Fun! But I wasn’t able to finish: I got a captcha with digits 5, 3, 7, and 8. When the chessboard appeared, the best move was Qe6. These conflicted with the rule to have all digits sum to 25 (5+3+7+8+6=29).

As also a non-expert, I can add that the superposition and entanglement of qubits are performed using gates as in classical computing. There’s the Hadamard gate which takes two particles outputs a quantum superposition of the particles. Pas

For another logic text, I really enjoyed Walton’s Informal Logic: A Pragmatic Approach . It describes arguments as existing within different types of dialectic contexts (e.g. debate, deliberation, negotiation). Arguments that are fallaciou

I’ve been dabbling in this, and created my own keyboard layout to include all kinds of math characters using the right Alt key for level 3 and level 4 shift. Also replaced caps lock with the compose key. Didn’t take too long to get accustom

Who are "the news media companies" here, exactly? Who is "they" and what do you mean when you say they "forgot race relations to push other issues"? I ask this because I'm pretty sure race relations are st

10 feet away from what, exactly? A ‘law enforcement activity’? Is that area defined in a meaningful way? What if a bystander records 10 feet away, but a second person stands in between and records 5 feet away? Has the area of law enforcemen

So hypothetically, if one is being illegally beaten by a person who happens to be an on-duty police officer, all the victim has to do to achieve justice is turn on their camera to record the incident to gather evidence. Bystanders can feel

Thanks for your response in the other thread (FTR your reply was already flagged dead by the time I noticed it). I’m responding to that. I understand your position. On your point about why people think marriage is a right… I suspect this is

You're not suggesting this, but your line of reasoning can be applied to prevent people who are sterile from getting married. Couples without children can adopt children, regardless of the gender of the parents.

Don't hold me to this, but if I recall, the recommendation is to consume 8 cups (1 cup = 8 oz ≈ 0.23L) of water a day, and the water contained in our food counts. This is to say, people conflated 8 cups of water to mean 8 glasses

In the past, a recession was defined as two consecutive quarters of decline in GDP [I think the definition has loosened somewhat recently, but I’ll ignore that]. Real GDP (which accounts for inflation) was up in 4Q 2021, but down 1Q 2022. B

I was responding to your suggestion that avoiding calling monkeypox a ‘gay disease’ was “just political correctness” by suggesting that some meaningful percentage may instead be “actual correctness.”

Neither syphilis nor unsafe sex nor HIV are unique to gay men, nor is monkeypox. I think that is enough to genuinely disqualify it as a ‘gay disease’.

Just a note on IQ tests: a test conducted by a psychologist includes several different areas beyond what this test covers. Longer term memory, for example, is a component not assessed here. These components are scored both separately and co

IMO The tone of HN comments is teetering over the edge of decorum, similar to the atmosphere of Reddit prior to every new nadir of commentary there. I'm not going to look through rose-tinted glasses and suggest "things were better

A black hole is just an object with so much dense mass that its Schwarzschild radius[1^] extends outside of its body. Everything has a Schwarzschild radius. [1^]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius
