I'm TAing real analysis 1 this semester, and that course ought to give an answers to this. To name a few:

1. Every Cauchy-sequence converges, i.e. every sequence that ought to converge does so. This implies the existence of roots, pi, e, sine and cosine functions defined by series representations.

2. The real numbers are the only archimedean ordered field which satisfies point 1.

3. If f is a continuous function on the interval [0,1] with f(0) < 0, f(1) > 0, then f has a zero in [0,1]. "If a function which can be drawn in one stroke crosses the x-Axis, at has a zero at the intersection point".

As derivatives and integrals are typically defined using limits, having good results about the existence of limits is important theory wise.

That said, I guess you could built up most of analysis 1 around the concept of a computable number, restricting yourself to computable functions. But I'm not sure that would make the subject easier at all.
This is 5E's default strategy, but I don't think it works well - it means that the PCs becoming rich will remove, rather than add, gameplay. They won't spend any time thinking about paying for necessities of life, but there won't be much else to do with gold, nor any reason to go after it.

(It's sort of like the 5E Ranger. 5E has a bunch of wilderness survival rules, spells, etc. that can be used for campaign gameplay - but one Ranger in the party makes most of them irrelevant. The Ranger player will get personal satisfaction from using those abilities for a handful of minutes per campaign, then all of it will be forgotten.)

Funny enough, I was doing this just yesterday, on the same app mentioned. I remember seeing offline Wikipedia hardware devices about a decade ago and decided it would be handy to have while on a flight. It was actually quite surprising to see how big Wikipedia has since gotten.

The subdivisions the app provides isn't enough, or at least I was using it wrong. For example, trying to download the lighter versions of the Geography section only seems to offer combinations that ultimately leave you without much usable information (i.e Paris only providing the introduction text and not the content from the later sections) unless I go for the much larger size.
Very interesting that recipes are included since they can not be copyrighted. Anyone have an idea why this is needed?

Incels just think they understand animal behavior, evolution, good genes theory, sexual dimorphism, biology, etc etc.

What they don’t understand is that you have to min/max correctly and not min/min. Now they sit around whining at each other on the internet. They can’t get the hottest women - OK. Either can most of us. Boohoo
Anecdotally, as a 6’0” moderately-attractive dude in SF: I’ve laughed at the statistically unlikely number of founders/CEOs/upper management who are not only taller than me, but also are not subtle when they use their imposing height in conversation to get everyone else to just go along with whatever BS they are spouting. Bonus giggles if they are part of the hoard with thick hair and a square jaw.
Because what you're describing is coordinate or unit system dependent. I could invent a unit system where the mass of an electron is pi units, and another unit system where the mass of the electron is 1 unit. Me using a different unit system doesn't affect the physics of the system.
A lot of people talk about what a genius Carmack must have been to get those smooth animations in Commander Keen, especially considering that the EGA had a planar display wherein each byte represented one color plane for eight pixels, making placing of pixels at arbitrary locations hard. But the clever bit was in the smooth scrolling -- knowing which EGA registers to poke to get a particular horizontal offset and just-in-time fetching of tile data to fill in whatever scenery had just scrolled into view.

Getting smooth sprites on EGA? That was easy -- make four copies of each sprite image, one per two-pixel offset.

Do we really know for sure that GPT4 has not seen this problem already?
I don't think research math is that accessible! Granted theoretically it's possible to just read papers and do research--and possibly it's theoretically as accessible as possible. In practice people learn better with teachers and access to experts at the research level. If this pans out, we can commoditize access to experts (or even experts).
It's more of a coordination problem. Even if the web server could be persuaded to use port 0 (most will barf at this), I now have to find out what port was assigned by the kernel and communicate that to the test client. Unix domain sockets just make this whole problem go away.

Also running out of ports is a thing! There are only 64K ports (with many not being usable) and a CI machine might be running many tests in parallel. Unix domain sockets give me an infinite space of ports, since they use filenames.
I had the same feeling I imagine...when I paid $2.00 to download the entirety of the Laserdisk game Dragon's Lair onto my iPhone (3gs? 4s?)

Not quite. I’m describing a system with discrete structure that gives rise to macro level complex system in the same way the game of life can implement arbitrary computation.

I suspect it’s the lamppost effect: the data was here, so they used that rather than a more relevant observation that would have cost a lot more money.

As it’s a health-related database, I suspect it’s a photo taken to control for acne, but that’s just speculation.

But definitely agree that it’s probably skewing the results a lot.
Particles don't have infinite precision. Position and momentum precision is limited by Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Weight precision is also limited because energy is quantized.

