Hey, if we play this right, we can get a constant named after us!
- Comment on TIL science has its own swifties 1 week ago:
Most aspects of our daily lives rely on Taylor series, polynomial expansion, and approximation theory in general. Everything built or planned using computer modeling software, down to the trig functions on your calculator… they all use polynomial approximations to allow a discrete mathematical machine to get us to within a certain error percentage of a continuous function in a timely manner.

Shit! You’re right! Guys… I uhh, I gotta go stop a satellite launch.

Probably my favorite approximation of pi. With four symbols, you have like 18 digits.

The idea is that the tiny black holes are planck scale and they evaporate before they get anywhere near each other. Picture this:
It takes 10^20 Planck lengths to equal the diameter of a proton. It takes 10^20 protons to equal the diameter of the earth. And it takes 10^20 earths to equal the diameter of the observable universe.

It’s a logarithmic scale based on Kelvin, but with constants shoved in there so 0 and 100 would agree with Celsius.
- Comment on Chirp in Fahrenheit 1 month ago:
There is a theoretical max temperature, the Planck Temperature ≈ 1.416 x 10^42 K. It’s the temperature at which the wavelength of emitted light is the Planck length.
Basically, a system at planck temperature probably would consist of many tiny black holes, and adding energy to said system would create a larger black hole, thereby lowering the temperature.

Also, anything that generates enough heat in the presence of bread is, in fact, a toaster.

It’s not the amount of energy converted that killed him, it was the abrupt change in the rate of conversion experienced at the media boundaries.

The funny thing about deepseek is that nvidia refused to export ptx code (or was prohibited by law, I’m not sure which) to china. So, china reverse engineered the hardware, and wrote a more efficient version of ptx for the deepseek model.
PTX is basically nvidia’s assembly language, btw.

“Scientific group” is not the applicable term. “natural group” or “monophyletic group” or “clade”, would be more… scientific

To approach from another angle…
Tensors are generalizations of scalars (that have no indices), vectors (that have exactly one index), and matrices (that have exactly two indices) to an arbitrary number of indices.

You are right about the subjectivity of the scale, though. The American Spice Trade Association has an objective test using high performance liquid chromatography. They have graciously provided the data to the public free of charge… just kidding you have to be member (starts at $2,500/yr).

In Scoville’s method, an exact weight of dried pepper is dissolved in alcohol to extract the heat components (capsinoids), then diluted in a solution of sugar water. Decreasing concentrations of the extracted capsinoids are given to a panel of five trained tasters, until a majority (at least three) can no longer detect the heat in a dilution. The heat level is based on this dilution, rated in multiples of 100 SHU.

Sweetness increases your tolerance for heat. The Scoville unit basically tells you how much sugar water it takes to mask the spiciness.

Wick it. Carefully touch the corner of a paper towel to the coffee, and let the coffee draw up into the paper towel. Repeat until the coffee is low enough for you to have a good chance at passing an agility check.

No, I can’t blame anyone for visiting harm on Nazis. But that is a temporary solution. If we are to nullify supremacist ideologies, we must eacape survival of the fittest world views. Any ideology that requires violence will be surpassed by the next strongest, including the ideology that kills Nazis and white supremacists.

You are right. If we exclude any population from rehabilitation, we join said population.
