Synthesizes MIDI input. vmpk + aconnect + Advanced Linux Sound Architecture hello world: askubuntu.com/questions/34391/virtual-midi-piano-keyboard-setup/1298026#1298026

Supports only very basic effects it seems: chorus effect and reverberation. The main way to add instruments to it is via SoundFont files.

This is notably what the United States emerged to be after World War II. But it was likely what Nazi Germany also was, and many other superpowers.

Ciro Santilli feels that much more relevant would be to also include academia as in "military-industrial-academic" complex, the Wikipedia page actually mentions precedents to this idea.

The addition of congress/politicians is also relevant.

But hey, the name wouldn't sound so slick with three parts.

It is basically in this context that American science and technology flourished after World War II, including notably the development of quantum electrodynamics, Richard Feynman being a prototypical example, having previously worked on the Manhattan Project.

Some remarks on the language at: cirosantilli.com/china-dictatorship/does-ciro-santilli-speak-chinese

Maybe we need these people, maybe we do.

The problem as with many well known science communicators is that he falls too much on the basic side of the the missing link between basic and advanced.

Due to Ciro Santilli's campaign for freedom of speech in China, Ciro Santilli' cult research is located at github.com/cirosantilli/china-dictatorship/flg-cult (permalink).

The 3D regular convex polyhedrons are super famous, have the name: Platonic solid, and have been known since antiquity. In particular, there are only 5 of them.

The counts per dimension are:

The cool thing is that the 3 that exist in 5+ dimensions are all of one of the three families:Then, the 2 3D missing ones have 4D analogues and the sixth one in 4D does not have a 3D analogue: the 24-cell. Yes, this is the kind of irregular stuff Ciro Santilli lives for.

Nobel Prize of Mathematics.

The Nobel Prize of mathematics!

That 15,000 canadian dollar prize though, what a joke! That's what you get when an impoverished scientist, and not a rich industrialist, creates a prize!
