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 of an "n-dimensional manifold&

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 to grow fast so hires quickly, but then the people

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 out whether I dig the setting enough that

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 incident underway, secondly it needs someone to d

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 from work, I try to go read a book for a while inste

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 our theories as new evidence comes to light. It&#x27

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 match a lawyer for income -- without all the hastle an

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 thought your brain was telling them :P I make so many

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" evolved into having lucid dreams about once a month

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 think it would be fun, maybe you could expose differen

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 of a Neal Stephenson story which will never be wri

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 important. There was a lot of hype around how big dat

People were already talking about Big Data in the 90s. If you send this idea back in time to 2005, people wouldn't be stunned by the revolutionary innovations it would unlock. They would say, "oh, someone else on the Big Data hype

When I was a kid, what got me into reading novels was Weis & Hickman's Darksword Trilogy. I loved the heck out of that series. I re-read it about once a year well into my 20s. Re-reading it in my 40s, it's definitely kind of c

Nice, this taught me about `git range-diff` which wasn't on my radar before. Is the conclusion likely to be that the author thinks Gerrit is good, or is there some nuance I didn't pick up? I've used Gerrit before and in hinds

When you use Google or another ad-powered search engine, you're saying that it's okay for some company to pay to bias the results away from your best interests. When you use, say, Kagi, you become the customer; they have a vested
