I believe I am already familiar with the theory of geometric algebras. (Funny you mention this, since the author clearly believes that most textbook authors are not familiar with the theory of geometric algebras, and that they blindly c

This reasoning is nonsensical. There is nothing to refute in it, but, just to prove it wrong: sarcasm is commonly denoted in spoken English by intonation.

No, algebraic integers are a different set than algebraic numbers. (A subset.) Algebraic integers are much cooler, since there is a number theory on them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_integer . (And also be

I think twitter rate-limits everyone. For example, I don't think that the nitter instance up there will survive the requests of HN-ers.

Not if you define g as the real number before m/s^2, in the expression '10 m/s^2'. In middle school physics lessons this makes teachers to hate you (it's their job to ensure that you do not do this), but after that,

It's not very generous, but actually plausible. Maybe your memory doesn't mix up objects (?), but other people's memories certainly does. (There is even a verb for it: mix up.) HN and reddit are basically the same, and it i
