Think the person who posted that is Daniel Litt, math prof at UofT. Good follow on twitter, lots of little math related humour, and he posts some fun probability problems sometimes.

Well in a way it does…

It sounds like the “AI” is used to index a bunch of screenshots so you can ask it what you were doing this morning/yesterday or something? Potential major privacy issue aside, it’s another instance of the AI solution providing a really marginal benefit over what already existed. Windows 11 already had a list of every window/document you had open sorted by timestamps iirc. Which, also a potential privacy issue, but still more the point is this is a very marginal upgrade to what was already there. Although even on the privacy side, a memory of X document or folder being open at time Y is less of a potential breach than the contents of the document being visible and searchable.

Microsoft is once again delaying the roll out of its controversial Recall feature for Copilot Plus PCs. The software giant had planned to start testing Recall, which creates screenshots of mostly everything you see or do on a Copilot Plus PC, with Windows Insiders in October. Now, Microsoft says it needs more time to get the feature ready.

Feel weird correcting a meme, but that should be f(x)-L where x is between x_0 - delta and x_0 + delta. As written it looks like a definition that would only work for monotone functions.

Is this meme mirrored?

Have you talked to othet climbers about whether this is an issue that sort of goes away after some experience? If it’s going to cause you significant physical harm, I’d say look for other activities. If it’s just discomfort or something that goes away with experience, I say keep going considering you love doing it.

For sports with a problem solving aspect, I’m not sure whether sweeping is the most physical intensive activity, but curling is basically a sport that comes with a fun physics/geometry problem attached. Just don’t become a skip if you want the exercise (they don’t sweep).

Maybe in a couple of months, but it really lets its fitness go in the off-season.

easily decades ago

Decades ago (in the early 2000s) it was considered settled science and taught in schools (in Canada at least). It was studied by scientists at oil companies decades before that. It’s been known for like 50 years now, almost an entire lifetime.

it looks like a costly mistake unless they can extract interest payments from X, plus a repayment of principal once the loans mature.

Did a business genius write this?

Maybe, but for Civ 6 specifically the launcher came out a few years into the game’s lifespan, so I’m not sure they were doing it for whatever marginal revenue benefit that would be. I’d imagine selling DLC without Steam or whatever storefront getting a cut might be a motivating factor.
