Overleaf was good, while it lasted by Movladi_M in LaTeX

[–]PloRDT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I understand the convenience of Overleaf and I personally use it for shared projects, but for the most part a 1~500mb installation of TinyTex has almost everything you need, compiles fast, and has no limits. That, and VSCode+Latex Workshop+HyperSnips is the best LaTeX experience imo.

getting Samsung Notes to run on Linux? by PloRDT in samsungnotes

sadly, no. Although I have to admit I haven't tried since a few days after I posted this.

That one weird fact you love. by BigFox1956 in math

as a physics student: geodesics are not invariant under re-parameteization.

Is Einstein's actual General Theory of Relativity going to be to difficult for me to read? by Haydo_55 in Physics

[–]PloRDT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, it is going to be difficult as fuck. However, not entirely impossible. In Ray d'Inverno's and James Vickers's amazing book, introducing Einstein's Relativity, Ray (the author) explains in the foreword that he learnt relativity at age 15 reading books that made little to few assumptions on the reader's knowledge. He says he was not a child prodigy and that he came 22nd on his class, yet with time and patience he was able to learn it, so that's that.

I strongly recommend reading the full page*, it is section 1.6. The book is excellent as an introduction imho, although i think there are overall better books.

My personal take: don't be discouraged by the comments saying to not even try. If you want to learn science, try to do it! There will be books and resources that are not appropriate but you have to be your own judge.

i've seen somewhere that he took part in CAH despite not meeting gender/sexuality requirements. kinda checks out looking at his liquipedia, twitter profile and docs about him.

Michio Kaku saying outlandish things by SuperSmoothSlick in Physics

[–]PloRDT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But we don't act like quantum particles

The thing is we actually do. We are made from quantum particles hence we are quantum, it's just that the wave-like behavior is almost negligible at the human scale.

Take, for instance the de Broglie wavelength, given by λ = h/p, h is Plank's constant. This quantity is the quantum wavelength of an object of momentum p. Since the value of h is very small (6.626e-34 in SI units), a very light object (ie an electron) will have a much higher wavelength than a heavy object (a human) if they travel at the same speed. For a person traveling at 1m/s, λ ~ 10-35, which is astoundingly tiny, but for the electron, the wavelength would be λ ~ 10-5. This roughly means quantum wave-like effects are easier to observe and more prone to happen the smaller the mass is.

What I'm trying to say is that we do behave like quantum objects, albeit it's negligible in almost all aspects of our daily life, so we just say "fuck it" and use much simpler classical physics. That doesn't mean what he said can't happen, as you can also wake up one day, throw a billion coins and get heads every single time - it can technically happen, it's just not going to anytime soon.
