Sorry for the irrelevant reply, but I'm trying to get some attention on this.

This youtuber got a fraudulent DMCA notice, and his counter-notice got automatically rejected. The person who sent the notice isn't associated with the devs, and is asking for a $100 ransom to get the channel reinstated. How could this be fixed?

Any youtube people on here can help? Or anyone else have any advice?

All real numbers, and all numbers of any other variety, can be written with a finite number of symbols.

This is false. In some sense, there exist numbers that can't be referred to. We can refer to the set of real numbers as a whole, but not some of the elements. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definable_real_number

But then there are issues with defining "definable numbers", which complicates things by a lot. https://mathoverflow.net/questions/44102/is-the-analysis-as-...

The main reason that we use real numbers is because we need real numbers to do calculus, at least in the normal way. And to do physics, we need to do calculus. You can keep approximating integrals as sums of very large number of terms, but it gets unwieldy to handle symbolically.

Previous discussion on HN about the website: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33020694

For the last few days, there seem to be a lot of new users discovering the website, due to word of it spreading within the vtuber community, and a Washington Post article.

Currently, the website has been down for almost an entire day now. I assume the devs are trying to figure out how to deal with this.

The devs apparently wrote a statement which then got deleted from some reason (TLDR: They say some of the issues were unintended side effects of changes made to handle the increase in users, and the devs are trying to fix the issues. There's also a separate set of issues that were side effects from a change intended to censor NSFW stuff.) https://www.reddit.com/r/CharacterAI/comments/y03ncu/newsupd...

Some users are extremely angry, and their discord got so bad that they had to (justifiably) shut down it completely (hopefully temporarily). And I've heard of harassment and even suicide threats (Can't find the source though).

The parent comment is talking about solving differential equations. That's a very different thing from computing differentials. Automatic differentiation doesn't help with differential equations at all.

In my undergrad class, I was thought that the order is "FWGHOS" (pronounced, "fwog hose"), i.e., FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY, SELECT. (LIMIT was omitted from this.)

This acronym has "ORDER BY" happen before "SELECT", but this article have them the other way around. Does this difference ever matter?
