Does have some gems worth looking at. But generally always too superficial as can be expected from any self-sufficient YouTubber.
My Life Story by Veritasium (2018)
Source. Basically a don't be a pussy story where he describes how he has always been passionate by both science and film making. Veritasium is a nice guy.Ciro Santilli fantasizes that he is more compassionate than average.
He feels that this manifests itself notably through his desire/ability to create amazing documentation content and notably for free.
Also related is Ciro's worry about social inequality and how to reduce it.
In school, especially before university, Ciro felt that he always treated "the ugly/unpopular" (it is horrifying that such perception of a person exists! but true) girls really well, which led some of them to like him romantically. In part this was de to Ciro Santilli's self perceived compassionate personality and enter through the narrow gate approach to life. But was also partly Ciro's fault, he should have been clearer that he was not truly interested, but he was also lonely, curious about how it was like having girlfriend, and it feels good to have someone like you. This was a sin.
He also feels like he treated working class employees (and don't forget, this is Brazil, e.g. his building janitors in São Paulo lived in the nearby favela!) with extreme equality, sometimes even better, than other richer people.
One thing Ciro does not do however is give money to beggars on the street. Those beggars do make Ciro feel extremely bad for not giving, but he feels that they must be drug addicts to be out on the street like that, and that this money would be better invested in OurBigBook.com. But maybe this is just wrong. How fucked up the world is, how far away are we from unconditional basic income???
Once Ciro was hanging out with one of his father's on a group tourist, and she was a lesbian borderline/actually activist social reform person, and she promptly gave to a beggar without batting an eye, and that made a big impression on Ciro, making him feel even worse about himself.
It must be said that at times this compassion can be a weakness see Ciro's trip to the Municipal Market of São Paulo.
The Hull Classification Symbol (HCS) is a system used by the United States Navy and other naval forces to designate the specific type and class of a ship. It consists of a combination of letters and numbers that denote various characteristics of the vessel, such as its type (e.g., aircraft carrier, destroyer, frigate), its class within that type, and sometimes additional identifying information. For instance, in the U.S.
Telephone numbers in Africa vary by country, and each country has its own system for numbering. However, there are general features common across many African nations: 1. **Country Codes**: Each African country has a specific country code, which is used when dialing from abroad. For example: - Nigeria: +234 - South Africa: +27 - Kenya: +254 - Egypt: +20 2.
The Dirichlet L-function is a complex function that generalizes the Riemann zeta function and plays a crucial role in number theory, particularly in the study of Dirichlet characters and L-series. It is associated with a Dirichlet character \( \chi \) modulo \( k \), which is a completely multiplicative arithmetic function satisfying certain periodicity and the condition \( \chi(n) = 0 \) for \( n \) not coprime to \( k \).
A Hecke character (or Hecke character of the second kind) is a particular type of character associated with algebraic number fields and arithmetic functions. More specifically, these characters arise in the study of modular forms and algebraic K-theory.
The Riemann Xi function, denoted as \(\Xi(s)\), is a special function closely related to the Riemann zeta function \(\zeta(s)\). It is defined to facilitate the analysis of the zeros of the zeta function, especially in the context of the Riemann Hypothesis.
The Shimizu L-function is a type of L-function associated with a certain class of automorphic forms, particularly those arising from the theory of modular forms and automorphic representations. Specifically, it is related to the study of automorphic forms over several variables and is often connected to the theory of multiple zeta values and their generalizations.
The term **special values of L-functions** refers to specific evaluations of L-functions at certain points, typically integers or half-integers. These special values have significant implications in number theory, particularly in relation to various conjectures and theorems involving number theory, algebraic geometry, and representation theory.
Polygon triangulation is the process of dividing a polygon into triangles, which are simpler geometric shapes. This is useful in various fields such as computer graphics, geographical information systems (GIS), and computational geometry because triangles are easier to work with for tasks like rendering, mesh generation, and mathematical computations.
The Gale–Ryser theorem is a result in combinatorial mathematics, specifically in the theory of bipartite graphs and matching. It provides a characterization of the matchings in bipartite graphs based on certain conditions related to degree sequences.
The Airport Reference Temperature (ART) is a standard temperature used in aviation to evaluate aircraft performance, particularly in relation to takeoff and landing. It provides a consistent baseline that helps pilots and air traffic controllers assess how temperature variations at the airport might affect an aircraft's performance, including factors like lift, thrust, and overall operational efficiency. ART is primarily used in the context of determining aircraft performance in relation to specific airport conditions, especially when calculating takeoff distances, climb rates, and fuel efficiency.
Heat of formation group additivity is a method used in chemistry to estimate the standard heat of formation (\( \Delta H_f^\circ \)) of a molecule based on the known heats of formation of its constituent functional groups or molecular fragments. The concept is rooted in the fact that the overall heat of formation of a compound can often be approximated by summing the contributions of different parts of the molecule, such as functional groups, rings, or other structural features. ### Key Concepts 1.
Julius von Mayer (1814–1878) was a German physicist and one of the key figures in the development of the concept of energy conservation in physics. He is best known for formulating the first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. Mayer's work laid the foundation for the understanding of the relationship between different forms of energy, such as heat and mechanical work.
"On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances" is a seminal work by the physicist and chemist J. Willard Gibbs, published in 1876. This work is renowned for its foundational contributions to the field of thermodynamics and physical chemistry, particularly in the context of phase equilibria.
The term "level of free convection" typically refers to the degree or intensity of free convection occurring in a fluid. Free convection, also known as natural convection, occurs when fluid motion is caused by the buoyancy forces that arise due to density differences in the fluid, often due to temperature gradients. When a fluid is heated, it becomes less dense and tends to rise, while cooler, denser fluid descends.
A satellite tornado is a term used to describe a smaller tornado that forms in close proximity to a larger, stronger parent tornado. These satellite tornadoes usually occur in the vicinity of the main vortex and are often seen rotating around it. They can develop from the same thunderstorm or supercell that produces the primary tornado, and while they are typically weaker than the main tornado, they can still cause damage.
The Chow group is a fundamental concept in algebraic geometry and is used to study algebraic cycles on algebraic varieties. It plays a crucial role in intersection theory, the study of the intersection properties of algebraic cycles, and in the formulation of various cohomological theories.
In group theory, a branch of abstract algebra, a **central subgroup** refers to a subgroup that is contained in the center of a given group. The center of a group \( G \), denoted \( Z(G) \), is defined as the set of all elements \( z \in G \) such that \( zg = gz \) for all \( g \in G \). In other words, the center consists of all elements that commute with every other element in the group.
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!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- 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-calculusArticles 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.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
