one day i was walking to a park to play some guitar and enjoy the sun and i saw this person walking in front of me
i ran to catch up and asked the standard traveler questions: how long have you been here? how are you enjoying the states?
thae explained that thae really enjoyed the us because, 'in japan it is all take take take, and in the us it is all put, put, put'
i laughed, 'really? did you get that backwards? how do you mean?'
thae explained, 'in japan there is a really strong core of tradition from which everyone draws from in order to live their lives, and in the us there is a strong core of tradition that everyone adds to and changes'
i laughed, 'wow! that's great, do you want to hang out?!' ;P
it ended up being a great friendship and we even lived together for a few months
i still think about that pearl of wisdom from time to time
there must be a Mario maker switch on the horizon but it's yet to be discussed from nintendo
the secret is more about the unpublished locations and less about the idea of it.. would you prefer the use of 'silent bakery'?
though one such 'secret bakery' may produce the pastries listed in the article i think this open door discovery is more closely tied to the culture of italy, you may be hard pressed to walk through residential areas of nj and find a silent bakery but give it a try and report back if you find some secret spot to get these pastries straight from the ovens
the anecdote is just a fun thing this article reminded me of
one night we closed the bars and were walking home past santa croce in firenze
it was nearly 5am and we suddenly could smell sweet pastries in the air
literally following our noses we wound through labyrinthine alleyways until we came across an halfway open garage door
looking in, the garage was full of industrial ovens and wheeled racks full of newly baked pastries prepped to fill the glass counters of every bakery and coffee shop around the city
we got an employees attention and politely asked to buy one of those fresh, warm, straight out the oven pastries
the bakers were happy to sell us any of the pastries all for one euro each
the first time was a magical experience and now i'm always sure to take a night to walk the streets of any italian city at 5am looking for a secret bakery baking the fresh pastries before they are sent out into the city
The input sketches look a lot like the doodles that people sketched in quick draw (o)
If true that they reused this data I commend their resourcefulness and their clever way of turning data entry into an unaware fun game
Here's California Labor Code section 246.5(o):

what's my motivation for my intention? I am unsure exactly.. personally? I derive significant joy from working on mathematics; socially? to solve the problem would solidify assumed validity across a varying subset of mathematics and its consequents
eyeroll.. loose use of 'every' is the kind of overreaching probability mathematical rigor eschews
quantum mechanics still relies heavily on probability theory and reimann has been probably correct since its inception
it is my intended inference that a mathematical model that maps qm will be mappable to reimann, and without any forgiveness of strict symmetries
John Oliver had a great segment on this: https://youtu.be/bq2_wSsDwkQ
When I was child I used have fun by climbing to the top of conifers behind our house to sit on the highest branch and just slide down
Each successive tiered limb would catch the bend on the ones above and I would slide down perfectly fine
The article is much larger than CPU level access and control..It discusses high level issues worth thinking about such as communications and social elements
The article lacks any real actionable advice to date it too much.. when will it be out of vogue to suggest reading 1984 to aide in 'anticipation'?
But the value of the article aside.. your language: dated; made me interested in finding out when ME was first introduced and I was having trouble finding any concrete dates of introduction
A lot of your links and their references date around 2015+, yet the authors of your linked book worked at Intel around 2007 and failed to discuss introduction dates
Then I found this at the libreboot FAQ that states ME was introduced into all Intel chips 2006+(o) with the real issues after implementations dating after ~2009+
Also in my search I found some promising leads on overcoming the ME issue:

