> I would write comments in a supposedly anonymous survey like “He ist like…” to camouflage myself as german

Do actual Germans ever make that kind of mistake though?

I’ve only ever seen “ist” used “wrongly” in that particular way by English speakers, for example in a blog post title that they want to remain completely legible to other English speakers while also trying to make it look like something German as a reference or a joke.

The only situation I could imagine where a German would accidentally put “ist” instead of “is”, is if they were typing on their phone and accidentally or unknowingly had language set to German and their phone autocorrected it.

Sometimes you get weird small things like that on some phones where the phone has “learned” to add most English words to the dictionary or is trying to intelligently recognise that the language being written is not matching the chosen language, but it still autocorrects some words to something else from the chosen language.

But I assume that when people fill out forms for work, they are typing on the work computer and not from their phone.

I agree, the GP should at the end of the sentence the second verb insert.

What is gmp?

From https://gmplib.org/#WHAT

> What is GMP?

> The GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library

> GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on signed integers, rational numbers, and floating-point numbers. There is no practical limit to the precision except the ones implied by the available memory in the machine GMP runs on. GMP has a rich set of functions, and the functions have a regular interface.

Many languages use it to implement long integers. Under the hood, they just call GMP.

IIUC the problem is related to the test suit, that is probably very handy if you ever want to fry an egg on top of your micro.

    The question of hairy black holes is intimately connected to the greatest puzzle in modern physics: How can general relativity be merged with quantum theory?
    
    Consider the situation where an object crosses a black hole’s point of no return, called the event horizon. According to general relativity, all outsiders will see is how the swallowed object contributes to the two numbers that describe the black hole: how much mass the object adds, and how much faster or slower it makes the black hole rotate.
The idea that anything within the event horizon should be treated as an opaque black box -- could it be reinterpreted as saying that any property which has dependence on spatial or temporal distribution within becomes an unknowable quantity? If so, can it be tied somehow to Quantum Mechanic’s idea of the removal of degrees of freedom by observation, since now certain quantities are not unobserved but rather unobservable in principle? I am asking this from a naive laymen’s point of view, so I may be conflating entirely unrelated ideas.

No. The "no hair theorem" has a condition that says "after a while", but people ignore it because it's a short time. So intermediately after the object entered the black hole will have bump and will emit gravitational waves and after a while it will be a perfect sphere (if it's not rotating, or a similar round elongated shape if rotating).

As far as I can understand, it totally unrelated to Quantum Mechanics.

My daughter used to play the 6x6 version that used to appear in the newspaper (like 15 years ago). It was interesting that some of the strategies [1] were more useful in the 6x6 version than in the 9x9 version and vice versa.

[1] Like filling rows/columns compared to filling 3x3 or 2x3 blocks compared to finding all the "1".

It's more like a device that uses some quantum properties locally, not long distance entanglement or something really weird.

Note that devices that use uses some quantum properties locally include LEDs, microchips, ... It may be an interesting new application, but it's not the first application of quantum mechanics.

try contacting info@ycombinator.com I'm not sure it's the correct email, but they probably can tell you to the correct one.

If stablecoins are supposed to be usable as currency, maintain a fixed value relative to a government-backed standard, and also accumulate interest...

... then shouldn't banks just be able to deal in them?

gus_massa · a day ago
A few "stablecoins" can be used to make deposits with a high interest rate. The assets that back up this interest come from ... ¿thin air? So they collapse sooner or later.

I think there are a few full backed stablecoins without shenanigans, but they are not so popular because you don't get a high interest "without risks".
