The ancient Egyptians dug canals from the Nile all the way up to the base of the pyramids they were in the process of building. Then they built rafts that they ferried the stones from the quarries all the way to the build sites. Just in cas

Before, during and the week after April fools I do not read the news at all because I just assume it is all garbage. Just my two cents.

This seems to be the reason they put the telemetry in. They were solving a bug related to the time calculation feature. And, needed to discover if any customers had issues after the change was made. https://github.com/Micros

According to the formula I provided, to slerp for example, rotors require lambda and theta. Whereas quaternions only require the lambda. Is there an alternative I'm missing?
127.
by palisade 8y ago
Partially true, internally libraries represent the rotor as just four scalars and can convert these to a quaternion. However, to actually make use of the rotor to do anything useful, e.g. interpolate, which is a power quaternion math has in

Quats can be represented with (x, y, z, w). Rotors require a vector, bivector and angle (vec_x, vec_y, vec_z, bivec_x, bivec_y, bivec_z, theta). If you are storing or transmitting a quaternion it consumes less space and in 3D simulations or

Most of humanity assumes we are meant to be here. It was a more interesting thought experiment to consider that we might be a happy accident.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. The problem with coming up with a test for being in a simulation is that the creator of the simulation might simply overwrite our memories. They could make us believe we succeeded in pr

My apologies! I didn't mean the "Very confusing" comment as an ad hominem attack. Seeing it from the production side I don't see that there is any attempt to suppress production. Everyone wants a good harvest and to prod

Yes, a lot of small land holdings. There are large corps and also government owned/run farms, but a vast majority of agriculture in the u.s. is family run. Which is not a bad thing, because they love what they do and we need them as a

by palisade 8y ago
Nope, even small farms receive them. And, most of the farms in the U.S. are actually owned by rural families, not large corporations. Edit: When I think of evil megacorp PACs and their lobbyists, I don't think of agriculture at all. Fa

I think you misunderstand the purpose of the subsidies. It isn't that the government wants these farms to completely stop producing. Soil conservation is about preventing dust storms by rotating different crops between fields and then

I've had a theory for a while that we might be in a simulation run for historical purposes. That in a distant future, we or other civilizations evolved to a point where we were capable of creating a simulation of our own universe for t

Another thing no one considers. If the simulator or maintainers of the simulation identify that the individuals being simulated are aware of or close to determining they are in a simulation, they may alter the observations in the minds of t
