There was quite a lot of political furor, including treating it as much more dangerous than it really is to prevent people from using it off label as COVID prophylaxis.

I think it's a little deeper than that. The new idea here is that if we change the background logic from classical to something else, we can get a logic in which Cantor's theorem doesn't hold, since it apparently requires som

The "Cthulhu numbers" are basically, informally, just "random" numbers. The easiest way to build one is to choose a number at random in the interval [0,1], i.e. by flipping a coin countably many times and choosing each b

For those looking for a good substitute, I've switched to Sublime Text and so far I've gotten it to pretty much a near-perfect replica of the original. Kind of surprising to me how much of the Atom UI was built to mimic the Sublim

I agree that "please urinate with precision and elegance" is more direct than "please use the bathroom cleanly," but it's kind of funny that the translators assumed English speakers would expect the very direct vers

The title of this article is as misleading as it could possibly get. The author's recommendation is to make UUID's longer and encode them with base 64 instead of hexadecimal. That's it. Somehow that means "moving away fr

I agree. I think it's simply that this thing which used to sometimes happen now never happens, thus making the music more predictable and further lowering the entropy rate of music as a stochastic process.

This is just as much of an issue with real teachers.

There is no "human behavior" problem. There is a coordinated effort to ruin the platform by various groups, from Super PACs to foreign governments and everything in between, by turning it into an information warfare battlefield. A

I don't think it makes sense to compare a giant, multibillionaire organization like Twitter to something like the Boring Company, which was never really intended to be a main venture.

Good thing ByteDance's plans were thwarted! Now we can feel safe that such things indeed never happen within large social media companies. Oh joy and rapture!

Sadly, real-world Science is almost never about confirming null hypotheses. There is an enormous amount of research that never gets published for this reason; because the authors had some interesting idea and it just happened to not pan out

Can you elaborate on what you mean?

That's because a strange clicking or buzzing sound is much less likely to be a human voice.

I'm surprised this comments section isn't made up of people talking about how we should never use C++ again and only use Rust from now on.
