@DeepDishEnjoyer I hope this stew was not sold as "goulash".

oh. this slaps.

@destinede4th @EvilLargeBug It's nice you could give her a final treat, based on my experience with tarantulas, spiders don't really accept food when they are dying.

@EvilLargeBug hand fed her a nice juicy worm before she went to sleep forever

to think a creature as little as you could bring me so much joy

@rieszspieces Check out free probability.

heartbreaking: some things in probability are actually kinda cool...

@DefenderOfBasic interacted with any mathematician who described their understanding of math this way. Additionally, this is more anecdotal, but during my studies people with the fanciest note taking habits generally had the poorest understanding of the subject.

@DefenderOfBasic 1/? I think it's quite overwhelming and as someone pointed out below may encourage memorising "this colour is here, this is there" etc instead of actual understanding. Maybe my initial reaction was a bit harsh, but personally I don't see math in this colorful way, and never

people who are good at math look at an equation and immediately see the colors. You & I can't see the colors until we do a lot of extra work. But if you explain it in our language, we can see it, and solve it. It's not that complicated

@rieszspieces I am so normal I commute with my adjoint.

i'm literally so normal, i'm basically a locally bounded family of holomorphic functions

@DeepDishEnjoyer Type II? As in classification of von Neumann factors?

for introverts like me dating is type ii fun

@D0nkeyHS There are a lot of battlecries here, can't we fit parrot's sanctuary somehow?

Hit a nice rank so I can't queue anymore. 21-8 with this discover hunter

@haisayaka How can anyone who climbed out of bronze think that the 3 mana do nothing egg that has to be cracked FIVE TIMES will fit into any deck ever?

Just saw the mini set new cards and I have never been so underwhelmed in my entire life… these are somehow worse than the last expac💀

@PlayHearthstone 4 totally unplayable cards, a good start!

EGGcellent news, the Mini-Set is right around the corner! The Day of Rebirth Mini-Set hatches on September 2 🎉 🏆 4 New Legendaries 💎 New Diamond Legendary ✨ 38 New Cards 🦕🐢 Epic Dinosaurs and Tortollans 🔗: blizz.ly/3HvedUD #DayofRebirth

@roundknowledge @PlayHearthstone @reqvamhs @FilFeelHS Murloc paladin is not even in the top 15 decks in top 1k legend (and these players are a lot more competitive than top 1k). If you are complaining about murloc pala it's a you issue.

@PlayHearthstone @reqvamhs @FilFeelHS I’m surprised it’s not murloc paladins vs murloc paladins entire tournament. You broke it and refuse to fix it. Ramping aggro is the dumbest mechanic yet.

Photon waves goodbye to the competition, rocketing at the speed of light to the #MastersTour Summer Championship. We'll c you there! Europe up next with @reqvamhs vs @FilFeelHS in the first EU quarter-final match. 📺: twitch.tv/playhearthstone

@star_stufff And then in Endgame Tony "inverts the Möbius strip" and "finds its eigenvalues" to invent time travel 🤣

I like this scene from Iron Man 2 where tony goes through this notebook while watching a recording his father left for him, you can see how it is filled with einstein field equations, bianchi identities, the poisson equation. always appreciate when movies get the science right and capture small details even in this way.

@J_Alexander_HS 6-1 with cultist map, only loss was dark gift warrior.

Did a few 6 win runs with this. Raiding Party should probably be Cultist Map if you got them

@macrocephalopod No need to be circular and say that a vector space is a space of vectors. A vector space is simply a set equipped with two operations (over a field).

A vector is an element of a vector space. A vector space is a space of vectors (with addition and scalar multiplication). I don’t see what’s hard about this.

@__paleologo Cool project: genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu I have Riesz, Fejér, Weierstrass, Schwarz, Gauss, Leibniz among my "ancestors".

The “incestuous academic network” is kind of a nothingburger. If you have a PhD in Physics or Math from an ok university, chances are we have a common ancestor in Gauss.

@PlayHearthstone Battlegrounds disconnect issue is not solved at all!

Server-side hotfix patch 32.4.1 is rolling out now with bug fixes and game improvements focused on Arena and Battlegrounds. 📜 Learn more: blizz.ly/4mObJjU

@T1KaoNashi @patchnpaws Did they ever win during this split after a game 1 loss? It feels like after 0-1 it's just an insane mental boom into 0-2.

@patchnpaws I'm sorry but they didn't. I think all of them expected today to win and after that game 1 loss the mental just gone down the hill..

What the actual fuck happened to T1 … we look EMBARASSING and we’re at the door for Road to MSI. My goodness..

@fluxtheorist Almost the same could be said for training mathematicians (and I guess for pure/theoretical research or training in general).

One of the things that is bugging me about this whole “physics hasn’t done anything” line that people seem to be loving to justify the recent NSF cuts is that they don’t even realize the value of being trained as a physicist. Many of the top ML and AI advancements have been made with people from a physics background. The obvious ones are Jared Kaplan and Dario Amodei (co-founders of Anthropic) but you also have people like Danilo Rezende and John Jumper (AlphaFold) who started out as physicists and are now deeply involved in AI research. Countless statistical physicists transition into ML theory as well and have made important contributions to scaling, ML stats, etc. Even if you don’t care about what discoveries physicists have made in the past 75 years (they are still important: holography, superconductors, quantum information, etc.) you still very much ought to care about training physicists. It’s not just an investment in pure sciences and laying the groundwork for academic work, it’s an investment in training smart people to solve hard problems which one day could translate to products you might use that could change your life for the better.

@finiteopencover Good luck, swe/quant/other?

compact has the first day of her internship tomorrow & is feeling very ahhhh wish her luck! (pls do pray for me—i. am. so. nervous.)
