That's an interesting thought, beep codes. I wonder if I can even hear them with my hearing aids. I know I can't hear my mother-in-law's pillbox beeper unless I'm next to it. Beepers are usually high-pitched, and hearing aids may not amplify sounds in that range because they are tuned to human...

I like the one in the TV show Better Call Saul: It's Saul Goodman --> It's all good, man!

As far as I know, the double pound signs (#) do work to render LaTeX. Sometimes you need to refresh your page to see it. It has something to do with pages that have no LaTeX coding and consequently don't activate the MathJax plugin, but upon refresh, the plugin does its scan and renders what...

Recent article on the Amazon AWS crash that almost brought the internet to a halt losing billions in productivity and recent Amazon reduction in staff in favor of AI. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/aws-outage-amazon-fired-workers-ai

Any dust in the connector or port? Could try some compressed air on them. I had this issue with my iPhone. A piece of dandruff got lodged inside the phone connector and made charging sporadic.

Have you tried your monitor on another computer like a laptop? Maybe it's your Dell machine that's causing the issue. Card overheating or something.

I would say yes, but it's good to get more opinions here. @fresh_42 ? @Mark44 ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation In the Wikipedia page, it basically says the same thing.

I would say that too except the OP mentioned P-Chem and people I’ve met in P-Chem were PhD Chemists who may have come from either a physics or a chemistry background. Having said that, keep in mind that terminology between the fields are different. I recall struggling with a chemists...

An alternative path would be to get into Chemistry --> BS --> P-Chem --> PhD Some folks will add in a backdoor to their plans where if things get too tough doing PhD research you can always fall back to a MS degree. Yet another path could be a Computer Science PhD where you do computer...

Yeah me too. I was hoping it was a somewhat obscure set of triples that were used in other areas of math but sadly, nothing popped up. Calling All Snowmen It's time for you to step forward and develop an Insights article about what you've discovered. You could title the triples as the Snowman...

That's an interesting point about knowing numbers. In the movie, The Man Who Knew Infinity, on the life of Ramanujan, there's a scene where Ramanujan is challenged to compute a value, and he does, and the professor who challenged Ramanujan accepts the counter and was capable of rapid...

Once you tire of these triplets, you can move onto the Euler brick and then the perfect Euler brick where no one has found a solution. That should keep you real busy with Pythagorean triplets and diophantine equations before the onset of winter snow and the Snowmen calling out your name.

Imagine a computer network that is how your hive mind might work. The central authority broadcasts messages to every member at the same time, or the central authority sends out a more selective message to certain hive members to do a task. These four basic message types can be found in ZeroMQ...

Historically, these are likely known triplets for this kind of problem similar to the pythagorean triplets.

That's a great video description of the steps needed to solve the problem, and it eliminates the complex, difficult-to-reduce equations we encountered. In some ways, it reminds me of the admonishment I received as a young undergrad trying to reduce a matrix to a simpler form, but ended up with...
