I think that's the conflation - Jews in Israel and Jews in New York state fall into the set Jews. However the right wing supporters of Netenyahu's government are but a subset of the former.

A better comparison would be that the number of Jews in New York state was once close to the number of peaceful Palestinians and peaceful Israelis; meanwhile, the number of hardline genocidal Israelis was roughly equal to the number of Hamas terrorists. Those sets seem a better match, as they share more core categorical features.

Yup, most people of the Jewish faith are not the state of Israel. Much as most people of the Islamic faith are not terrorists. People mostly just want to lead comfortable lives.

It's a great case of A->B being misunderstood as A<->B to justify incredible shittiness.

I do sometimes wonder if I should write a paper full of examples suggesting that this really simple misunderstanding of logic is what drives the enshittification of humanity ^_

Pretty much - most of us (scholars being a synonym for academics, a set I do belong to [lectureship in mathematics and statistics]) agree that bombing the homes of people into rubble and striking the camps they flee to is an intentional attempt to erase a cultural group.

Surprised Pikachu is much surprised.

Academic here - it's 100% genocide. More so, it's the worst kind of genocide, it's sanctioned genocide built upon conflating a people with their government.

School toilets are about to become even more traumatic when gen alpha starts teaching.

At least I just have random nyan cat bullet points in my slides, with a lot of random loss thrown in.

Counteroffer - spend that $30 on a drink and turn them down. Just keep on using windows 10 and clog up their support tickets ^_

Almost:

Lengths are usually reals, and in this case the diagram suggests we can assume that A is the origin wlog (and the sides are badly drawn vectors without a direction)

Next we convert the vectors into lengths using the abs function (root of conjugate multiplication). This gives us lengths of 1 for both.

Finally, we can just use a Euclidean metric to get our other length √2.

Squaring isn't multiplication by complex conjugate, that's just mapping a vector to a scalar (the complex | x | function).

I dunno about science, but truth is proof. That just infers that science is various forms of proof, and I'm ok with that as it lets our notion of proof evolve as we do ^_

Hits buzzer

The big windows 10 problem is that it updates to windows 11.

I'm richer than I've ever been, and I am far less spontaneous than I've ever been.

It's not linear, it's some weird polynomial equation!

Might be worth spinning up an external 1080ti on the lappy and see if the magic is finally there!

I'm not entirely sold - a lot of the time when troubleshooting games for my Ubuntu lappy I stumble across Nvidia issue threads.

The question isn't really "ads or subs" these days, it's "your data or your dollar", and in this situation there is no good option (since your dollar is the perfect identifier for your data!).

Academia would like a word.

I need to put a vote in here for owlbears and owlcats, if only because of how excited they make my partner when encountered.

Prays that 2025 is the year for solid NVIDIA support for Linux

Can someone direct me to a place called "Sweet Water', I have a package to deliver from an "A.Ironfist".

I was thinking more a binomial proportion test with the available data ;)

Also, yep, "assuming" was a key part of the statement!

Assuming X~B(20,0.5), that gives us a p-value of...

Time to reject H0!
