This’d be a neat way to digitize old manuscripts…

Thanks for the heads up. Not worth the time

There are records of why it was bent though. It was one of the first pyramids. The king wanted it very tall and steep. he ended up being burried in a pyramid with less slope. Do you have any archeological evidence of complex geometry being used?

Again, the pyramids are an impressive feat of craftsmanship and the organization of labor, but does that mean they employed the pythagorean theorem?

They may very well have known geometry, or at least developed during the course of their civilization but I don’t think the pyramids represent sufficient evidence for them definitely knowing the pythagorean theorem

edit: also if you haven’t heard the podcast, i recommend it. It’s pretty cool

What makes you say that? I’m not an expert. Accurate geometry or not, the pyramids are pretty cool. What about them means it couldn’t have been trial and error?

About halfway up, however, the angle of incline decreases from over 51 degrees to about 43 degrees, and the sides rise less steeply, causing it to be known as the Bent Pyramid. The change in angle was probably made during construction to give the building more stability

The recent “Fall of Civilizations” podcast talks a lot about the history of the pyramids. They may still have known a lot about geometery, but the slopes and angles involved in the pyramid building seem to have been trial and error as much as anything

Quite possible.

I’m not sure I understand this statement? Isn’t that what the article says?

There’s also the https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/about Obviously, losing a dimension isn’t great but still pretty cool

Good to know! TBH, I’m specifically excited to see it was present in the fertile crescent. I really like clay tablets.

Cuneiform scripts were frequently coppied by scribes, so the theorem could be even older

Didn’t notice that one. I’m using the first simple keyboard, from rkkr. Think the simple mobile one must be a later addition

the latter

Simple Keyboard on fdroid. Others have more features, but I can’t switch. The swipe delete and swipe to move cursor are so smooth and I can’t make any other keyboards work as well for me. I wanted florisboard to work, but it just felt clunky

Fair enough, but it should not be considered “incognito”

Given the context of this thread, clearly not

Incognito/private are a bad name. You should pretty much use this to not save history, or to log into a site without using saves credentials and assume it’s otherwise exactly the same as a normal browser session

But there is evidence that he defends it, and that he refused to back down after being called out. He is not a good person to look up to, and willfully makes harmful public statements, and willfully stabds by them. In other words, kinda a POS

Yet he still qualifies that statement:

Children: Humans up to age 12 or 13 are children. After that, they become adolescents or teenagers
