Ask it to “prove how a martingale converges to the zariski measure on a commutative scheme.” Totally absurd question, totally absurd answer.

Mmmmhhhhh does that count the slaves? Because rich people had a LOT of leisure time.

Are you spending time outside? Walking around, jogging, meeting people, breathing? Get out. It helps to think better. How long are you working daily? More than 8h is wrong wrong wrong. Rest, relax, get out.

Well, they are now miserable in a different and possibly less satisfying way. And time cannot be turned back, unfortunately.

The best way to understand that GPT has no true sense of anything is asking it something absurd from a fringe but well defined subject (i.e. high-level maths). Prompt examples (as homework), one after another. > Please explain why a gaus

Birds have been building nests since time out of mind and nobody pays any attention.

Probably right, that is something I had not thought about.

What is the best interest of the shareholders though? Is it “now” (this quarter) or is it “the future” (say 5 years’ time). Or is it a several variables problem in which there is no “optimum”?

No: Cristianism, in that sense, only tells you that this life is not all . Not simply that “there is a better one”. As a matter of fact, redeeming the time means precisely making the most of it.

Unbelievable behavior “You have our apologies” (by this time I would have had a heart attack being the controller), “Thank you” (not a single bad word or insinuation from the pilot). What people!

You will probably need davmail to download the mail from exchange before passing it on to offlineimap/whatever. I had to do that with my uni’s corporate outlook mail, a real pain but it does work (although I use mu4e, not mutt, but hav

Surprisingly, the command to plot solutions of odes is much better and more interactive than Mathematica’s despite the interface being “uglier”.

One is not obliged to do the best thing possible, or even to choose the “better” thing, as long as one does good.

In Dune they repeat the mantra “fear is the mind killer”. In real life it is anxiety: that is the true mind killer, which prevents you from taking that “step back” because there is always something pressing up. Do get some help and do not e

Yes, it is probably not as severe as I put it, but I do think seeing a doctor would do no harm (hopefully).

You are probably right. As a matter of fact, I was hesitant to use the term “depression” but did not know how to frame it right. Your view is more plausible. Medical help, for sure.

You need to see a psychiatrist. You are ill and the solution has little or nothing to do with shutting tfu. You cannot solve this problem alone, I believe. You do need help. I guess you are having a hard time with money also. Try and find s

It’s not relativity. Einstein pushed first for the american atom bomb because “the germans will make it anyway”. Then he realised that it was way too harmful and recanted. Nothing to do with relativity, just with “if I don’t do it others wi

The “thesis” he speaks about only needs one example to hold, and he is it. So, not much of a “thesis” but a data point. It is possible to survive a shark attack. Well, yes, but do not count on my to try.

That is why passion is not a good way to write laws. Something being useful (lack of privacy) does not make it either good or necessary.

Right. Tell that to Einstein, who just before Hiroshima realized it was not such a good argument. That is a nice piece of history. Ethics is important. And one consequence is: I may die but at least it was not because I made it possible.

Honest question: if I lose the keys to my house, I can call a locksmith etc. If I lose my hardware key I reckon I am screwed?

Yes, see the math overflow question quoted above. Not choice gives you measures where all sets are measurable.

Even more, that is why “shall” and “will” are different terms. But tell that to a lawyer…

The minimum k is the denominator of the supposed irreducible fraction p/q=sqrt(2). He is stating that then there is a different irreducible fraction r/s=sqrt(2). This is because you would have p^2=2q^2 with p and q mutually prime,

Notice thay you know sqrt(2)<2 (this is easy), which does not happen in your case.
