How does a Jan/Feb holiday affect this year’s March number (that was reported in early April)?

I’m not talking about the Feb number that is reported in March.

Worth mentioning https://github.com/yazaldefilimone/ffmpreg, another rust rewrite of ffmpeg (apparently from scratch, not translated)

As recommended by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47021252 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47020412

I haven’t used any of these alternatives myself.

I am also not a fan of automatic fraction.

BTW, I notice that both of your complaints will be addressed in the next version:

I think social biases (e.g. angry black women stereotype) in your paper is different from cognitive biases about facts (e.g. number of legs, whether lines are parallel) that OP is about.

Social biases are subjective. Facts are not.

Reminds me of Yasha Berchenko-Kogan’s excellent answer to the question “What do grad students in math do all day?”

https://www.quora.com/Mathematics/What-do-grad-students-in-m...

a bit like trying to explain a vacuum cleaner to someone who has never seen one, except you're only allowed to use words that are four letters long or shorter.

What can you say?

"It is a tool that does suck up dust to make what you walk on in a home tidy."

Your question prompted me to look up “cost of goods sold”.

From https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cogs.asp

Cost of goods sold (COGS) refers to the direct costs of producing the goods sold by a company. This amount includes the cost of the materials and labor directly used to create the good. It excludes indirect expenses, such as distribution costs and sales force costs.

So the $550 or $650 COGS includes the cost of labor for manufacturing, but excludes (say) marketing and auditing costs.

Just these past few days, a fatal accident in China killed three college students in a car fire and the victims could not unlock the car door.

https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-xiaomi-says-activ...

Chinese newspaper Economic Observer earlier reported that local traffic police had told the father of one of the victims that the car had caught fire after hitting the cement pole, and the car key had not unlocked the door.

Another similar recent story, with more technical details: https://9to5mac.com/2024/08/02/developers-trick-app-store-re...

When the app is opened for the first time, it waits a few seconds to call the geolocation API. This way, the App Store’s automated review process doesn’t see anything unusual in the app’s code. We also checked the app’s behavior by running it through a proxy to fake our location to San Jose, California. For this location, the app never reveals its hidden interface.

After Apple approves the app with its basic functionalities, developers use CodePush to update it with anything they want. The app then reveals its true interface in “safe” locations.

Interesting Reddit discussion: When a user compliments the alpha release being lightweight and free of memory leaks, the discussion quickly moves to how the MVU design pattern in the GUI library (iced) might have helped.

What is that South American flag? Is it a map of South American nations, like the globe for the “Overview Map”?

I can recognize all other flags: EU, Australia, US (sorry Canada), Hong Kong, African Union, but not South America.

Hong Kong flag for Asia is why the flags caught my attention :)

A few Reddit comments appear to agree at that non-mathematicians (e.g. amateurs and game programmers) use geometric algebra non-rigorously.

I suspect the issue is not about mathematicians who know how to be rigorous. Both posts are complaining about how mathematical outsiders are using and teaching geometric algebra non-rigorously.

This is the second time I’ve heard geometric algebra lacks rigor. The first time:

even by the 90s/00s, GA had gotten a bad reputation because of its tendency to attract bad mathematicians and full-on crackpots

those reasons disproportionately attract people who are not actually capable of rigorous mathematics, or are slightly prone to conspiratorial thinking, or are otherwise slightly deranged

if you look around for papers that explicitly talk GA, they are very disproportionately (a) non-theoretical, (b) poorly-written, (c) trivial, i.e. restating widely-known results as if they’re novel, (d) only citing other GA papers, and of course (e) just plain crackpotty

Genshin Impact from miHoYo is also a PRC AAA game before Wukong, but it’s a copycat of the Japanese ACG culture rather than the Chinese culture in Wukong:

Looks like the Tiktok ban in the US is working. As a side effect, WhatsApp is unbanned in China to appease the US.

using fireworks to destroy property

Which part of the video has the imagery you claimed? I can see police firing teargas and protesters throwing them back at the police, but not protesters using fireworks themselves to destroy properties from the video.

Many parts of the North Korean missiles turn out to be fake:

https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15256392

The Ukrainian government analyzed around 290 parts, believed to be from the KN-24 or KN-23 short-range ballistic missile produced by North Korea, with Conflict Armament Research, a British investigative organization.

The manufacturer said it analyzed a photo of the bearing sent by The Asahi Shimbun and concluded the part is counterfeit.

But the group said it confirmed, after contacting the companies concerned, that multiple components were counterfeits of parts produced by European-based makers.
