Yup it seems crazy to me how deep insights one needs to have to be able to, say, connect the dots between compression and machine learning. And now it looks to me like he has done a lot of the foundational work in these fields. Super cool stuff

Too lazy to check, but is this the Rivest from the RSA algorithm?

Since you're seeking for answers within physics buzzwords, you're missing a lot of nuance which is causing you to come up with nonsensical theories. For one, the wavefunction doesn't exist 'in' the particle, it is the particle. A wavefunction collapsing is what causes a particle to show up in a specific location (going by the most prominent interpretation of the wavefunction); as long as the wavefunction is non-zero at more than one location, the particle exists in all those locations.

Equipped with this knowledge, phrases like "a wavefunction collapsing in such a way that it absorbs light" or "change the composition of atoms" make no sense, so I'd suggest you to rethink your assumptions, and, if possible, not look at quantum mechanics as a magic black box that can explain everything a mind can conjure up.

As someone who is often unable to even enjoy soda because it immediately starts bubbling up and only remains as a sugary liquid by the time it reaches the esophagus, I guess I can't replicate your observations. Also, I guess I need more water in my mouth before I can let Jesus into it (for a more pleasant experience for both of us)

If only it worked; the mentos would start disintegrating by your saliva and the coke would already form bubbles as soon as it enters your mouth thanks to the rough surface inside 🤓

That won't work tho, you need to make it sys.maxsize//2 to coerce the output into int form

I bought mine through them, it's very slightly more expensive (less expensive than I'd consider a dealbreaker), but I don't see anything that'd make it worse than other registrars. At the same time, I'm not very familiar with how other domain registrars work, so I'm probably not the best person to give a review

That may be exactly what I need when searching for some highly technical problem lol

Huh I didn't notice that. That does sound a bit weird :/

 

This is not an ad BTW, I literally stumbled upon it a few minutes ago. From what I can gather, however, this is a [DIY-ish] search engine that solely searches on text (no other forms of media, such as, ... idk hypertext maybe), which allows users to have more control over queries (like including and excluding terms). I suppose this would prune out most of the modern websites, but I guess some of y'all would prefer that option anyway. Has anyone else tried it out? I'm genuinely curious about more opinions on this

Indeed, an integer is divisible by 3 if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

For proof, take the polynomial representation of an integer n = a_0 * 10^k + a_1 * 10^{k-1} + ... + a_k * 1. Note that 10 mod 3 = 1, which means that 10^i mod 3 = (10 mod 3)^i = 1. This makes all powers of 10 = 1 and you're left with n = a_0 + a_1 + ... + a_k. Thus, n is divisible by 3 iff a_0 + a_1 + ... + a_k is. Also note that iff answers your question then; all multiples of 3 have to, by definition, have digits whose sum is a multiple of 3

I tried it once a few years ago and it seemed to work fine enough for me. I can't say how exactly it works now, but there is (or at least used to be) a free plan with limited functionality, so I figured it might be interesting to you

I've been following this community for some time in order to learn about self-hosting and, while I have learnt about a bunch of cool web services to host, I'm still lost on where/how to start. Does anyone have, like, a very beginner guide that is not just "install this distro and click these buttons"? I have an old laptop that runs Arch (btw), but I'm not familiar with networking at all. So anything starting from "you can check your IP address using ip a" would be appreciated.

More specifically, I have a domain that I want to point to an old laptop of mine (I intend to switch to a VPS if/when I feel like the laptop is starting to lose it). How do I expose my laptop to the internet for this to work (ideally without touching my router, because I'll be traveling quite a bit with my laptop and don't mind the occasional downtime). I assume that once I'm able to type my domain name on my mobile and see it open anything from my laptop, I can then setup all the services I want via nginx, but that's step 2. I tried to follow a few online guides but, like I mentioned, they're either too simplistic (no I don't want to move to Ubuntu Server just for this) or too complex (no I don't know how DHCP works).

Thanks in advance

 

I only saw the app once while scrolling around on f-droid; tried it but it seemed too empty to be useful. The only place I've since seen it even being mentioned is this post, but that's also not specifically about the app. I'm genuinely curious about what exactly the point is of GNU/Jami. Is it just a p2p version of calling and messaging?
