A tale of two consoles:

I own a 3ds and an analogue pocket. The 3ds battery lasted without faults for 14 years; the analogue pocket’s developed a fault within 2.

Replacing the battery in the 3ds took 5 minutes and cost £15; it now works perfectly. Meanwhile, the analogue pocket would cost me over £100 and would require posting to the states.

It’s not just the games, it’s the damn hardware!

Invest in academia, get the best new tech.

This is not surprising - the west has some serious university investment to do if it wants to catch up!

Let $\mu(x)=0$ if $\exists y<x\mu(y)=0$ or $x$ is the 20 millionth prime. $\mu(x)=\mu(x+1)+1$ otherwise. The elements of the sequence only become defined once the 20 millionth prime is found; till then they’ve yet to be constructed.

Bonus: The sequence $\nu$ is defined as follows.

Let $\nu(x)=0$ if $\exists y\leq x\mu(y)$ is perfect. $\nu(x)=\nu(x+1)+1$ otherwise.

We’re not sure if this is a sequence, even though it is algorithmically definable. Its existence relies on the existence of an odd perfect number.

It’s possible to define an infinite sequence whose nth term must exist before it’s first.

Jokes aside, you’d be amazed at just how wide the astrology demographic is.

Ah yes, the “delete system32 to free up space” of the modern era.

And here we see copyrighta blightus, the copyblight firm to the rest of us, looking to expand it’s territory.

This species is, of course, an invader to the quiet widely watched waves; an invasive element that can, and will, upset the local ecosystem.

If you listen closely, you can hear the call of these parasites; it sounds a little like “you wouldn’t steal a car”.

Faction 5: The mathematicians who want to find new shortcuts for large matrix operations so we can apply it to other fields…

“Knock-a-door run”

We are but a simple people.

And now “Epstein Island” just became “Pedobear Paradise” in my brain. Thanks for that.

Mostly, we all see the world in unique ways - picture a building of possessed dwarves and you have the average mathematics department.

I just want to add, this is coming from someone who has completed a mathematics PhD, and so has a very very high bar for psychosis (seriously, math departments are fun, but also FUN).
