    I’m 100% not joking, I once was stuck the the proof of a theorem for a whole week going at it and still wasn’t able to prove it… until I dreamed of the solution, woke up at like 3 am, quickly wrote a skecth of my dream’s proof and went back to sleep. The following morning I checked that path and boom, there it finally was the solution.

    Weirdly enough, this happened twice, although that second time I didn’t woke up at 3 am, just in the following morning as usual.

      I read somewhere that Mick Jagger (or maybe it was Keith Richard) wrote the riff of Satisfaction in his sleep.

      He woke up, grabbed a tape recorder and went “Bum bum. Bumbumbuummm bumbumbum.” And sang the one line “I, can’t, get noo, sat-tis-fac-tion.” And then went back to sleep.

      Forgot about it the next morning till they were at band practice and someone found the tape and played it.

        I too have written down riffs from my dreams. Also I am not a famous rock star.

        Draw your own conclusions.

        Or you take one and bite into it, but the pineapples are actually her children. So you now have this bloody pineapple and the pineapple woman screaming at you in despair, and you regret your awful actions.

      What happened to PugJesus?

      source
      • luciferofastora@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        He’d been unhappy with some stuff the Lemmy devs do for a while, but when kbin shut down, he moved to lemmy, and when piefed seemed like a reasonable alternative moved his accounts and communities to piefed.social.

        Then rimu decided that a handful of most active users with hundreds or thousands of upvotes per day shouldn’t get to have such an impact, so he installed a daily cap for how many votes per user per day are counted, discarding the rest. Essentially, this limits engagement in an attempt to “even out” its distribution by cutting off the top. It’s an opt-out feature for other piefed instances, but on his own (piefed.social), he obviously activated it.

        PugJesus, being one of those most active users, was quite upset with the prospect of having to ration his upvotes. By his own description, he’d easily fill out much of that cap just upvoting all the good-faith replies on his posts, let alone if he were to also engage in discussion elsewhere and equally use upvotes there to encourage good-faith conversation. It evidently caused anxiety and soured his experience.

        Even if he were to use an account from a different instance, that restriction still affects the communities. Having migrated three times already (idk what the third one was, but given how much effort even one move for a whole community can be…), PJ was tired of it and didn’t wanna migrate again. So he did what rimu wanted:

        Stop engaging.

        (He’s around, occasionally, but not nearly as active, nor does he post as much. Can’t blame him. Sure isn’t helping that there’s a certain subset of people that hate him for various reasons. He’d probably respond if I summoned him, but I’m not sure I want to drag him back to that topic and make him feel like he has to comment.)

        PieFed did some policy change on… weighting votes for people who vote thousands of times a day, or something like that? PJ said that made him want to change instance again, but he’d done that a few times already and couldn’t be bothered with the process again. (this is from memory, i haven’t double checked while writing)

      It’s not an operation. OP is working with a field where {√, 2} is a subset of that field’s elements.

      If you ever do have a dream, write down everything that happened as soon as you wake up. Your ability to “have dreams” and remember them is like a muscle that can be exercised. To exercise it, you have to write them down so they cannot be forgotten.

        Yeah I’ve had similar experiences, not with the meaning of life but thinking I solved some technical thing, but no memory of the solution. But I remember feeling great about having figured it out, which is what I think we actually dream about.

      The meaning is complex, but the themes are clear:

      Chai + Psi + Delta9

      Tea, Psychic powers, and the Delta-quadrant / Deep Space Nine: Obvious Star Trek (Voyager/DS9) reference.

      (39 sigma nu) Pi 3

      Miku (Japanese: “3” “9”) is a new singer with Sigma tendencies and released a pie 3 years ago

      nu sigma kappa percent divide times epsilon delta 83

      This new japanese sigma character uses their money (“cent”) to polarize (“divide”) the press (“times”) by using Delta flight 83 (Paris <-> Atlanta)

      Putting it together

      Miku Hatsune released a pie 3 years ago, which was critically acclaimed and condemned after they were caught watching Star Trek on a Delta airlines flight to Paris from Atlanta.
