Susan Rigetti is a woman.

For a 14 year-old, they seem very non-cringey, see e.g. this:

I am a bit impressed.

There is another thread here:

Someone should merge them.

Yeah this is the other one:

Someone should merge them.

Indeed, I've been told countless times I don't "need" to learn some branch of math I was interested in (by mathematicians no less).

Also, I've been told I "can't avoid" some branch of algebra (I've never touched it since).

Yeah equality of computable reals is undecidable (basically the halting of a Turing machine can be encoded as a computable real being nonzero).

Not everywhere.

I went to the only high school in my country which had lockers (it was mildly famous for it, being seen as an "American" trait) and I never had a locker because they were on a first come first served basis.

Who knows, maybe they're right

For those who don't know: the picture is one of the original illustrations of Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon. It depicts one of the leaders of the moonshot project, who was disappointed that he couldn't travel to the moon so he lived for a week or so inside the projectile, getting a bit fatter as a result (I guess this is the allusion). The pic is from when he gets out.

Can confirm, am mathematician.

It's not like I can't understand it, but it never attracted me enough to put in the work. (And I am quite put off by questions which require statistics to settle, which, yeah, I know, it's most of science.)

whoa didn't realize you were on hn too. Constant vigilance!

IME (lived 3 years in Germany) most Germans seem to think there is only one country in the world, that country being "Federal Republic of Germany around the 1970s or so".

Haha, started thinking of Julia Evans while reading the post and then her name just popped up.

Love ToastyTech, discovered it back in December 2004 and checked it regularly since (hasn't been much updated in the last few years but I still hope).

Well, nurse ends in an e, which is usually a feminine ending.

Well Putin has stated in his Feb 24 address that he does not intend to occupy Ukraine, so he's not bound by that in order to claim a win.

Re: the remark in the bracket

The analogy is a bit stretched, but I think it's due to both being described by systems of equations, in a sense.

Thanks!

Why is this being downvoted?

No, in unary.

I have a math degree, and I could understand most of them by the end of my second year.

What do you mean, forget? The whole point of the OP was that they are aware of how much time learning takes in real life, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem to solve.

Yeah I always opened the website when using RSS, even in 2008, so I don't mind.

So you would like them to not be representable?

Does it mean it is also a shell replacement or you keep Explorer as shell and you run DOpus as you would run, say, Total Commander?

He mentioned it in the title of the incompleteness paper.

> trying to get their papers accepted

I think that to do that one has to spend (most of their) time writing those papers, and doing the research contained in them.
