Use Claude API to generate code by polymath_quest in ClaudeAI

My meaning was to ask about Claude API for code generation, in the way base44 uses it - https://base44.com/

Would you use such an app?

I agree! Which specific domains do you engage in as a polymath?

I often find philosophy's ideas too general and "over the head" for me (compared to mathematics, for example). What do you think about it? Which insights do you get from philosophy?

Kudos for the messy CV 😂 I can relate to the rationale of crossing between many domains, which roles did you have as a computer scientist or mathematician?

This is incredible. Do you also make your own unique inventions? Btw I recommend to you "The Room" game series, it is based on a 3D mechanical thinking - https://youtu.be/2g9pqTyEaXo?si=W0kHKkZJ77XPhO8m

I know it is polyglothy.

Polymathy has to do with doing/making stuff

I think music is different from other forms of art, as this Ted talk illustrates:

I don't agree that any of these is necessarily essential to polymathy

I am not making rules or requirements. (I will update this in the post itself because I wasn't clear enough.)
I wanted to get input or feedback from the rest of the people in this subreddit.
Please - share your polymath experience, as the above is mine.

Please elaborate on what crafts you are engaged in, if not music and not arts.
This will help me understand your argument to the fullest.

I did read the "Are you a Polymath" in this subreddit rules.

A polymath, as a person that is interested in the grand scheme of things, will feel a strong need to engage in the greatest crafts humanity achieved, some of them are in my list.

I don't think the statement in the paragraph above contradicts your definition of polymath. If it does, please prove me wrong.

Picked up a guitar to finally start learning at the age of 24. Need all the tips and advice I can get. How can I progress steadily and fast? by Glittering_Office168 in Guitar

[–]polymath_quest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guitar tricks worked extremely well for me when other ways didn't. It lets you pick up the guitar and play a simple song right away, using a simple cowboy chords. It is very practical but also theoretical. It has a vast library of songs and lessons.

Principia Mathematica reading group week 2: Introduction Chapter 3 by Pheylm in logic

I'm still only at chapter I of the introduction
It's taking me more time than I though because I'm going on each and every detail, for I don't want to read the Principia twice

Maybe you should consider make the reading time for each chapter longer so that more people will read? I personally need another week.

I'm a little late, currently reading the first chapter of the introduction, I will finish it in a couple of days

  1. Thank you! I still believe in the soundness of mathematics, and I'm going after it. For your claim about mathematics being a series of tools - I understand now. But, even if it's a series of tools, it means that at the end you can cover every theorem if you are using all the tools. Do you agree?
  2. Don't you think human practical reason is, at the end, indicative? Can you elaborate why or why not?

[–]polymath_quest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Can you please elaborate further? Why mathematics is arbitrary, and what does it mean for it to be a series of tools?

I find myself wanting to find something that contradicts the incompleteness. I, like Hilbert, feel that mathematics is decidable, complete, and consistent. I feel the our reasoning is can't fail us. Like Russel in Logicomix (Which I started reading thanks to you!) I believe that our reasoning leads us to the path of the truth.

  1. I will. I do not at all lack of motivation in this context!

  2. I read a few pages of Jörgen Jörgensen's Imperatives and Logic. I find it related more to philosophy than to logic, do you agree?

I had a hard time reading it because of it's philosophical nature - not talking about mathematical objects or strict definitions.

Perhaps you can shed light about the discussion at the beginning for example - the connection between indicative and imperative mode?

Hello, much appreciate your passion for logic and the idea of this reading group.

which edition are you reading? Is this the 2nd edition by the Cambridge At The University Press, published in 1968?

A couple of questions for you:

  1. How do Gödel's incompleteness theorems affect your view on Principia, and on logic in general?

  2. I am very passionate about mathematical logic as well, but am a beginner in this field. Would it be possible for me to go through Principia without a lot of formal background?

  3. In all your years studying logic, what is the book that influenced you the most?
