I sense a great disturbance in the force - millions of teens muttering "for fuck's sake" and tossing their phones onto the sofa.

The force is the sunlight that will shine upon their skin when they go outside!

Well it's Australia, this is just one more drop in an ocean of anti-youth policy...

Clearly summoning Zuul.

I don't think that's it. I imagine op would be willing to pay to upgrade to Goodnotes 6, at which point he would own that for ever, just like Goodnotes 5. But there is no option to do that.

It's enough to make a man consider Linux...

A man perhaps, but not the average frog. The frog will continue to insist that it will freeze if it dares to step out of the familiar warm pot.

Corporations coming for your soul.

Sounds like they've realised AGI isn't just round the corner, and are retrenching to productise the things their tech can do well. (which is a lot).

English lacks the word to differentiate between "public" as "no secret, out in the open" and "public" as in "free for all and gratis".

Try using a pair of words. Publicly announced vs publicly accessible.

Joe Rogan is the grand central station of the network of time.

This reminds me of the turnpike property in optimization: for some optimization problems, no matter what the initial and final conditions are, the optimal path passes through the same section. Then you can exploit this to simplify the problem as getting onto this highway and getting off at the right times.

You basically have to take a trip through Rogan's studio if you're trying to connect, say, a WCW midcarder and Roger Penrose, which is the exact curiosity this site exists to fulfill.

I think "uncertainty due to the number of trials" would be clearer.

Uncertainty in the number of successes due to the number of trials, would be even better.

That would also be an incorrect phrasing. This entire thread is a good illustration of the difficulty of speaking precisely about probabilistic concepts.

(The number of successes has zero uncertainty. If you flip a coin 10 times and get 5 heads, there is no uncertainty on the number of heads. In general, for any statistical model the uncertainty is only with respect to an underlying model parameter - in this example, while your number of successes is perfectly known, it can be used to infer a probability of success, p, of 0.5, and there is uncertainty associated with that inferred probability.)

I always loved Acorn computers. My schoolfriend and I released a commercial game on the Archimedes, and in 1994 I wrote a 3D demo suite for Acorn's new RiscPC machine (powered by ARM, of course). The good old days of hacking around!

Do you mind sharing what game that was?

Of course. It was Redshift, released by Minerva software in 1990.

Someone uploaded a video of it in action

That reminds me of arcade games of the early 90s. So that is a decent job making an arcade quality game on a microcomputer (expensive one sure... but still not a dedicated console).

Haha. Thanks man. I dimly remember it took some messing with the arm assembly to get the scrolling fast enough to make the v-sync. And also that we used the hardware mouse pointer sprite to draw the player's spaceship, to get an extra couple of colours. Good times!
