not sure why you're getting downvoted, this is pretty much the reason.
Allegedly.

Most clones I've seen don't look that great, but this one's nice. I noticed that the PCB has no ULA. I'm reading that it was impossible to procure in the USSR because of embargos so the designer, Sergey Zonov, reverse-engineered it and used 74xx ICs. That ..is an impressive feat. It has been replicated by Chris Smith, but by actually opening up a ULA and looking at the circuit. Doing this blindly is just awesome.

This is not a gov-owned business. It's not your money to decide how they should spend their resources to benefit yourself.

Nicely done!

That's how you can tell that lobbying is different from prostitution. In the latter, money exchange is illegal both before and after the act.

Re:Navier–Stokes Lost in Translation on Wednesday October 07, 2026 @10:00PM (#50001142)
Why would they do that, knowing that the one known to be correct is the Lean one? Just to claim that the (correct) Lean proof did not translate well to English? That would be weak, and a colossal waste of energy and time.

We also live in a very different world now compared to 2021 when the problem was reported. A brief Gemini query to translate the old diff format to the new one returned in a few seconds with what appears to me a correct, < 40-line, solution.

While I agree with the article's point, we should note that collisions do not happen out of the box because Neovim defaults undodir to $XDG_STATE_HOME/nvim/undo/ (~/.local/state/nvim/undo/), while Vim defaults to storing .un~ files alongside the edited file or inside ~/.vim/undo/. Data loss only occurs if both editors are configured to share an undo directory or save inline .un~ files.

Great site, intuitive description. I also found [1] very useful in the past.

They obviously did not send the proof to Claude.
I'm pretty sure they were sending a prompt for Claude to _find_ the Navier-Stokes proof, using ideas that have been publicly shared before online, but not necessarily used for the problem.

What's surprising (to me) is that there exist 3840x2560 28" IPS panel monitors on Amazon for only $150.
Re:The Kuycon P20 – 28" 4500x3000px 3:2 monitor on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @10:56PM (#49637808)
External 16" 3840x2400 monitors are ~$150 on Amazon.

True. With 5 choices you need at least 126 people before you can guarantee that two lists are the same.

Re:“I just chose words carefully” on Monday August 31, 2026 @01:23AM (#49505926)
Definitely in the pool of people that used to do this extensively. I would occasionally increase/decrease the colum limit by a few characters and try again if the words didn't align.
