       Ppl rarely deal with really high-order derivatives - 1st, 2nd, sometimes 3rd, but much rarely 4th, and I'm not sure I've seen 5th in practice.Today's new thought: I think this may be the same phenomenon as ppl rarely dealing w/ math statements w/ more than a few quantifiers. (eg Limit: ∀ε∃δ. P≠NP: ∀ poly-time M, ∃x such that M(x)≠SAT(x).) It's why there aren't many natural problems beyond the first few levels of various hierarchies (Borel, arithmetic, polynomial, W). https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/a/11403/129

       @tiago @MarisOzols @johncarlosbaez @jdhamkins I've heard jerk used in the wild. Eg jerk of the car is (roughly) the velocity of your foot hitting the pedal. Faster foot motion leads to a jerky ride

       @JorgeStolfi @johncarlosbaez A well-done online conference offers more than just reading the papers aloud. Sure, it doesn't offer meals and coffee and drinks. But it can offer many of the other scientific and networking benefits of an in-person conference. (Key word here being "well-done"! Just because many online conferences are done poorly doesn't mean they all have to be.)For a fraction of the cost, fraction of the CO2 budget. And more accessible to people who cannot attend in-person, see: disabled, immunocompromised, less $ personally, university, or nationally, unable to take time off of work or family obligations to travel, visa issues, etc.

       @tiago @academicchatter Can you elaborate on "the underlying decentralization is much more robust"?

       @tiago @academicchatter Ah, I see, so it's that the decentralization in Mastodon is *currently* more robust, not that there are fundamental obstacles to achieving similar decentralization for bluesky.

       @tiago @academicchatter As far as I can tell, their plan, as they outline on their blog, has always been an open protocol and federation. My understanding is that the AT protocol on which bluesky is based is *designed* for federation, they're just choosing not to federate yet during this part of their beta period.

       It has become unbearable to manually scroll back and forth between the main text and the references at the end of a paper.#LaTeX #academia #TeXLaTeX
