Wait till you read russian novels, where everyone’s got 3 names and 2 official nickname everyone is expected to know…

Or to any woung people from 2000 onwards. To them, specifically white socks with slip-in sandals is a perfectly good choice of footwear!

It’s the logo of the Matlab software.
- Comment on Just Terrible 4 weeks ago:
Group A starts indexing at 1. Group B at 0.
To me, the second layer of the joke is that the choice of starting number is significant enough that the author considers it to be two distinct personalities!

Yeah, otherwise they think themselves human and want a seat at the table.

It’s like democracy is the least bad system…
A well crafted political system is one that stays uncorrupted the longest (or can recover less violently from corruption).

Well… This is jazz… I’m skeptic as well, but what if it was some sort of experimental modern jazz where the musicians would try to predict the next click?

Don’t look at bone meal (in the same section of the store)

The house and pole line would fit in Quebec backcountry place or the maritimes, but the rock walls and the mountains don’t fit as well.

Yeah, I meant to say that the incompleteness theorem proves that math cannot be perfectly pure and fundamental. I don’t exactly care which field claims it, because I don’t like to encourage artificial boundaries between disciplines. It’s nice to use information theory results in physics :)

I was about to say “incompleteness theorem”!

Ultimate vehicle.

They also rent board games. It great for mystery games like Unlock that you can only play once or twice.

Yeah but then like that person said, they will disassemble the trolley in a weird way and put back together two trolleys, one on each track.

My MATLAB colleagues were jealous of my Matplotlib because the company didn’t purchase the plotting add-on…

Bring this rock close to this other rock, and voilà. It creates magic heat!
Don’t get too close, because it will curse you to an agonizing death years later. However you can use this to boil water and channel the power of thunderstorms.
- Comment on Food Pyramid of the Future 5 months ago:
I’d like to see the triangle grow two additional sides, becoming a 3-sided pyramid. Then, a fourth pops up, turning into a typical 4 sided one. But then, a fifth appears, then a sixth, then more and more untill it becomes a food cone
Then it flips over and gets filled with ice cream. There, the perfect food pyramid!

Entropy and complexity are not quite the same thing.
Low entropy is every Lego pieces separated by color and size, high entropy is every Lego pieces mixed up together evenly. Complex creations correspond to medium entropy.
If you compute actions of living beings, you’ll realize it acts as a catalyst to increase entropy.

I have old college textbooks in my library, Cohen-Tannoudji. I’m not sure about online resources though…
- Comment on Electrons 5 months ago:
That sounds super interesting!
It is! Although it only deals with the day-to-day working of electromagnetism (quantum electrodynamics), but this explains the working of everything in our current life apart from nuclear power station and fusion in the sun’s core.
The text was written before we developed the model for nuclear forces (strong and weak), so it doesn’t touch that subject. We know now that sound and weak interactions work in a very similar way to QED, with extension for notre charges.
- Comment on Electrons 5 months ago:
True! Thanks for the clarification, it’s been a while since i played with the maths of quantum physics!
After you measure a spin as 100% up, the state will be close to that for a while, si the next measurement has higher chance of being up, with this probability slowly decreasing with time.
- Comment on Electrons 5 months ago:
Some properties of the electron are not present in photons, such as the lepton number and the electric charge.
It’s possible to create an electron positron pair out of a couple of high energy photons, but that is also true with many other elementary particles.
For a good intuitive introduction to this topic, i suggest Feynman’s book QED www.amazon.ca/…/0691164096/
It’s a short read, and explains how positrons can be seen as electrons going backwards in time!
