@DJSnM I did something similar with memory-mapped IO for controls instead, which is possibly more effective (although I really have no idea how this would have worked in the early days of computer controlled aerospace)

@asmeurer @francoisfleuret Could you give a clue as to how you might encode a factorial in a polynomial?

@owenbroadcast I used to stay awake in bed for hours as a tween convinced that the loss of consciousness of sleep couldn't be any different than dying

@taktoa1 @effectfully the coefficients certainly look (from a quick inspection) to be increasing then decreasing, centered roughly around the b_215 term. unless I'm misunderstanding something, wouldn't the pattern you're describing create parallel stripes?

[Patrick Beart @BeartPatrick]

@effectfully would guess that sequences like binomial expansion which have increasing then decreasing coefficients (and therefore lengths) would lead to this pattern

@aryehazan I think it's a real tragedy you don't (I didn't) get to see any number theory beyond LCM and HCF until more or less university

@aryehazan Have you watched the video? It's pretty cut and dry, an agent approaches him with empty hands, does something at his waistband and leaves with a gun which looks like the one DHS posted, then another agent approaches and fires several shots into his back

[Patrick Beart @BeartPatrick]

@aryehazan this = being extrajudicially shot while unarmed, you = you

@sturgios Thought I recognised the exterior - probably not many other places the travels of I and the former shah of Iran have overlapped

@teodorio yeah the parallels with an iterative process are quite interesting, often doing only a second round of thinking is enough to be significantly better than people doing only one

@ubiquitousnewt I'm curious as to why money is so important, do you think having a lot more money would improve your life, or is it not consciously justifiable preference?

[Patrick Beart @BeartPatrick]

@LilUziVartan @BenShindel I think you're missing that most people wouldn't eat shit for $100 - if I'm happy to get paid £Xk to work an office job then I'm getting a good deal, and so is the company (and crucially they wouldn't be willing to pay me in all the things I want that money for)

@MagnusShalefist @blacknredtext @shrek2fanboy What a horrible way to think about the world, you want to "be kept" by a woman who's interested in your "quality"? It's not enough to be good to the people you love?

[Patrick Beart @BeartPatrick]

@aryehazan idk the combination of 2010s chud reddit smugness and pathetic pseudoviolent authoritarianism that you seem to have been increasingly overcome by

[Patrick Beart @BeartPatrick]

@etirabys Also this sort of thing gives you ideas about stable ways-to-be that are totally outside your experience, that you might emulate more productively than totally invented and therefore not necessarily stable ways-to-be

@Benjaminfash23 @adisaolashile Is that an ethnic group?

[Patrick Beart @BeartPatrick]

@emmadmazhari like only hiring developers with a riced terminal lol, it's the "bare minimum" to signal that you care about being perceived as part of what you think the elite in your field is
