Great video! I'm excited to try this one out. Now, let's see the 6, 12, or 24 axes homogeneous rod packings! :)

Sad that the Sphere represents the billions of dollars spent on unfair gambling by people who do not understand mathematics (probabilities). It's a testament to stupidity and exploitation of stupidity of the masses. Yes, I know that some gamblers claim to understand probability. AND I know that some small subset of those who make that claim actually do. But by and large the vast majority of gamblers believe in things like the gambler's fallacy, luck streaks, slot machines that are ready to pay off, any kinds of patterns to predict payouts, and on and on. The Sphere can only be made by engineers who are not as dumb as the rubes whose untold losses funded it. And it's role is a beacon to attract more suckers. If it were effective at teaching math, it would be bulldozed.

pretty sure the code at 34:12 was running a rick roll, if you side by side it with the actual video the movements of the "hands" and background color swapping match up pretty close. funny how you mentioned a rick roll while potentially staring at one!

You should put spots on the crazy sydler shapes so they look like they're supposed to be dice. Not that they could be rolled, since some of the faces are convex or even inside -- but people will wonder if it's supposed to be a higher-dimensional dice or a different way of picking a face or what. Bonus: actually do that. Along with making a cardboard version of the classic Sydler shape. Hey, it's a lot easier with an actual one already existing to look at!

"1+2+3+4+5+6=21 to get 21 percent off the already discounted price" makes it sound like Waterstone's 19.99 is supposed to be reduced by a further 21% but unfortunately the website only shows -£0.36 when adding the code!

@topherthe11th23 Күн бұрын
0:17 - It is my understanding (and I may well be totally wrong, hence my raising this as a clarification that may go in either direction) that a First Edition is NOT the same thing as the First Printing. If the presses are stopped and the books are shipped, but the printing-plates are put into storage, that's the First Printing (in my possibly totally-wrong thinking as of now). If later on the plates are retrieved from storage, re-mounted on the presses, and more books (each of which is as identical to any book from the First Printing as any First Printing book might be to any other First Printing book), that is still the First "Edition", referring to the fact that no new EDITORIAL work has been done. It's not a new EDITion. ("Editorial work" for this discussion includes proofreading the printing-plates to make sure they match the author's submitted text, and making choices about how to fill the top and bottom margins (page-numbers, book-title, chapter-title, and the positions relative to the paper of all of those), and whether or not margins contain a decorative border, and whether the pages have, newspaper-style, more than one column of text with or without ornament in the gutters between columns, etc..) So the Second Printing of the First Edition re-uses the same plates with no discretion over layout. If the plates get disassembled, lost, intentionally discarded, dissolved or melted for re-use of the material, and sales warrant printing more, then the whole process of translating the author's submitted text into printing-plates has to be redone, and an entirely new set of choices about layout of the pages has to be made. Then THAT would be the First Printing of the Second Edition, as opposed to merely the next Printing of the First Edition. That's my current understanding (which may well warrant correction) at the time when I typed this.
@JohnDlugosz Күн бұрын
I think the distinction is being eroded with electronic processing. There are no plates to put into storage -- it's a PDF file that gets set-up _in situ_ inside the press. The company will naturally use the latest, current PDF when they make more. I think it would be really hard to get them to use a specific edition instead. I could be wrong-- the technology for Direct Imaging Offset Printing was just beginning to appear when I was working in the industry in the '90's. He said that 10,000 was a rather large run, so we're looking at a step up from the super-laser printers but not the biggest capacity web presses. I just looked it up, and it sounds like the more-normal run (a few thousand, not ten thousand) was right on the border of whether to go DI or traditional offset. But... even with "traditional" printing, the Compute-to-Plate technology is used and they *do not* save the plates after use. A subsequent print run will start from the digital copy again. "Physical plates can be cumbersome to store and are susceptible to damage, oxidation, and wear over time. Storing and handling them properly requires space and resources."
@nienke7713 Күн бұрын
@@JohnDlugoszIn the digital age, one could argue that as long as the same PDF is used without any changes, then it's the same edition, and when the PDF gets changed, then that's a new edition, and that way you could still have multiple print runs from the same edition. That said, I also think that the first edition is likely to have only one print run as it's fairly common to find some mistakes after that first printing that will be fixed before future print runs.

Fair use is the US law; the UK has fair dealing which is different. Also, it wouldn't even be fair use in the US, actually; all works created by US government employees as part of their official duties are public domain, so no one holds the copy rights and thus there's no need for fair use.

Waterstones are funny. You automatically get 20% if you pre-order right now. Entering your discount code saves another 36p. Which, yes, is a triangle number!

And no, I am not complaining that they claim to give you 20% when it's actually 19.5%, because not only is £19.88 not a nice number to sell a book for, but 25 is not a triangle number.