That, however, doesn't mean that spacetime is not a continuum.
I think you're engaging in a bit of humor, here, but Trump was born at the top of the socioeconomic ladder. There's nowhere for him to go but down. I don't think this study applies to people like him.

A (tiny) AI model can not cite sources, it can only hallucinate citations. A (tiny) AI model can not create a representation of knowledge or truths based on sources it knows. It can not provide any truths except by random chance.

Wipe all systems and restore from backups - what's the problem?
Some have given it a lot of thought, but not nearly as many as I would have expected. Despite such questions being philosophical in nature it seems to mostly be mathematical physicists and applied mathematicians who spend time on it. Pure mathematicians mostly don’t care; they’re not interested in existence or ‘reality’ — if there’s complexity in an idea it’s worth studying whether it has anything to say about models of the universe or not.

I guess what I’m trying to say is just that I’ve always been surprised by the lack of interest most pure mathematicians show towards questions of ‘what exists’ or ‘what the purpose of mathematics is’ and so on. I would have expected such (clearly) intellectually curious people to be less myopic.

Because the world is a big place, one can find countless essays on these sorts of topics. But it’s still a minority sport. John Baez is a brilliant outlier in many ways.

It's true, but on a CI machine you may have other tests running in parallel. Even perhaps tests being run by other users/tenants.

I wish there was a serious study of Dunning-Kruger effect in Silicon Valley.
I'm not certain, but I think the only fundamental thing contributing to a black size is energy density[0], mass only contributes because it has an energy density (that's what E=mc^2 is), and information because it has to be carried by stuff which itself has a minimum energy per bit.

If so, no: if any particle were to need infinite precision to be described, that would just mean we were wrong about maximum information density within a minimum boundary surface.

One of the biggest mistakes people make thinking the simulation theory is the idea that the "host universe" resembles anything like ours or has any of the limitations that our universe has.

It doesn't.
But the particles can move around, they won't always be exactly on values of pi, 1, etc... in any coordinate system. And pi and 1 happen to be examples that can be described with a finite amount of symbols. But a continuous particle has to move through any value in between.

> For example: how many real numbers are there? The continuum
hypothesis proposes a conservative answer, but since this is independent of the
usual axioms of set theory, the question remains open: there could be vastly
more real numbers than most people think.

If don't agree with that. There are exactly as many real numbers as there are inifnite sequences consisting of zeroes and on (0,0,1,0,1,...). That is the same as the set of subsets of the natural numbers. That is well-defined. The continuum hypothesis asks if there are infinities smaller than this one, but bigger than the infinity of the natural numbers.
Game developers getting creative due to hardware limitations is a topic I will never grow sick of. Historical gamedev journalism has grown much in recent years, with outlets like NoClip (https://www.noclip.video/) producing phenomenal content.

Also Fabien Sanglard's Game Engine Black Books (https://fabiensanglard.net/gebb/) are fascinating reads. Both Doom and Wolfenstein 3D sit on my living room coffee table.

"Warner Bros didn't think that ticket sales / streaming revenue would recoup the losses they'd incur by paying for marketing, distribution, rights negotiation, and all the other costs they're saving by stopping the project here."
The primary purpose of backup systems has always been to protect against data loss caused by failing/lost hardware or by accidentally deleting/overwriting data.

Overwrites and deletes should largely be covered by versioning and soft deletes.

Data loss caused by failing or lost hardware should be covered by a business relationship with a data storage service provider.

This service provider role is what's new and different when we're talking about cloud storage. And this is why I reject a direct comparison with traditional backup systems.

Yes you're right, the data should have been backed up to protect against data loss. But why is it the user's job to do that rather than Google's?

I think users should be able to have a reasonable expectation that their backup needs are covered by using a cloud storage service with versioning and soft deletes.

The fact that this expectation isn't met borders on false advertising.
This is honestly very low on the list of things I dislike about Microsoft GitHub. git clone + rg still works fine anyways.

I couldn't get GPT4 to do either 2 or 3 even with hints. It's surprising that either due to context length or something else I feel like its reasoning abilities are worse when you try to guide it. But maybe this is true for humans too.

I have the "non-usb-version" (i think it has some other differences as well) of it (NT1A) and that is a very good price/quality ratio, imho.
Doesn't sound like a Telefunken but still very usable: it doesn't pick up much else than it should, the SNR is very high and the input sensitivity is quite linear and straight. Very happy with that one. The accessories are quite high quality, too and the pricetag of 180 EUR is quite acceptable.

In a perfect simulation with no outside influence, there's no distinction between "real" and "simulated" - the simulated world is real, and the outside world is not observable (effectively doesn't exist).

