- Comment on "Theory" of Evolution (SMBC) 2 weeks ago:
Come on now. We all know that evolution is the expination to gravity! Look, all things that does not fall down, fall into space and die, hence only the things falling down to earth can live on and reproduce! Gravity is an emergent propery of evolution! Duh!

I got a citation from a group once, in a footnote, which was just basically “we think the conclusions of [32] are wrong, but we will not comment on why”. 1., its because your conclusions were in conflict with ours, and 2. Well, OK then, I’ll do better in the future will all the constructive critisism you are providing!

I’m trying to install a gentoo prefix on my aarch64 mac right now. Seeing this gives me hope that I may figure it out (although I have some 3 build failures so far).

Oh, maybe thats where I’m getting it from then. I know other swedes who have reacted that way to hearing an italian answering the phone.
- Comment on Edison 4 weeks ago:
Is it just to swedes “pronto” sounds like it would mean “hurry up”? Or is that everyone?
- Comment on Mathematicians 4 weeks ago:
Depends on what you mean by marginal. String theory is still by far the largest research direction in the quantum gravity subject.
- Comment on Big Science 5 weeks ago:
There are several problems here. One being you cannot train every nurse or everyone self-adminestering the medicin to be a professional in it. Which was the hidden assumption made in the course. So “test it exactly like that” does not really work.

In my ethics course during the phd program, I was told this was actually a good thing. Their example was pharma companies know how to use their drugs better so they get better results, more true results. If that was true, it’s unfortunate it’s not the pharma company that also handles treatments then. That course also said that software patents does not exist as a concept.

- Comment on With public key cryptography, why can't someone decrypt a message using the public key? 2 months ago:
No, it can be very important. As I answered in another comment, its called padding en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padding_(cryptography). And to see that it is imortant say you encrypt your easy to remember password in an encrypted file. Now if your attack was possible, having your public key, you could just generate the passwords and encrypt them to figure out your password. Much easier than trying to find your key. Using forms of padding, that does not work.
- Comment on With public key cryptography, why can't someone decrypt a message using the public key? 2 months ago:
Well, you use “padding” to solve those things. Like if you type “hello”, your implementation of the whole algorithm should do something like: take the string, add some random string that is tagged in some way, and then encrypt. At decryption, you get a string with some random stuff in it, but you filter the tag and return only the message. Like “hello” -> “[trash]kfkidkeb[/trash] hello”, add and remove the “[trash]” block, before encryption and after decryption, respectively

- Comment on I'll take a more innocent name for my research like the NMR people who created the Proton Enhanced Nuclear Induction Spectroscopy 2 months ago:
NMR is also not a great abriviation for a Swedish person, Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen (nordic resistance movement) and is a neo-nazi cult-like organization.

- Comment on Grandpa don't know shit 3 months ago:
Depends on what you mean by “real”. As in " corresponds to physical reality", no. As in “a real model which people are researching”, yes.

- Comment on 1.1 History 6 months ago:
I think we got the fast stuff we got under control (special relativity), when you mix it it with like small stuff (quantum field theory), and I guess big stuff (general relativity), it is also OK, but mixing it with anything more than that causes a problem.
