Calderón did exactly that. Fought an all-out war with the cartels. 60,000 people dead and nothing changed.

Erm, I'm not sure you clarified anything other than removing one pair of spurious round brackets that who knows why they're there in the source material. There are other weird form…

> That part is fine. But why, then, does multiplying zzˉ give a “magnitude” that works in a reasonable way? Because the product of all Galois conjugates is a norm and the determina…

Wow, so you used the earliest public versions. Ever written a retrospective of what 40 years of Emacs has been like?

Rentals too often came without the manual.

The Japanese release of the game flips around the "soundless" sections with the music section, suggesting that listening to that rocking track for most of your flight is the intend…

The information to properly land the plane is in the manual. The required air speed and altitude have never been a secret, if you read the manual (which I guess most kids didn't). …

Btw, as all Möbius transforms, a Smith chart can be understood by looking at the complex plane as a sphere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z1fIsUNhO4

That's interesting. Was AI slop harder to spot in 2023? I can't remember anymore when did everything really start getting flooded with it.
