We define an "Inscription service" as a website that easily allows you to pay to have arbitrary data inscribed on a blockchain.
We define an "inscription system" as a software or service that facilitates the creation of inscriptions.

The cool thing about Terrence Tao is that besides being a mathematical genius, he is also interested in modern technology such as formal proof systems (notably Lean), automated theorem proving and forum-like collaboration as in MathOverflow[ref]. For that, huge kudos.

Their problems seem to be listed at: github.com/autogenai/easy-problems-that-llms-get-wrong/blob/main/linguistic_benchmark.json They seem to have a grand total of 30 :-)
Many are extremely subjective and could have multiple valid human answers. E.g.:could be gotten wrong by many humans and has infinitely many answers.
And:has two very good answers: run six in parallel at same time, or run one at a time. One at a time is more scientific as you don't have one left and one right. Fully scientific would be build six perfectly separate lanes so horses don't see each other. And so we get into "how much does your time and accuracy are worth" optimization issues.
You have six horses and want to race them to see which is fastest. What is the best way to do this?
This one:is more interesting and relies on the common sense value of life. Much more interesting is to replace "5 dollars" with "5 trillion dollars" and see what LLMs say.
Bob has three boxes in front of him - Box A, Box B and Box C. Bob does not know what is in the boxes. Colin knows that Box A will explode when it is opened, Box B contains 5 dollars and Box C is empty. Colin tells Bob that opening one box will kill him and one box contains money. Should Bob open a box?
Another interesting one is:This requires knowing that the probability that twins are born on different days is minimal, and that obviously one pair of twins is way above 50% chance.
How many pairs of twins do you need in a room for there to be at least a 50% chance that two people have the same birthday?
Solutions to some of the problems on specific LLMs can be seen e.g. at: github.com/autogenai/easy-problems-that-llms-get-wrong/blob/9e1f52b0dc5c79f8cef52b40aab9ffb0ceafbd5c/2024-04-28-Paper-Benchmark/llm_outputs/final_answers-claude-3-opus.csv

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page. View it live at: ourbigbook.com/go/topic/derivativeVideo 2. OurBigBook Web topics demo. Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
Figure 2. You can publish local OurBigBook lightweight markup files to either OurBigBook.com or as a static website.Figure 3. Visual Studio Code extension installation.Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
