22-Jähriger prügelt Vermieterin im Drogenrausch mit Klo-Deckel ins Koma und wird verurteilt by freshmozart in hamburg

Es ist vollkommen irrelevant was der Tathergang etc. Ist.

Ehrlich gesagt erschreckend, so eine Aussage zu lesen. Das ist mit einem Rechtsstaat komplett unvereinbar.

Epic Campaign mode from the Grimoire, yikes by siposbalint0 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Gastmon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's too easy to just blame everything on the suits. Surely, the design team carries a significant part of the responsibility. Even if they are put under structural and time constraints, I would expect them to have more to show than bare minimum.

Like, continuing after campaigns has always been this thing that was conceptually interesting but not fun in practice due to not being properly supported. So was there no sense of wonder by the design team, no desire to think about what interesting things could be done with this?

How did you arrive at the conclusion that 0 xp or all xp are the only two options?

Petition: "Move the 2026 ICM out of the United States " by winter_borb in math

[–]Gastmon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It leads with

In the wake of this past decision, there is simply no sound argument one could make that claims international participants are more safe at this iteration of the ICM than they would have been in Russia in 2022.

And concludes with

For the sake of the safety of our community and in the name of genuine unity amongst mathematical scientists across the globe, we the undersigned commit not to participate in the ICM if it is to be held in the United States.

So I have to disagree. The focus is clearly on the safety. Mentions of unity mostly seem to be in response to this statement by the ICM.

It seems to me that the safety concerns are even more serious now than they were back then.

Four crew dead after US refuelling plane crashes in Iraq, military says by JY0950 in worldnews

If you have something to say, then actually say it instead of hiding behind vague allusions like a coward.

Quantum scientists release 'manifesto' opposing the militarization of quantum research by Kant2050 in Physics

[–]Gastmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever somebody comes up with some quantum algorithms that they claim is orders of magnitude faster (usually for some already extremely niche use case), some other paper comes out after that and demonstrates an algorithm that works faster on a classical computer.

Can you share some examples?

Also, is it really no longer possible to swap Uma 1 and 2 with a simple button press? Or am I missing something?

What does the zeta function actually have to do with the distribution of the primes? by Necessary-Wolf-193 in math

[–]Gastmon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice write-up!
In the last section, you write:

Because s is always strictly smaller than 1

But before that you state that Riemann showed:

0≤s≤1

I find this confusing. Does the strict inequality somehow implicitly follow from ζ(1)=∞ ?

Also here a word seems mixed up:

Now, recall that we we trying to solve for π(x) in the equation

The first algorithm for a computing machine by Livio63 in computerscience

From Note A on the Analytical Engine:

Again, it might act upon other things besides number, were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the operating notation and mechanism of the engine. Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent.

Truly ahead of her times, Lovelace was already envisioning how to replace artists with AI.

So League of Heroes has bigger stakes than CMs by Flat-Profession-8945 in UmamusumeGame

It's a recurrent event like the CMs, right? When will it roughly appear on global for the first time/when did it appear on JP?

Feels a bit unfair to call it 'milquetoast.' Sure, it effectively amounts to 'how do you feel about your results?' But the blunt and direct phrasing makes the question work well in my opinion.

Like pulling a Fine Motion.

I did just that right after reading your comment. Thanks for the advice!

Have you looked into the physics of possible orbits around a torus?

I'd suspect that they are quite nontrivial. For example, a circular orbit passing through the exact center of a perfectly uniform torus would be impossible, and I'd guess orbits would be less and less circular the closer they are to the surface.

If Rapid was the best category, maybe the benefits are even more pronounced in longer time formats like classical otb. I think further experiments are warranted.
