As a follow-up to my previous question Is non-physicalism reasonable?, I would like to know about non-physicalist ways of acquiring knowledge that philosophers have considered. What sorts of knowledge can be acquired through (partially) non-physicalist means, according to alternative views that r...

All twelve pentominoes can be obtained by attaching a single unit square (edge to edge) to one of the squares that make up one (or more) of the following four tetrominoes: a) What is the least number of pentominoes required so that all 35 hexominoes can be obtained by attaching (edge to edge)...

I have a tuple curve which defines a set of points {x, y} parametrised by t. These are some fairly nasty functions built up of InterpolatingFunctions.

I have recently gotten to the end of a Tomb of Annihilation campaign as a player (potential spoilers ahead) and during our final fight, a magic item was used to apply the following effect to our party: Invoke Curse.

I'm trying to better understand RSA. One attack I've read about is when the encrypted message $y$ and $N = p\cdot q$ share a common factor. If this happens, we can easily factor $N$ to obtain $p$ and $q$. What are some strategies that can mitigate this potential issue?

Can anybody help me identify the IC marked "MC 4"?

I ran into a YouTube video that claims the Gospels of Luke and Mathew contradict on the name of Joseph's father.

I have an ESP32 connected to Wi-Fi 2.4GHz. It is positioned next to my PC's Wi-Fi USB dongle, which is connected to the same network at 5GHz.

Just as an example, let's say I am modeling the rolling of a die. We can use the frequentist definition of probability to define a probability of an event, say rolling a 6, as the $\lim_{n\to\infty}$$\frac{n_6}{n}$, where n is the total number of rolls and $n_6$ is the number of times we obtain a...

I have imported an obj object from Boxshot. Everything is fine except it looks like the texture is a bit transparent. You can see it on the attached image.

What is the fundamental nature/ontology of knowledge? Is knowledge a physical state? Is knowledge a specific arrangement of physical particles in a brain, a book, a solid state drive, a GPU, etc.?

Let $S_{g,n}$ denote a genus $g$ surface with $n$ punctures. There is a map $F$ from the Teichmüller space of the punctured surface $T(S_{g,n})$ to the Teichmüller space of the compact surface $T(S_{g})$ obtained by filling in the punctures. Is this a fiber bundle? Is the pre-image of this forget...

This is a spin-off of an older question done by me, was Bethany beyond the Jordan a place of significance? John the Baptist preached at Bethany, outside of Jerusalem: John 1:28 This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing. Since Jerusalem was the capita...

For a family of smooth projective varieties over the complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$, it's well-known that: The Hodge numbers $h^q(X,\Omega_X^p)$ are constant in the family (since they are uppersemicontinuous functions that sum to the Betti numbers, which are topological invariants and hence consta...

In my first high school chemistry class, I misremembered nitrate as being $\ce{NH2-}$, rather than $\ce{NO3-}$, and wrote down a formula for "ammonium nitrate" that was $\ce{NH4NH2}$ (rather than $\ce{NH4NO3}$). Now I'm curious if that could actually exist. I tried seeing if $\ce{NH2-}$ could exi...

In my understanding, POSIX only specifies a set of APIs that OS needs to provide. But it doesn’t specify the implementation detail, specifically the assemble level compatibility.
