It is a competitor of mathematica. It is a front end of numerical libraries, but also a wrapper of external mathematical libraries, such as gap, pari etc. It can solve differential equations, do number theory, group theory, data analysis, e

Well there is this famous paper by Volovich [1] where he argues that space is basically pixelized and p-adic numbers might best describe their geometry. But of course this has no connection with the reality we have access to. p-adic numbers

There are two possible extensions of the rational numbers: the reals and the p-adic numbers. This is because of Ostrowski’s theorem which states that any norm defined for rationals, can either be the normal absolute value or the p-adic norm

I fully sympathize with the sentiment of the article. I also left with the impression that fundamental physics is data starved.

After a quick check with wikipedia’s sources, I found that the previous operational energy per collision was 13TeV and now it is 13.6TeV, a 4.6% increase.

I think I am lacking a but a bit if context. It seems that he refers to a particular paper. It would be important to know what he is responding to.

The main point is the uncertainties are underestimated, cause you can confuse a heavier Z boson for a W if one of the muons to which Z decays escape detection and so the event looks like a muon-neutrino decay of Z. The author seems to doubt

Does anyone know if there is any demand for quantum coders (with physics background?) or it is still exclusive?

In greek it is actually, “i have it noted on my testicles”, or in short “on my testicles”. I don’t think the one posted is used very much.

Varufakis was only vocal about these things in the media. During the Euro meetings, he kept silent, talking general nonsense, eating by himself, taking selfies and filming in secret. He is a cartoon character, who the populist prime ministe

I also lived there. I agree with the sentiment of this comment. People do complain about the lack of art and the occasional censorship and there are problems, such as the invisible poor and the worker-slaves, but overall it is a well govern

This is entirely true, however this can probably be configured in settings. For example you could configure that faceid is only activated on any key stroke such that the screen does not unlock unintentionally.
