This article is just bollocks, isn't it? There are lots of good reasons not to eat many Doritos, but the carbon footprint of the corn going into them isn't one of them, because eating almost anything else would be worse.

Much of Euclid’s Elements is easily misunderstood. Some proofs seem to have logical gaps. Some constructions seem pointless, others seem needlessly convoluted.

Each of these provides a window into how the ancient Greeks thought about math and the philosophical role that geometry played.

New video! This covers the fundamentals of quantum computing and builds up to a step-by-step walk-through of an important algorithm in the field.

Thought you might find this pretty cool as well. You can see Saturday's partial solar eclipse in Germany solar generation data.

And the dip was handled by pumped hydro and cross border trading.
Durch die partielle #Sonnenfinsternis am 29.03.2025 reduzierte sich die Netzeinspeisung von Solarstrom in Deutschland um maximal 4 GW oder 15 Prozent um 12 Uhr.
