    It would still provide better context to see the numbers that the parent proposes, though.

    Yeah but the Collatz probably has one of the highest man-hours of actual waste. Ergo: > “This is a really dangerous problem. People become obsessed with it and it really is impossi…

    Great article. > Could a syndrome so stealthy have lurked among us all along? Commins and van Nunen don’t think so. The surge in alpha-gal patients was too sudden and too great. Va…

    Just reread this comment and it's not easy to understand, but the edit window is passed. What I meant is that they describe loglogn the same way you could describe O(n) or O(n^2) -…
