Harmless chemically. The thrusters expel only compressed air (or nitrogen) at high pressure—no combustion, no toxins. The white plume is just moisture condensing from rapid expansion cooling.
Physically the supersonic jet packs serious force and can injure if you're in its path, so stay clear. Outdoors it's otherwise just air.
In 1986 a guy got kicked out of every casino in Vegas for counting cards. So he flew to Hong Kong with $180,000 and started betting on horses instead. He walked away with almost $900 million.
It's Bill Benter. He figured horse racing was just another counting problem. Same math, more moving parts.
He and a partner showed up with $180k and a computer. Benter spent years teaching that computer to guess one thing, the real chance each horse had to win. If his number was better than the odds the bookies gave, he bet. If not, he skipped it.
That's the whole trick. Expected value.
EV = p · b − (1 − p)
Only bet when your win chance p, at odds b, is worth more than your chance of losing.
This recording was never meant to be some hidden gem. Nobody expected Professor Tsitsiklis to hand the whole foundation away in 45 minutes, but that's exactly what happens on the board. Students in that room pay over $80,000 a year to sit through it. It's free right here. It's free right here.
Every quant, every professional bettor, every hedge fund analyst started with this exact hour. Benter just watched it and actually did the homework.
Almost nobody knows this lecture even exists. Watch it before it gets taken down.
The answer is in this video.
Si estás buscando crear animaciones para explicar algoritmos o matemáticas, acaban de lanzar este motor 3D en Python de código abierto.
Está pensado especialmente para usarlo junto con agentes de IA, y al parecer es mucho más rápido que Blender.

"Calculus" by Gilbert Strang is a free textbook from MIT that has become a true classic in mathematics education.
With nearly 700 pages, it provides an exceptionally clear and comprehensive introduction to calculus, covering limits, derivatives and their applications, integration techniques, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, differential equations, exponential and logarithmic functions, infinite series, polar coordinates, complex numbers, vectors and matrices, multivariable calculus, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and vector calculus.
This book is an absolute must-have for anyone approaching calculus for the first time, but also an excellent reference for reviewing its fundamental concepts. I highly recommend adding it to your personal library as a valuable resource to consult whenever you need it.

How does a rocket work perfectly well in the vacuum of space?
In a vacuum, there is no air for a rocket to push against in order to move forward.
But a rocket carries its own propellant with it. It accelerates exhaust gases backward at high speed, causing the rocket to accelerate forward. This follows the principle of conservation of momentum: as the exhaust gains momentum backward, the rocket gains momentum forward.