What an unfortunate and reason defying battleground
It seemed to me you were changing the question that was being asked, and a question asked implies an answer, or 'goal post'
But if you were just developing new inquiry stead building off omalleyt then I apologise and would hope to encourage like critical thinking in the future
.. Thinking on it 'goal posts'.. and 'soap box' elsewhere in this thread.. lacks a timeless quality, I really should have left it out ;P
The student could just coast through a course.. they would have to sit through all lectures and would be assigned problems and reading but only one course would track their retention
I feel this is basically already what is happening in education with the prevalence of students' creative ways of undermining the current grading paradigm
But with the ancillary benefit that a student would be freed to actually do the work to foster an interest in at least one subject
Also, the student could be free to explore other subjects in ways outside of the means of tracking retention
I was pushing my math research since I was a child but instead was forced to abandon it and had calculus forcibly replaced as 'how I should think about mathematics' even though I fundamentally disagreed with its concepts
If I was free from the stress of doing poorly from the standpoint of grades I could have focused my interest on my own mathematical insight and simply allowed my education to expose me to calculus
wherein I would have retained an appreciation for mathematics and developed one for the practicality of calculus practices
I answered where circles are in our universe and you then try to change the original intent of omalleyt's question to mean a symbolic representation of pi
> It would take an infinite amount of power to calculate every digit in pi
Calculating pi is so simple life without nervous systems does it
Now, expressing that value in our limited yet overly verbose base ten symbolic representation would indeed require infinite recursion
Students study varied subject matter but only one subjects' grade 'matters' and can be chosen by the student
Personally, I think our maths education suffers from a lack of freedom.. I do think it can be for anyone but only because I believe anyone can bring to it whatever they'd like, whereas education tells you what areas need to be studied and how
is competition the foil of expression?
But if you require a more direct understanding I would say there is a perfect circle in every rotation
It's a survey, and the link text is a quote of one of the surveyors which I only found by clicking view comments then ctrl-f'ing 'immort' which took me far down the list to find this:
Shane Magrath, 48, from Australia, has loved math since grades 9-12
“One day the universe will be a cold black emptiness. However that which is mathematically true will remain vibrantly true even if the universe fades to darkness. When we do mathematics we touch immortality.”
You rely too much on proof by assertion to support your ideology
> does not constitute a proof of existence of anything infinite outside one's mind.
You argue a lack of rigor but refuse to uphold your dismissal to your own projected standards
You even claim there are texts to support your position but choose to leave out a link for others to review
I am comfortably an opposing opinion to your opinion but one of the things that confuses me about those that share it with you is the 'outside the mind' element
Can you elaborate on how mathematical phenomena only exist inside the mind and if so how that proves mathematics fails to exist immortally
if you are sincerely asking.. i suppose i'd answer: well the same as the state of the universe: empty; now what would be the meaning of the concept that the term, or symbol, seven refers to? well, still 7, but such a universe would lack the necessary representations to express it
my mathematical research begins in an 'empty universe' and questions the most base of assumptions necessary to get to a representation of, for instance, 7
an empty universe actually contains enough information to express all information utilising mathematics: the current empty 0, and the potential any state replacing the empty state 1; if time.. when emptiness begins and ends.. is allowed to be considered

"I don't mean it's interesting that they float," Teddy said. "It's interesting that I know about them being there. If I hadn't seen them, then I wouldn't know they were there, and if I didn't know they were there, I wouldn't be able to say that they even exist. That's a very nice, perfect example of the way--"
But those grains of sand you are piling already exist ;P
In a universe where quarks only collect in groups of four sand would fail to exist
it needs baryons.. or whatever name you want to ascribe, yes it is scientifically known and recognised that naming conventions are arbitrary and often localised but naming stems from consistent behaviour
In a universe without baryons to claim sand exists would be making up a new substance that uses 3 quarked particles
Or if you add a fourth quark to one proton in a grain of sand it would cease to be sand
So the number of quarks that collect and how they structure determines the existence of sand
Similar to how a beach is formed based on the number of grains of sand
anyway the root of the issue is confounding to me.. how often has physics been disproven and replaced by implementing mathematics?
for me physics is behavior, mathematics is existence
..edit.. I'm unable to reply again so I'll clarify what I mean here: for me physics is behavior, mathematics is existence
that was where this whole conversation started, 'what is reality[anything]?'
you are working from an incomplete definition of the full scale of, even recognised, mathematics which is clear in that you define it as being 'built on top of axiomatic set theory' when godel used mathematics to show axioms are limited in scope
but you, stead Godel, consider that all of mathematics, and now I'm repeating myself
i explain why i feel that way: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13792787
numbers exist without sand, sand needs numbers to exist
you can count apples instead of sand
yet physical phenomena, such as the formation of sand or apples, depends on quantity
chemistry shows that how many particles in what structure determine how it interacts physically with its environment
a hadron with three quarks is a baryon, a hadron with a different number is fundamentally different
still, i hold it would be more 'hard to defend' abstract concepts fail to exist.. regardless of 'where'
beyond the scope of humanity or human curiosity, look at chemistry
the universe is rather predicated on relations to the abstract concept of quantity
and those distinguishing identities exist within a hadron and in far flung galaxies
