  • In my experience, as a soon to be mathematics graduate, you really have to research what texts are worth investing in.

    As someone who can't focus on pdfs, I buy physical copies of texts. It's a pain to work out what books are worth getting.

    Springer has some banger publications. But it also has so pretty shit ones. In my experience, most publishers are like that. I'll never feel bad for pirating a book first to see if it's worth getting.

    Fucking paying a week's wage or more for slop - AI or otherwise.

  • A test of your reflexes!

  • I have a golden crocker spaniel that I named Eevee. Best name.

  • I disagree in part with this logic.

    Gödel's incompleteness theorem says that a system typically cannot prove all truths that come from axioms of the system, like you said.

    Where I disagree is how this is applied to theoretical physics. Depending on where you draw the line of "everything", the limits of proof comes down to two things: observation and the language we use to describe it.

    As it stands, for example, gravity is difficult to fit into the standard model. It may be impossible to do so within that system. However, it may work well in an alternate description of the universe. In this case, the core mathematics is the same, but the theories differ. It may be likely that our understanding of the universe is filled with logical holes and fallacy, but that does not mean that the incompleteness theorem says anything regarding the ability to unify physics.

    Mathematically, physics is nothing more than descriptions of observation and expectations. It could very well be that our perception of the universe is fundamentally flawed and, in essence, we can only perceive certain truths that appear correct in our perspective. As such, it isn't necessarily impossible to formulate a correct theory; it's just that we are unable to succinctly describe reality.

    More simply, math is just the thing we use to describe the universe. So, it's likely we can keep "adding new math" as we discover new physics. The hard part is understanding the physical nature of the universe, first.

    Or perhaps the universe truly cannot be described all at one, such that everything is related. As a mathematician, I like to believe that we simply lack the ability to perceive the full reality of, well, "reality". And as such, we are missing important information that would tie all the loose ends together.

  • I think the simplest suggestion would be a discord server (or similar. I'm not familiar with open source alternatives). You can set up channels for people looking for games, roles for people who want to be pinged about games, etc.

    It comes with some drawbacks, like needing to maintain and moderate the server. But if it's only advertised locally, I don't see why it wouldn't work out.

  • One of my knobs broke and to this day, I can't work out how to replace it. Where do you even buy them from??? 🙃

  • I call this piece, "the sound of music defenestration"

  • Only for separable equations

  • The thing that annoys me most is that there have been studies done on LLMs where, when trained on subsets of output, it produces increasingly noisier output.

    Sources (unordered):

    Whatever nonsense Muskrat is spewing, it is factually incorrect. He won't be able to successfully retrain any model on generated content. At least, not an LLM if he wants a successful product. If anything, he will be producing a model that is heavily trained on censored datasets.

  • checks notes yes

  • I'm an Australian. We have a similar phrase with the same translation. In our language, we say: "cunts fucked"

  • I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty

  • That's so gay

  • Why the fuck was this the comment that got me

  • I hate BNPY so much... I deleted my after pay account, which means I can no long use their services unless I get in contact with support to reopen my account. I did it to explicitly make it near impossible for me to be tempted. It worked. There were times I felt regret, but it was 100% the smartest move.

    Then, PayPal introduced pay in 4... All my hard work went right down the drain. I can't afford this shit but fuck it's hard when you're clinically depressed.

  • For the most part, you can over generalise by saying it causes me to obsess/hyper focus on these topics.
