“It is important that the manufactured drones will be handed over to Ukraine’s Defense Forces,” said Ihor Klymenko, Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council

@mcc This is just how I ADHD, but I can remember useless trivia amazingly well. Weird min-maxing in my character sheet.

Ultimate truth, really?

So here is something I know to be true in two independent ways:

<omitted because it is not important for this discussion>

One way is my proof. The other way is somebody else's proof, which was published before I was aware.

If I had been aware, I would probably not have produced my proof.

But, as a matter of fact, I am not happy with my proof or their proof.

So I am trying to get a proof better than both.

Why am I doing this if I already know it is true, in two independent ways?

Because I don't think the two existing proofs capture the real reason why this is true.

I think I have a better way to explain/understand why it is true.

Mathematicians do this **all the time**.

If anybody is telling you that mathematicians only care about what is true, they are utterly misguided.

We always want the best proof. And if not the best proof, another way to understand the same thing from a different angle.

That would be the crucial difference between that comm and OP’s idea because their system would be applied to comms with specific topics and an incentive to participate. (Not that I think their idea would work particularly well.)

It's so beautiful with hundreds of particles on flat-screen and then so much more disappointing scaled for frame rates in a headset.

From our magazine: Ann Richards’ public life was mostly about gender. She was outrageous and courageous on behalf of women everywhere. https://www.texasobserver.org/molly-ivins-on-ann-richards-legacy-archives/

You are vastly underestimating how much work it takes to get a niche commumity going here.

I do remember one particularly spectacular moment when I thought, you know, this might be it, this might be the absolute peak, but if the rest of life were almost this good I would absolutely take it.
