I'm trying to install a gentoo prefix on my aarch64 mac right now. Seeing this gives me hope that I may figure it out (although I have some 3 build failures so far).

Never liked vlc. Only used mpv and mplayer before that. A few times I had some problems with mpv and forumposts have insisted "just use vlc", and it never helped. First time I installed it for such troubleshooting I noticed there was no manual, just a mile long help print. I just uninstalled it right there, that time.

Am I just not finding it or is there no link to the actual report?

Oh, maybe thats where I'm getting it from then. I know other swedes who have reacted that way to hearing an italian answering the phone.

Is it just to swedes "pronto" sounds like it would mean "hurry up"? Or is that everyone?

Played that so much on an Amiga CD32 as a kid.

Depends on what you mean by marginal. String theory is still by far the largest research direction in the quantum gravity subject.

This is how I handle code at work, almost. Program not working? Who has the last commit on the code? You get the question!

Should you at the very least not have the energy difference between something like 20°C and whatever the max is (100°C for water, as you put). All the energy down to 0K will not be possible to extract. This should favour sand even more.

Come on! You need those red crosses to know it fails as it should. Thats what I would say they are there for :-)

There are several problems here. One being you cannot train every nurse or everyone self-adminestering the medicin to be a professional in it. Which was the hidden assumption made in the course. So "test it exactly like that" does not really work.

In my ethics course during the phd program, I was told this was actually a good thing. Their example was pharma companies know how to use their drugs better so they get better results, more true results. If that was true, it's unfortunate it's not the pharma company that also handles treatments then. That course also said that software patents does not exist as a concept.

Well, the current government said they wanted an explosion of adhd cases before the election. Then it was because they all the imigrants that grow up to be criminals were undiagnosed adhd cases, they said. So... They are happy now? Or are they not happy about it because it did not solve crimes?

In Sweden they seem to be trying to make the first one true. A university made it forbidden to have 'any conversation that may be interpreted as political to a passer-by' anywhere on campus. It was celebrated by the minister for higher education (liberal party member) as a brilliant step against "wokeness". It was retracted, because it is not possible to enforce. But the government is doing an investigation against universities to root out "wokeness".

This! A nice additional detail is that the expansion is accellerated, so there will be some interesting things happening when the relative strength of the fundamental forces start competing with the expansion.

Not very surprising, right? He was once basically on a date with a guy, and a lot of times has he talked about how the company of other men is his preference. Sure, just some usual rightwing misogony, bit there always seemed to be something else there too.

No, the problem is very different. In string theory you have a lot of freedom to build various models, and they can provide the standard model, slight deviations from it, or something completely different. Before LHC we knew we had some version of the standard model, the hope was that the LHC would find that we have some particular deviation, like supersymmetry (susy) with such-and-such masses and particles. It did not. The prediction is susy, the problem is that the prediction (at least yet) is not exactly this type of susy. String theory says there is supposed to be a lot of extra stuff beyond the standard model, question is just how do you find it, which is made harder by string theory allowing for so many models.

These are very broad statements that are not very easy to comment on. "Every single idea", makes it sound like they are a lot, I would not say they are. "Was rejected", depends what you mean... " did not show positiv results", "no longer possible to motivate economically", sure, " refuted as bullshit", not so much. "Was made more complex", sounds like there is intent, and/or, depending on what you mean by complex, that it would be necessarily a bad thing to using more advanced maths to formulate things you could not before, and hence solve new problems.

I can mention two possible avenues of inquiry that are less than 5 years old that has sprung from string theory as possible support for it: signals of black hole structure in gravitational wave 'ring downs' of black hole mergers, and the exclusion of a positive cosmological constant. But if you know that these are untestable or rejected, I'd love to hear about it.

It's not untestable. It gives predictions and there has been tests for those predictions. The unfortunate part is that the predictions are often not very concrete, and the range of a lot of these predictions lies far beyond our capabilities. But people are looking to measure them indirectly in various ways. So it's not like it is untestable by design or anything like that.

well "saata" is closer to the pronounciation of satan in finnish, "saatana". Was it Linus you've heard?
