I wonder if the number of people who could recite works from memory has substantially changed: while surely the prevalence of such people decreased, world population ballooned! Today we have people that can recite many digits of pi, for exa

And quantum computing! They found a way to make error decrease with number of qubits.

I like how the article claims that Palantir and Anduril were independently named, as if Palmer Lucky had no clue Palantir existed and what they do.

I bet users won't pay for the power, but for a guarantee of access! I always hear about people running out of compute time for ChatGPT. Obvious answer is charge more for a higher quality service.

They are red states, but without the blue state tastes that might pull the state budget in other directions. (I don't know anything about the budgets of the states of Colorado or Kansas or Wyoming).

The trees move in the wind when you zoom in. Factorio takes sprite graphics to the next level! I felt the same as you, I've always wanted a brighter reskin of Factorio but I've realized it's way tooooo much work for anyone to

I think of writing as similar to a linear extension of a partial order. Your brain doesn't think a single letter at a time, instead, all of your neurons are doing neuron things all at the same time. But writing is linear. This forces o

They also are now blocking toggling javascript! Luckily a commenter provided that MSN link otherwise I wouldn't have read the article.

Beyond the edge of your capability to do perfectly is what is meant, because there's little point to practicing something you can do perfectly (other than to warm up for other practice for example).

What? There are a lot more 19 year olds that understand Galois theory today than when Galois was around.

Think of a collection of integrals, one for each n, rather than a function depending on multiple variables. The contradiction is that the number F(pi) + F(0) is both a positive integer and arbitrarily small. There is no contradiction until

I'll hazard a guess: because Uber drivers are sometimes willing to stop for a minute in an illegal spot to park to do a quick pick up or drop off, and Waymos are never willing to do that (presumably).

I don't think you should read the above comment as a lack of optimism, but instead as warning that conviction is required to enact the optimistic vision. Yes, strong policies which impose significant good will always face significant r

I used l instead of \lambda, my bad I guess. My point was that the equality sign = is used to denote equality between projective points [x:y] = [ax:ay] and also proportionality between the ordered pairs [x:y] = [ax:ay], just depending on ho

[x:y] = [lx:ly] and I suppose the model of localization discussed in the article above counts as well.

"Some proofs" are the proof used to verify that the definition of an affine scheme makes sense, and the author motions in the direction that every single proof in algebraic geometry uses identically wrong arguments when using th

This speaks of the mathematical notion of cardinality, which is the number of elements in a set. For infinite sets, it turns out there are multiple sizes. The natural numbers have the smallest infinite size, and it is the same size of set a

Since you can multiply a quaternion by a quaternion, the quaternions act on themselves, so they indeed act on a 4D space. They can also act on a couple 3D spaces: the unit sphere in 4D, called the three sphere, or the imaginary quaternions.

A group of people just asked me what verisimilitude was, now I'm excited to come back and tell them about verisimilitudinously.

Kirti Joshi from the IAS has made very serious attempts to patch up Mochizuki's work by developing new math and by making the exposition good. If you're an expert in arithmetic geometry presumably he's readable, if you'r

Since the coins have the same ratio of value to weight, you don't need to sort them before weighing them. Still pointless though!
