Some of those nodes are broken, it’s got coolant leaks and the processors are 8 years old. I read in another article they meant to replace it a couple years ago but couldn’t due to COVID supply chain problems (makes sense tbh).

What I’m saying is, it might be “assembled” already but due to the power draw, you definitely don’t want to run something this out of date. It’s huge. Might be a logistical problem to even get enough juice for this thing. Another poster pointed out it might need its own electrical substation. IMHO it’s only worth parting out. Far too expensive to run.

Those cabinets look nice though, with the Cheyanne graphic on the front.

(disclaimer: I am a leftist and voting for Biden despite his policies)

It’s just the darndest coincidence.

It's not. Go talk to your coworkers, neighbors, or fellow students. It doesn't matter how they're going to vote, most of them are like "BOTH SIDES ARE BAD!!!! But I'm voting for [asdf] because [qwerty]" or they use it as an excuse as to why they aren't going to bother voting. It's very American.

Source: (Turd Sandwich / Giant douche)[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7pfsneLSSM] episode of South Park aired in 2004 (FUCK! that's 20 years ago). I was there. Everyone was like "HAHA SAME. That's why I'm completely checked out. I'm so fucking smart."

Listen, I'm typing this up because this sort of absolutist rhetoric is just fostering online division and you've gotten a lot of upvotes for it. Yes there are Russian shills (especially on Lemmy). But this is a very common opinion, and pretending it's not isn't serving anyone or fixing a problem. Calling people you don't know and can't know Russian shills is just name calling.

Mexico attacked the US like Hamas attacked Israel

Bad comparison. Mexico is an independent nation recognized by the UN. No nation disputes it's sovereignty over it's lands.

Palestine is dependent on Israel. Israel controls the flow of people and goods from it's borders. Israel controls electrical power to Palestine. Israel geographically surrounds Palestine.

One actor holds all the cards here. One actor has the power to improve conditions in Gaza (people don't generally choose to support violent militants for no reason) and chooses to bomb it.

I'm not sure anyone has really provided a complete explanation of what is the difference between working with an absolute infinity and the way we do math normally in science and such.

Basically, no one has found the idea of using an absolute infinity to explain the world to be better than the way we deal with infinity in college courses. In college, you run across the idea that some infinite sets are larger than others (countable numbers vs uncountable). Edit - I think you could have the idea of different sized infinities and a final largest absolute infinity. It’s just that this concept isn’t useful. It would be like claiming God is purple. Nobody can prove you wrong and it doesn’t matter.

Of course, an infinite set makes sense in math, and has practical uses in the sciences, but nothing can truly be demonstrated to be unending. Another poster put it nicely - infinity is a direction, not a destination.

I recommend this video How to count past infinity by Vsauce (about 20 minutes long). It is closer to entertainment than a lecture but its pretty good. I'm only an undergrad math major but I haven't found any real problems with this video (though, he does start talking about ordinal numbers which aren't terribly useful to anyone that I know of, yet, except for some really complicated number theory stuff cryptographers might use, don't ask me. cryptographers are basically wizards imho).

He installed python packages on Debian using pip instead of apt in the default environment

The author of these paragraphs summarizes it very nicely. It takes a lot of talent to break things down like this, I wish more math textbooks were written this way.

I recommend this video as well:

…that’s fine. Kind of boring though.

Think about it: do you really think Bethesda can expand this universe in a way that wouldn’t come off as stereotyping or downright racist in another nation? Could they make a story that’s interesting and authentic? Their writing has been pretty bad lately. They’re just not up to it.

It’s a poll ran by a university. Nate Silver found this institution reliable

Sometimes polls say different things. That’s why you do more than one. Sampling different populations in different ways gives different results. There isn’t anything nefarious happening here.

It’s a poll. Mentioning that these people exist is hardly propaganda. They exist. It’s hard to strategize how to reach voters who don’t agree with you if you bury your head in the sand.

The “Arabs” are American voters. Dearborn, MI is the largest population of Muslim people outside of a Muslim-majority nation.

(It’s in the article you didn’t read)

Nueters

Oh no

how do you pronounce this? Noiters? Nooters?

Edit: it’s very nice, neat idea

 

This is an excerpt from my math models textbook. It's about Lagrange Polynomials which is a technique that lets you fit a polynomial to a set of any number of unique points (x_1,y_1) ... (x_n,y_n) so long as all your x-values are different (otherwise it wouldn't be a function, and couldn't be a polynomial). The polynomial you'll calculate will be the unique, lowest degree polynomial that passes through all points.

 

I’m trying out Mlem (looking for a replacement for Liftoff, I tried memmy already) and these silky smooth transitions are driving me nuts. I’m talking about the way text zips around when collapsing comments, or the way images slide in when clicking a thumbnail. I’d rather turn them off, is there a way to do that in the settings?

 

I read on the wiki that discoveries are kind of pointless right now but this is very cool. I didn't know my dwarves could further knowledge in their societies, I like this a lot, even for just role play.

Attempting to create a post with a title of "0! = 1" causes lemmy to stall, with the create post button remaining as a little spinning circle and no error messages.

This is not ideal?
