I read the cast name as "cat Steven"

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

I don't know about unbound so I can't really compare... OpenNic is not run by for-profit corporations, which I think is a good thing.

Opennic should be the default DNS of everybody!

He smoked for pleasure. I'm sure he ate and drank for pleasure.

If it was not clearly identified, even if I see it, I'll intentionally fall in it to have an OSHA-paid vacation.

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.

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!

Could they use a crawler with visual inspection? It's not as good as ultrasound because it will only see surface breaking stuff if it's big enough... But it's still better than no inspection at all, right?

He'll just have to use the AC.

From the color... the greens???

There's nothing more Canadian than hating the federal government.

Well that's interesting: in order to define unmeasurable sets, you relied on the axiom of choice... I suppose it might be possible to define unmeasurable sets without AC, but maybe not!

Every time I encounter the axiom of choice implying a bunch of crazy stuff, it always loop back to requiring AC. It's like a bunch of evidence against AC!

I find it interesting that the basic description of AC sounds very plausible, but I'm still convinced mathematicians might have made the wrong choice... (See what i did there? 😄)

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.

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.

One of them also acts as a parasite for the public's safety.

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.

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 https://www.amazon.ca/QED-Strange-Theory-Light-Matter/dp/0691164096/

It's a short read, and explains how positrons can be seen as electrons going backwards in time!

Welcome to quantum field theory! There is a single field for every type of particle in the standard model, but electrons are not made of photons.
