How important is it that we cultivate the capacity of the human mind to search for its own meaning through culture separated from the collective conscious? What can we reach when we search or relate to things (like books) on an individual level?

phys.org Examining how atomic nuclei vibrate with a greater degree of precision

Using ultra-high-precision laser spectroscopy on a simple molecule, a group of physicists led by Professor Stephan Schiller Ph.D. from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) has measured the wave-like vibration of atomic nuclei with an unprecedented level of precision.

How important is it to have tables upon tables about how things actually interact? I'd say that's pretty important.

What is your favorite technology? What makes your like it like that?
  • Computers. There is no limit to what they can do. You put a computer to measure time, temperature, the weather; and you can use it to plot all those things in nice graphics. The way you can make computers relate to nature just outline how fundamental it is to science.

    What website/app do you use to read ebooks?
  • I lost access to one of my Amazon accounts, and it isn't easy to recover. They give you the option to make a paid international call to recover your account, since I don't live in the United States. Can't possibly recommend it. If you lose your account, you lose all the books you bought.

    I think kobo identifies your Wi-fi network, but ever since I found out amazon puts you through this, the book buying (actually renting) lost its charm to me.

    I would go with whats available freely on the Internet. I use "filetype:pdf" on Google to find books, for example.

    Did anyone else's GRUB got fucked after yesterdays update too? My GRUB installation is not working.

    I'm having problems with Manjaro again, always after those big updates. Anyway, I'm moving from Manjaro since it seems it will not work (authorization isn't working properly). I already tried Ubuntu before (used it for 3 months), but moved on since file management in Ubuntu is pretty bad (had to use terminal to copy files and format drives because system wouldn't recognize me as administrator). I've been using Manjaro for 4 months and it's really good, the update problems ruin it.

    Anyway, I was thinking of moving on to something like Linux Mint, Debian or Fedora. I wanted something with support and with people that care for the code. What do you guys suggest? I ask because I don't want to encounter another distro changing problem with my next distro.

    Ukraine: French ISPs censors rt.com
  • That's true. Sorry for not knowing how fucked up this world was back then.

    It's because I was told that in times of pressure, freedom of information or civil liberties wouldn't be affected. But this was just dumb thinking.

    I was told that this was better, and that this would lead us to an answer. That's why I believed that this wouldn't happen.

    This book introduces relativity results to the general public. It invites people to think about the mathematical results and discusses the different forms of mathematical transformations. It's basically an extended version of what we read in science news about relativity, but written by Einstein himself.

    Gigablast at work

    Gigablast fetching results from inside pdfs. You may think "ah, but surely Google does this", but you're wrong. I searched for infinite dimensional spaces and Gigablast prioritized the content of the pdfs and not the title. It came up with results that made a lot more sense than what Google does. And it fetches a lot, I looked at more than 100 results for this search only (searx fetches much less) and they kept making sense up until the 100th result.

    To do this, include ext:pdf or filetype:pdf depending on your search engine.
