When I was finishing high school I was introduced to an interest in programming through finding the limits of a composition applet on my Nokia (which was probably a 6300 but I'm away from home and unable to check).
I know this is an unrelated tangent but does anybody have any links that talk about the one or more of the composition apps or applets for smartphones or feature phones from that time period? Symbian, early versions of iOS, J2ME, I'll happily take anything on offer.
I see where my post above was unclear. For the theorem to apply to a 1+2n dimensional object, the vector field on the 2n dimensional surface of the object must be restricted to the surface - it must be tangent to the object everywhere.
The proton is fully 3-dimensional AFAICT so the vector field on the surface (if it has a surface, I'm not a physicist) can have non-tangent components, pointing inwards or outwards.
Looking at the article, the statement they display to blocked users could do with either a change in tone to be more legally formal or a change in tone to be more approachable to less-literate users - bullet points, multiple headings etc. Right now that message is the worst of both worlds and will get a very low conversion rate.
I've been away from this line of work for over a year, though. Does anybody here who has current experience in effective messaging, legal communication or marketing want to read the message Mindgeek put up and give their two cents on it for our entertainment?
It's not applicable. The theorem applies to the boundary of 1+2n dimensional balls - surface of an ordinary sphere, bulk of a 5-ball, 6-surface of a 7-ball, etc.
Giving the police expanded powers won't backfire the next time an authoritarian-adjacent party wins an election, will it? After all, look how well the enabling act turned out for the lawmakers who passed it.
Few people are asking why such a large proportion of the public are easily scammed, a status which is different to prior eras. The answer isn't education, fyi.
Unsure why it's capitalized in the article (it shouldn't be, consider terms like ice giant and sub-Jupiter or even the hycean planet Wikipedia page) but I'll point out that there's a pun there you've missed. High seas.
Not mentioned: do amateur paintings by others with the same techniques as Pollock produce features with a similar fractal dimension? My question is intended as a proxy for investigating how much of Pollock's quality is integral to the method regardless of artist skill.
Scale. Providing accurate recommendation algorithms for thousands+++ of people across thousands+++ of data items is surprisingly expensive in compute and electricity. For any one user, sure you can do whatever you like. When you divide your resources across your userbase the prices get larger and larger.
The idea that you can substitute a culture of company 'lore' for paying millennial and generation z staff well as a way of engendering employee loyalty has some merit. Human psychology is susceptible to exactly this.
Unfortunately, this guarantees the loyalty of some mediocre employees at the cost of likely alienating the highest performers.
This CNN article is just a tweaked copypaste of earlier FT reporting. The FT article has no sources and a credulous comment section, some of whom are alleging that ChatGPT is an equally reliable source:
https://www.ft.com/content/d6b2e4d6-2f84-4ef9-bf99-10d76d92d...
The FT article says that dozens of state-owned enterprises have set up PAFDs in the last 12 months but fails to mention that China has over a million SOEs.
Confusingly, the system for enlisted infantry recruiters also uses the PAFD acronym which means that regardless of search engine, half the results (War on the Rocks, RAND, Asian LII, JSTOR, DoD, DTIC, mod.gov.cn) are useless.
.
Anyway, let's suppose that it is happening as CNN/FT reports. There is an important context question: Is this an order from the CPC at the top or is this our perspective of an ordinary corporate fad in China, their equivalent to six sigma?
The reliance of the German industry on the prolific use of petroleum and gas products isn't just an energy/heat generation story. Their economy sits on a foundation of cheap downstream intermediate products produced domestically with very few middlemen compared to other national industrial complexes: cheap propylene oxide, cheap monoethylene glycol, cheap acetaldehyde, cheap acrylonitrile, cheap cumene, cheap C4 aromatics, etc, etc,
Each of these chemicals, plus more that I haven't mentioned, sit at the base of their own value chains. All of those have recently lost their comparative savings versus product refined elsewhere which means an end to German manufacturers enjoying cheap rubbers, resins, coatings, greases, fuels, paints, plastics, etc
This seems like two different questions being interwoven, asking both why high-turnover business models exist and why the management culture in those business models is the way it is.
I can't answer the first, but AFAICT the latter is just an evolutionary pressure of a sort: as more ruthless cultures are selected for, the successful individuals in those cultures become those who embody ruthlessness all the time instead of people who adjust their level of compassion up or down as the situation dictates.
Very basic explanation here, you will only need the visualization powers of high school physics:
Most gas that approaches a black hole does a gravitational slingshot and escapes.
This paper proves that the majority of escape trajectories eventually return to the black hole (effectively multiple attempts at getting absorbed). This has long been an assumption for running low-fidelity statistical modeling but it is now proven that the assumption is valid and that therefore the models are (mostly) valid.
Fever has tradeoffs: it kills most pathogens but it also does small amounts of permanent damage to brain, nerve, lung and marrow tissue. Far better to eradicate the pathogens before they enter the body, wherever that strategy is feasible to carry out.
