The description of the monk's class feature Diamond Soul says the following: Beginning at 14th level, your mastery of ki grants you proficiency in all saving throws. Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 ki point to reroll it and take the second result. Does t...

I have a bath towel but it is not long enough for me to to tie a knot in the towel or let me tuck its edge in the bath towel itself. For that reason, I need to use a peg to get the towel in a fixed position. Is it correct to say "I fixed the towel with a peg"?

As a DM, I have a planned a medium encounter for my party of 5 characters.

I saw this question here, but it doesn't have a clear answer. Suppose I have a simple logistic regression model with binary x: $log(p/(1-p)) = \beta_0 + \beta_1x$ Then I know: $p/(1-p) = e^{\beta_0 + \beta_1x}$ and $p = e^{\beta_0 + \beta_1x}/(1 + e^{\beta_0 + \beta_1x})$ So if x=0, then the mode...

I'm preparing a treasure hoard for a group of four level-two PCs (Cleric, Monk, Fighter, and Wizard).

I'm a bit perplexed after working on a kaggle data science competition for a month now. It's tabular data, all real/floating point numbers, on the order of maybe 100k examples, 100ish features, and a single output (real) number to predict. I've been using dense neural networks and have gotten goo...

EDIT - Corrected code is at the bottom of the OP. Background While working on a circuit to log carbon dioxide with a K30 CO2 sensor using an Adafruit Data Logging Shield, I ran into a problem. The I2C address of the RTC on the shield has a collision with the address of the CO2 sensor. The addre...

I am trying to simulate a simple blanket onto the bed (a plane subdivided 20 times). All the objects that the blanket will fall are set as collisions. The cloth has self-collisions turned on.

Someone recently brought it up that this: uint8_t a = 0b10000000; int8_t b = *(int8_t*) &a; is UB, because the value of a is outside of what I can represent in int8_t. Can someone explain why exactly this is UB? My main issue is that the memory is there, and is valid as the memory for int8_t, th...

Unfortunately I have very limited memories of this show, but it’s most likely either from the late '80s or early '90s. It’s a live action show, not animated.

I noticed today that every set of twin primes except for $(3,5)$ and $(5,7)$ seems to have one of the two primes that can be represented by the sum of two squares. For example: \begin{eqnarray*} 13=3^2+2^2 \\ 17=4^2+1^2 \\ 29=5^2+2^2 \end{eqnarray*} ... (sum of two squares works for all of these,...

Take any 16 digit number, where the first group of 4 digits is repeated 3 more times, e.g. 1,234,123,412,341,234 is such a number. Such a number is always divisible by 17. It even works when starting with zero: 0432043204320432 ! I did not expect that! How is it that this is true? I've got ...

I've been researching for some time how to cover a curved stair riser that had been previously tiled. I wasn't pleased with the look of the tile, so I removed it and sanded back the mastic before veneering. However, the veneer was too thin and it left a significant gap between the tile and the ri...

I am going to take a very simple example to elaborate my question. When we integrate $\sec (x)\,dx$ we divide and multiply by $\sec (x) + \tan (x)$. $$\int \sec(x)\,dx = \int \sec (x) \left[{\sec (x) + \tan (x) \over \sec (x) + \tan (x)}\right]\, dx$$ I am just solving from here. $$\int {\sec^2(x...

A new paper [1] has the following result. We prove for $100\%$ of primes $p$ that \begin{equation} 2p^{\frac{k-1}{2}}\frac{\log \log p}{ \sqrt{\log p}} < |a_f (p)| < 2p^{\frac{k-1}{2}}. \end{equation} The authors claim that this is true on a subset of primes of density one, the complete details a...

TLDR Someone claims $\mathbb{R}$ can be constructed as the following intriguing quotient, which is related to Gromov's bounded cohomology.

person rather new to physics here, and I just started on a rather simple book on particle physics, but I was flustered to learn that there are particles without mass enforcing the fundamental forces (Like the gluon or the Higgs boson).

In German "das Meer" means the sea "zee" in Dutch. "Die See" means the lake, "meer" in Dutch. We see that these words are used reciprocal to the Dutch words for sea and lake. Why is that? "Meer" in Dutch means "more" too. Does the German "meer" has a comparable meaning, so maybe this is the groun...

Let $R$ be a ring of global dimension $1$.

I've just learned that the Dirac Hamiltonian in the Dirac Equation is given by $H = c\alpha \cdot \overrightarrow{p} + \beta mc^2$ and $\alpha$ is a 4 X 4 represented as $\begin{bmatrix} 0 & \sigma \\ \sigma & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ where the $\sigma$s are Pauli Spin matrices. We know that $\overrig...

They are a bit too technical for me at the moment to read, but I want to understand the following (vague but conceptual) question: What is the role of the univalence axiom in these proofs? Usually, ...

We have a board with two BGA chips. Due to the current shortage of many parts, one of the chips is next-to-impossible to find; except that we found a supplier with a good stock of the non-RoHS / leaded version of the chip (which is a discontinued product, but this supplier happens to have a pr...

I submitted a paper to a mathematics journal last year and got a "revise and resubmit" type of response. I edited the paper following some of the referees' comments and suggestions, but the paper has changed quite substantially since then. I brought on a coauthor, reworked some of the basics (n...
