It's a good question. It's easy to assume they're talking about R^126 (where R is the reals) but digging a bit deeper I don't think it's true. The Kervaire invariant is a property …

Unless you're talking about a compiler built into the kernel, I don't see that anyone is in a position to dictate to each distro what compilers they package.

I feel like we're working at the same company. Not just this comment but your others on the same topic. I've seen all the exact same mistakes over the last year. The company wants …

> I can't find that bit in the article and I haven't heard it before: could you share some more? The second paragraph has what you want. From the article: > The App Tracking Transp…

I thought Pot8o expanded to Potuberneteo

This is just an ad.

Would it be fair to say that you also don't appreciate solo rpgs?

I've found chatgpt useful for trying out D&D settings that I don't normally get to experience in my usual group. It loses the plot after a while, but it's enough for me to figure o…

I'm not convinced it's deliberate dishonesty. Just a communication disconnect. Firstly, it can take time from the first yellow flags to the full realization that there really is an…

I'm the same age as you. I think it would be difficult to disentangle reduced focus from changed internet usage. Personally I'm trying to watch less youtube. When I want a break fr…

I don't think it's accurate to compare it a theocratic phenomenon. Ask any physicist, they will say that science requires checking our theories against the evidence and changing ou…

> Yet another reason to buy MP3s from known bands and musicians and just listen to it offline. Or FLACs, if you can get them, which you can on bandcamp. I've got a terabyte of musi…

> My guess is that mathematical research utilizing these systems is probably the future of most of the field (perhaps to the consternation of the old guard). ... Terence Tao has a …

Computer science opens the door to a wide range of work. The lower end of that range is indeed insecure and doesn't pay very well. However, get into the right industry, and you can…

Even if you know the correct spelling, it's an easy mistake to make when you're writing fast. Sometimes hands seem to just want to do their own thing while typing out what you thou…

Plot twist: the number was originally generated by an AI, and that AI was selected for redistribution because it produced numbers that humans can easily get behind.

That's how lucidity started for me. I was having recurrent nightmares, and gradually built up my confidence at repelling the threat with telekinesis and fire. Those "skills" evolve…

Let alone ones that are the size of 20k-year-old cars.

This is pretty cool. I've organically done something similar for many years (i.e. tried to optimize leave to coincide with public holidays to get those extra long weekends.) If you…

Do you mind if I ask what format you've settled on? Having a system evolve over multiple generations means you must have pruned out all the bad ways to do it. I've got this vision …

To me, it didn't come across as deliberately evasive. It came across like tier 1 helpdesk not really understanding how a query fits into their pre-defined categories, and trying to…

I learned painting and guitar to an intermediate level in my 40s, after never taking art or music listens since junior high. Everyone can get up to 80th percentile in pretty much e…

I didn't claim Big Data wasn't important. But looking at the opening paragraph of the article, I just don't think it was a revolutionary idea in 2005. We knew big data was importan…
