⏳ La plus longue expérience de labo du monde En 1927, un physicien australien verse du goudron chaud dans un entonnoir. Depuis 1930, il coule. Goutte… à… goutte. Bilan : 9 gouttes en 96 ans. Et personne ne les a jamais vues se détacher. 🧵⬇️ 📷 John Mainstone / Univ. of Queensland

Entonnoir en verre rempli de poix noire, d'où pend une goutte au-dessus d'un bécher, sous une cloche de verre.

Desmos solves it too, but I’d like to assign the solution to a variable. Can it do that?

Yes and I’m surprised it wasn’t named before 2007, because surely many people noticed it as soon as calculators became ubiquitous, which is to say in the 1970s…

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

Mais non, vous ne comprenez pas la brillance d’Attal. Les politiciens ordinaires prônent souvent le changement; mais lui est adepte du DOUBLE CHANGEMENT avec retour à la situation antérieure. C’est deux fois plus fort! 💪💪🤯

Ah but the pseudonym itself apparently dates from 1988, and… I’m not sure if it’s that date or the actual birthdate of its owner that should count.

The animation gives a better idea than any list: the neighbourhood is not made of Suns like ours. It is a cloud of red dwarfs, with rare luminous stars, purple brown dwarfs and green planets. - Catalogue: Reylé et al. 2021, A&A -> arxiv.org/abs/2104.14972 - Maps: gruze.org/10pc/resourc...

Et avant cela, James Joyce a habité rue du Cardinal Lemoine non loin de la Contrescarpe…

Porte grillagée d’une impasse donnant sur le 71 rue du Cardinal Lemoine. Il y a deux plaques à droite de la porte:

Première plaque:

James JOYCE (1882 - 1941)
écrivain britannique d'origine irlandaise accueilli par Valéry Larbaud, a achevé ici son roman Ulysse, ouvrage majeur de la littérature du vingtième siècle.

Seconde plaque, à droite de la première et un peu plus haut:

Valery LARBAUD (1881 - 1957)
Poète, romancier, essayiste, traducteur
vécut ici de 1919 à 1937

The sun and two planets begin in a straight line. The blue planet orbits the sun in 60 days. After 96 days the sun and the planets are aligned again. How long is the orbit of the red planet? #UKMathsChat #iTeachMath

Two concentric circles represent the respective orbits of two planets. The inner planet is blue. The outer planet is red. The positions of the planets are shown after 0 days and 96 days, representing consecutive alignments of the three bodies.

1/60 - 1/x = 1/96 ⇒ 1/x = 1/60 - 1/96 = (96-60)/(96×60) = 1/160 ⇒ x = 160 days

This is an impossible task: selecting "the nine records that shaped your taste." These are not my favorite albums—they aren't even my favorite albums by these artists. They are albums that changed the kind of music I listened to. Make your own grid at my9albums.org

That would certainly be nice. Otherwise that famous Donald Knuth quote would keep playing in my mind: “Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.”

It’s not really “predicting the next token” the way that the digit recognizer is “predicting the digit label” because in the latter case there is a digit label to predict but in the former case there is no objectively correct “next token”.

Every single time I posted political content with no exception I got a lot of hateful/angry comments on Instagram. Yesterday I posted about the student protests in France so I was kinda expecting some insults, and… Nothing. Just 200+ nice comments. I wonder if it could be connected to this.
