  • My teacher had a good comparison for this: observing macroscoping reality like we do microscopic reality would be like throwing a car at another car to measure its speed or position. Obviously you alter the course of events this way.

    Fortunately light doesn't do much in the macroscopic world, so we can use it to observe stuff.

  • What I mean is that repeatability can be achieved in other, simpler ways. Like a package for example.

    I feel like as technologies, ansible and docker have been spread beyond their relevant scope of usefulness. But maybe that's me.

    I feel like ansible is a complex way of doing simple things.

  • You see, that's why it should be tought. Because even you who have some culture don't understand the question.

    Seriously though, why would you want children to not learn something at school? That's some next level weaponized ignorance there.

  • Politics is not science. A political decision does not rely on facts, it's a moral decision or a jump into the unknown, or it is a arbitration, a choice to make on allocating resources or choosing a path for society.

    Now there is a lot of lies and wrongs they're saying, and it is a problem. But this is a problem with accountability and information. Media are a big problem. Political accountability and responsability is a big question and a difficult problem to solve. Science methods and knowledge can help, but they are not applicable for most of these problems.

  • In non UK Europe most combat ships are frigates. We don't use the destroyer or cruiser categories. This is different in the US and UK navies apparently.

    From Wikipedia : only the US and Russian navies have cruisers nowadays.

  • In the beginning of the 20th century and between the two world wars, during the era of the dreadnoughts and battleships, there was an arm race. So the various powers agreed on a number of battleships to limit the arm race. The definition was made with displacement, because at the time battleships were meant to carry the biggest possible guns, so displacement was kind of proportional. To get around this, they designed battlecruisers. Basically a battleship but with a displacement low enough that it was not limited by treaties.

  • Honestly, if such incompetent developers weren't as arrogant as to argue how their bullshit is the right way to go, I would agree with you. But instead their bullshit philosophy is the expected way to work in many places, and it's the cancer of computer development, so the anger is deserved IMO.

  • Not really sure about it, but as I understand it, affine geometry can be translated as linear geometry. Think euclid geometry in a 2d plane. In this black hole, I think it means that a particule behind the event horizon will go straight to the center. So every trajectory behind the hoziron is a line that goes to the center, and this center is the singularity.

  • It's not that maths and physics aren't developed enough, it's that we don't know. General relativity is not wrong, at best it is inaccurate, and we have no way to prove it yet.

    It's like newton's gravity : it's not wrong, it's inaccurate outside of some conditions.

  • Yes, but Russia is also supported by Iran and China. And there's no sign of political collapse in Russia.

    I'm not saying Russia is winning. It would take them a millenia to conquer Ukraine at this pace. But I think currently they are only buying time to wait for US election. After that, and depending on whether a breakthrough happen or not before that, peace talk may happen, or not. Time will tell.

  • It's mostly a stalemate for now. The dam destruction helped Russia funnel Ukraine counterattack on its biggest fortifications, so not much progress for Ukraine in the south. Russia resumed its offensive in the Dombass and Aavdiivka is starting to look like the new Bhakmut.

    It's an attrition war and Russia is losing like 2 or 3 times as much as Ukraine in men or material. But Russia has much more men than Ukraine. Russian morale is very low, but Ukraine support from the west is under big pressure, both from Russian propaganda and conservative/fascist political parties. This last one is the real war happening now.

    Next year will be important because of the elections in the US. What happen on the battlefield is still to be seen.
