This kind of comment might have been borderline reasonable before 2025 (though I would have found it laughable even then), but the evidence of the last 18 months shows that one side is in fact evil, corrupt and venal in entirely unprecede

Covariance and contravariance are mathematical notions, and have to do with whether each multiplicative constituent or the tensor is a vector in your given vector space (covariant) or a linear functional on this space (contravariant). There

This is not answering my question at all! How do you generate evidence??

Hard to read this and conclude that there can be any actual way to produce admissible evidence. Can you give me an example of what conversations you can use as evidence if anything involving him or his advisers is off limits?

How would you prove anything if you can't present any of his actual conversations about Watergate as evidence?

Geometric Langlands, while inspired by questions Weil was interested in, is actually answering somewhat different questions, which are not arithmetic in nature: hence the 'geometric' moniker. The actual Langlands program, which de

As a poor grad student, I used to unwind by watching Arrested Development playing all 3 seasons in a loop over Shoutcast. Fun times.

Riemann surfaces are algebraic, but their moduli can mean two different things: a) the (algebraic) moduli space of complex Riemann surfaces of a fixed genus (number of donut holes). This is an object in the realm of algebraic geometry in th

Yes, I remember when I first moved to New England, and asked where I could get a hand carwash. No one had heard of such a thing.

I'm not seeing these responses. Edit: Interesting! If I ask about the Washington Times after I ask the question about the NYT, then it tells me freedom of speech is paramount. If I ask it to start from scratch, then I get this respon

All these 'best' accounts are essentially the Twitter equivalent of SEO farms, as far as I can tell.

Professional pure mathematician here, so I'm curious if you have many examples of this bullshitting you seem to think is omnipresent. In my experience, the field is reasonably efficient at policing this, as in the case of the one examp

>What I’ve actually seen is that use of Harmonium as an accompanying instrument is much more common across the spectrum (both north and south) The harmonium has disappeared entirely from the carnatic concert stage actually.

So you'd be fine with labeling Tesla a state-affiliated organization? I suppose that's at least consistent, though I don't see the utility of a label that applies so broadly.

By that criterion, Tesla is a lot more state funded than NPR: https://subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/parent/tesla-inc

This is certainly a cool system from a theoretical perspective, and functions as a great mnemonic device, provided you know how the standard Indian alphabet is structured. But fear not, there's a sort of mnemonic for that as well: The

It used to be more common a few decades ago, even in Carnatic, to use the harmonium to accompany basic lessons (sarali, Janta, geerhas): the notes are easier to distinguish. Once the music moves beyond this to actual raga-based compositions

Chicago house values have been quite stable in certain neighborhoods. The South Loop condo that I sold 5 years ago has barely appreciated in value, while the condo I sold 4 years ago in the Boston area has gone up 70% since.
