I meant more as a "we knew it was possible just not WHY it was possible" kind of way, not "we didn't believe triangles make sense because it's not possible at all" kind of way.
I'm not a wordsmith either so I hope that makes sense...

You know, I'm still not "mathy"... But it made way more sense just reading the actual paper than it did reading summaries, explanations, or the article.
Neat!
So super simplistic paraphrasing, once you know the shape of the box, you can start mapping around it? Maybe?
I'm not a mathologist, so this reads to me like "they proved it is what it is because of the way it is. That's pretty neat!"
I can understand it's significant, but that's about it. From my understanding, this doesn't really change anything about math, it's just something we didn't think was possible being proven possible.
Please correct me, mathletes! Hilariously almost all my fields of interest require math... cries in physics
"It's called hentai and it's art, mom!"
I'm not a monkey that dances for coins, if you want to see art go to a museum.
I may have some lasting issues stemming from uncomfortable situations like this that have made me no longer care if people are put off by my reaction when I'm put on the spot. You want to see it? Ask me privately, and I'll show you one on one if you actually care.
No, I'm not bitter about things from my childhood, why do you ask...
I know SSDs need to be powered on occasionally due to how they store data, which is why (also due to cost lol) I have most of my stuff on HDDs, though I know those can have issues if you leave them out unprotected.
Not much more I can do without spending a lot more money than I have already. But so far I've never needed to get my second backup.
Which reminds me I need to re-backup the second drive...
The username is some of the worst bait I've seen lmao
I mean, I guess he gets a tiny fraction of that, since this won't ruin his company or him financially for the rest of his life if it doesn't work out, nor does he actually put in the work any further than a phone call that his assistant sets up. The rest is all done by various departments, all he does is wait for an email saying it's been recieved.
I only buy games on steam when they're like $5 or less.
I have less than $200 spent in total over the last 16/17 years on steam, and I don't see myself breaking the $5 limit.
I even pay GOG non sale prices if a steam sale jogs my memory of a game I want.
Sailing the high seas isn't feasible right now since I don't control the internet here and I'm not going to risk me not knowing something and landing the owner with potential legal trouble. But I will hopefully be dusting my hat off soon.
I need to get a couple more external drives and make at least one Faraday cage to keep one in.
All my installers are on a 1tb hdd that sits in my dresser. Made it a lot easier to put my games on my new laptop since they were installed before I even got to hooking it up to the internet.
Best comment explanation I've read yet as to why it's important!
Thanks!
