Wow, thanks for the details!

I got this idea late, thanks. My mistake. That makes sense.

Ah, I see where your number comes from. However, those deviations should happen in both senses (adding and subtracting)? But thanks for the computations!

Honestly: this is ridiculous coming from a firm using ECB mode for encryption and deeming it “won’t fix”.

Just a question: 70 degrees in just several thousand years? Is that a mistake?

It is because they are always very energetic. This, together with random quantum behavior, allows the “energetic-muon” to decay (not decompose) into different particles (usually electron etc.). This is a quantum effect, and it is not a deco

It sounds as if the author recorded an interview, did not understand much but inserted what he or she deemed interesting. I cannot parse that text either.

I guess it is the same as… Mickey mouse. I do not think anyone other than Disney could use a mouse named Mickey as a character and not expect to be sued.

Thanks a lot. I was mistaken.

Thank you! I was mistaken then.

Are they? I thought there was always a kind of “random parameter” or random step midway? Hope this question is not too dumb!

I guess he was thinking of arithmetic. In any case, any model which includes infinity (and Peano arithmetic already does) is pure convention and unconsciously assumes a lot of things. Finitary induction may make sense as something "uni

They address this in the abstract (or the introduction, I forget).

That example looks good and virtuous. Until you realize that the new boss might perfectly think: “this firm has been giving so much to all those families… maybe they should return something more than just their jobs. I am going to suggest

No no no no: There is no “should” or “shuod not”, you are ill and there it is, NOTHING TO DO WITH RESPONSIBILITY. You need a doctor because you are ill. Of course, a friend who does not judge and knows something about depression would also

The west preferred freedom to life. There are many many historical figuresbwho died for that idea.

This is exactly why Torvalds is so radical on not regressing: it is costly for him (I am sure there are many things hr would have done differently now) but ensures the users’ security.

I know. I was trying to stress that it is not novel at all to think of “complex probability”.
529.
by pfortuny 4y ago
Complex measures are a thing in mathematics since… well, possibly since measure theory was. The thing is expressing this in a way which is understandable by a physicist (measure spaces are not exactly “simple”). https://web2.ph.u

I use davmail on Macos and linux for my uni’s office365 account with MFA, both from inside and outside the uni’s network. No need to ask for an app’s permission etc. I guess it should also work on Windows.

And, now that you mention it: Guantánamo is still a thing.

The first time I did this there were angry faces and comments. However, thise people do respect me and at the same time, who really holds a grudge about something that happened under the influence? They remember very little. EDIT: sonlong a

Sometimes you just need to impose your point of view. It will feel wrong the first time but thence, people will let you do as you please. Just try. If they do not accept you, they are not worth the company. "No, I am not drinking any m

The mail gets posssibly worse (worth reading). A pity because there are clearer and more polite waysbto convey the same message: “This is not the way I intend the kernel to take.”

by pfortuny 4y ago
Well, yes within your constraints . In the end, you are choosing between two aspects. Same as with screens: you could have resolution (1024x768!!) or color (16bits!). Edit: the term I could not remember is tradeoff.

by pfortuny 4y ago
well, you are right and I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled… I stand corrected.

by pfortuny 4y ago
Be careful: 16 bits was quite a lot of colors around 20 years ago. Now we would laugh at it. Ditto for 640Kb of RAM (who would need more?) etc. Not trying to be dismissive just saying that... computational limits are limits on what can be d

Thank you! And thank you for your help to people with mental issues! Being depressed is terrible. I cannot imagine what hallucinations must be.

There is no “rational” decision when your mind does not work correctly. Subjectively it is but it is objectively both wrong (because false) and imprudent (because data is discarded which should not be). I am speaking from experience as a de

It looks like they were lesser works, not worth the trouble (in the way you mean). It was not a bust of Cesar or something like that.
