Check out the #Brent #WTI spread (spot) in the European premarket: #Iran #OOTT

Honestly folks, beware of those predictions! I mean, why not just $107...? (no offense to Carl, o/c!)
#OOTT

Yes, independent discovery is the predominant lore, tho #Leibniz likely got the idea from Newton's letters, as shown by Hall/Hall. Our 𝘥𝘺/𝘥𝘹 notation, however, goes back to Leibniz. Notice also that Russell, 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴, 1903, §§ 303 ff., described L's #calculus as 'extremely crude.'

Thoughtful remarks! Stumbled across the Mesopotamian barley trader, who 'happens to be the possessor of the first recorded name discovered by historians.' Might be true for historians, but would he really be the first individual w/ a name? Even #Orcas seem to give each other names...😉

Happy Sunday!

Should have said: #Leibniz 'very likely' stole the #calculus from #Newton... There's still some debate; those interested might take a look at:

Haha, sounds like a perfect judgment. Newton would have loved it, from whom Leibniz stole the calculus...

Oh, thank you very much, Don!! I'll definitely read it tomorrow. Nice Sunday read for me then; so thanks again!

Yes, what are (both of) you thinking about it? (won't be able to thank you before tomorrow, tho ;-)

A good night from here!

just checking few things for something I'm working on.

A happy weekend from here (so far as it goes, at least, given the state of world affairs...)

Trump says US has begun ‘major combat operations’ in Iran after Israel launches strikes - live Israel’s military sounded air raid sirens across the country ‘to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward Israel’ in retaliation

Looks like they've begun ~8:00 AM #Israel time (GMT+2/CET+1): #Iran

Please notice: #NYSE stock trading stops 4:00 PM ET (22:00 CET), #Globex futures trading begins Sunday 6:00 PM ET again (0:00 CET).
This is perhaps the window for possible strikes against #Iran. That's not to say it'll happen this weekend; it applies o/c to any weekend.

Home - Oodi Oodi is Helsinki’s new Central Library and a living meeting place. It will function as a living room for residents, located right at the heart of Helsinki.

I also recently heard about this interesting concept of Helsinki's new #Oodi #library, where you not only can read & borrow books, but which is designed as a central community space for people to 'hang out' for all kinds of social purposes.

And for how it all may go from here, check Tony's post. That's it from me on #scotus #trump #tariffs for now.

A happy weekend all!

𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤'𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐃𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 carries a lot of weight throughout—they're certainly not great thinkers over on the bench.
Here's #Kavanaugh, dissenting. And again: If you're a law student, don't take these folks as role models. Try to think for yourself... ;-)
#scotus #trump #tariffs

What will happen to Trump’s tariffs after supreme court verdict? 6-3 ruling against unilateral imposition of tariffs without congressional approval labelled a ‘disgrace’ by Trump

For those who don't want to read the whole damn thing, plus what it means so far for the #UK & #EU: #scotus #trump #tariffs

It sure makes pretty pictures; just looked it up: www.canon.co.uk/cameras/eos-... Was impressed by how sharp your photos are of these tiny flying folks (& as you can tell, I'm not a photographer myself... ;-).

A happy weekend from here!

That's what the Right is so concerned about (Gorsuch, concurring, p. 17). Presser just got started, btw
#scotus #trump #tariffs

Note that the ruling is only 21 pages (excluding the Syllabus); the rest of the overall 170 pages is concurring & dissenting opinions #SCOTUS #trump #tariffs

They should have elaborated more on the 'dizzying array' here, I guess #SCOTUS #trump #tariffs

Looks like they basically live off 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤'𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐃𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲. If you're a first year law student, don't do that! #SCOTUS #trump #tariffs

At least they've got this one right... #SCOTUS #Trump #tariffs

Wut, 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤'𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐃𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲?⁣
That's lazy! #SCOTUS #Trump #tariffs

YouTube video by Rick Beato I'm Sick Of This AI SH*T

And while I'm at it, I've got to admit that above video is terribly amateurish, given what's apparently going on in the #music industry, particularly on #Spotify & the #AIslop there. Here's #RickBeato (via @antjeg.bsky.social).

That's it from me on this & a happy weekend all!

As much as I'd appreciate sober thought on all the BS abt a #Mars mission coming from #SpaceX #ElonMusk, this video is fraudulent.
Even though the channel is tiny—launched just few weeks ago—, the #YouTube recommendations algo seems to wash it into people's feeds: Richard #Feynman #physics #AIslop

Just reported the channel to UTube after having watched the whole thing this morning.
Apart from some shaky #physics, there's lotta allusions that don't even fit historically, the most funny of which being the one to the #ISS: Launched 1998, #Feynman died 1988...

A happy weekend from here!

Sure, got your intention 😉.
But it's neither from the original Feynman Lectures, as published by CalTech in 1963-65 (www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu ), nor from any other lectures of his. Rather seems they make up their own stuff & present it with his voice via an AI engine. Looks more like AI slop.
