@_kushgupta @vjsinsights @ElfaroukHarb @ronawang I think that's another misrepresentation. In my experience the actual job is nothing like competitive programming. The reason they hire people with that kind of experience is for the attributes that are associated with success in those kinds of competitions.

1950: A. Einstein's Letter to Erwin Schrödinger where he talks about the famous Schrödinger's cat thought experiment ✉️ Dear Schrödinger, You are the only contemporary physicist, besides Laue, who sees that one cannot get around the assumption of reality—if only one is honest. Most of them simply do not see what sort of risky game they are playing with reality—reality as something independent of what is experimentally established. They somehow believe that the quantum theory provides a description of reality, and even a complete description; this interpretation is, however, refuted, most elegantly by your system of radioactive atom + Geiger counter + amplifier + charge of gun powder + cat in a box, in which the ψ-function of the system contains the cat both alive and blown to bits. Is the state of the cat to be created only when a physicist investigates the situation at some definite time? Nobody really doubts that the presence or absence of the cat is something independent of the act of observation. But then the description by means of the ψ-function is certainly incomplete, and there must be a more complete description. If one wants to consider the quantum theory as final (in principle), then one must believe that a more complete description would be useless because there would be no laws for it. If that were so then physics could only claim the interest of shopkeepers and engineers; the whole thing would be a wretched bungle. You are completely right to emphasize that the complete description cannot be built on the concept of acceleration, nor, it seems to me, can it be built on the particle concept. Only one of the tools of our trade remains—the field concept, but God knows whether this will stand firm. I think it is worthwhile to hold on to this, i.e. the continuum, as long as one has no really sound arguments against it. But it seems certain to me that the fundamentally statistical character of the theory is simply a consequence of the incompleteness of the description. This says nothing about the deterministic character of the theory; that is a thoroughly nebulous concept anyway, so long as one does not know how much has to be given in order to determine the initial state. It is rather rough to see that we are still in the stage of our swaddling clothes, and it is not surprising that the fellows struggle against admitting it. Best regards! Yours, A. Einstein

If he had gotten it right she would've started questioning everything. Possibly to the point of freaking out. Then the game is on! He would have to be as vague with his answers as possible, ask leading questions and let her fill in any blanks he couldn't fill himself. As soon as he's got enough info he'd have to research this ex of hers. Get as much information as possible and hope she isn't still in contact with the guys family. Then play it out and see just how far he could take it before she catches wind. Now I know some of you might think this is cruel and you're absolutely right. It's fucked up. Still it'd be something for books. Have no doubt about that.

This is the first known use of 𝑏 to represent the y-intercept in the equation of a straight line: y = ax + 𝑏 by Gaspard Monge's in 1781.

The Shrödinger problem defines a dynamic interpolation between two distributions using Brownian bridges. The 0 temperature limit is Optimal Transport. hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00849930/d…

The Fisher-Rao distance is the geodesic distance associated with smooth divergences (e.g., Kulback-Leibler). Without constraint, it is the Hellinger distance. On the manifold of Gaussians, it is a negatively curved space. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_in…

The central limit theorem states that as the sample size of a random variable increases, the distribution of sample means becomes more and more normal, regardless of the underlying distribution of the population. It is fundamental in probability theory and #statistics. #MathType

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.

Power of a point theorem is one of those results in geometry that immediately catch your eye with short and easy formulation and a close-to-magic result. Let us go over it's proof with Jakob Steiner, the man who introduced the concept of power of a point. [1/3]

@EM_RESUS Lost my sister Monday. Seemed fine Friday, her husband found her unresponsive/incoherent Sat afternoon, rushed to ER/ICU, taken off respirator Mon. morning. Acute liver failure from Tylenol. We had no idea, now I know it's the most common cause of acute liver failure in the US.

@LoveLockets2 @EM_RESUS No more than 4 gm acetaminophen day. Some cases of liver failure are seen with as little as 2 gm. When taking acetaminophen, I take acetylcysteine a couple times a week, at least.

Euler's number "e" In 1683 the Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli found the first approximation of the mathematical constant e while studying continuous compound interest. e is one of the most important numbers in mathematics alongside 0, 1, π and i.

Newton’s method is a root-finding #algorithm that produces better approximations to the roots of a real-valued function f successively. The most basic version is a single-variable function f, defined for a real variable x and with derivative f’. #MathType #math #mathfacts

Isaac Newton regarded all varying quantities as flowing quantities. He called fluxion the rate of flowing - he used the dotted notation to refer to it. Adopting his fluxional notation we can write mechanical equations considering x as a flowing quantity!
