Sitting in bed in the middle of the night thinking about multisets, "I could clamp registers to a max value and crash, or I could use the largest int value as infinity.." It seems like being to have infinity in Rejoice would be a fun thing to move in and out of recipes. x^ω x and x^ω would be equal, it would be a saturating register value in Rejoice. I'm not exactly sure what the ramifications of this are yet, that might be a stupid idea. wiki.xxiivv.com

"Toutes les grandes personnes ont d'abord été des enfants. (Mais peu d'entre elles s'en souviennent.)" [All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.] Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, "Le Petit Prince." An impromptu game of "who can name the largest number?" is an example I often point to as a way in which young children teach each other about non-trivial mathematical ideas and facts, such as infinity and the concept of proof by contradiction (embodied in this case by one child eventually realizing that they can defeat any other child's guess by adding "plus one" to that gues… Related

While you have 46 chromosomes, certain ferns carry huge numbers - the record is 1,400! Their genomes can be gigantic too: a little fern called Tmesipteris oblanceolata packs about 160 billion base pairs of DNA into each cell, the largest genome ever found in any living thing on Earth. People call these ferns 'chromosome hoarders'. But why all the hoarding? One classic idea from 1966 blames the ferns' sex lives. Many ferns can fertilize themselves. A single spore grows into a plant called a gametophyte that makes both egg and sperm. The egg from one plant can be fertilized by the sperm of anot… biorxiv.org

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
