Najčešće radnim danom, ali ne uvijek. Nađe se rupa u prometu, zapravo prvenstveno treba izbjegavati petak navečer i subote. Ne garantiram za kolovoz.

Meni zna uletiti neki znanstveni razlog za ići na taj daleki sjever, pa ulovim rupe u gužvama.

Nabacio bih ovdje da u Hrvatskoj ima oko 27% visokoobrazovanih, pri čemu je Zagreb na 40%, Istra na 26%, a ostale županije uglavnom (bitno!) lošije.

Many people struggle with word problems in maths. I'd really like to see any specific correlation of word problem issues and ADHD.

Word problems are inherently synaesthetic, while technical drill ones are repetitive, boring and test for not-making-mistakes.

Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world. The point, however, is to make fun of it.

That's what owning the means of production does.

B2B market I believe is similar, though with a veneer of economic rationality to it. A company usually has (or can create) capacity to do something in-house, so it weighs its options.

PEP 20 – The Zen of Python | peps.python.org Long time Pythoneer Tim Peters succinctly channels the BDFL’s guiding principles for Python’s design into 20 aphorisms, only 19 of which have been written down.

Uhjoj. Još da je Perl, dalo bi se oprostiti loš spelling. :)

Kod Pythona je baš princip neka opća urednost i ljepota - "beautiful is better than ugly": peps.python.org/pep-0020/

Guide to French pronunciation rules:
1. "s" is always silent
2. several vowels in a row means to sound extra snobby
3. "x" is wildcard, make a random sound

You should always verify LLM output, especially if you gave it little contextual information.

It will use the dialect of whatever you may have triggered its attention to, but what it claims in the content has little reason to be more than plausible.

So, use it to get the lingo, not the meat.

My personal preference is to use naturals as if starting from 0. Very typical in CS-adjacent maths, a lot less so in physics-adjacent maths.

If ℕ starts from 0, then ℕ* excludes it.

If ℕ starts from 1, then ℕ₀ denotes naturals and zero.

Word Crunching


I 
wrote 
a poem 
on a page 
but then each line grew 
to the word sum of the previous two 
until I began to worry about all these words coming with such frequency 
because as you can see, it can be easy to run out of space when a poem gets all Fibonacci sequency

Today’s poem celebrates Fibonacci Day. It’s called ‘Word Crunching’.

It takes an exile from Putin’s Russia, writing about the theories of an exile from Orban’s Hungary, to cut through the noise about Trump’s America, from which we have nowhere left to run. Gift link to M. Gessen in NYT: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/15/o...

Quite the opposite: there are only four ministries in Oceania. There were *always* only four ministries in Oceania. ;)
