Agree, Hunter S Thompson would've never written fear and loathing were he not a sports journo first

This is my favourite proof in all of maths (that I've been exposed to). Truly unreal feeling proving a statement is unprovable using godel numbering in an exam

That one took me back to high school art history. Agree, as much as I dislike AI generated art, it still is art. An Andy Warhol of today would could be making his screenprints using AI.

NOAA is fantastic, I was alpine climbing in the very bottom of south america near El Chalten and NOAA is pretty much the only place to get a reliable forecast down there. Fantastic service.

It allows us to prove that certain "computers" are the same through proofs and that they can carry out the same tasks regardless of the actions that take place within them. I would suggest looking into that as it really opens your eyes to just how similar computationally so many things are

subtle off green PCB, my god, that's really nice

I wonder why no one has introduced a hybrid of the two, for example, you have a private key on your Gov ID, you turn up to the polling station, sign your paper with your ID, bob's your dads brother.

Seems like this would solve the ballot stuffing issues as well as being easily electronically verifiable, it's just not a fully digital solution

I work in finance and it's great having big historical datasets, even if the figures are far lower in previous years it's good to see system 'shocks' and these can be used at a different magnitude/scaled for future forecasting

Amex isn't very popular in my country but they meet a really good intersection between the old school white glove service and an easily usable hassle free modern service

I imagine the "talks" amount to one of them (probably ghostface) telling them to go f themselves
