Surprised Pikachu is much surprised.

Halsin would like a word.

Counteroffer - spend that $30 on a drink and turn them down. Just keep on using windows 10 and clog up their support tickets ^_

Almost:

Lengths are usually reals, and in this case the diagram suggests we can assume that A is the origin wlog (and the sides are badly drawn vectors without a direction)

Next we convert the vectors into lengths using the abs function (root of conjugate multiplication). This gives us lengths of 1 for both.

Finally, we can just use a Euclidean metric to get our other length √2.

Squaring isn’t multiplication by complex conjugate, that’s just mapping a vector to a scalar (the complex | x | function).

I dunno about science, but truth is proof. That just infers that science is various forms of proof, and I’m ok with that as it lets our notion of proof evolve as we do ^_

The big windows 10 problem is that it updates to windows 11.

Might be worth spinning up an external 1080ti on the lappy and see if the magic is finally there!

I’m not entirely sold - a lot of the time when troubleshooting games for my Ubuntu lappy I stumble across Nvidia issue threads.

Prays that 2025 is the year for solid NVIDIA support for Linux

I was thinking more a binomial proportion test with the available data ;)

Also, yep, “assuming” was a key part of the statement!

Assuming X~B(20,0.5), that gives us a p-value of…

0.00000095367431640625

Time to reject H0!

So here’s the question - is the scale consistent over time? That is, do we consider the same ideas left/right wing in 202x as we did in 199x?

Let’s assume it is. We’re seeing men lean towards the center/right, and a lot of people are asking why. The trouble is, the answer isn’t one people like to hear - in our headlong pursuit of equity, we’re introducing a lot of inequality. You lift the ladies up, while you let the men climb - all based on the assumption that the women had further to climb so what you’re doing is levelling the field.

Countering this is a sympathetic voice, one offering to bring back equality or offer a different kind of equity. Casting gender equity as a zero sum game, and pushing for equality aimed at the ones not being lifted up.

I often hear the “uneducated men” argument, but that’s just an ugly echo from the past serving those it once oppressed in a bitter irony. The reality is that even educated people can fall for propaganda. Especially when voting in what they see as their own self interest.

Don’t forget Nixon’s head!

So if the average price was $50 in 2000, and is about $70 today, assuming a linear rate of price increases, it would be $1663.33 in 4024.

This is a terrible model: it likely underestimates as inflation is geometric rather than arithmetic.

For a geometric model we have r=1.011329 over this period, thus extrapolating we get a price of…

$208,200,000,000

Which is insane, because it is so low for Nintendo!

You just captured the daily life of a UK academic after the catastrophically low recruitment numbers this year.

"My dear, monogamy is an entirely relative concept with no fixed frame of reference!’

I need a pasta of this for when I get asked to man the open day stall on a weekend…

I absolutely don’t use notepad++ as my main IDE… Honest.

I feel personally attacked by this!
