Anyone who's ever seen molten gold knows that this is an incredibly bad representation. It glows bright yellow/orange. It doesn't look like the gold paint they're pouring here.

And despite your confidence, your answer is wrong. You're talking about a 3-cube embedded in 4-space instead of a 4-cube, which is why you only see 6 faces, whereas a 4-cube (a tesseract) has 24 faces.

Interesting project!

Err, café au lait maybe?

There's no "constant 4th dimensional vector" here.

You’re overcomplicating it by treating the 4th dimension as time. In a tesseract puzzle, the 4th dimension is just another spatial direction. The ant simply walks across adjacent cubic cells on the hypersurface, much like walking across faces of an ordinary cube. The problem reduces to finding a path through the adjacency graph of the 8 cells.

multiple times a month I’d say it just randomly charges to 100% regardless

That's intentional on Pixel phones - from https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7106961

To keep its battery capacity readings accurate, your Pixel needs to fully charge at every 10th cycle. This applies even if you have the “Limit to 80%” option turned on. To finish the process, leave your phone plugged in for at least 30 minutes after the screen shows 100%.

The ant is a mathematical metaphor - a point that can trace a path along any surface and can cross to another surface only by crossing an edge, but cannot leave the surface.

In mathematics, the 4th dimension isn't in any way privileged, so the ant isn't "traveling across the fourth dimension" as such, it's tracing a path through all four dimensions, just like you'd trace a path through three dimensions.

Oh, interesting!

OK, to save you all a click: he's saying that he's using AI to triage tips, so that they can process all the tips that come in, and that way they've been able to stop two school shootings.

Maybe someone can confirm how they know that those kids were definitely going to shoot up their schools and aren't just suspected of having wanted to do it.

OK, that makes me curious. What is the patriarchy keeping from me?

 

Up until the early 2000s I used to compile my own kernel, carefully selecting only the options that I needed.

Then I realised that I wasn't saving memory, because almost everything was a module anyway.

Is there any actual benefit to using a custom kernel on consumer hardware that's supported by the stock kernels?

I started using Linux at university, and my first distro at home was SuSE in 1997, because my father got the CDs at work. Then I ran RedHat for a while, because that's what my friends were running, then Mandrake, then Knoppix, then Debian. Loved Debian and AfterStep.

About 10 years ago I moved to Ubuntu because I had a hardware issue that was solved in Ubuntu but was a pain to fix in Debian. I liked that as well.

But this year I bought a second-hand ThinkPad T490, and it was randomly locking up (mouse still moves but nothing else responds). Googling and trying to troubleshoot by looking through logs wasn't working, and I'm pretty sure it's not a pure hardware issue, because I've got it as a dual boot system because my girlfriend's son uses windows on it, and hasn't had any issues.

So yesterday, I decided to back up my home directory and install Debian Forky. It feels like coming home. And so far, no lock-ups...

 

Ich habe heute, trotz "keine Werbung" Schild, AfD Werbung in meinem Briefkasten gefunden.

Ich habe folgende E-Mail am Ortsverband geschrieben:

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

ich habe heute in meinem Briefkasten Wahlwerbung Ihrer Partei vorgefunden. Zu welchem genauen Zeitpunkt diese eingeworfen wurde, kann ich nicht feststellen.

An meinem Briefkasten befindet sich gut sichtbar ein eindeutiger Hinweis „Keine Werbung“. Dieser untersagt ausdrücklich den Einwurf sämtlicher unadressierter Werbesendungen, wozu auch parteipolitische Wahlwerbung zählt.

Der dennoch erfolgte Einwurf stellt eine unzulässige Belästigung sowie einen Eingriff in mein Besitzrecht dar.

Ich fordere Sie hiermit auf, es künftig zu unterlassen, Wahlwerbung oder sonstige unadressierte Sendungen in meinen Briefkasten einzuwerfen oder einwerfen zu lassen.

Für den Fall einer erneuten Zuwiderhandlung behalte ich mir ausdrücklich rechtliche Schritte vor, insbesondere die Geltendmachung eines Unterlassungsanspruchs.

Bitte bestätigen Sie mir schriftlich, dass Sie diese E-Mail erhalten haben.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Was meint ihr? Wird das helfen? Ist es juristisch sauber?

 

I got this mint rOtring sec-o-mat set in a mixed lot of drawing equipment on eBay. I find the Isograph pens really elegant, but personally I only use Micronorm/Variant pens for my drawings, so I've decided to sell this on. Because these sets are quite rare, and because a new Isograph costs over €20, I figured a starting auction price of €140 seemed more than fair. If I'm lucky, this one will almost pay for the whole lot that I bought. Wish me luck!

 

I got this as part of an eBay lot of drawing/drafting equipment. It looks like a cutting board but it has a hard insert (feels like a very hard plastic).

 

If you open the timer app on a Xiaomi phone, you can click on a recent time to set the timer. Here I click on "19:00" and get 13 minutes. Why? Because if you click "go" before their gee-whiz animation is finished, you get whatever time happened to be on the dial at the time you pressed the button. Like, all they had to do was just have the button set the timer. And God forbid you just want to type a number. Nope. You have to spin a dial. It's literally easier to do this right, but they chose to make it suck because it has to look cool.

 

I have access to an electron microscope and one of the test subjects I used was a milk tooth donated by my partner's son. I'm curious as to what the damage is. Is it simple decay?

 

Wir haben das als Weihnachtsgeschenk gekauft (war ungefähr die 35€ wert die es kostete), aber wenn es ein Elektronenmikroskop wäre, wäre das echt der Knaller!
