   Better stated, the 2-body problem can be solved with a finite number of standard operations, i.e. a closed-form expression. This solution does not exist for the 3-body problem.

   Although I like the images that this poem evoke in my mind (of deers and computers coexisting in a forest), I can't accept the "watched over" part. That seems to go contrary to the solarpunk vision of an end to hierarchy. Or

    All true, but I never liked this explanation. How do you use it to analyze a given circuit? With the infinite gain concept you can use a limit to calculate the behavior of any circuit.

    There's a stretch between "overeating experiments fail to sustain body weight" and "diet doesn't cause obesity". That kind of stretch is not even necessary for the main point of the article, so I think it is ju

    I think parent was expecting to see things like operations between random variables and their typing system. I am trying to imagine how all of this could be derived from the isomorphism presented, but it's beyond my mathematical reach.

    I used to have one of those, and it bricked after a power outage. Luckly it only contained media I could download again. I opened it to try recovering my files from its HDD directly, but to my surprise it merges the HDD with a portion of in
