@quinnswm Thanks for putting the effort in + posting the straightforward definitions. I tend to get lost in definition-soup so it's nice to see things presented clearly like this.
(I couldn't resist the snarky answer... but the serious version of the snarky answer is something like: is the hypothetical outcome surprising because of a new innovation, unlikely discovery, or unlikely circumstance? Or because my prior beliefs were wrong and lazily constructed? I'd lean towards the former. The statistician's "it is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.")
@fkasummer Well, I'm a big believer in defining it operationally/experimentally. So if you just talk authoritatively about it from any stance and I'll have no experiment which can distinguish between whether you're bluffing or whether you've come up with a convincing solution.
@Michael_Moroz_ Absurdly cool!!! Special functions + Newton's method is like... the perfect denial of service attack (huge amount of effort to get robust). This in real-time next? https://t.co/AZZ3JVfggy
Happy #BlackHoleFriday!
This simulated video shows what a #blackhole system would look like up close. We haven’t seen one with our own eyes—yet—since our Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole is over 25,000 light-years away.
