@olgarusu Lo siento mucho, Olga. Es curioso cómo sin conocerte ni casi interaccionar contigo te llevo siguiendo y leyendo tantos años que me apena verdaderamente. Descanse en paz.

Ya está descansando.

@GuerraenlaUni Un día habría que abrir el melón de las trepanaciones, que no el caso pero viene a cuento

Es increíble el daño que puede aguantar una persona. A este individuo prehistórico de Brasil le abrieron la cabeza con un hacha de piedra. Sobrevivió. La herida del cráneo acabó cicatrizando.

@Gxndisalvus Sobre la luz azul, tal vez te pueda servir esto de un oftalmólogo que ha estudiado el tema: ocularis.es/luz-azul-resum…

Mis ojos están sufriendo muchísimo últimamente de trabajar tantas horas frente a pantallas. ¿Alguna recomendación de buenas gafas con filtro de luz azul?

No compro libros para leer salvo en ultima instancia, compro libros para tener qué leer, es parecido pero no es lo mismo. Por eso desconfío de los que se han leído todos sus libros, o son muy jóvenes o algo pasa.

It annoys me that so many people are under the impression that this guy, Steven Bradbury, is some subpar goober who lucked his way into gold. That could not be further from the truth. This is one of the most satisfying victories in the history of the Olympics if you know the full backstory. This medal final was during his fourth Olympics, in Salt Lake City in 2002. Earlier in his career, he was among the best athletes in the world in this specific event, the 1000 meter short-track men's speed skate. But despite his talent, he just had some of the shittiest luck in the sport. We're talking a decade of shit luck. In the '94 Winter Olympics, he was considered the odds-on favorite to take gold, but he fell in his heat after getting illegally pushed by an opponent (who was later disqualified). He didn't get a re-do. That was it. He got shoved by some asshole, and his Olympics was over. Then in the '98 Winter Olympics, he was a favorite to at least medal in the same event but got caught up in a collision that wasn't his fault and failed to advance. In 1994, he got his thigh sliced open by a competitor's skate during a race, which required 111 stitches and 18 months of recovery time. In 2000, he broke his neck during training because a skater in front of him fell and tripped him up. That required a bunch of screws and plates being inserted into his skull and back and chest. And doctors told him that he should stop skating. But he didn't wanna give up. It meant too much to him. So, there he was in Salt Lake City in 2002, past his prime, a walking erector set, going up against opponents who were faster and younger and in their prime. He manages to win his heat and advance to the quarterfinal but then has the shit luck (yet again) of having to go up against the best two athletes in the quarterfinal and only the top two advance. He finishes third and thinks: "Damn, I gave it my best shot." But then, the second place finisher is disqualified, so Bradbury gets to advance to the semifinal. Now, at this point, he's thinking: Well, shit, I'm not as fast as these younger guys, and I got a bad habit of getting taken out by crashes that aren't my fault. So, he consults with the Australian national coach, Ann Zhang, and they decide that he should hang back from the pack and hope the pack crashes. That is a perfectly valid strategy. If you crash, you lose, but speed skaters risk crashing to gain an advantage in order to win. It may not feel exciting, but it is a valid strategy and just as risky: avoid crashes entirely and hope that pays off. It paid off in the semifinal: the pack, including the defending Olympic champion, jostled too much and crashed. Bradbury wins and advances. So, he's improbably in the final and takes the same approach, and it works: the entire pack jostles too much and crashes, and Bradbury's risk of hanging back pays off. This victory was not some un-athletic schlub lucking his way into gold. It was a journeyman athlete who never gave up and played smart after a career of shitty luck and finally got his due after it being snatched away from him so many times. Hands down, one of my favorite Olympics stories.

@olgarusu Has perdido la ocasión de escribir carnicerIA...

@imillaruelo @jaime_srr El mismo día, en la misma clase de segundo de carrera, aprendí el método de la diagonal de Cantor y la demostración de que hay tantos racionales como naturales; aún recuerdo ese día y hace 30 años....

@jaime_srr Me recuerdas al día en que me demostraron en clase de matemáticas el método de la diagonal de cantor para demostrar que el conjunto de números reales no era numerable (no se pueden ordenar). Me di cuenta de que las matemáticas podían ser elegantes, sencillas y complejas a la vez

Le he preguntado a ChatGPT cosas sobre decimales de Pi, y me he enterado de qué significa que Pi sea o no "normal" (nunca había oído hablar de eso). Y ahora le he preguntado si se puede demostrar que una conjetura es indemostrable e irrefutable (ejemplo: que Pi es normal).

@velardedaoiz2 Mi madre estuvo varios años, disfrutó muchísimo. Adoraba a sus profesores. Va a pasarlo bien y tú lo vas a disfrutar cuando te cuente las anécdotas.

Mi madre, 83 tacos, Licenciada en Ciencias Físicas, acaba de matricularse en la Universidad para mayores. Geopolítica, Filosofía, Arte y no sé qué más. Y yo, que llevaba un día manifiestamente mejorable, me voy a ir a dormir con una sonrisa más grande que la del Joker.

@WillKingston How old are you?
