When? Can you be more precise?

Same question from me. Surprised how far I had to scroll to see that this obvious question was already asked.

Due to dissolved carbon dioxide.

Tumblr cap from user @greenishness Follow As part of her social media detox this girl on YouTube made herself do one hour of understimulating tasks every day and she just counted rice for 60 minutes straight because its no different from doomscrolling in terms of wasted time ... @greenishness When I say this changed my life. Every time I'm on my phone l ask myself Is this different from counting rice for one hour ? and if the answer is no I go find something else to do. It works well because it's not about conforming to productivity standards or about moralizing digital hobbies it's just an honest reflection on whether tomorrow I will be glad I spent my time this way and then acting accordingly. The rice paradigm

I…maybe needed to see this right now

Not happy about the lack of symmetry in the optimal configuration.

Can it be posted in Klingon?

We are close to a new tool to convert LaTeX to PreTeXt. Tested it out at a workshop last week and am now fixing bugs found in testing.

The answer is "obviously no". The next question: is there an easy proof, and is that proof easy to find?

This is devastating. PhET is such a huge project for high school physics education.

@aimathematics.bsky.social is awesome, exhibit 52531

What is the word that means: you believe the data only when it supports the conclusion you want.

1.4 Exercises 1. Converting symbols to words. Use the statements below to complete the next exercises. - Statement p: cats are insects - Statement q: dogs are mammals - Statement r: fish are not vertebrates (a) Form the compound statement p (logical and) q. (drag and drop exercise with the words and, are, or, not, cats, dogs, fish, insects, mammals, vertebrates; a green button labeled Check Me; a brown button labeled Reset) (b) Form the compound statement q (\logical or) (\logical not) r. (similar drag and drop exercise, cut off in the screenshot)

Hey #PROSE folks, thanks for the office hours! I managed to get one of my exercises working thanks to the resources you shared! #MTBoS #MathSky

Google search results says: National Institute of Justice (•gov) https://nij.ojp.gov › topics › articles › undocumented-im.. immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than U.S. citizens. No information is available for this page. Learn why

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.

The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

What works (or worked) for a famous and successful author, says nothing about what is best for a typical student.

Iteration is the best mechanism for most people to produce good writing. Most students choose the easy way with no learning, instead of putting in the work to learn.

It is nonsense that you need 3 different ways to refer to a equation, or a bib entry, or something else. If the label is in an equation, interpret \ref{} as \eqref{}. Similarly if it is in a bibliographic entry.

The common clearwing: one of my favorites. Usually lets you get quite close to it.

I hope you were being sarcastic.

Me, too! December 1994.

+1, except for the phone games

The workshop in question will be funded by a grant which has not yet been awarded. That grant will have conditions. We don't know all the details yet, but some requirements seem very likely. I don't think it makes sense to plan an activity which will have to be canceled later for lack of funding.

I think "capitulating" is a bit strong. If we canceled the workshop, or changed it in a way that was inconsistent with the goals of the organizers, that would certainly be capitulating.

As some organizers have already replied, that saves me the effort of pointing out that they determine the scientific content of an AIM workshop. They are the domain experts; the AIM staff help the organizers craft a workshop to meet their goals.

I realize some commenters are not familiar with AIM.

This is an AIM workshop. There will be few talks, and nobody has yet been invited to give a talk.

Should have added: Week of July 21

We have been making changes to the website. Things should be better shape in the next week or so.
