Why is anything worth the effort?
Cause research into primes makes computer security stronger. Cause research in general can make new discoveries that can lead to unexpected improvements in life.
Cause we need to know the answer to everything.
Cause it’s better than mining crypto or doing AI training models over and over.
Formatting is off.

2 to the power of something, then subtract one to make it an odd number.

TV show was quality. The end of the series was about as good as anyone could hope for.
Payment up front, in non negotiable bearer bonds.

Did you set up SPF and DKIM? It helps Google know you are not a spammer.
I recently switched to a self hosted FreshRSS. I used Feedly for probably a decade tho.
It makes more sense to have a server downloading and consolidating the data from the various sources, rather than syncing and downloading from dozens or hundreds of sources to build the feed in real time.
It’s technically possible to do it all client side, but it would put more load on the RSS sources, and be a much slower user experience.
At least he steals his ideas from good sci-fi.
Wonder who he pays to summarize them for him.
It does work in the real world, as long as the floor is the problem, and the table is perfect.
Most of the time at a restaurant, it’s the table that’s been beaten up and is no longer even.
They’re assuming zero maintenance and all that’s needed is refueling. I think if they have any anomalies they’ll need to pull the booster to another location for inspection/repair.
Which is great, but as soon as one tower is out, then you’re back to N towers.
He better go wash his hands again after handling his phone.
And makes turnaround much faster since it’s already back on the launch pad.
Though it does make it so a damaged launch pad from either an abnormal launch or landing can stop all launch progress until things are rebuilt. We’ve seen the very reliable Falcon 9 damage the drone ships with a hard landing.
Would be interesting to see more than the two launch towers created to create more redundancy.
Wonder what international event 6ish years ago brought that image to the forefront…
Doping is a common term in electronics, it’s just that the article is on Top Gear so they didn’t explain it well.
Oh fuck… It’s so stupid it’s smart.

New math came out of it, they figured out more and more efficient ways to figure out the solution to “is this prime?”
Those same math techniques can be used for other problems, and possibly learn something that solves a problem you actually care about.
Research is important because you never know what weird problem someone is working on might solve. Maybe it will provide a new math solution that creates better CGI, maybe it’ll finally create a technique to solve fusion.
Maybe it’ll just be something that we know now that we didn’t know before. There are FAR FAR FAR more wasteful things in the world than some nerds trying to solve big prime numbers.
