Clearly designed by someone who only uses one language. The one most used element for me was the side bar, where I could hover over the language to see the translation of some term. Now it's hidden behind a click, and a looot of scroll

Your typical experience doesn't match my typical experience.

Thanks, you're right. I missed that there was supposed to be a √2*√2 in the expansion of the last line.

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
Fair enough. Take 3/2 in that case.

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
Thanks, this is actually a much better description, especially 4. OP's description can be used to "prove" that 1/2 is irrational.

I don't have that expectation. What caused you to have it?

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
The name "acceleration" is just as misleading as "expanding" here, but maybe useful. Our galaxy is non-gravitationally-bound to a lot of other galaxies, and we "accelerate" away from them. Yet we don't rea

You can describe any 2d shape using 3 dimensions, just imagine that it's set askew or bent. From the perspective of the inhabitant of such a flatland, it's undetectable and irrelevant. So is it from the perspective of the topology

I think the balloon analogy is used because people have an easier time imagining that rather than an infinite surface. That, and stretching a surface intuitively imparts momentum on things on top, whereas it's not the case here.

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
When you blow up a balloon, the center of expansion of its surface is not on its surface. Every point on the balloon sees things become farther. As to teleporting to the edge, there is as much an edge to the Universe as to the Earth, so the

The thing is that you don't need to imagine extra dimensions. Th surface of a sphere remains 2-dimensional in this metaphor, even if the actual sphere is 3-dimensional. The Universe is not stretched on anything though, and whatever n

The road wear is said to be proportional to the fourth power of axle load. http://www.cyclelicio.us/2014/fourth-power-rule-road-tax/ That means you deal twice the damage by increasing weight by only 20%. Seems in

You nailed it: GNOME targets new users. KDE doesn't. The advantage of having unique names is that you can actually talk about them, and that includes finding documentation and solving problems via a search engine. Try finding anythng u

Just to be clear, the question of whether it's a backdoor or not doesn't matter for whether bad actors use it. The capabilities are rather well known. Its vulnerabilities aren't, but vulnrabilities do not a backdoor make.

What about publicly known backdoors in your hardware? https://www.techrepublic.com/article/is-the-intel-management... There is hardware that doesn't contain those at least, but it doesn't break power records.

This makes me sad about the state of the Web. Worst thing is, it can't be fixed because the major money makers dictate where the 90% mindshare falls.

Linux phones need money. You're not going to get away with a MVP today any more, the typical customer not only requires basic functionality, but also the ability to run Android apps they are locked into. If you solve slowness by limiti

The rebuilding is not a compulsion, but rather a required option. You're only ruling it out if that option is impossible (which is definitely not the case on Android).

TBH I have no idea. Commercial stuff can be handed out for free, I guess? Look at Krita, OpenSUSE, RHEL, the software on the Librem 5, PinePhone, and Turris routers. Those are just from the top of my head.

by rhn_mk1 4y ago
We could do away with that assumption. It's not descriptive of the reality, as plenty of commercial stuff isn't closed, and neither is plenty of sold stuff. As a prescriptive position, that's not the future I want.

Thank you. I think every challenge about "AGI" should include an explanation of what "general intelligence" is. Is a toddler a "general intelligence"? Is my dog? Is a senile grandma? Obviously, we don't ha

I don't think life can be evaluated as a snapshot in a moment of time. Life is a process, and it affects a population. I think even the most conservative definitions may agree on that. Antifragility plays well with this definition: it
