Talk:Local search (optimization)

message: Silvery has suggested to change the name of this article into something like Local search (algorithmic technique) or similar to avoid the possible ambiguity with the sense "optimization of local search on the web".  While I do not like much the idea that articles on well-established research concepts must take a name or another depending on a newer but more polular concept, I understand that that the new name will be less ambigous. Therefore, I do not oppose to the name change. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 23:47, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed "approximately" from the line "Examples of problems that can be approximately solved by local search are:".  I think it is ment to indicate that local search is sometimes used to find "nearly optimal" solutions but this is not always the case.  For boolean satisfiability and TSP it can be used to solve the problem.  I'm not sure about vertex covereing but I can find out.  The difficulty arises from the fact that local search is used for both optimization and satisfiability.  If someone can suggest a better fix, or would like to see a more detailed article, I would be happy to help. Sharp Tac 13:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest: "Some examples problems where local search [has] [can be] been applied are". This should cover both the case of finding a maximal solution or that to find a solution that is defined as a maximal data satisfying a given property. Tizio 15:34, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Older women 

message: Let me start of by trying to preempt some personal attacks. I know that's not as necessary on Wikipedia as it is on other parts of the internet, but I'm going to do it anyway. I'm not transage. I'm not transgender either. I don't particularly care whether transageism is valid or real or whatever. Thinking that transageism is as "real" (whatever that means) as transgenderism is a very unpopular opinion. If I had an opinion one way or the other, than I guess I'd probably go with whatever the popular opinion is, which in this case would be transgenderism is valid and transageism is not valid or it's a mental disorder or something. I don't care. I'm just trying to fix some unsourced editing which may or may not have been done for the purpose of activism.
Here's what I saw, and here's what I changed.
When I read this page, it said "the concept is falsely modelled on transgenderism". This seemed like suspicious wording to me, and what I found in the logs confirmed my suspicion. It used to say "the concept is modelled on transgenderism". An IP poster with no other edits added the word falsely. I'm not going to speculate on why they did this, but I think most of you probably have a guess. I doubt the word falsely is in the source. To me, saying that it's "falsely modelled on transgenderism" doesn't even make sense. I've never heard of anything being falsely modelled on something else before. Just because A is modelled on B doesn't mean that B's validity also applies to A. I think I know what the IP poster meant. But it's an unsourced claim. If someone thinks it's important enough to add to the article that transageism isn't considered to be valid in the way that transgender is valid, then... do the legwork, find your sources, and campaign for that section to be added. I'm taking out the word falsely.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benevolent Prawn (talk • contribs) 06:23, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Rigolets

message: I find the use of the term "strait" in relation to the Rigolets to be interesting.  Although definitions vary, I think of a strait as being a relatively shallow passage between two deeper, larger bodies of water.  A pass, on the other hand, can be a deep-water passage between two relatively shallow bodies.  This is the case with the Rigolets, a prehistoric Mississippi River channel now connecting shallow Lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne.  At one point in the 1980s the NOAA chartmakers considered labelling the Rigolets as "Rigolets Pass."

Relevant sources include the U.S. Board on Geographic Names which designated "The Rigolets" as the primary name among variants in 1975; the Lake Pontchartrain article in Britannica; and this and other nautical charts which are labelled "The Rigolets" when other bodies of water are not labelled as, for instance, "The Mississippi River."

message: In the unbased case, the left adjoint to the loop functor is given by ordinary product with the circle (since the unbased loop functor is by definition the mapping space of maps from the circle).

thread_title:  adjointness to suspension 

message: Saibot2 is right, the free loop functor (I think that's a more common name than unbased loop, but less descriptive) is right adjoint to the cartesian product. I also think that ΩX is a notation used only for the based loop space; the free loops are usually denoted L(X) or \mathcal{L}(X). But maybe the usage outside of topology differs. -- Tilmanbauer (talk) 19:25, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Isn't this the very reason for tonsuring him, instead of simply shutting him away?
