de qué servirá calcular un irracional usando otro irracional!?

This formula, developed by Lennart Berggren, Jonathan and Peter Borwein in 1997, calculates π correctly to about 42 billion digits. It is discussed in more detail in a 2004 paper by Professor Thomas Osler.

@Octavio_01 El músico cuenta 1,2,3,4 porque marca el tempo exacto donde entra la música. El bailarín cuenta 5,6,7,8 porque la coreografía se organiza en frases de 8 tiempos, y ese conteo es el impulso de entrada hacia el “1” del siguiente movimiento.

Para los que Lloran “fuga de capitales” por el giro de utilidades de multinacionales. Vamos con los números completos, no con el relato.

1) USD 3.400M girados a casas matrices en 2026. Antes de eso, sobre esa misma ganancia, ya pagaron ~USD 2.200M en impuestos: Ganancias societario (25/30/35% según escala) + 7% cedular sobre dividendos.

2) Esas mismas empresas (energéticas, bancos, alimenticias, químicas, metalúrgicas) son las que sostienen buena parte del empleo privado formal en sus sectores, pagan cargas patronales, IVA, Ingresos Brutos, y en el caso de petroleras y mineras, regalías provinciales adicionales sobre la producción.

3) No es plata que “se fuga” gratis. Es el círculo completo: invierten, generan trabajo registrado, pagan impuestos en cada eslabón, y recién con lo que les queda después de tributar en cada instancia, pueden girar utilidades a origen. Así funciona cualquier país que quiere volver a atraer capital. 🇦🇷

Flock has 120,000 cameras tracking cars across America, no warrant required. Over 5,000 police agencies have signed on. This isn't crime fighting. This is mass surveillance of every American, and a violation of our 4th Amendment rights.

Richard Feynman (my father) divided perpetual motion machines into Perpetual Motion Machines of the First Kind, which violate the first law of thermodynamics (AKA conservation of energy), Perpetual Motion Machines of the Second Kind, which violate the second law of thermodynamics (entropy must increase), and Those Other Perpetual Motion Machines, which purport to get their energy from other laws of physics. 

The Second Kind is rarer; the only example I'm familiar with is one that my dad showed me the plans for. Once in a while, someone would come to him with a perpetual motion machine prospectus and ask if it was a good investment. One of these was a machine that claimed to extract heat energy from the air and run a generator with it. They had built half the machine, which worked as far as they could test it, and were looking for gullible investors to pay for finishing it. By carefully going over the immensely complex plans, my father and I found a "heat exchanger" that was supposed to take warm freon and cool air, and produce hot freon and cold air. Naturally, this heat exchanger was in the as-yet unbuilt portion. 

Those Other Perpetual Motion Machines get their energy from heretofore unknown physics, like cold fusion, vacuum fluctuations, or secret new physical laws that will be disclosed only on the payment of $1,000,000. These are worthy of much more serious physical investigation, since it is entirely concievable that someone will discover a new easy way of making energy. 

Back around 1970, my father went to a public demonstration of one of Those Other Perpetual Motion Machines. He discovered an electric cord running out of the back of the machine, plugged into the wall. When he unplugged the machine and pointed out to the inventor that a perpetual motion machine that had to be plugged in wasn't really perpetual, the inventor pushed a button on the control panel and the machine exploded. Several spectators were severely injured; I believe one man lost an arm. The inventor sued my father on the grounds that he had caused the explosion; my father suspected that the explosion was deliberate. The trial ended up with my father not having to pay.

Para los que dicen que el periodismo debe incomodar al poder: no hacen eso cuando mienten respecto del gobierno nacional actual, protegen al poder histórico del fracaso, del curro y de la corrupción. Son los sirvientes pretenciosos y pedantes del fracaso de la Argentina. Al "poder" no se le animan.

[Traductor 🥹💕💐 @TraductorTeAma]

Nunca olviden que el organismo teóricamente más confiable para ver el historial crediticio de los argentinos, NOSIS, operó en contra del presidente @JMilei cuando era candidato y le inventaron 25 años de una asesoría en diputados inexistente.

You'll regret it if you get married, you'll regret it if you don't get married. You'll regret it if you have kids and you'll regret it if you don't. Kierkegaard said this 200 years ago as follows - whatever you choose, you'll regret it, because the problem isn't in your choices, it's in romanticizing your life. A person always finds an untravelled path alluring and mysterious. That's why the issue isn't making the right choice. It's choosing and deciding which regret you'll live with. In life, we must choose our regret.
