It's not just that. Check the Facebook comments on the Heimildin post about this.

Amateur is French, from the Latin "amator". My understanding is that the corresponding word for hate is "osor".

I would guess that it would then be "oseur"?

I'm old enough to remember when Spiked was a very left-wing publication.

I'm not plugged in well enough to understand what happened.

Mér finnst ekki vera nógu mikið af bílastæðum til að ég geti virkilega notið mín.

A thread🧵about formalisation and the abc conjecture.

A new Mochizuki paper was just posted! This one is unusually interesting, as it is about formalisation efforts for the abc conjecture "proof".

This is improving fast, though, so who knows how it will be in a year, say. Of course, autogenerated maths can be a mess, which might also add problems to the formalisation efforts. See my mini talk on "vibe formalisation and slop mathematics" www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXtF...

Já, en ég sé ekki að það sé mjög nálægt „kvelja“.

Já, ég meinti merkingarlega. Maður myndi halda að skyldleiki þessara orða hefði eitthvað að gera með merkinguna, djöfull að kvelja fólk í helvíti eða eitthvað svoleiðis.

En af því að „-ful-“ kemur úr βάλλω eru merkingartengslin sama og engin.

Ég fór auðvitað að grúska í þessu, og „kvelja“ er komið af sömu rót—en merkilegt nokk, samt eiginlega ekki tengt „djöfull“.

„kvelja“ er bara germönsk þróun af indó-evrópsku rótinni en djöfull er komið með krókaleiðum úr grísku þar sem það merkti alls ekki það sama og „kvelja“.

The German text of Gödel's proposition 6 which states that any omega-consistent recursive class contains 'class signs' for which neither a proof for or against it.

This is where we went wrong as a society.

Nöfn Íslendinga Í Nöfnum Íslendinga er fjallað um sex þúsund íslensk mannanöfn – nöfn sem Íslendingar hafa borið í aldanna rás og allt til nútímans. Bókin er er jöfnum höndum fræðirit og uppflettirit sem kom áður út ...

Names ending in -ar tend not to be plurals, but compounds where the first is a stem of a word and the second from -arr meaning "warrior".

Ormar is "worm warrior": mannanofn.arnastofnun.is/nafn/4619

Right now, unfolding around us on a global scale, is a rich and unambiguous lesson on the dangers of fossil fuel dependence. The most obvious solution is for the affected countries to reduce their dependence through clean energy.

Are you seeing that message in media?

Nei, sko: Borgarlína er með sérakreinar í miðjunni og er gjörsamlega fáránlegt með öllu og verður að stöðva, en borgarlína er með sérakreinar hægra megin, sem er augljóslega gott.

I think a part of it is that Americans cannot comprehend that any Iranians at all actually support the Iranian regime. It's bad from my point of view, but I'm not so naive to not know that tens of millions of Iranians believe in this kind of government.

Who would have thought they'd be angry?

I cannot fathom this view in light of the situation and the fact that Texas always votes for Republicans.
