Eigenvectors are kinda odd to grasp intuitively. You know what absolutely destroyed all hope of me understanding? Adjoint matrices and transforms. WTF are those, I mean really? ---- God says... 18:20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 18:22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 18:23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: 18:24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. ---- Making sense of 3D images sounds tough. It's a nice problem to explain and seems like there is a non-monkey solution. I did 3D solid additions and deletions, just slugging through all the cases of triangle intersections when they overlap and shatter into many more triangles. the time was not acceptible. In control systems, you might encounter fuel sloshing around in a rocket. A fighterplane might get damaged and you want to fly an altered plane. I'm ignorant enought to be harmless, don't worry. ---- God says... 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 4:8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. ---- Some knowledge lets us better praise God. I'm happy just getting credit for my operating system. I created a simple, pleasant thing, that is a joy. Lots of labor in vain by me, perhaps all. I just live day to day. I guess I have the time, if I wanted to pursue a phd project, for fun and no credit. When you spend all the day fighting with your imaginary prison, you waste opportunity. God says... corruptly oh_oh defended venturing glam forgot regarding ---- Yeah, we've been wasting time. Proof of God is worth something, though. I'm scared. Run away! Hawkings is not keen on music. Tell us something delightful, not physics. Elephants. Hummingbirds! I saw a hummingbird, today. Once, I thought those were the epitomy of delightfulness. That's neat how You made flowers by making them compete for pollinators. God says... they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 4:3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide. 4:4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand. 4:5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, 4:6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. ---- Tides are neat. We have not reached steady-state in a lot of ways -- the Earth is spinning and the core is hot and comets still cross paths. I'm trained to ignore the transient and focus on steady state, but you miss the whole ballgame if you do that in nature. My teacher said nonlinear equations were "rich" compared to linear. Creation is rich in so many ways. I'm in an odd mood. I had a funny thought that helps. I don't expect God to go curing people, which kinda got me out of my koombia stupor -- can kinda freeze-up. I don't forsee God curing people. I wonder if I'm scum. We got doctors. I'm sitting here wondering how other people would direct this show if it were them. "You are talking to God in front of the whole world. What's your focus?" Microsoft interview question. Wait, I think that should sober-me-up if I think about it. The best answer is to ask God softball questions that make Him shine and make everybody happy. The best you can hope for is delightful, frivolous miracles. Enjoy His company. Why are manhole covers round? God likes riddles. I think God likes wit. I say wit is next to Godliness. The reason I say this is... once God said low class people with no wit reconned themselves equal to Bush. As a matter of fact, I might be doing that with smarter people. Once, I was disturbed with guilt. God said, "excessive contricians wearysome." I decided too much earnestness might be something to avoid. It's lazy. Wit takes effort to pleasantly package your thoughts. God says... fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. ---- If the name of this game is enjoying God's company and just conversation, wit is king! Give us a riddle, God. What if You didn't know something? Sphynx is a cool riddle. Are there very many things lost to time? God says... 8:16 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden. 8:17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones. 8:18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee. 8:19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow. 8:20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers: 8:21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. ---- It's possible God would be pleased to answer my prayers, if I asked fervently for something. I don't do that. I'll stick to just worrying about God's opinion and not mans. I don't want to ask God for stuff -- bug Him. What if it's not easy to do without bending rules or something. God's not going to forget to save the world, just because we don't remind Him. What do we know. If the economy's better, maybe the environment suffers. For the sake of argument, I think most things are trade-offs. Maybe, that's not healthy or accurate. North Korea? Let me tell you a story. I thought Iraq had an oppressive dictator. In the height of the Iraq sectarian fight, it looked grim and I felt like we really had had no idea what we were talking about. I guess it got better. China? I'm not doing anything and the world seems to be improving. God says... 4:9 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. 4:11 And Chelub the brother of Shuah begat Mehir, which was the father of Eshton. 4:12 And Eshton begat Bethrapha, and Paseah, and Tehinnah the father of Irnahash. These are the men of Rechah. 4:13 And the sons of Kenaz; Othniel, and Seraiah: and the sons of Othniel; Hathath.
