Physics is modeling of observable events. A model isn't reality. Math is frequently not clean. It's following a set of human defined rules and those rules can lead to serious LOL! WTF?

Actually in narrow situations I think it makes sense. Basically I'm thinking about when the government bails out failing companies. Taxpayer's money...they should gain a stake (and potentially kill & replace management in needed). Likewise for research. It's absurd that taxpayer fund it and

I'll just note that assuming voters are rational is a bad assumption.

As a member of the commonwealth it seems like it isn't even farfetched.

The original version of Numan's Metal is good...but the post fame version is extra. Just an example if you haven't hit it before.

Plus it's in the same vein as "broken clock". RKF is right about healthy diets and exercise. He's just batshit crazy about everything else. Likewise Musk's zoomers might accidently kill a few termites while they burn down the neighborhood.

In these cases sollya would fail to converge without the seed. Other examples are using some other tool (say multiprecision or CAS) to get a first pass.

together the so-call Lie space and group (to be nerdy) or angle & axis vs. smooth space representations (to be rotation specific).

Euler's is nice because it connects dots. In 2D we have a single basis 'i' and exactly 2 unit bivectors (0,1) & (0,-1). Extending complex to 3D to get quaternions we replace 'i' with the set of all unit bivectors which is a 3D unit sphere & call a specific one 'u' and off we go. log and exp tie

I was reminded of this because I ran across a SO answer of his that builds up to using "Four Russians" for the "binary ranking problem"

What is a succinct rank data structure? How does it work?
I've heard of a class of data structures called succinct rank data structures. What do these data structures do? What does "succinct" mean here? And how do they work?

It's a big sadface that we didn't get AVX-512 the 256 bit addition at rollout time for consumer targeted CPUs.

but anyway the version of isolate lowest & highest bit of each run and merge reduces to the same as the above two in that cases & is more "clear" to my mind.

FWIW: I'm failing at giving credit here. Warren also has a snippet for the exact match. The first 'e' expression where 'x' is the result of the sieve. The second is a reduction to make the not-and op more obvious & he notes it's 4 op

e = x & ~(x >> 1) & ~(x << 1)
e = x & ~((x >> 1) | (x << 1))

I mostly quit twitter a few years ago but pop in once or twice a month. So anyway toward the end of last year I logged in and saw a post of hers where she was basically normalizing the KKK. The scooby-doo meme popped in my head.

Ah well. Too late. Anyway if a former White Nationalist, Stormfront moderator and member of the Oath Keepers told me I sounded far-right then I'm question myself about what I was saying and maybe ask for clarification.
