Comment on Sufficiently Momentous by Stickman

I just got back from Utah. It was 90 almost every day I was there. Funny thing was, my phone was telling me that Seattle was experiencing a similar time with temperatures. And the day I get back it’s a much more pleasant 70.

At least Utah doesn’t have the same level of humidity. I know what people mean when they say humidity makes the difference. It’s a lot kinder than saying, “not being drenched in sweat makes the difference.”

i hope that we would be able to mass produce Biodiesel in the near future and i also hope that it would get cheaper-:~

Comment on P = NP problem solved? by Bobby Moretti

Bobby Moretti — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 20:19:55 +0000

Although there have been many claimed proofs of P != NP, this is one of the few to have much credibility, hence the excitement. But it will take months or years to verify and to repair all of the flaws that are almost certainly in there.

Also, I’m not sure that finding P = NP would necessarily shatter the field of cryptography. These deep theoretical results usually take a while to have much (if any) practical relevance. For example, although we have a proof that PRIMES is in P, the actual primality test that results from the proof is much slower than the previously existing methods.

Say someone showed that there exists an O(n^20) solution to k-SAT. It would make waves, but I don’t think anyone would worry very much about security.

Is the headline a joke, or a typo? :-)

Maybe we should organize a readthrough or discussion or presentation here—someone at FB has to have the chops to understand the paper.

Years ago I went on a hike with the Seattle Mountaineers — which was more grueling than I was in shape for at the time. I started developing cramps in the leg muscles — and some on the hike said that the cure was salt. So I ate some salt tablets and the cramps did indeed settle down and go away.

But, I was super sore for a few days after that hike.

So the obvious question: Why buy pickles if you don’t like them?

Comment on Possible Group C World Cup Outcomes by Ryan

Refereeing is hard. I think maybe the ref is getting too much flack, except that, from what I’ve heard, he can’t seem to explain what he thought happened either, so it’s hard to give him the benefit of the doubt in that situation. Nevertheless, England tied, so the US can still determine it’s own fate.

That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a ball striking a players face getting a yellow card – and to the struck player. No comment on the disallowed goal because there was a lot of pushing and shoving happening on that last goal (although it seems Bradley was the worst fouled and the penalty should have been in the US favor). I’m not sure what to think of that referee.

I like the page to check your race/ethnicity. When I check African American I always get odd looks and comments like ‘that isn’t right, you are white’.

Of course I am white. Dutch settlers in South Africa and 6+ generations of us are white, born in South Africa and now I live in the USA. I am an African American as much as anyone is.

As for the information… none of their damn business.

Yeah, the Casio EX-F1 can take some pretty dang high frame-rate video (300, 600, 1200 fps) at VGAish resolution and it can burst shoot 6mp. I’ve played around with one at Glazer’s a couple times and have been tempted, but it is just a little too special purpose for me. I will probably end up waiting for the next batch of Nikon DSLRs and that will be my next big camera splurge. Casio has built the high framerate video features into some pocket cameras more akin to the SD990 that you have, albeit at lower framerates/resolution. Canon still makes the best pocket cameras bar none imo. Hard to give that up for a limited use gimmick.
