I think what the GP means is that whitespace is often not ignored by LaTeX, so line breaks can cause extra wide spaces between words. It's common to comment out the line break in LaTeX for this reason. This is much less of an issue in

There can still be cases where a fourth run is necessary, theoretically a fifth run. There are even cases where you get into an infinite loop, for example if you use the vref package. It will "cleverly" replace references to thing

LaTeX is not as stable as people make it out to be. I don't know how many packages there are for working with tables, but 20 years ago, `tabu` was the most recommended package, until the maintainer stopped responding. Now the package i

Besides airplanes mentioned in the other comments, this is also common in airports. Zürich Airport gives you four hours for free. Stuttgart Airport has 60 minutes.

It's 3), I'm afraid. There is no shortest length unit (as far as we know), the Planck length is a constant, and its only significance is that at these length scales, we need a theory of quantum gravity to describe what's happ

Expansion happens only in the Lemaitre-Friedmann-Robertson-Walker walker metric, which is a solution to the Einstein equations in a homogeneous universe. That's a fine approximation to our universe at the largest scales, but not on the

Forward secrecy and deniability would be nice to have though.

I did something similar at the Zürich airport and gained access to a second four hour window of free wifi. You had to bind your MAC to your identity either via SMS or via boarding pass, two independent channels. Only problem was that I only

Please communicate in full sentences with me. I can only guess that your objection is something about probabilities. A microstate has a probability independent of my knowledge of the system just like the probability of having a royal flush

Just look at the definition of entropy. Knowledge about a system never enters the equation. S := -k_B sum p_i ln (p_i)

You only hear these terms in layman explanations. Physics has precise definitions for these things. When we say "ordered", we mean that a particular macrostate has only few possible microstates. Check this Wikipedia article for a

I was able to get one for my head once on the same day. One of the symptoms must have raised some major red flags, I guess. This was in Heidelberg, they have a huge medschool. For my knees I waited for weeks, if not months, though.

And if you're security conscious like me and want to do things the "right way" just because you can (or should be able to), you now have to think about firewall rules, certificate authorities, DNS names, notifications, backup

I think you can now use Claude Code while only paying for Pro, ie. the chat bot web app. The API is a separate pay-as-you-go plan, or has been until now. But I'm not quite sure, they're super confusing about this.

Any confusion about this should go away as soon as you make clear what exactly you are talking about. If you construct the real numbers using Cauchy sequences and define the* decimal representation of a number using a Maclaurin series at

Nothing about this is obvious. The age of the universe is related to the integral over the inverse Hubble parameter. The age of the universe is founded by measuring the Hubble constant among other things, not the other way round.

Hubble found that the recessional velocity of a galaxy is proportional to its distance. The proportionality constant is called the Hubble constant. It's a bit of a misnomer though, because it's only constant through space, not tim

No, we are not saying that. We are saying that the entirety of space - and not just its contents - have been compressed into a point (ignoring quantum gravity for now). Any two points in space have been arbitrarily close if you play the

Also, every cosmologist knows the standard model is not the final answer. I think the author is really trying to overstate the controversy.

by mr_mitm 1y ago
The other two sibling comments expressed some doubt, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that in the standard model, and to the best of our knowledge in reality, the big bang did not have a center.

Yes, but the article is indeed unclear about this. In particular this line: >The farther away that galaxies were, the faster they were receding. This is already the case in Hubble's law, which says that the velocity is proportional

Can you give a less trivial example? How would different wording help with understanding the proof of Greene's theorem, for example? When it comes down to it, it's just complicated stuff. Maybe seeing strange symbols appears like

I run claude code in a podman container. It only gets access to the CWD. This comes with some downsides though, like your git config or other global configs not being available to the LLM (unless you fine tune the container, obviously).
