Gravity waves detection and cheap solar cells are mind-blowing to me. Gravity waves for just the sensitivity achieved and solar for how rapidly it’s improved. It used be a cute technology used in calculators, impossible to match economically turning a generator or directly burning stuff, and now it’s the default first choice.

I used LyX when I authored some papers

So I can cover a song and distribute it, right? Right??

With the right prompt, perplexity could do it

Damn, I thought we were going philosophical but nevermind that then. I agree sometimes complex numbers are thought of as weird which they certainly shouldn’t be. 2D numbers are not a great name though coz (x,y) rather than (x,iy) is what comes to mind. Maybe we should just stop using imaginary. Complex or quaternions are enough.

Yeah, I agree it can all be mapped onto positive reals. How about zero? Would that be needed to be having a physical reality ?

Talking about how numbers actually manifest in objective, physical reality - imaginary number appears in quantum hamiltonian, so maybe that’s more real?

That’s like saying negative numbers or fractional numbers is just two while numbers stitched together because that’s how computers deal with it

Russia is European too :D Sorry about the imprecision, I meant EU company

Only SUSE is European, right? So either that or a lesser known one

Alcohol is way more addictive than cannabis

Politics. Gotta ensure that utopia survives and expands

I close the lid and don’t give a damn what happens.

This is good actually, “privacy sandbox” is like baked in ad targeting service. Better to just block third party cookies. I’ve only needed third party cookies for microsoft 365 stuff.

In Tamil calendar it is the year 5126. https://www.drikpanchang.com/tamil/tamil-month-panchangam.html

Indian subcontinent has several calendars, followed today, in different parts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_New_Year's_days

Feels silly to have months in first place. Could have been just <year>-<day of year>.

As a parent, I’d say be politically active and don’t get into trouble. There are strategic uses of getting into trouble like mass civil disobedience but it takes a lot more of non troublesome kind of political activity before getting there.

If you’re concerned that “unskilled” is derogatory, changing the word for it isn’t helping. https://youtu.be/o25I2fzFGoY

Viva le dirt?

Which statistics program is it?
