The abstract just says the time is m^(1+o(1))... anyone know if a more specific bound is stated anywhere?

Oops, I wasn't reading carefully and got this wrong -- this was in fact von Neumann.

This was an earlier husband of hers, not von Neumann.

Thanks! Went and posted over there.

Sorry, what is this quoted from? It's interesting because that first one is something I was discussing recently with my friend Beren (does he have an account here? idk). We were thinking of it as summing over ordered partitions, rathe

Wait, in Swift it's illegal to multiply an int by a double?? So you would have to explicitly cast index to a double? I definitely didn't expect that!

So annoyingly the paper doesn't explicitly state the constant they got, but from a brief skim it looks like it's, like, 10^15?? I really hope someone can improve that...

That seems to be an entirely unrelated full moon story?

Yes, I don't think the Fields medal was intended as the "Nobel prize of mathematics", but since it was the biggest award that existed it got promoted as such despite its inequivalence. More recently there's the Abel pri

One thing not discussed here: Coke had been used in China since ancient times. How does that fit into the discussion about coke here?

You might be making the mistake of thinking that quantum mechanics runs on probabilities, which work in the way you are used to, when in fact it runs on amplitudes, which work quite differently.

Nitpicking, the "half an A press" terminology refers to getting effects from having A held, not from the release (I could nitpick this example more but I'll stop there); something like Street Fighter might be a better example

That's the joke. It's a joke about the quality of King's Quest 8.

Most of what you wrote above doesn't appear to bear on those particular points.

You don't seem to be disagreeing with the article, which concludes that Alexander was in fact a great general whose successes are not due solely to the army he inherited from Philip?

Hey, just a note, there's a problem with the footnote numbering. Clicking on a footnote takes you to the right text, but often the numbers don't match.

The article you link doesn't seem to be about the thing you're talking about. It's about whether the suspect is detained pending trial, not about whether they're ultimately convicted or acquitted. Now of course, you cou

Well, it's discussing having some larger ambient manifold and then embedding other manifolds in it of codimension 2 (and then also taking the complement and studying the fundamental group of said complement). If the ambient manifold h

I wish this article talked more about how this plays out in the 3-dimensional analogue (knot theory) for comparison. I have very little picture of how I would expect this to work, so it would be helpful to start with a case I can picture,

Hm, the text file link in there is broken (both because the link itself is incorrectly formatted and because the file it was supposed to is gone anyway), but the Wayback Machine has it at https://web.archive.org/web/201

It's kind of buried in the article, so probably worth pointing out the "Stop Killing Games" campaign, which will tell you what you can do[0] depending on where you live and whether you own "The Crew": https:/&
