Fun fact: 1782¹² + 1841¹² = 1922¹² is an incorrect equation, per Fermat's last theorem.
They put that equation there because some of the writers of the episode have a mathematical background, and they knew it was wrong, but the error is so relatively small that if someone writes that in a normal calculator they'll get the equality. So basically an easter egg for someone that knows about Fermat's last theorem.
Spotify has patents on underestimating your emotional state based on the music you listen to. One can guess they sell such data. A hard pass for me.
Self-hosting Jellifyn/Navidrome has been really fun (but I'm aware it is not something everybody wants/can do).
This was so much me with the concept of generalized Cartesian product. All the class was very confused with that topic, until a bright classmate pointed-out a relationship of that concept with Python list and it started to do so much sense.
I'm curious: Is it a bad idea to have iptables with a default DENY rule? I use a deafult DENY in ufw, and it uses iptables under the hood.
I think GP is suggesting that, for a better picture, you also need to include stuff like the CO2 emissions from the vitamins you'll need to eat to balance the nutritional deficit. Given how bad meat is for the environment, it wouldn't surprise me that the total balance is still way worse for meat.
Somehow I feel the need to clarify I'm not shilling for beef, but extra vitamins is something that my vegetarian SO constantly has to be keep in mind.
Apocalypse Now. Damn, what a movie.
Great movie. If you haven't, you should check out Arrival (2016).
who dismissed it as US propaganda.
Do you have a source on that?
For my part, I’ll never forgive them for Megaman X 6 and beyond. The story was clearly written to end with Megaman X 5, then transition into the Zero series of games, but Capcom was too greedy to leave it alone.
Oh man, I got so many Vietnam flashbacks with Gears of War 4 and beyond. Microsoft really massacred my favorite video game saga :c
Even more, I think it's basically the only way. Lichess app got removed from vanilla F-Droid because of that.
You can see Michael's webpage here: https://michel.talagrand.net/.
Interestingly, there's some open problems posted, and he has some prizes for solving them, ranging from $1000 to $5000 USD per problem.
The French mathematician spent decades developing a set of tools now widely used for taming random processes.
This year's Abel Prize has just been awarded to Michael Talagrand. I didn't knew about his work, but it seems really interesting and he made an effort to make it really accessible both to read and access.
Your comment seems so out of touch with the reality of majority of people. I think you are taking an extremist and unreasonable stance.
Completely agree with you on the first part. My point is that:
- Long term storage in a non-trivial thing to do, from a technical, social and ecological POV. However, it can be build, as shown in the linked documentary.
- Not going nuclear has disadvantages (that IMO out number the advantages).
- Going nuclear also has disadvantages. Thus, the view of experts on the field has a big importance of the topic. In this matter, the consensus I most commonly find in the physicists community is that nuclear is a energy source that should replace carbon/coal, but needs to be complemented with solar/wind/water/thermal, not just disregarded.
I would like to add that I did not try to call you dumb, I'm sorry if that's the way it ended up sounding like. The dumb part was directed to the people in charge of the decisions, not you.
This is an interesting documentary about the topic: Into eternity. The documentary has a depressing and ephemeral feeling, but I find it extremely amusing that we are taking steps to protect people that will live thousands of years from now.
Taking decisions like "nuclear or not nuclear", "how to dispose the waste", etc. is hard, but doing so ignoring the people that invest their whole life studying the topics is just dumb.
Being a number nerd, I can see the appeal for something like this (extremely bad quality of data aside), or at least I do frequently visit OpenBenchmarkin.org (similar concept than UserBenchmark, but open source).
I also know 1 person who is obsseded with constantly buying/selling parts for their PC, and for whatever reason still uses UB after I told them how shit it is.
My guess is that this will also resonate with some Intel fanboys.
All of this is more of an exception to the rule, but they need just a few bunch of people subscribing to generate more profit than before.
I think it depends. In my case, I write faster in LaTeX as the formatting is done a lot quicker. Just need to find one template I've already used and is aproppiate for the ocassion.
Although being able to take a screenshot and paste it is a huge bonus and time saver in LibreOffice when taking notes in real time.
Me refiero a que es una mentira decir "la asociación china se basa en una relación comercial libre de condicionamientos políticos".
Lo correcto entonces sería decir eso en vez de decir mentiras.
Es una contradicción decir que "la asociación china se basa en una relación comercial libre de condicionamientos políticos", cuando dos o tres párrafos antes se menciona que una consecuencia de las relaciones fue el no reconocimiento de Taiwan por parte de paises latinoamericanos.
Becase it's false and the math severely wrong.
