New largest prime number discovered by former Nvidia software engineer
  • If you want it to be useful for the economy and industry in order to warrant funding, I've got news for you:

    The majority of modern encryption relies on prime numbers. It is currently speculated but not known, that the number of prime numbers is infinite.

    Should it be proven, that there are only a finite amount of prime numbers, all encryption would become vulnerable.

  • the flies
  • In the cited study with buckets, it was shown that striped and spotted surfaces attract fewer flies.

    That makes me think if Nguni cattle Nguni cattle have an easier time with those pests.

    If yes, that would be another plus for hardy landraces in place of overengineered, capitalmaxxed breeds.

  • This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • It's highly unlikely that they adopted the British system.

    The names for "floor" or "story" stem in many languages from the way houses were built in antiquity and the medieval period. Brick or stone walls for a base house that could be updated with wooden floors on top. Or variations in material, whatever.

    The baseline is, those words come from material reality and exist in many languages and cultures and are not adopted from English.

    The island of great Britain was highly uninfluential in antiquity and the middle ages.

  • Could an American please prove me wrong?
  • Well all inhabitants were pretty much thrown out or fled to Germany in fear of persecution. Then Stalin filled it up with ethnic Russians.

    They do have their own identity afaik, but it stems more from the connections they made with the neighbours: Lithuania and Poland.

    I don't know how deep it goes, but Kaliningraders were more against the war as it inconvenienced them in doing their shopping in Lithuania.

    Btw it's only half of East Prussia, the southern half was given to Poland.

  • Gentleman who has this on their 2024 bingo card
  • It's the replacement Germans that are very sorry about that whole thing. Or at least very much supposed to be.

    I don't think, I understand your comment. Is it calling out xenophobia? Is it itself a little xenophobic?

    Help me out, pls
