I don’t understand you just say it was about finding factors, okay yeah that determines whether a number is prime. You’re not telling me anything I don’t know, I just disagree with your stance.
I was just thinking about Micheal Lewis being for tech bros what Joan Didon was for hippies. Most of the time people are remembered for their era and not themselves.
I’d argue that you’re just misunderstanding what makes a number prime. You can literally never be 100% sure a randomly generated number is or isn’t prime, it’s just the way numbers work.
If you just make up a number claim it’s prime and nobody disputes it, it’s prime apparently. I don’t think it’s really possible to have a very large prime number, because unless someone has tried every factor it’s really not prime yet, honestly that explains a lot about the elusiveness of the concept.
I know this will be perceived as “mean” or “bad discussion” but based on your comment history you truly have an unhealthy obsession with Elon Musk and that fact really scares me because on this site your vote equals ten of mine because you post all the time.
I think the opposite, we need more raw labor aimed at replicating scientific results. Today our institutions are so tiny they can hardly afford what few projects are funded to completion.
Goes to show you that a simple UX is really all you need for this type of thing if you have a lot of users. To me instagram was already better then twitter, so now I have twitter without twitter.
It’s be expected in a period of >0% inflation, most of that debt is going to be valued less in 100 years so it’s best to take it on now before the economy booms again and inflation gets back up to 70s-80s levels.
