I like e-ink but I don't really get this. Who are they trying to sell this to? I'm assuming they're targeting businesses that want updatable informational displays because I can't imagine any person that would prefer sta

This. I think at times there's a certain mind trick you have to play on yourself. You have to believe something is possible for your own reasons irrespective of popular opinion. The insight is that popular opinion is often wrong or exa

It seems like the result of the paper should then be conditioned on the correctness of the chain of re-writes that Mathematica used to arrive at the continued fraction. Isn't there a way to tell Mathematica to output all re-write rule

I think that was just misleading fluff. I'm left-handed and I have a current gen reMarkable. It has a good left-handed mode. It looks to me like the metal strip on the left side is meant more as a mount point for the cover. I don&#

I experience this occasionally. It sounds like microphone feedback but with a sort of metallic ringing to it. I didn't realize there was a name for it. I also assumed most people experience it which I guess is wrong.

It's usually a red flag when a question comes with a built-in assumption that reads like an insult.

Honestly, how would an image count as proof nowadays?

And I did eventually confirm that the commit was, in fact, created manually by an actual person and not a bot.

The PR's commit message said that the commit was "automatically generated on repl.it". I guess I don't know how to interpret that. Maybe I'm mistaken and someone did manually created the PR with a bad commit message

Yep, I got the same thing. Haven't merged it and probably won't. Since it appeared to be a bot that created the PR, it seemed like a rather underhanded, spammy way of promoting the repl.it project. It kinda reminds me of the wh

My comment wasn't about that. I was saying that, if the case did in fact hinge on what Musk meant by calling Unsworth "pedo guy", then it should have been a slam dunk in Unworth's favor. So then, by the contrapositive

So then I can call someone a "pedo", hire a personal investigator to prove that fact specifically, and then turn around and claim I didn't literally mean they were a pedophile?

So I guess what's the countdown now until Musk pulls something like this again after having been emboldened to terrorize people with his money?

by davesque 7y ago
Odd considering that Musk hired a personal investigator (apparently a fraudster) in a misguided attempt to prove that Unsworth was, in fact, a pedophile. Kinda defeats that argument, doesn't it?

by davesque 7y ago
It's always interesting to watch high profile people "stick to their guns" in situations like this when even the most basic amount of common sense would tell them to do otherwise. Such a shame too. Musk could be doing so much

I think this is really the bottom line here. This "Pin soundness" matter really seems analogous to the process that any compiler project would go through to identify and fix obscure compiler bugs. I don't think it's qu

Sure, but does it matter? If we decide that's a better use for the energy, then we spend it that way. And can't we capture any carbon generated through that process instead of releasing it as further emissions?

Victor Frankl's book, "Man's search for meaning" is also essential reading in my opinion. A few of my takeaways from that book: 1. People are capable of both great evil and great good (often in close proximity). 2. Havin

I guess it's a balance. Sometimes, you need to face what you're feeling. Other times, you need to avoid getting caught up in it and just press forward. I suppose it might also depend on the character of the feeling. Some feeli

I think OP's point was that they don't do online forums where misinformation is placed in front of your face because you appear to be friends with so-and-so or they've pegged you as belonging to a certain demographic. I also

Kind of light, but it makes me think of the methodology I adopted for learning Japanese, which was to basically ignore the ordering of things. Don't get me wrong; I speak the words in the right order. It's just that I didn'

Honestly I'm a bit confused why these languages are constantly pitted against each other as though one has to eventually win out. They were each designed with different goals in mind and suit different tasks.
