If you graph prime numbers in various ways, you get artifacts like rays or lines. But it's not related specifically to the prime numbers. They're just caused by the composite numbers erasing straight rows of integers, leaving behind straight rows of primes.

You should ask this in a CAD dedicated subgroup. I've been running high-end CAD software (I-DEAS, UG NX, Solidworks) on low to midrange PCs since 2000, and never had any issues. I don't know of any CAD system that supports the high-end features of the graphics cards you specify. There are some advanced rendering packages that might, but those cards aren't necessary. You might just get your pretty picture faster.

If you're going to be running FEA or simulations, just pack as much RAM as you can. 32Gb minimum.

for example, the integer partitions of 4 will be 3+1, 2+2, 2+1+1, and 1+1+1+1

Hmmm...ok, sure...

That’s because partitions have a natural connection to a type of equation known as Diophantine equations – equations like Pythagoras’s or Markov’s, for which there are multiple if not infinitely many sets of rational solutions.

Diophantine equations are special because the interesting results are integer. For Pythagoras that would be something like 3, 4, 5 (3^2^ + 4^2^ = 5^2^).

The story seems to be implying some connection between adding integers and prime numbers, but it never gets anywhere close to explaining that connection.

When I decide to worship Gandalf, I'm declaring a fair-use exemption.

Or has been about 16 years since the first person was killed by a faulty Takata airbag. Over 20 years since the first injury.

Are these all Linux apps? So not really alternatives, but apps with similar function for Linux.

As I get older, I realized I'm just not in that much of a hurry anymore. And I really, really don't want to hit a kid, so I'll drive slow thru towns.

Freeway though, that's 80 mph.

Who is Jerma, and why does his crap clog my YouTube feed? Except it's not Jerma's stuff, but people making videos about Jerma.

It's not a pyramid, it's an inverted Delta. And that puts you right at the top.

It's getting downvoted because it's not realistic.
