they should have just used rust smh

i would disagree that math problems only have one strategy for getting to the answer. there are many things, particularly in more abstract math, which can be understood in multiple different ways. the first example that comes to mind is the fundamental theorem of algebra. you can prove it using complex analysis, algebraic topology, or abstract algebra. all the proofs are quite different and rely on deep results from different fields of math.

i think the same thing holds in the less abstract areas of math, it’s just that people are often only taught one strategy for solving a problem and so they believe that’s all there is.

it would be a pretty funny post for the full 5 minutes it would last until it got stalin sorted out of lemmy.ml

that would only be true if there was something to replace it

is it a legal violation if no jury is around to hear it?

whoa that’s a pretty good source

ah yes, the police. the people with a reputation for always properly assessing every situation

no it does not. it’s basically just a poll to see what other countries think. at least, that’s my understanding based on what i’ve read.

edit: formmatting. also i should clarify that reddit isn’t a particularly reliable source, but i included it because the top comments on that post agree with the other sources linked, and give provide simple answers to the question

this article is how i found out that bad bunny is not the dr phil girl

it’s very telling that being pro palestine is immediately interpreted as being “anti israel”

no not like that

that’s what they tell you right before throwing you off the plane

yeah it’s definitely a contender for first place

interesting strategy to hire a lawyer for that instead of a psychologist

disposable vapes come with built in lithium batteries, while (most) disposable lighters don’t. so there is a very real difference between the two. but disposal lighters are also stupidly wasteful, so it would be nice to ban those as well.

i think you’re taking that quote out of context a bit. a few sentences later, the article says

Even physicians have weighed in on the shortcomings of B.M.I. The American Medical Association warned last year that B.M.I. is an imperfect metric that doesn’t account for racial, ethnic, age, sex and gender diversity. It can’t differentiate between individuals who carry a lot of muscle and those with fat in all the wrong places.

“Based on B.M.I., Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was a bodybuilder would have been categorized as obese and needing to lose weight,” said Dr. Wajahat Mehal, director of the Metabolic Health and Weight Loss Program at Yale University.

so the point they seem to be making is that, while BMI is controversial partly because people like to shoot the messenger, it’s also just not a reliable measurement in a medical context, even as a heuristic. the article also goes into more detail on its other shortcomings as well. the article also indicates how BMI was never intended to be used in a medical context. so, there are plenty of valid reasons for wanting a new metric.

but i do think the sentence you quoted isn’t really doing the author any favors in terms of trying to communicate the central point of the article.

one of my old computer science professors said self driving cars “have been 5 years away for the past 20 years”. still rings true to this day

oops!

it’s hard to thoughtfully discuss thoughtless decisions

LinkedIn thus takes after its parent, which recently revised its Service Agreement to make clear that its Assistive AI should not be relied upon.

is this the same parent that’s talking about adding an AI button to people’s keyboards?
