I don’t think you need permission to send someone an email directly addressed to and written for them. I don’t have context for the claims about Kagi being disputed, but I’d be frustrated if someone posted a misinformed rant about my work and then refused to talk to me about it. I might even write an email. Doesn’t sound crazy. If there’s more to the “harassment” that I don’t know about, obviously I’m not in favor.

You can also get a bluetooth amp/dac and plug your wired headphones into there. I use a Qudelix 5k for my IEMs at home and I can just put it in my pocket if I want to take them out.

Your first sentence asserts the claim to be proved. Actually it asserts something much stronger which is also false, as e.g. 0.101001000100001… is a non-repeating decimal which doesn’t include “2”. While pi is known to be irrational and transcendental, there is no known proof that it is normal or even disjunctive, and generally such proofs are hard to come by except for pathological numbers constructed specifically to be normal/disjunctive or not.

It’s (co)homology, not Cartesian algebra. There’s also a typo in the meme. I have a fixed version and solution somewhere.

Yes, the egg needs to be barely cooked before battering and frying, which makes it really annoying to shell + batter + fry them

R^(3) specifically

Did they teach you how to formulate thought experiments in the shop?

Yeah, basic graduate level math is a lot more useful than whatever you do with your life to warrant such an attitude.

Specifically, the thing that exists is a regular homotopy of immersions from the standard embedding to its opposite. The “rules” aren’t supposed to be self evident, they’re part of a broader context in topology

The eigenvalues of a diagonal matrix are the values on the diagonal. Diagonalizable matrices’ eigenvalues can be determined by diagonalizing them and looking at the entries on the diagonal.

It’s interesting because it’s highly counter-intuitive that such a thing is possible. It’s not supposed to be useful except as an example of a false intuition, which can remind us to be careful in our reasoning.

Somehow I doubt hips and wheelchairs are among the top offenders

Keycaps are expensive but you can easily spend $500 on a keyboard chassis/plate/pcb alone

Yeah. Normal whoppers are crunchy. 1 in 4 whoppers is soggy and chewy and hard to eat

Whoppers are good but the risk of getting a bad one is not worth it. Ech

I don’t really query, but it’s good enough at code generation to be occasionally useful. If it can spit out 100 lines of code that is generally reasonable, it’s faster to adjust the generated code than to write it all from scratch. More generally, it’s good for generating responses whose content and structure are easy to verify (like a question you already know the answer to), with the value being in the time saved rather than the content itself.

There’s a search field on the front page. The rest is blank because I used the (default) “exact match” option, so the rest of the page is (by random chance) filled with spaces. The search function presumably uses knowledge about the algorithm used to generate the pages to locate a given string in a reasonable amount of time, rather than naively looking through each page.
