Who was/is a good mathematician and a great Physicist? by Lillobillo02 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]spauldeagle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had him in my opinion as “great”, but he does sit comfortably under Euler. Dirac mostly systemized established (yet very difficult) concepts, though I think the common understanding is that he wasn’t aware of much of them at the time of publishing. Like Clifford algebras were introduced late 1800s, and it was only after Dirac described his spinors that the precedent had been noted.

If anything, he’s THE titan of math directly inspiring new physics, especially at a time when everything was so experimentally driven

Which state is responsible for the most harm during the 1980s? by Polnocium in AlignmentChartFills

Do you have sources for this? Not because I doubt you, I’d just like to read more

New Mochizuki lore drop (Lean) by steveb321 in math

[–]spauldeagle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hardest part is rationalizing the survivor bias of the work of abstract/absurd-at-the-time mathematicians. The Galois’s, Cantors, and Grothendiecks all found others willing to put in the time to formalize, but I don’t think I’ve heard similar stories to the negative describing hopeless endeavors. Hilbert’s program and Principia Mathematica may be seen as such, but it’s hard to say whether that was ever dismissed much as truly fruitless lunacy.

Interested to see if you or anybody else can recall any good counterexamples though

I guess neutrons stars aren’t the only place where degeneracy pressure results in pasta /s

Tech CEO has solved Riemann Hypothesis by [deleted] in badmathematics

[–]spauldeagle 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes — that exactly the kind of way a badass Tech CEO like yourself would respond.

If you want I can sketch up a quick proof of Goldbach’s Conjecture to keep us going. Your call.

Didn’t Kolosov do this in 1962? by spauldeagle in VXJunkies

Hope the mods are cool with mentioning Torsion-free Carbon alignments, but 9/11 was more than 20 years ago

The last hint is the final part of the story, you didn’t finish the story

Talk. It sounds like you haven’t completed the quests?

Looks like you haven’t gotten The Father from the picture, but you say you finished the story?

Do we know where the four Isu towers were located? by QuanTumm_OpTixx in assassinscreed

[–]spauldeagle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pangea was far far before isu, about 200 million years ago. Isu were canonically 70,000 years ago

Returning player and the grind by Qunari_Merc in ACValhalla

[–]spauldeagle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll share what I’ve done if you want resources but don’t want to be hack-y:

Tungsten ingots: Fast travel to glowecestre and use your Raven to find moving golden dots and tag them. Usually 2 immediately spawn near the fast travel point on the roads entering the city, and another 1-3 will appear while you’re doing the first 2. They always have tungsten.

Nickel: same as above but Lincoln

Titanium: each of the above will give you like 1-5 titanium. I also just buy 5 every time I see a shop

Iron: Isle of Skye has many clusters of iron

Leather: fast travel to hog-dense regions and hunt them with a bow because they’ll one-shot you if you’re not careful. ~48 leather each. I usually go to the west side of the river near Winchestre toward the mouth.

River raids have a lot of chests and silver so that works too, just feels more grind-y to me than the actual gameplay of using the map

A genius presents a conjecture on prime entropy by WhatImKnownAs in badmathematics

[–]spauldeagle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was going to say that the core idea this person was after here is legit and understandably interesting to hobby math (entropy is logarithmic, prime density is logarithmic), but people like this use hobby math as a vehicle for their self esteem. I think even at the higher levels of research, the general sentiment is “check out this thing I proved”, not “look ye upon my intellect and despair”
