"Electrochemistry stubs" is not a widely recognized term in the field of electrochemistry or related sciences. However, it could refer to a few different concepts depending on the context: 1. **Electrochemical Stubs in Literature:** In the context of scientific literature or databases, "stubs" might refer to incomplete articles or entries about various topics within electrochemistry.

The dialog is also known as allegory for an incredibly deep philosophical discussion between an idealized wise woodcutter and a fisherman, e.g. mentioned at: www2.kenyon.edu/Depts/Religion/Fac/Adler/Writings/Fisherman%20and%20Woodcutter.pdf
This song is just too slow for Ciro Santilli to make much out of it.

Moral statistics is a term that refers to the quantitative study of social phenomena, particularly those related to morality and ethics. It often involves the collection and analysis of data related to crime, poverty, health, and other social issues to understand patterns and trends in human behavior. The idea is to use statistical methods to reveal insights about moral issues in society, such as the distribution of crime rates, the impact of social policies, or the demographic factors linked to various moral concerns.
"TN 70" typically refers to a specific type of tire manufactured by companies such as Michelin or other tire brands. This designation is often used to indicate a certain model or series of tires that may be designed for various vehicles, often focusing on performance attributes such as grip, durability, or fuel efficiency.
They are a reminder that the lives that we live daily are mere illusions, religious concepts such as Maya and Samsara come to mind.
We as individuals perceive nothing about the materials that we touch every day really work, nor more importantly how our brain and cell work.
Everything is magic out of our control.
The natural sciences allow us peek, with huge concentrated effort, into tiny little bits a little of those unknowns, and blow our minds as we notice that we don't know anything.
For all practical purposes in life, there is a huge macro micro gap. We are only able to directly perceive and influence the macro events. And through those we try to affect micro events. Because for good or bad, micro events reflect in the macro world.
It is as if we live in a different plane of existence above molecules, and below galaxies. The hierarchy of Figure "xkcd 435: Fields arranged by purity" puts that nicely into perspective, shame it only starts at the economical level, not going up to astronomy.
The great beauty of science is that it allows us to puncture through some of the layers of reality, either up or down, away from our daily experience.
And the great beauty of artificial intelligence research is that it allows to peer deeper into exactly our layer of existence.
Every one or two weeks Ciro Santilli remembers that he and everything he touches are just a bunch of atoms, and that is an amazing feeling. This is Ciro's preferred source of Great doubt. Another concept that comes to mind is when you see it, you'll shit bricks.
Perhaps, the feeling of physics and the illusion of life reaches its peak in molecular biology.
Just look at your fucking hand right now.
Do you have any idea of each of the cells in it work? Isn't is at least 100 times more complex than the materials of the table you hand is currently resting on?
This is the non-science fiction version of the lotus-Eater Machine.
Alan Watts's "Philosopher" talk mentions related ideas:
The origin of a person who is defined as a philosopher, is one who finds that existence itself is exceedingly odd.
The toddler of a friend of Ciro Santilli's wife asked her mum:
Why doesn't my tiger doll close its eyes when we sleep?
Our perception of the macroscopic world is so magic that children have to learn the difference between living and non-living things.
James Somers put it very well as well in his article I should have loved biology by James Somers, this quote was brought to Ciro's attention by Bert Hubert's website[ref].
I should have loved biology but I found it to be a lifeless recitation of names: the Golgi apparatus and the Krebs cycle; mitosis, meiosis; DNA, RNA, mRNA, tRNA.
In the textbooks, astonishing facts were presented without astonishment. Someone probably told me that every cell in my body has the same DNA. But no one shook me by the shoulders, saying how crazy that was. I needed Lewis Thomas, who wrote in The Medusa and the Snail:
For the real amazement, if you wish to be amazed, is this process. You start out as a single cell derived from the coupling of a sperm and an egg; this divides in two, then four, then eight, and so on, and at a certain stage there emerges a single cell which has as all its progeny the human brain. The mere existence of such a cell should be one of the great astonishments of the earth. People ought to be walking around all day, all through their waking hours calling to each other in endless wonderment, talking of nothing except that cell.
The same applies to other natural sciences.

Shapiro's Lemma is a result in the field of mathematics, specifically in the area of algebraic geometry and the theory of sheaves. It relates to the properties of sections of sheaves over open subsets of a topological space, particularly in relation to the notion of extension of sections.
A shared register is a type of data structure that allows multiple threads or processes to read from and write to a common memory location in a concurrent computing environment. It is used to manage shared state between different computational entities, ensuring that they can interact without significant risk of data corruption or inconsistency. ### Characteristics of Shared Registers: 1. **Concurrency**: Multiple threads or processes can access the register simultaneously, and it must manage these concurrent accesses.
Lorentz covariance by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Same motivation as Galilean invariance, but relativistic version of that: we want the laws of physics to have the same form on all inertial frames, so we really want to write them in a way that is Lorentz covariant.
This is just the relativistic version of that which takes the Lorentz transformation into account instead of just the old Galilean transformation.
A shared secret is a piece of information, such as a password, encryption key, or cryptographic token, that is known only to a specific set of parties. It is used in various security contexts to ensure secure communication and authentication between users, devices, or systems. **Key characteristics of a shared secret:** 1. **Confidentiality**: The shared secret should remain confidential between the parties involved. If it is exposed to unauthorized individuals, the security of the communication is compromised.
Bare metal by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
Bare metal programming is to run a program without an operating system below it.
Or in other words, it is basically implementing an operating system/firmware yourself ad hoc, together with your actual program.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
