New math came out of it, they figured out more and more efficient ways to figure out the solution to “is this prime?”
Those same math techniques can be used for other problems, and possibly learn something that solves a problem you actually care about.
Research is important because you never know what weird problem someone is working on might solve. Maybe it will provide a new math solution that creates better CGI, maybe it’ll finally create a technique to solve fusion.
Maybe it’ll just be something that we know now that we didn’t know before. There are FAR FAR FAR more wasteful things in the world than some nerds trying to solve big prime numbers.
Sync for Lemmy.
Here’s the source of their comment.
Why is anything worth the effort?
Cause research into primes makes computer security stronger. Cause research in general can make new discoveries that can lead to unexpected improvements in life.
Cause we need to know the answer to everything.
Cause it’s better than mining crypto or doing AI training models over and over.

2 to the power of something, then subtract one to make it an odd number.

Did you set up SPF and DKIM? It helps Google know you are not a spammer.
I recently switched to a self hosted FreshRSS. I used Feedly for probably a decade tho.
It makes more sense to have a server downloading and consolidating the data from the various sources, rather than syncing and downloading from dozens or hundreds of sources to build the feed in real time.
It’s technically possible to do it all client side, but it would put more load on the RSS sources, and be a much slower user experience.
At least he steals his ideas from good sci-fi.
Wonder who he pays to summarize them for him.
They’re assuming zero maintenance and all that’s needed is refueling. I think if they have any anomalies they’ll need to pull the booster to another location for inspection/repair.
Which is great, but as soon as one tower is out, then you’re back to N towers.
And makes turnaround much faster since it’s already back on the launch pad.
Though it does make it so a damaged launch pad from either an abnormal launch or landing can stop all launch progress until things are rebuilt. We’ve seen the very reliable Falcon 9 damage the drone ships with a hard landing.
Would be interesting to see more than the two launch towers created to create more redundancy.
Wonder what international event 6ish years ago brought that image to the forefront…
Doping is a common term in electronics, it’s just that the article is on Top Gear so they didn’t explain it well.
We’ve always had to pay for quality, buying crap on Amazon is always going to be a tossup. There’s plenty of stores out there where you can buy good stuff, you just have to be willing to pay more than slave wages for it.
It’s tough out there, but there’s plenty of quality stuff if you look in the right place.
10912·2 months agoThat article in Signal is bogus. It is entirely based on speculation from how funding comes in, and also either ignores, or misunderstands how Signal fundamentally works.
The EFF recommends Signal, and it’s one of the most secure ways to communicate.

You can make your own decisions, but if you just grab any random arguments, you’ll find a reason to doubt everything.
No, it’s not “like a person who can think.” Unless you mean it’s like an ADHD person who got distracted halfway through the transcript and started working on a different project in the same file.
