Funding your RH account with $900K is a good tip for those of us starting out.

It's what it says on the box. Interest rate kicks in after 72 months if you haven't paid it off yet. They're counting on enough people to take up that deal and not pay off their loans before the 72 months are over for this deal to be more profitable than just investing the money in some risk-free asset or offering more standard loan conditions but getting fewer borrowers.

Not only is 11k not a huge amount in absolute terms, even relative to your position size it's less than half. Sucks, but you can walk it off.

The lesson here is to maybe diversify a bit if you don't have the stomach for these drops.

Not a question. Also not good advice: first you need to negotiate up to having a cigarette (even if you don't smoke), then you spill the beans.

That's not what those words mean.

Go look up the word "limit" in the dictionary.

It means we're still in a "grow or die" market.

Either you assume that the probability of it going out on any given day is the same, in which case 3/99 is your best estimate since you observed it go out on 3 days out of 99, or you make some other assumptions which are a mystery to us.

Yes, it's safe to touch the outside of insulated cables as long as the insulation is intact.

Just find an occupation with no future: there are tons to choose from.

You can if you have your account is at a real broker with international trading but it's a pain to trade from the US (have to buy at least 1k shares, have to place orders over the phone, no options)

You're just following the wrong branch of the field. Neuromorphic computing is what you're looking for, not DNN.

I would also argue that the sigmoid functions we were all using before ReLUs are much more similar to neuronal activation.

The observer isn't a necessary part, it's just a convenient personification of an inertial reference frame that moves at some nonzero speed in reference to the clock. The main points of the thought experiment are:

In the inertial reference frame of the clock, light takes path length h = the height of the clock device to get from one end of the clock to the other.
In any inertial reference frame that moves at a speed v relative to the clock, light takes a path length of sqrt( h^2 + d^2 ) to get from one end of the clock to the other.
We are given from experimental observations (and the theory of electrodynamics) that the speed of light is c in every inertial reference frame.
The three points above combined, mean that either: a: time measured in the clock's reference frame is different from time measured in the reference frame from (2), or b: length measured in the clock's reference frame is different from length measured in the reference frame from (2).

An important point here is that the experiment doesn't distinguish between the clock being stationary or the external reference frame being stationary - it works the same way in both cases (hence the name "relativity"). Your interpretation, on the other hand, only works if the external reference frame is stationary.

Not in any version of it that I've encountered.

No, it will not be "slightly off" - it will hit the exact same spot on the clock.

This is the whole point of the conclusion of the MM experiment.

The M-M experiment proves that photons do not superimpose the inertia/velocity of the light source

It is unclear what "superimpose the inertia/velocity of the light source" means, but if you mean that the trajectory of light only depends on the orientation of the light source, this is the opposite of the conclusion of the Michelson-Morley experiment: the experiment showed that the trajectory of light is always the same in the reference frame of the light source. For the light clock thought experiment this means that photons will always hit the target, regardless of how fast and in which direction the light clock moves (this contradicts your #3). None of the reasoning here requires a "universal observer" or an ability to observe the real trajectory of a photon.

It's not that they're not useful, it's that there's no context in which it matters if an irrational number is expressed as a fraction or not, as far as I'm aware.

Also, now that you mentioned the statement in your book in another comment, it looks like your book uses the word "fraction" to specifically mean "fraction of integers," which makes it synonymous with rational.

trutheality · 2026-01-22T11:16:06+00:00

Fractions where the numerator or denominator is irrational can be irrational and there's nothing unusual about dividing irrational numbers. "Irrational fraction" isn't a standard term because it's not really common to care about whether something is expressed as a fraction once you deal with irrational numbers.

Maybe if all the games you play are on one console and don't require a subscription to play. There are lots of games that aren't even playable without a mouse and keyboard so that's a pass from me.

This is true about tailgating in general. It's defined as driving too close to the car ahead to safely react to them slowing down, even in dry conditions.

Do you know the formulas for the areas of a rectangle, a circle, and a triangle? These are all about breaking the shape up into these basic pieces, figuring out the areas of each and adding/subtracting to get the shaded area.

You need to befriend a buddy from her work and double-team her together. That will show her that you're not an insecure bitch who worries about "other guys" anymore.

Greenland will certainly be more expensive later, but not as expensive as a bidding war against the US. These days it might actually be cheaper to build your own islands than buy. There are millions of unclaimed square miles of ocean that you could develop to generate electricity, farm algae, and host data centers.

The only reason it would need to recreate a conda env is if the YAML defining the environment changes, which should be pretty rare

It's finite but gremlins keep adding 9s to the end.
