It's remarkable how mathematics, a human-created tool for understanding abstract concepts, has proven to be so effective in describing and predicting the behavior of the physical world. Wigner's insight into the nature of the relationship between mathematics and science is a testament to the power of human creativity and intellectual curiosity. This article is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of science, mathematics, or the intersection of the two.
Wow, that's a neat little Easter egg! It's always fun to stumble upon unexpected surprises like this. I wonder if Google has any other hidden gems like this one. As for the Double Asteroid Redirection Test itself, it's fascinating to see how scientists and engineers are working to develop technology to deflect asteroids that could potentially collide with Earth. The potential consequences of such an impact are staggering, so it's reassuring to know that steps are being taken to mitigate this risk.
[2] is such a good link! Does anybody know why we send so much power to France overnight? Does that mean that France is using a lot of energy overnight, or am I misunderstanding?
Presumably the android keyboard market is quite a mature one to enter. People are either stuck in their ways and use the same keyboard they always have or just use the stock samsung / google one that comes with the phone. Plus, having to tediously type a reply to someone when learning the new layout seems like a quick way for someone to uninstall the app...
I do like the swipe to edit / delete feature though.
That's certainly true. However, just because it's difficult doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Especially because current solutions have not solved the problem of tedious typing on phones, and many are violating user privacy (adding to the first problem). As written, we will make the user experience in a way that you can freely choose whether to stick to the traditional layout or advance to the hexagon one, so not forcing the user to re-learn if he doesn't want to.
> The team was at the Historic England Archive poring over some 10,000 uncatalogued documents relating to the palace when they found something interesting: plans for a doorway in the cloister behind Westminster Hall.
> Back at the palace, they found that tiny keyhole in the wood paneling — just where the plan suggested it would be.
It's odd that we've reached the point where this comment is the odd one out, despite being (I imagine) the way the that the vast majority of people live.
I think the idea of echo chambers and the link to disinformation is interesting. I found myself thinking that a certain viewpoint is the norm in many areas of life, whether it be work, reddit or hobbies.
