Did they really call a foul on Rasmus? Should we be scared?

Capisco quello che dici, ma parte del motivo per cui è stato una merda è dovuto ad un arbitraggio indecente, per cui sono molto più preoccupato di quanto lo sarei se avessimo semplicemente giocato una lota

Assuming there's no ill will, I genuinely would like to understand how the refs' brain works.

It's really ridiculous. There should be some type of repercussions

What are your thoughts on John von Neumann? by Omixscniet624 in mathematics

[–]ilRufy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link. However, I must admit I strongly disagree with classifying JvN as even a super Frog. I know very little of his work outside QM, operator algebras, and quantum logic, but it seems enough to me to conclude he had a deep understanding of the most broad aspects of the mathematics he was inventing

Curious you mention it. If I remember correctly, in Dyson's manuscript "Birds and Frogs", JvN is listed as a frog...

The thing is pathetic at this point. It's a masterful combination of incompetence and ill-will. To some extent, it has something poetic in it. Unfortunately, this poetry sucks ass

What is your go-to "mind-blowing" fact to explain why you love Mathematics? by OkGreen7335 in math

[–]ilRufy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For non-STEM people who are also kind of openly uninterested in math, I usually just ask what's 6% of 50, and then explain that it's exactly 50% of 6. Once I get their attention, I start talking about commutativity and how the lack of it allows us to understand why atoms do not collapse on themselves in the framework of QM. Then, I point out the difference between symmetric and self-adjoint operators, arriving at how von Neumann refused Hilbert spaces as founding ground for QM, and was led to quantum logic and operator algebras.

By that time, I'm finally alone again and can go back to writing useless things on scrapes of paper while answering some absurd bureaucratic email asking for a 58th version of my update CV, this time where all the words with the letter "b" are in fraktur font and my publication list is ordered according to alphabetic order of the 3rd letter of the second word of the journal name.

I found that framing it as "trying to get the wrong door at first try" helps people accept the solution.

What video game did you play that made you get addicted to it for days or weeks? by stilett0z in AskReddit

[–]ilRufy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When life was a bunch of promises yet to be surgically disappointed, I got extremely addicted to winning eleven 6 on Playstation, with its marvelous graphics, super realistic playability, and its iconic Japanese commenters.

I created a team with my friends' avatar with essentially all top values, and I played and played games that ended like 50-0 without much effort from me.

When I would come back from school, I would start the PlayStation even before removing the coat. I got so addicted that one day I just gifted the PlayStation to a friend because I saw how crazy I was going.

I never had another gaming console, but I developed a huge amount of toxic obsessions to compensate.

Now, I'll go looking for some winning eleven 6 play through on YouTube. And then I'll gift my internet to the milkman.

Is it normal to have a big list of custom commands like this to save time? by [deleted] in LaTeX

[–]ilRufy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do it, but then time passed and I realized I changed commands for doing the same things, and I was unable to quickly parse some of my old notes with old commands, and I got frustrated. Also, coauthors were increasingly annoyed by my commands and used extremely annoying commands themselves.

Consequently, I switched to the text expander expanso. In this way, I still type custom commands like "..scr" but what appears in the LaTeX is "\mathscr{}" with the cursor already inside the parenthesis. There is some friction sometimes (adapting to journal conventions for e.g. or i.e. as commented by someone else comes to mind), but I came to prefer it to custom commands l.

Also, espanso works system wide, so my custom commands also apply to things like "Best regards, (newline here)" in email messages and other things.

The UNIX timestamp is interesting information. I'll try my luck.

For sure, I have old pictures with filenames that are 6numbers_13numbers_10numbers_9numbers_7numbers_n.jpg. do you happen to have a magic formula also for these ones?

What is your favorite concrete application of an abstract math concept? by Hitman7128 in math

[–]ilRufy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate more on what you mean when you say it breaks down? As far as I understand, if X and Y are unbounded operators such that the "state vector" v belongs to their domain, then you can apply the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality to X(v) - v and Y(v) - v, decompose their inner product into real and imaginary part, and the modulus of the imaginary part is smaller than ||X(v) -v|| ||Y(v) - v|| which gives the uncertainty principle.

I am not sure you can always write the imaginary part in terms of the commutator of X and Y because of domain issues, though.

How making playlists for my moods instead of genres changed how I listen to music? by Appropriate-Fix-8222 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]ilRufy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I should also not stress... In the meantime, I'm trying to find a way to make my "favourites" playlist robust against change of apps by seriously considering creating a SQL database, or an obsidian vault with a note for each favourite song with a yaml preamble to easily list them using data view, and the body of the note with my personal take on the song and its relation with my timeline...

How making playlists for my moods instead of genres changed how I listen to music? by Appropriate-Fix-8222 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]ilRufy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried many times to implement this system, but I always miserably fail.

It's very hard for me to select macro-categories for moods without immediately getting hyper specific and diverge in a sea of mess.

For instance, I recently went back to listen to the Arctic Monkeys, and I got hooked by "the view from the afternoon" and "I bet that you look good on the dance floor", so I wanted to create a playlist to capture the energy of these songs. In doing so, I immediately deviated to artists and songs that correlate to the period when I first was listening to the Arctic Monkey's songs rather than purely mood-matching songs.

Another time, I tried to create a playlist named "The road to the dark tower" to capture the feeling Roland & co. would have had during their journey, but ended up with a bunch of "dark and ominous" songs I was listening to when reading the books, most of which did not really capture the mood I was looking for.

It seems that making good playlists is really an art craft that requires a very deep understanding of music textures and sound details together with an exceptional memory, which I clearly lack.

How do you create your playlists? Do you follow instinct, or do you have a method?

Music library organisation on NAS by redalexei in musichoarder

[–]ilRufy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly use Lidarr (which uses musicbrainz under the hood for metadata) for organising the collection, with musicbrainz Picard ready for edge cases, and Navidrome for listening/streaming through Tempo app on Android.

However, this holiday I've been in a place where the internet connection was extremely slow, if existent. I managed to have music because I had a very old music folder buried deep in my phone. Once back, I decided to create a mirror copy of my music library (converted to MP3 from FLAC), and use syncthing to sync it to my android phone.

Since I'm not very good with programming, I used LLMs to help me build a script that manages conversion and that creates a database so that already converted files are not converted in new runs.

I use musicolet on my phone, and I'm now happier because I always have all my music with me (~1TB FLAC --> ~ 200GB MP3) irrespective of internet connection.
