@messioso @Statsmin @DanishMFA Jeg forstår postet som at du omfavner Danmark, jeg håber ligeledes du er blevet omfavnet af Danmark. Britterne og danskerne er trods alt beslægtede. Men hvorfor er det afgørende at du kan stemme? Jeg formoder at manglen af statsborgerskab ikke forhindrer dig i din daglige gøren?

Okay Denmark @Statsmin @DanishMFA, attempt #2 of convincing you via food that I should have citizenship. Very important today on election day where as a mere permanent resident I cannot vote. I present my valgflæsk.

A near-miss in math: Roger Cotes in 1716, while investigating the surface area of an ellipsoid, found the following expression: log(cosφ + isinφ) = iφ. Had he exponentiated that formula and today Euler's Identity could be known as Cotes Identity.

@aledeniz Yes seems they’ve insisted on making it incrementally worse each update since about win7. Switching to Linux and finding out that my windows games run out of the box anyway and that I actually own the OS was a revelation

@traderpede I have used Linux for 29 years, my current laptop is on Omarchy, but I use also a lot of Windows. I really don’t like the slop Windows 11 has turned into.

The person who decided that the Windows 11 taskbar should be an unmovable widget should never have been allowed into a position that enabled them to do so.

BREAKING: Microsoft just announced several major changes to Windows 11 in an effort to win back user trust and evolve the platform into something people will actually want to use over macOS and Linux! It's a huge announcement that addresses Windows 11's biggest problems today, tackling core fundamental issues such as unreliable system performance, UX consistency, AI bloat and general enshittification. Microsoft has confirmed that this year, it WILL be reducing where ads and Copilot appear throughout the system, including in Start, Widgets, Notepad, Photos, and more! File Explorer and Windows Search will be upgraded with improved performance and capabilities that make finding apps and files much faster and easier. The OS will become lighter with less RAM and system utilization at idle, making it smoother to run on low end hardware with limited memory. These improvements will also benefit high-end PCs too. Windows Update will be improved with more granular controls and the ability to postpone updates for longer, along with reducing how often the OS needs to restart to install an update. Microsoft has also confirmed that it's bringing back fan favourite features such as the ability to move the Taskbar! It's also working to update more areas of the system shell with modern WinUI designs, which should make Windows 11 feel more coherent and complete. There's much more in the announcement, and it honestly all sounds too good to be true. Microsoft really is listening to feedback, and is eager to make Windows the BEST desktop OS on the market. More details including when these changes will arrive in the link! windowscentral.com/microsoft/wind…

@__paleologo … it does not hurt others etc., it’s their own money! More controverially perhaps I think the praxaelogical argument that people do not willingly make negative expected utility transactions, is reasonable

@__paleologo Have a friend who buys lottery coupons, when I asked about it he was aware of negative expected value, he said he enjoyed the suspense of it, excited him thinking about what he would do with the money. My case FOR gambling: adults should be allowed to buy whatever as long as…

@charliemikepath Population-wide statistics are irrelevant as I don't hang out with obese sheboons on welfare. A lot of the studies you're referring to are very low-quality.

If I had a daughter I wouldn’t think it’s pathological if she were a sl00t. I’ve known sl00ts with permissive fathers, strict fathers, religious fathers, atheist fathers, absent fathers, overbearing fathers, it’s possible to psychologize anything either way with a story.

@bronzeagemantis I have sons, it would be wonderful to watch them pillage. I have daughters I do not wish to see them pillaged. The woes of fatherhood!

I will go even further: I believe the ugliness of our world is related to why we have so much bureaucracy that stops physical world progress. It's the same loss of civilizational confidence and descent into jelyness.
Simen@pronouncedsimon

The triumph of architectural Modernism, has, I think, had a direct influence on the worldview of the people raised in its wake, more specifically on their readiness to collectively invest in the future — in something beautiful to pass down to succeeding generations. Recently I saw something that struck me: exquisite proto-Art Nouveau details on the capitals of the supports for a bridge across the Thames, built in the 1860s. The instinct to put something beautiful where barely anyone would see it, is reflective of the spirit we’ve lost. It’s not a coincidence that the early German Modernists were funded by German industry to flog products (glass, steel), nor that General Motors embraced Corbusier’s dystopian musings because it promised them great profit. Why should you want to collectively invest in the future, when the great paradigm around you — filling your field of vision from cradle to grave — is cheap, ephemeral mayfly architecture meant to spite you for the short period it exists, then be torn down and replaced by something equally foul? Meanwhile the leading ‘authorities’ harp on about ‘building for our time’ (so our time is soulless?). Maybe I’m overstating the case but I do think there is something going on here. A little extra spent on beauty is a small gift to the future. And it reflects a deeper spirit.

This is why leftists come up with cooler quotes. The left’s idea of a profound quote is a bold word of resistance about how a man’s ideas outlast his own life. The right’s idea of a profound quote is just psychopathic.

@MInusGix @Almost_Sure Ah you’re right. They also get better at better at coding, very impressive sometimes. But perhaps it’s because I’m worse ar coding that I am at math lol

@traderpede @Almost_Sure Finding references is quite good, and they've notably improved every year But also there's a reason he does Lean with LLMs a lot because it avoids a lot of the issues as it checks the proof and means you only need to verify the problem statement

So ChatGPT gets the wrong answer, then *proves* the wrong answer. Then when a counterexample is pointed out, calls it *my* assumption that was wrong 🤷 do the more advanced versions that you subscribe to handle this better?

@Almost_Sure I have been stating some real analysis style epsilon delta proofs to the paid (plus) version lately and it performs quite a bit worse than the free one actually. I asked it about statistics, almost sure equalities, asymptotics and such >yr ago which was quite bad…

@OleOestlid @leRaffl @TeslaBest Indeed. Of course, teaching students about free markets, Pareto equilibrium, monopolies, etc. in school risks leaving many government bureaucrats out of a job, the very people who design these curricula in the west.
