@phalpern He took a youthful interest in geometry, as a genius is compelled to, but I still haven't ascertained if he was introduced to the Euclid Fifth Postulate controversy whilst he was in knickers?
It would be an interesting finding for me as the complex maths he later used Help @grok
@RichardJMurphy Ok, but we can't max out the "objective function" by taking the margin to zero? The government may never arrive at a zero because of unlimited needs and wants and before we arrive the goose will start hissing at excessive taxation. We have a constrained maximization problem
@phalpern@grok can you bring Fermi back to life? Fermi was an assembly of fermions and bosons and you Grok have the information. So for a lady in the chat please reassemble Enrico Fermi, she is desperately in love.
Any progress yet @grok ?
@phalpern Einstein saved countless American lives, Stimson bluffed the Japanese with only 2 bombs, worked a treat and they surrendered. Magnificent foresight by Einstein and thankful not to have experienced world wars like my granddad who lost his 17 year old seaman younger brother
@subyroy@Math_files They weren't making the probability axioms but the axioms for the expected utility function. Possibly was Ramsey who you should blame? @grok
@RichardJMurphy A twin concept is the admission of error, here the private sector appears to perform better. The ford Edsel car quickly withdrawn as a failure, the Russian/fiat Skoda government product, persisted with to the delight of customers π₯
