It would be cool if there was some data to back this up, but it's impossible to get. It's really about young people being impressionable and having the mindset to be inspired by something such that they'll dedicate their mind

I wish they included the datasets they used for the evaluations. As far as I can tell, in appendix II they include some sample questions, answers, and golden chunks but they do not give the entire dataset or give an explicit information on

Someone driving a model y in oakland i would consider rich in the context of oakland yes. This is coming from someone that has spent over 6 years living in the oakland area and over 20 years living in the bay area. Also it's a joke.

This is great, I will check it out, thank you! I'm going to try and get the recommended daily amount of potassium from changing my diet initially. If I still struggle to get enough in my diet I'm going to try some supplements.

by will-burner 2y ago
I'm not planning on taking any supplements, just trying to eat more foods with potassium in them to get up to 3,400 mg per day. I've probably been hitting like 1,000 mg per day if I had to guess.

This is a cool idea, thank you! I have not experimented with using magnesium specifically in any way, but have heard that it's a useful supplement to take.

I've never heard of that, sounds pretty cool. It's surprising to me. I will check it out, thanks!

I've struggled to lower my blood pressure consistently, and I've been told by doctors and always thought that reducing sodium is the most important thing to lower blood pressure. I was unaware of the role potassium plays in tandem

In lay terms the best I can say is that for n greater than or equal to 5, the set of all possible permutations of n things is complicated. For n less than 5 the set of all possible permutations of n things is simple just because n is small.

Galois theory is the explanation and apex of theoretical math that you can motivate and talk about at a dinner table with people that don't even like math, lol. Start with the quadratic formula, everyone seems to have some recollection

I've been saying this in this thread, but Grothendieck used the language of category theory to revolutionalize algebraic geometry. All model algebraic geometry is written in the language of category theory. The best example of a specif

I'd say Grothendieck's proofs of the Weil Conjectures is a good example. His proof uses etale cohomology and the definition of etale cohomoly uses Category Theory in a fundamental way. From the etale cohomoly wikipedia page https
