The commenter more or less admitted that they have no way of knowing that the algorithm is actually correct.

In your first analogy it would be like if text predictors pulled words from a thesaurus instead of a list of common words.

The mersenneforums have users solve an obscure (to a non-mathematician) but relatively simple number theory problem.

AI seems quite useful at combining what we already know into interpretable formats. The reality is that tons of material is discovered and then simply lost in the pile, searching the pile to maybe get a solution is often more time consuming that rediscovering it, so researchers don't even bother past the initial search.

Mathematical articles have the problem of either being written by mathematicians in an indecipherable manner that doesn't follow Wiki style, or idiot programmers that pollute the page with incorrect algorithms in their favorite language.

I struggle to find something more obnoxious than incorrectly employed formal logic.

There is no contradiction. The intersection of "native-sounding English" and "(English with) no grammatical errors" is not empty. So it's actually perfectly possible to meet both criteria.

It also wouldn't be a logical contradiction even if it wasn't possible, since contradictions are conflicts of arguments that rely on different propositions being true, not the valuation of the actual propositions.

Your solution is worse.

As is, it is the responsibility of the content provider to make sure that they are distributing only to people who are legally allowed to have it.

With age-verification the user has to prove that they are allowed to access the content, then the site can distribute it to them.

Your approach is to distribute the content by default and only deny it to ChildDevices. In order for this to work at all, you have to mandate that children can only use ChildDevices. This is soooo much worse than simply requiring that adults who want to see certain content have to prove that they can legally access it. If adults have reservations about providing ID for pornography, the loss of such content seems to be much less than denying children Internet access. (Although, I'm sure that Lemmings would disagree for obvious reasons).

The details in your own post undermine your conclusion. Ukraine has operated the Mi-8 family for decades, and is probably already familiar with low-level flight tactics over their own territory, which is a dissimilar flight environment to the US Southwest.

In reality this is more than likely pilot training for Southwest Asian operations. US still conducts some operations in the Middle East incase you weren't aware.

If you have Nautilus as the filemanager, you can write a Nautilus script that does this for you, you just then have to right click and select the script. You can run essentially any script this way, I use it for some preset file conversions.

First paragraph is entirely nonsense, second paragraph is more accurate.

EM/matter interaction is what you are concerned with. The type of interaction is dependent on the substance and the frequency of the EM field. It's perfectly possible to have extremely high amplitude radiation with no interaction, so the idea that you would get "cooked" regardless is complete nonsense.

But that's not socialism, is it?

Also you can try to argue that some methods of welfare distribution are inefficient, but you can't argue that the needs are being ignored.

So your response is to make an irrelevant and sophomoric monologue?

You acknowledge yourself that the ideal tactics don't actually work in Ukraine. And yet you never ask yourself why, and how you are supposed to mitigate the countermeasures.

Also, try not to accuse others of falling to a notion, when they give zero evidence for you to claim clairvoyance. Notice that I didn't accuse you of falling for the "meat wave" notion, even though you were almost certainly alluding to it.

I wrote up a port of GNU factor that has a slightly nicer UI than the original, and runs in approximately 1/3rd the time for 128-bit integers, on average. This is just a preliminary release and I plan implementing elliptic curve arithmetic and extending it to 192-bit to cover all the small integers that CADO-NFS doesn't support.

The factorization algorithm is provided as a separate crate that provides a C-api, since fast factorisation algorithms are hard to come-by.
