I see you have a pretty large team, but I can't find a product you sell. How is PlantingSpace funded?

(OP here) That's a good point---these mereologies tend to grow very fast with system size. Exponential is not even so bad. There is the 'redundancy' mereology for example, which scales with the Dedekind numbers. This appears

Author of the post here: There is quite a deep connection actually. You can assign a simplicial complex to a partial order P with a max and a min element (0 and 1). Then the Möbius function on P calculates the (reduced) Euler characteristic

The Möbius function actually appears quite often in statistics/probability theory. I wrote more about this in the paper ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2404.14423 ), but in short: if you invert moments with the powerset Möb

The pairwise description you list correspond to a different link, namely, one where each pair is actually connected. For the shown rings, the 'correct' description would be: A is not connected to B B is not connected to C C is not

Haha sorry to disappoint you. Now I want to do the mereology of meteorology though...

That's right! This is secretly about doing calculus on posets. You can actually generalise some notions from incidence algebras to other settings, like groupoids and categories, where you can play the same games. This is something I mo

I've done exactly this, and set up a cron job to sync regularly. Still very sub-optimal imo.

I have been writing my PhD thesis in VSCode with copilot enabled, and it it absurdly good at suggestions in Latex, from generating tables to writing whole paragraphs of text in the discussion.

If you’re talking about string diagrams, then these are actually just 2D notation for very precise category theory. Manipulating the diagrams is equivalent to proving things in the category, provided you’ve shown soundness and completeness.

I live and grew up around the Nieuwmarkt, and completely disagree with this take. Sure, it is expensive, and sure, there are quite some tourists, but it is extremely liveable and nowhere near Venice levels.

If you want to draw the graph where nodes are words from your comment, and two nodes are connected when they contain the same letters, you would have to draw edges between and and and, and and and and, and ... Explodes even faster.

Another very happy user here. Was super easy to add to my Jekyll site hosted on GH pages. I believe the creator is active here as well btw.

I think the problem here is indeed in how personal his experience is. I don't know where he was born, but presumably not in Berlin/München/Hamburg/Köln. Sure, then moving to study in NYC can make it seem like the culture

Wait what, why do you mention these justices? Surely SC justices must study in the US to learn US law? Why would any of them study in another country in the first place? I would also assume all German Bundesgerichtshof justices would have s

I definitely agree on small German villages having more of a tall poppy syndrome, but I wonder if it's fair to leave out Berlin (and I guess München, Hamburg and perhaps Köln) in the comparison. To make that comparison fair, you'd

Haha I mean sure, I'm not saying German unis are the best at all, and there are plenty of reasons to go to other countries, especially if you're German. It's just pretty absurd to say that Germany does not have good unis, and

I find his statements on German culture a bit weird tbh. Especially his claim that Germany does not have good universities. Sure, oxbridge ranks higher for students, but for research, which I think is what he is interested in, French and Ge

Sure, I'm not saying the housing market is in an especially healthy position, just that the Gini index measures the wrong thing. Its increase alarms people, but it just puts you higher on a list with relatively very equal social democr

Isn’t it agreed upon that the Gini coefficient is misleading though? According to it, the worst inequality can be found in the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries, just because borrowing money for a house is cheap and safe.

TBF: I'm sure people felt the same way about space and time before good descriptions came around. There are plenty of things that seem way too abstract to allow for a precise description, but I think we should be relatively open to the
