"As the electrodynamic force, i.e. the Lorentz force can be related directly to the metrical structure of spacetime, it directly leads to the explanation of the Zitterbewegung phenomenon and quantum mechanical waves as well." Cool

I see that as a broad trend. Very very few people have guiding principles these days. The "problem" with principles is that living by them sometimes means going against something we want right now. People don't want to conced

This is very much like doing a Fourier Transform without using recursion and the butterflies to reduce the computation. It would be even closer to that if a "moving average" of the right length was used instead of an IIR low-pass

How? That makes little sense to me from an implementation standpoint.

I think that's a consequence of programmers making tools for programmers. It's something I've come to really dislike. Programmers are used to doing things like editing configurations, setting environment variables, or using c

And anything designed to catch upstream problems like the XZ compromise will not detect a compromise in the Fedora package build environment. Kinda need both.

This isn't a "data breach" is it? Blue Shield shared data with GA that they were not supposed to right?

UBI doesn't even work algebraically. Where do you take the money out of the economy to pay for it?

Can you clarify that? It sounds like there may be theory behind it, or are you trolling?

I've always wondered why the supply chain has exponential price increase at each step. The example given (guessed at) is the factory produces the shoe for $12.5 and sells it to Nike for $25. Nike then sells it to Footlocker for $50 and

I still have the Troll Hole Adventure on tape, along with the Interact that I learned programming on (MS basic! and machine code - we didn't have an assembler). As I recall, you don't flick the lighter you "flick bic" as

To do the challenge one would just need to understand the platform abstraction layer which is pretty small, and write 1K to 2K LOC. We don't even use much of the GUI toolkit functionality. I certainly don't need to understand the

I'm a hater of complexity and build systems in general. Following the instructions for building solvespace on Linux worked for me out of the box with zero issues and is not difficult. Just copy some commands: https://github.

Yes, we are all well aware of Dune3d. I'm a big fan of Lukas K's work. In fact I wish he had done our GTK port first, and then forked Solvespace to use Open Cascade to solve the problems he needed to address. That would have given

Here is a real coding problem that I might be willing to make a cash-prize contest for. We'd need to nail down some rules. I'd be shocked if any LLM can do this: https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/i
