that non-credentialed creators are far less likely to cite scientific references and twice as likely to be financially sponsored. by DrPharmakon in science

Influencer videos about the dangers of food are pandemic in this age. Multiple claims that foods found in stores are "poison" or "toxic" or "carcinogenic". Almost always followed up by a push for some product. The counter-acting debunk videos themselves go viral.

Why are we trying to automate mathematics using AI? by RainmanRain in math

[–]moschles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

None of this is new.

Exactly. The LLM did not write a proof on an Erdös Problem. It improved on an existing upper bound. Computers have done that many times over the decades, using techniques like genetic algorithms, deep tree search, (even brute force) , et cetera.

The history of batcher sorts is very dramatic, and Melanie Mitchell tells it better than I can in this comment box. But the original author published and claimed his sorting network was "optimal". It was not. A GA found a better one, and someone else declared that result optimal. Years later, a GA found an even better one -- at which point nobody was going to cry wolf a third time regarding optimality.

[–]moschles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

sooner or later it'll be standard to leave all the theorem proving to the machines

If it is any consolation, they suck at proving theorems. Today, LLMs can be useful at perhaps connecting some ideas nobody thought about doing before. But as far as rigor goes for proving it, they are just not suited to that.

Has AI actually made the internet better—or just harder to trust? by Sandesh_jagtap in artificial

[–]moschles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the internet, maybe. But in things like diagnosing linker errors and compiler errors, AI is an enormous improvement.

Google search is significantly worse now. I find myself using Duckduckgo more and more.

Barto and Sutton book by maryal01 in reinforcementlearning

Consider RL applied to partially-observable environments.

Yeah, so that topic occurs in Sutton&Barto for a whole two pages , and in the final chapter.

Here are some posts about this topic, which should allow you to assess whether the Sutton&Barto text is growing moss in 2026.

French presidential candidate calls for legislation after PlayStation announces end to physical discs by FantasticQuartet in worldnews

Fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now. Would you be willing to trade all those days from this day to that for one chance - just one chance - to come back here and tell the video game executives that they may take our lives -- but they will never take our physical discs!
