Funny, it does work for my firefox.

The content of this (very good) video is the culprit for the error:

Another good one: FixederSys by Tom7

Just read Wittgenstein (The Blue+Brown Books / Philosophical investigations), and this confusion will go away. The difference between translation, definition, and explanation needs to be understood.

All artistic mediums are plagued in some way. For film and TV, this is the incredible cost of production, which necessitates the involvement of large corporations.

Re:Ask HN: What's the "best" book you've ever read? on Monday October 07, 2024 @03:21PM (#41769912)
Christianson and Chater's "The Language Game". This book changed the way I viewed everything, and also led me to read "The Philisophical Investigations", which I would also put up there.
Group theory.

Something is incredibly beautiful to me about classifying the kinds of symmetry things can have.

I’m trying to understand where the sporadic simple groups come from. Starting with the Matthieu groups. So far it seems to be due to some anomaly in Pascal’s triangle, but I’m still trying to put it together. “Another Roof” on YouTube has a good video about this.
