"Was mein brennender Staubsauger über den Niedergang der USA erzählt"
Überraschend kurzweiliger Artikel zum Thema Handelsüberschuss der USA. Der Artikel rückt das Thema Bildung in den Mittelpunkt bzgl. der Ursache warum der besagte Staubsauger in Flammen aufgeht und einiger weiterer Anekdoten.
Was an den Wasserboiler kaputt sein kann, ist mir dagegen nicht klar. Geschlossenes System verliert Wasser?

Iteration Steps of 3x+1 Problem
On the 3x+1 problem, given a positive integer $N$, let $D\left( N \right) $, $O\left( N \right) $, $E\left( N \right) $ be the total iteration steps, the odd iteration steps and the even iteration steps when $N$ iterates to 1(except 1) respectively. Trivially, we have $D\left( N \right) =O\left( N \right) +E\left( N \right) $. In this paper, we propose a so-called weak residue conjecture(i.e., $\frac{2^{E\left( N \right)}}{3^{O\left( N \right)}\cdot N}\le 2$). We prove that if 3x+1 conjecture i…

I am at the same position as this post lines out. I’m neither hard core pro or anti LLMs. I think they are useful in specific contexts e.g. distilling and querying big chunks of text based information. They are not a hail mary solution to every problem.

RIVM rioolwaarden update.
Met vandaag weer een stevige stijging in deze (zo lijkt het nu toch echt) 16e golf, het gewogen gemiddelde is de 200 inmiddels ruim voorbij en zit rond de 220.
Twee nieuwe dagen in de data slechts (ik had drie verwacht vanwege afgelopen vrijdag geen data): 26 en 27 mei, met 40% en 30% van de meetstations. Maar wel veel extra data van de dagen daarvoor.