So unless the "entity" doing the simulation interferes with it in some way, it simply doesn't matter.
Are there real people on Reddit on anymore? I’m not sure how the hell they’re going to IPO. The app is horrible and the users are too.
You could... But writing and deploying a diffing tool for every different gsuite application is probably 6 months of work for a whole team... There are so many corner cases.

What will the users do for 6 months waiting for their data to return?
I would be cautious about confirmation bias here. Why is a random paper published in a low tier journal getting any attention? Is it especially well written? Is the data especially novel? No. This is an old data set, and a quick Google reveals multiple papers that use the attractiveness data from the AddHealth study with titles like "Gender and the returns to attractiveness" and "Physical attractiveness and the accumulation of social and human capital in adolescence and young adulthood: assets and distractions."

I'm not qualified enough to say whether this paper or good or bad, but I do think that this is a prime example of "clickbait social science" where papers that confirm people's existing prejudices, regardless of quality, suddenly get a lot of attention. The conclusions may or may not be correct, but I don't think this one paper is really slam dunk in either direction.
Encumbrance record keeping was annoying pre-PCs but did any well known RPGs ever implement the D&D encumbrance system and thus steer players to carry lighter weight currencies (gems etc)?

Or was it too annoying even with the record keeping automated?
My intuition is that reserve causality is playing a huge role in these numbers which is acknowledged by the authors:

"Why physical attractiveness should matter for intergenerational social mobility is an underexplored research question. Theoretical links between the two are complex, and the possibility of reverse causation cannot be ruled out. Prosperous economic conditions likely allow individuals to improve and maintain their physical attractiveness by investing in relevant services (e.g., quality hairdresser, gym membership, and plastic surgery) and goods (e.g., fashionable clothes and effective cosmetics)."

Cannot be ruled out strikes me as an understatement. I'm not sure what the exact design of the interview was, but even factors like how well-spoken someone is could have a strong influence on perceived physical attractiveness despite being heavily confounded by factors like education and socioeconomic status, which I think challenges the notion of physical attractiveness, as least as it was assessed here, being a truly independent predictor. I also don't think that this study serves as incontrovertible proof in support of the defeatist winging about how purely genetic factors affecting appearance have completely and unfairly hamstrung ugly people. A study that supported that notion wouldn't use an interview, it would just use a picture of people's faces from a standardized lighting and angle which would then be rated and correlated with these other variables.
I run a small website that tracks releases of a software, it probes releases every few hours, with each run consuming a several hundreds of API requests.
GitHub API token limits are pretty generous. There is no paid offerings to increase the limits, so I suppose if you ask GitHub nicely, they will increase the limits given a reasonable justification.
A useful tip, thank you, but I think it will ask you to authenticate which is the OP's main gripe.

EDIT: No, I was wrong, you can search it without authentication.
I don't think you need the blockchain to post a verifiable, cryptographically signed proof of any theorem. A simple email is good enough for that.

Blockchains are append-only databases, sometimes (usually?) with 'slow' thrown in somewhere.
social mobility upwards or downwards?

Assuming it's upwards, how are the many very successful asians explained by this study, considering that they are usually evaluated as less attractive
Yeah I noticed that, too. What was the makeup of the Add Health interviewers? Might that heavily bias how people are rated in terms of attractiveness?
Exposing plants to Ethylene may bolster their growth and help feed the world
There are also other factors. Attractiveness not only depends on physiognomy but also skincare, hygiene, dress and even medical interventions (e.g. orthodontics) which are often tied to wealth and especially childhood wealth. Childhood eating disorders and childhood obesity/malnutrition for example are hard to overcome as an adult and more common in poorer families. So attractiveness already is in part an indicator of wealth (at least on aggregate if not for every individual).

It's well-known and widely established that coming from wealth makes it easier to get with "gentlemen crimes" (e.g. being caught drinking underage or using illegal drugs is more likely to result in confiscation and a stern warning or "slap on the wrist" if the police officer knows you're from a wealthy family, other biases aside) as well as sexual assault.

So the difference between the two can simply be that the "handsome" guy in a suit is just more likely to "get away with it" because it's riskier to confront or report him compared to the "ugly" guy who is likely on a lower rung of the social hierarchy.

According to NCMEC Apple does not do any proactive scanning of photos.

> Last year, while Meta’s Facebook and Instagram submitted a combined 26 million reports, Google 2 million, and TikTok nearly 300,000, Apple submitted 234. The year before that: 160.

> Apple isn’t a social media company, so this is hardly a direct comparison. That said, WhatsApp, which is end-to-end encrypted, scans unencrypted content such as profile and group photos for CSAM. It provided over 1 million cybertips to NCMEC in 2022; Microsoft sent in 110,000; Dropbox, nearly 46,000; and Synchronoss, the cloud storage provider for Verizon, over 30,000.
