Watching #veritasium 's #youtube #video on #knot #theory is pretty bloody awesome! https://youtube.com/watch?v=8DBhTXM_Br4 I don't want to give myself to another #math #problem just yet! Defintiely worth a #watch ! Maybe a #problem for further down the line!
Really cool #story about #nasa #solving a #vibration #display #text #problem simply with some #strobing https://gizmodo.com/how-nasa-solved-a-10.. In the #hackernews #comments is a great #story about testing empty #cereal boxes with a #fan https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=344.. Genius!
The #us #immigration #problem in the #us #south appears to be getting much #worse https://www.zerohedge.com/political/texa.. The world appears to refuse to do anything about the growing and desperate #immigration #crisis .
Super interesting #problem by #standupmaths - may give it a quick go: https://youtube.com/watch?v=jOTTZtVPrgo
#jeffkauffman raises a great point about about a massive #problem with #mastodon being #spam https://www.jefftk.com/p/thinking-about-.. It's a good #decentralized #system , but not a perfect one. The #analogy is pretty good with it being like an #email #system , where each #server is an #email #provider . You still end up getting #vendor #lockin though, like you do with #email . We need to keep looking towards better #decentralization methods.
Interesting #chart #library , maybe my biggest #problem is that it doesn't appear to run without #js enabled: https://github.com/chartist-js/chartist #matplotlib will on the other hand #output an #svg perfectly well.

Pretty true #criticism of #linux #online #help https://matklad.github.io/2022/10/19/why.. It never really helps when #debugging the #problem , it only offers potential #solutions that you randomly #apply .
#modulo #bias is quite an interesting #problem https://research.kudelskisecurity.com/20.. #rejection is cool, but then you have a #random #function that doesn't #return in #fixed #time . Might be worth investigating.
I really want to #revisist the #superpermutations #problem https://groups.google.com/g/superpermuta.. I may ask a #university to #devote some serious #computation #resources as we seriously know very little about the #problem #space , only having #solutions for small values of N. I believe finding #symmetric #patterns could be a #feasible way of #drastically #reducing the #resource #requirements .
And this is a *major* #problem with #eu #vehicles - #speed #limiters built into *all* #cars by #default https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/spe.. Imagine for example you need to perform an #overtake - something that can *require* briefly breaking the #speed #limit in order to be done safely. That is just one #example where the ability to be faster is actually #safer ...
#india 's #energy is under even more #pressure as a #heatwave means people are turning on their #airconditioning to #survive https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/he.. The #problem is that they are being pushed further towards #russian #supplies , meaning they are now #politically #compromised as #germany recently #experienced .
I think generally that #programming #interviews are really crappy at judging how well a #candidate will fit into a #role http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2022/03/19/t.. I think it would be much better to give a #problem and a #laptop , then let the #interviewee #explain how they might #solve the problem - including various #considerations . If they solve the problem #theoretically , throw in a random additional problem and then ask them how they would #modify the #plan .
Cool #article on the #problem of #gif #images #displayed in #browsers https://www.biphelps.com/blog/The-Fastes.. Mad!
Interesting #problem the #uk #government are trying to tackle - in their push to #encourage #zero #emissions by reducing #roadtax , they have #reduced their own #tax #income https://committees.parliament.uk/committ..
