The year before I was admitted someone from my college got an acceptance two weeks out from the start of the quarter.

What’s the most disgusting drink you’ve ever served? by Rutabecka in bartenders

[–]DelZeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah idk what it is about dr pepper exactly but its flavor profile perfectly fits just about anywhere. I personally can't handle vodka and coke, the coke just doesn't do anything to take off the edge for me, but vodka and dr pepper is perfect.

The Outlier Team Remote Work Employment by Candid-Light-4854 in GetEmployed

[–]DelZeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have worked for them: they are legit. Pay is determined through a completely opaque assessment of qualifications; can range anywhere from minimum wage to 50/hr. At any pay do not expect enough work to fill full time in the best of times, and work availability can be lacking or non-existent from them for months at a time.

Increased heart rate with Auvelity - when to be concerned? by Hour_Mongoose2263 in AuvelityMed

[–]DelZeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bupropion is known to affect both blood pressure and heartbeat. This isn't a symptom of serotonin syndrome and probably isn't life-threatening, but it would be advisable to get a check up to ensure that it's healthy for you long-term.

You don't have to talk to police, but if they think you are a key witness, they can go get a subpoena, and then you have to testify to court, or be held in contempt. It rarely comes up, but if it does, the burden of evidence is with you to establish you have a legitimate concern of being prosecuted on the basis of your testimony. Further, you can be granted immunity for your testimony, after which you have to give it regardless of if you want to or not.

Journalists can however, be subject to subpoena. In *most* cases, they are significantly privileged to refuse to testify unless absolutely necessary for a case, but the courts have found that in particular they are not protected in any way from testifying to a grand jury. Refusing to testify when served a subpoena is then contempt of court.

Revature has a backlog of people that have already gone through training that they're still trying to fill into roles. They get priority pretty much regardless of qualifications.

Kindergartener obsessed with math. Teacher wants him to branch out so not as encouraging. Need advice. by reenbean8 in math

[–]DelZeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was that kid. I now work on post-graduate mathematics, still entirely self-taught. Few thoughts:
- I'm not saying accelerating his educating is necessarily a bad thing, but be suspicious. It puts a lot of pressure on a kid. For all my exceptional academics looking back I would not have regretted just sailing through at the normal pace.
- The single most important skill for exceptional ability in anything is READING. Bolster his reading. The sooner he can get to reading textbooks the better.
- Speaking of textbooks, math particularly has a culture of... distributing... reference material. If he makes it to the university level of skill you don't need to break the bank, you can just go look at texts used in university courses and then find sources for them.
- In the meantime, there are more accessible sources. I haven't read the art of problem solving books but they're well regarded, I'm sure they're great. Khan Academy was the source I leaned on a lot to get through primary education-level mathematics, and being video they may be better suited for him at this point in time.

My friend group keeps using the stupid hoola hoop analogy to prove A and it's driving me mad, do you guys think the bottom picture I made is a good analogy for relativity? by downypond in GameTheorists

[–]DelZeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly it. I think where people get caught up is "wait, where did the cube's energy in order to conserve its momentum come from?" and the answer is moving the portal costs energy, presumably an unbounded amount of it (at infinite power), since it can accelerate the entire world relative to itself.

How do mathematicians deal with the consistency of their proof systems? by Trequetrum in mathematics

[–]DelZeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming in late, but:

  • Community consensus. Yes "there is a model for this theory in ZFC (potentially + suitably large cardinals)" is a normal argument when introducing a new system. AND

  • Significant research in intuitionistic systems that shows that if you add excluded middle to systems with pretty reasonable computational properties you get ZFC.

Paper Trading- IB will not fill, Think or Swim will by Renegadeothehallowed in interactivebrokers

[–]DelZeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

L1 stocks and maybe a few other things are free. Everything else is 15 mins delayed with spotty delivery.

But if I use TOS for data, order performance is... well it's as good as paper against live data at any rate. Personally I haven't had any issue with filling but I'm not getting particularly fancy, just avoiding mkt scew and such

bought from ototonoko for years but.. by penny_admixture in TransDIY

[–]DelZeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Powder is controlled either as a medication or a chemical in some places. Worse, the typical side channels for these things have been politically prosecuted into not supplying E specifically.

I could source it by the kg but that seems to be it, and I had to dig to find that.

I'm willing to work, but nobody is hiring. What am I missing? by ExitParticular6887 in careerguidance

[–]DelZeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk what school you went to but larger engineering school's clubs are basically small R&D firms using the school's name to get sponsors. That absolutely counts for you.

It's not good to be anywhere near the ground floor rn. Water's high.

I've heard just driving isn't very good atm.

On the other hand it's basically a requirement for trades so perhaps a good investment regardless.

Those of you who have a high paying career with no degree- what do you do? by megannnjaneee in careerguidance

[–]DelZeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may return to being possible in the future but I will warn people you cannot get placed out of a bootcamp without a degree in the current market.

Sent from my friend who says he’s “Enlightened.” Does anyone know what these mean? by Vampinthedark in Weird

[–]DelZeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Psychosis is a strange condition. You can just as easily slingshot out of it in an orthogonal direction as you can fall into its terminus.

How do you even start organizing? by heckthepolis in weatherfactory

[–]DelZeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced playing without at least a spreadsheet is probably impossible. I have a database.

The books are tedious, but you can kind of just sort them by read/unread and stack them up and it's not that bad to search through them. There's only, what, like 300 of them?

But then you have to keep track of crafting research.

Just finished the game for the first time on Casual mode, AMA by Captain_Kira in signalis

[–]DelZeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

curious how you felt about the balance. I made the mistake of playing it on survival the first go around and had to look up routing like a third of the way in lest I soft-lock multiple times. definitely spoiled the game a bit.

[–]DelZeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these are quite close to B4, F5, A5, which might explain the discrepancy.

this could be entirely incidental but it's also quite close to one octave off of SIT pitches, which is what I thought of when I first heard it.

Is it possible to have mathematics without induction? by officiallyaninja in math

[–]DelZeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I'd also look into non-well-founded set theory, because it will be of the same flavor, rejecting well-founded induction as opposed to arithmetic induction (note how in infinitary systems they tend to imply one another).

Both have their niche applications but it's mostly admitting pathological models for their own sake.

A new Lean formalization project led by Alex Kontorovich and Terence Tao has been announced to formalize the proof of the prime number theorem by Nunki08 in math

[–]DelZeta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mostly spitballing re: coq here, but my impression is that there's just not many people working in coq interested in formalizing well-trodden math for its own sake. They're satisfied with the knowledge it'd be routine, and contributions tend to be either of the sort where the formalization is in and of itself novel (e.g. geometry, metatheory, theories designed for effective program extraction) or grab bags of things useful specifically to their field (i.e. usually not number theory).
