  • I recently went to Germany too and there's such an uncomfortably large number of cops everywhere. Do you happen to have more info on what you talked about? Id love to read up on it and potentially want friends who live there.

  • Germany has an incredibly high prevalence of homeopathy being prescribed by doctors. A german friend told me people have been sued for publicly stating homeopathy doesnt work- I asked them to send me their source, I'll post it when they do!

  • Careful, this might get you sued in Germany.

  • I have never met a PhD student who didn't realise this before starting. You'd think someone who qualifies for grad school has better critical reasoning skills than this.

  • A scalar is just a 0th order tensor

  • I'm shocked that the US only adopted this in 2009. I'm pretty sure my mum, who went to primary school in the 70s, recognized number lines when I was taught to use them on 2005ish. I'm having a hard time imagining how else you'd explain it.

  • Thanks a lot! I'll try to figure it out myself first, and might get back to you if the need arises!

  • To be very honest, I'm also a tad embarrassed to share my code. I guess I'll ask my professor about this.

  • I'm sorry to tell you this but people do not, in fact, publish mathematical proofs on GitHub routinely. You publish them on arxive once the paper is done. And then in a journal. The solvers themselves aren't even what it's about at all, they're just to do numerical experiments with to have some examples. They aren't immediately useful for any applications outside niche research.

  • Because I'm in academia and it's a slow process to get things published in a way that 'counts' to the university and scientific community. I often need to implement stuff first to check a few things, whether it's viable etc.

  • Nobody has built a tool that executes a mathematical method that I have developed or at least adapted, at least not before I publish the method.

  • It's so old that it was for purposes of saving memory.

  • I'm not a coder, but my job requires a bunch of menial, boring coding. I do numerical simulations. After mathematically understanding the numerical method, it's basically half a step above data entry. There's also a bunch of legacy fortran code I have to build on that has zero documentation and three letter variables. This would be one of the few actually good applications of text generating machine learning imo.

  • It's not pretending to be anything, that's just the function you described: assembling words together.

  • Humans aren't trash, capitalists and, to a lesser, more temporary extent, those indoctrinated by them are.

  • My grandpa always leaves some of the veg he grows to bloom so he can take the seeds to plant in the next year. It's really interesting to watch them develop!

  • Agreed! But I don't really get what point you were trying to make in the first comment then?

  • That was exactly what I was talking about. Honey bees are just one very specific type of bees, and they're replacing the other ones.

  • Breeding a native species in unnatural numbers is also a way of that species outcompeting other native species and harming biodiversity
