hello there the jacobian conjecture is false thanx to my close friend akhil for asking about it and my other close friend fable for working during the world cup final

((1+xy)^3 z + y^2 (1+xy) (4+3xy), y + 3 x (1+xy)^2 z + 3 x y^2 (4+3xy), 2 x - 3 x^2 y - x^3 z): \C^3\to \C^3, has jacobian determinant -2, and sends (0, 0, -1/4), (1, -3/2, 13/2), and (-1, 3/2, 13/2) to (-1/4, 0, 0)

Flight attendant comes over intercom: “your flight is oversold, I need two volunteers to take a flight this afternoon for a $300 voucher.”

I spring into action. I was born for these moments. This is why I studied game theory. Literal tingles. I pull out my megaphone and address our boarding gate: “guys, they absolutely must off board at least two passengers or this bird isn’t taking off. Every 3 minutes they will increase their bid by $200. If we all hold out for 45 more minutes, 2 of us can make nearly 5 grand each. Textbook prisoners dilemma, this is (3,3) in its most visceral representation. I’m not even going to give up my ticket but I know value when I see value. Let’s make Nash proud ladies and gentlemen. Do not acquiesce. Do not defect.”

Anyhow 2 people immediately accepted $500 and I called them retards on my megaphone and was placed in a detention room by airport police. This is why we study game theory.

A new hire asked for a second monitor today.

He said he needs more "screen real estate."

I looked at his desk.

He had a picture of his dog. He had a coffee mug. He had a stress ball.

I swept them all into the trash.

I said: Here is your real estate.

Physical clutter creates digital clutter.

If you can't code on a single 13-inch laptop screen, you aren't a developer.

You are a tourist.

I took his laptop charger too.

Now he has 4 hours of battery life to finish his sprint.

Deadlines are real.

So is power management.

Earn the volts.

If your CI/CD pipeline takes 40 minutes, it's not continuous. It's ceremonial.

i have found two duplicated uuids:

0b67ac1e-4876-46b9-9801-d2152da13f7f
0b67ac1e-4876-46b9-9801-d2152da13f7f

i recommend removing this uuid from your database

we are monitoring the situation closely

ref struct can now implement interfaces and participate in generics. Excited to see all of the ways the community finds to use this

@markrendle I suspect there are about 10 C# developers in the world who can use volatile correctly without thinking *massively* carefully about it. I'm not one of them... and it's possible that I've expressed that number in binary.

Chen’s paper has a bug, independently discovered by Hongxun Weng and Thomas Vidick, that he doesn’t know how to fix. If I understand correctly, in its current form the paper doesn’t yield any improvement on prior algorithms.
