So what's the situation with silicon? Are we still running out? Have there been any breakthroughs recently regarding making chips smaller and more efficient, with or without silicon?

This shit openly violates and mocks all mathematical sense

This pretends to be a definition for a mathematical structure. A Lie algebra. But there is no "identity" defined in a Lie algebra and yet the commutator is equal to the identity times a constant. The trace of a commutator is always zero yet the trace of the identity is never zero.
This is like writing 0=1 as a physical axiom.

What's with the stupid amount of theories of everything that popped out of nowhere in 2020? All of them ended up being mental masturbation shit.

Sars-CoV-2 Spike Protein Activates Human Endogenous Retroviruses

This needs to be seen.

>https://phys.org/news/2022-01-sars-cov-spike-protein-human-endogenous.html

>"On Tuesday, a real zinger was dropped onto the medRxiv preprint server that could potentially explain many of the commonly observed pathogenic features of SARS-CoV-2. The authors provide solid evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein activates the envelope (ENV) protein encoded by HERV-W in blood cells, which is in turn directly responsible for many pathological features of the disease. HERV-W is named for the fact that many retroviruses in the group use a tryptophan tRNA in the primer binding site. Apparently, the shape of the letter W somehow reminded the naming committee of the shape of the ring structure of atoms in the side chain of tryptophan."

This needs more discussion. What are the implications?

When should I care about complex numbers?

No.14153932 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I'm a very slow learner, it can be years after I "learned" something that it finally clicks. I have done exercises on complex numbers, gone to lectures, passed exams, watched a bunch of videos; Very little of it has stuck and I have never used them for anything useful.

I think I've had insight recently. Below is a comprehensive list of everything I know about complex numbers

1) They're not Real
2) They exist because there needs to be a way to find the roots of all polynomials
3) There is geometry involved. A function in 2 dimensional real space produces a line, in 2D complex space it's a plane. Or something

Anyone else notice elevated heart rate after covid? It’s not significant enough to notice when I’m moving around but if I drink alcohol I notice my heart rate increase.
