Maybe tinfoil hats can do something similar to the copper vests?

All research and progress boils down to Brownian Loop Soup. Someone/something having a result showing a connection does not mean they have explored "the way" to do it. Not even the most elegant mathematically perfect solution

the earth is round, but not really quite. Gravity is 10 m/s*2, but not quite, it’s the same everywhere on earth, but not really. A day is 24 hours, but not actually. A year is 365 days, except it’s not, and the leap years correct for t

this reminds me of a book "monsters and magical sticks, there's no such thing as hypnosis?". Which to my memory seemed to suggest hypnosis, and the states of altered consciousness associated with it, as people being affected

Jumping in on this; I’ve found jurafsky/martin a good place to start. Covers a lot of ground and is a pretty good read as well. https://web.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/slp3/

Same difference back then. (Iceland was basically expat Norwegians who held more on to the older beliefs while Norway got ravaged by christianity, and as a consequence of the priests going straight from dying rites to baptisms; the black p

So... this isn’t news at all, but rather can be seen as supporting what our (norwegian here) own older tales and historians wrote down around the time: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heimskringla It’s well known we we

This reminded me; People seem way too comfortable / in the dark when it comes to voice-cloning, which, with the added data of general speech-patterns, is likely to become a major issue wrt political/legal issues. see: https:&#x2

Tragedy of the commons, and the laziness of a false sense of security railings. Basically; I agree with you, and I think it is because of the way people act in a society that seems structured. People seem to think that if there is a crowd o

There’s a theorem known as the Convolution Theorem: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution_theorem Much used in simplifying kernel operations and convolutions (and some other nifty tricks.) Another useful idea is

Something I found interesting when running analysis on Ising models; if you do an FFT (2 dimensional) on it, you get what amounts to a wavey star-like blob in the middle (assuming you center the lowest frequencies) If that blob is a small d

After thinking about this for a while, there’s a pattern to games that might be useful to think about: Games generally follow a pattern of: - presenting a pattern to look for. - presenting tools to solve that sort of pattern. Then task you

Loved the Zachtronics games, but at a certain point they hit the issue with becoming 5+ h investments into a single problem, and cross the boundary to tediousness. Only fully finished exapunks, which somehow didn’t scale as harshly wrt time

Same here. Early Lucasarts adventure games drove me and my younger brother to learn english as a second language from around the age of 6.

Of course. Yeah, what I was trying to illustrate is that with enough contextual knowledge the amount of things one has to memorize becomes comparatively smaller. Basically if one learns and remembers Euler's Identity and the expansion

I was recently thinking about this, but on a slightly bigger scale. There’s a term “off-kilter”, which is easy to explain using vectors like this. If we take the general vector of society, just sum up all personal vectors and normalise, we

I’ve read most Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett 3 or more times. Finite and Infinite Games, by James P. Carse is another philosophical favourite when it comes to getting something new each read through. Book of Mirdad, which is like a mo

Second this. In the ongoing protests etc. I’ve realised how much the stories about Vimes have shaped my ideas of what a policeman should be.

taylor of e goes something like 1 + x + x^/2! + x^3/3!... Well if we look at cos and sin, we know that these correspond to e^x if x = i x So then it’s easy to plug that in to the expression for e and get e^{i x} = 1 + ix - x^2&#

Society values education, not necessarily teaching, it seems. For an outsider looking in at the US, it looks like they do not really value teachers (compared to professors) much. Not by the economic measure at least.

I just remembered reading something years back about how “because” is a magical word. People are surprisingly more susceptible and accepting of any request if you add a “because X” where the reason can be almost entirely arbitrary. Examples

I like OBS as it allows a good amount of customization. Also allows you to set up your layout for the video-windows, with presets/templates, iirc. Recommend you have a second screen open on the obs, though, so you can easily manage wha
