Okay, so assembly and soldering required, but all parts included and I don't need a 3D printer. Can do. Weird that they don't mention any of that. The finished item looks like a good trackball.

Definitely not. Brute forcing this would be exhaustively searching the space of possible proofs until succeeding. This is heuristically remixing and extending existing work.

It still isn't an option for most problems, either because it would take far more computing power than is available or because the number of things to compute is infinite. In both cases, new theory is what can succeed instead. Developi

This is great! It would be really helpful if it had some measure of the number of users (stars?) and a contributor count. It's pretty hard to determine which of these projects are going to stick around. Total length of time under acti

In that case you shouldn't call it Manim or "3Blue1Brown's animation engine". At best this has a partly Manim-compatible API, similar to how XY [1] has a partly Matplotlib-compatible API. [1] https://news.yco

The order is the main thing, but it's not just that. It's common to swap cat with something else like head, tail, grep etc., and that's easy. If you have "< file command" instead of "cat file | command&quo

For interactive use like these examples I think this is terrible advice. cat is very helpful because it fits into pipelines like every other command. For example: Take a look at the start of a file: head file Filter for things:

It would be trivial to train future models to detect and read it though (and some already can, based on other comments in this thread). It only works as much as it does because it's new and reading it hasn't been a goal.
