Am I the only one who likes what King Crimson did until the 70s, and does not understand the direction they went with Discipline? I have tried listening to it and later albums, but I never got it. Anyone here can help me better appreciate King Crimson's music from the 80s on?

Is the option to buy prints still there? Some services offer the possibility to buy prints on canvas tied on a wooden frame, possibly manually retouched, which look much like an actual picture you can hang in your living room

How sad to think of a post industrial division of labour for mathematicians.

A book on commutative algebra https://github.com/andreaferretti/commutative-algebra/ Currently, I am writing the second volume.

It's not that I don't care about the outcome. I really hope it will be useful to many students, and I mean to publish it. But I am writing it primarily for me, as a way to keep being involved in mathematics even if I am not doing actual math research anymore

Lindy hopper from Italy! We keep following some Zoom lessons, although it's not like the real thing, but at least we spend some time dancing! :-)

Actually, the Suzie Q is a step in lindy hop, so probably the character takes the name from that.

Why not? It's a stereotype for pure mathematicians to like what they do because it's not applied, even though - like all stereoptypes - it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

The thing is, once something is applied, it has to deal with all the complexity and uglyness of the real world. But if you stick to abstract ideas, you are only limited by your imagination and logic. The mundane aspects of an applied field can detract from the pure beauty of an abstract subject.

I am not saying that this is always true, and sometimes it is nice to see applications of some abstract concepts. But many people intentionally shy away from applications towards a more theoretical field.

Yes, for some details look at http://fermatslasttheorem.blogspot.com/2006/01/lams-proposed... or https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/953462/what-was-lam...

Yes, Lamé solution, which assumes unique factorization in the rings of integers of cyclotomic fields, and can in fact be salvaged to prove the case of regular primes

Yes: Folland, A course in abstract harmonic analysis, CRC press

The least translatable idiom from Italian in my head is "Ti voglio bene". It could be translated as "I love you", but that loses a lot of nuance. The literal translation of "I love you" is "Ti amo".

So in Italy you have two different expressions that are rendered by the same one in English. But the two are very much not interchangeable. "Ti amo" has a romantic connotation, whereas "Ti voglio bene" does not. What's more, you can also use "Ti voglio bene" in a romantic context, to mean that you love the other person, but not only from the point of view of a romantic relationship though. In a romantic relationship, especially between younger people, it can happen that one says "Ti voglio bene" well before "Ti amo", which has a heavier implication. On the other hand, "Ti voglio bene" can be used with a sibling or a friend, often abbreaviated TVB, whereas "Ti amo" would not be used in this context. As you can see, it is quite difficult to even translate the difference, but it is something well present in the head of italian people.

There was an attempt a few months ago, but it was a little weird. But if you just want to find libraries relevant for your task (e.g. parsing the command line), there is https://nimble.directory where all Nim libraries are listed

There are many libraries for that, but I suggest cligen. It is the simplest command line parser I have found across all programming languages.

I personally want to thank you. As a mathematician, I always dislike the way maths is displayed in most movies. It was very refreshing to see students compute De Rham cohomology and discuss Galois theory (if I recall correctly) in a major Hollywood production.

Then again, "It's my turn" has a proof of the snake lemma in it! :-) (but the scene is much less realistic)

Actually assessing students could mean, you know, testing them orally instead of handing them assignments. Or at least letting them have a written exam in front of you.

I wish it was, but it isn't. There are various kinds of tables, that may have delimited lines or not, or they may be unaligned cells, each showing a key and a value... If you actually have in mind some solution that works well (either a paper, a github project, a commercial product) I'd be eager to know

So, how should one configure Broot to use a different shortcut to cd to a directory? Still not clear to me

I tried, but sometimes I actually need the Alt key to behave like it does by default, to enter modified characters such as ~ (which is not on my keyboard). Any other ways?

This a project we have been developing for a while. It is a server that allows to deploy APIs for many natural language processing tasks, while being able to mix technologies, and develop multiple different models for the same task.

A team using Charade can develop and evolve a suite of NLP capabilities - say NER, sentiment analysis and so on - while maintaining the possibility to customize them on particular datasets, and compose servers where only the relevant capabilities are deployed.

Charade is not itself a library for NLP tasks, although it provides some examples of models developed using various libraries. The teams using Charade will develop and customize their own models, using the provided ones can serve as example, or to provide some capabilities in a larger deployment.

We hope you will find it useful!

> At the current state of my model the model basically just clones the human driver as good as possible. That means the the amount of brake is higher in curves

I read in another comment that you are still in high school, so maybe the above is because you do not have actual driving experience. But this is not how human drivers drive.

Human drivers brake before the curves, while usually accelerate during curves. This improves stability.

This is something you may want to consider for your next iterations. In any case, congratulations for your impressive work!
