Friend, the magazine this article is from is named Jacobin, after that political movement.

It is a US-based magazine, and it's not very popular, so it's understandable that you haven't heard of it. But it does pay to read the article before commenting.

Jacobin (magazine, wikipedia link)

Errr... am I mistaken? This is the first time I'm hearing about nationalizing SpaceX and it's from Jacobin....

Does Jacobin make a habit of calling people communists? Pretty sure they advocate for socialist positions usually....

On my Asus router, the relevent SSH screen is under Administration -> System and looks like this:

My router wasn't compromised. If it was, ssh would be set to yes, and the sus key/port would be visible here. Please forgive the ultra paranoid purple boxes.

As far as IP blocking, I'm not sure it's necessary, but I followed this link. It's pretty easy to get new IPs, so if the attacker wanted to, they would do that. It's more important to update your router.

I mean.... Ramanujan was the GOAT, but he was still able to do his proofs. That's more or less my point. He didn't suddenly convert a bunch of Oxford mathematicians to Hinduism because he was able to do incredible math proofs (i think they would have been similarly unconvinced he was a time traveller). The proof was in the pudding.... in the proofs.

In order to do Wile's proof of Fermat's last theorem, you have to invent 100 years of math from memory, something Wiles himself would (almost certainly) struggle to do, but maybe he could pull it off. I remember reading an article about Wile's proof, and he was incredibly humble about it, and described it as a collaborative effort between himself and his peers IIRC. The proof itself wasn't complete without a correction from another math academic IIRC. This thread is like, kind of a misunderstanding of math academics.

In 1875 you don't have ZFC set theory and Cantor's works are bleeding edge (I think Cantor's work is controversial and incomplete in this time... fuck it, maybe you should just work with Cantor himself if you can find him. Maybe he'd believe you. I didn't take math history IDK)

I cannot find a source to link to it now but I remember reading through Godel's incompleteness theorem, a proof of Fermat's theorem isn't possible without the extensions of classical mathematics that were developed in the 20th century.

You'll have to take my word for it on that last bit. I'm a time traveling dolphin, after all.

Anyway, that's more or less my point, you'd have to basically be an incredibly talented math professor (in theoretical mathematics, not applied) to demonstrate this proof to satisfaction to a bunch of professors in 1875. You'd also probably have to be white and male. It's just not something a casual lemmy poster can like, do, you know? There's a reason that Fermat's theorem wasn't proven for 350 years despite being accepted as true.

(edit: I am tired so this is rambley)

You get into any university, ask to get the math/physics teachers together and present it to them, this certainly will start a chain reaction.

The demonstration of the proof is actually incredibility complicated. You'd need to develop many new concepts of mathematics (all requiring proper proofs and getting your new contemporaries to agree with you) before you can preform it.

All without the use of a electronic calculator and modern computer graphing and visualization techniques.

I'm not convinced its actually feasible... You'd be recognized as one of the greatest mathematicians of all time from all the new concepts you've introduced, not just the proof for Fermat's last theorem. I'd pick something else. Like predicting an earthquake or something.

In the bottom right hand corner, you can see the words "tribute to a comic by BORS". The comic artist's website has this to say about this comic: "Tribute to that famous and cool comic by BORS".

Its fine I guess? I think he should have linked to Matt Bors's website (which is easily found on google) but whatever. It is a low effort MS paint comic, after all.

it allows you to make it cooler than just boring plain text

Agree.

People who find it annoying have grown old and boring, or are too young to have posted on a phpbb with a tacky signature.


Tryin' to make a change :-\

You should be concerned with debt/GDP ratio, not the overall number. We've had no problem paying our bills which is why in the past we have had an excellent rating. Historically our debt/GDP ratio has been in line with other nations with developed economies. Nothing unusual.

Moody's is lowering our rating because our GDP is projected to go down (due to tarrifs and destruction of the public sector) and we are going to be operating with a budget deficit. Decrease in GDP means less tax money coming in, and we will be adding to the deficit anyway (and thus our debt) due to Republican policies.

Trump has also said he didn't feel like paying the interest on the debt, which no one took seriously and he didn't follow through with. Thank god. Since most tbills are owned by US holders, not paying out bonds is a direct self-own.

Focusing on the actual debt total doesn't paint a full picture. Moody's is only concerned whether tbills purchased will actually pay.

Fucking lol. I can't believe that shit's real and from Reuters of all places.

I couldn't find the graph on an original Reuters article (they must have gotten embarrassed and pulled it down lmao), but Business Insider still has it on their version of the article

(edit: and this is just time vs murders, not time vs gun deaths, a better statistic for this)

jesus christ stop giving Ye attention. That means you, reader. Stop clicking on these articles.

One of the symptoms of bipolar disorder is "delusions of grandeur".

...But Ye is rich as fuck, and everyone keeps giving him attention, even if it's just to gawk at him. Everyone is feeding his neurosis.

This disease unravels people. It changes their personality. It robs them of their ability to sleep. It rewrites their memories. **If ** (with emphasis on "if") there is good in Ye we might never see it, because in order for him to truly get help he has to see himself as the problem.

Stop giving clicks to this mentally ill Nazi fuck, and stop giving clicks to people who platform him. Piers Morgan is a vulture.

Which, in an ideal world, is why AI generated comments should be labeled.

I always break when I see a deer at the side of the road.

(Yes people can lie on the Internet. If you funded an army of propagandists to convince people by any means necessary I think you would find it expensive. People generally find lying like this to feel bad. It would take a mental toll. With AI, this looks possible for cheaper.)
