perhaps czm is the next john carmack

he did make that one game, didn't he. is it still available? it was rail only i think.

gl to Paul, he has a big part in quake history.

ultrono arena

- No. Rail + LG + rocket. Five maps and possibility to launch game server, connect to it and play. All in five megabytes.

that silhouette...

8llllD

- Not me did it in that way. )))

lol

It's PROFESSOR czm now! Congrats on tenure! Doubt he ever visits ESR, though.

Math is so cool. The science of patterns... Patterns are the essence of our reality - from the natural sciences to art.

deep bruh

That's the only way I roll.

u little pattern u

You strange loop

so sexy

someone remind me of his "funny" twitter please

ultrono519 my lord

I see fractals everywhere!

mm parallelograms, mm functions

if this stuff doesn't get me pussy tonight, nothing will

hahah. This is so cool.

Awesome.

Nice, I'm not the only quaker mathematician!

you aint a mathematician unless you get paid for it bro

Could be argued. Quite a few notable mathematicians in history were hobbyists, more or less. As to a more current example, Grigori Perelman refused to be a professional mathematician at some point.

Fact is, some think that the moment you're getting paid for it you kind of stop being a mathematician.

Could be. On the other hand I'm not prepared to call just anyone with a maths degree a mathematician.

True, though I always respect people who are good at the subject, it would be amazing to see the world through the eyes of a mathematician for a day and ask myself, is the subject a truth, or is it just another man made system designed to explain things based on the only way we can explain them, or whether its a truth which transcends different galaxies.

Does 1+1 really equal 2 for every lifeform outside of this galaxy, assuming it exists, which it most probably does.

If not then, probably everything we think we know about numbers is one giant, wasted misconception built on the assumptions of others and merely designed to serve us.

That would bother me as I would imagine the motive for every math guy is discovery.

I would rather put my time into something with a simpler, and more certain outcome.

Probably why I don't do religion either.

u = 0

what is if it's neither of those? http://www.iep.utm.edu/wittmath/

there's almost some kind of relation here. Mathematicians that aren't mathematicians, philosopher that doesn't believe other philosophers are any use

idk what you're saying :O

wittgenstein said most if not all philosophical problems were considered real because of language, and that he solved them with his theory on language.

Or something like that, I'm from the brave new generation that reads summaries instead of original works

there are philosophical problems, and he thought most of them were caused by language. it wouldn't be right call his works a theory, it's more like, in his words, a therapy.

If not then, probably everything we think we know about numbers is one giant, wasted misconception built on the assumptions of others and merely designed to serve us.

You mean like money and 99% of the shit we as humans occupy our time with?

You seem confused.

Math is math and not a science because whatever is in math has been proven.

The issue is never whether 2+2=4, it's whether this kind of arithmetic is relevant as a model for the real world in the particular case. Meanwhile, math is perfect, 2+2 is always four under the specific axioms.

Doesn't matter. Just meant to remind you, that money isn't a measurement of anything except money.

Just think Van Gogh. During his entire lifetime he sold exactly one painting, to his brother. Who bought it out of love. Does that mean anything? And now his works are being traded for millions. Does that mean anything?

Somebody being paid for anything or not has no relevance whatsoever. Except them being paid or not.

well... success is a measurement.

The people you listed had higher degrees of success than your average hired mathematician, therefor they were mathematicians. But for us mere mortals, being hired as a teacher/researcher is a relevant level of degree which might be meaningful to use as a distinction for who is a mathematician or not.

ETHZ is an amazing school, this is very cool.

The lecture was very, very, very, very, very, (...) funny.

Indeed

.

He gets it. That's just the "what an unfair world, I'm so much better, why did have to be born in Poland" face.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaco He's not a poland ball D:

Oh, in that case he's really not getting it.

Or you just don't find it funny.

Why's strenx sitting at the back?

hm, switzerland

1056 hits on this thread and still no joke about rekt-angles? :(

or frag-tals :(

Because you'd have to be square to say something like that.

Quit circle jerkin'

thanks for sharin. enjoyed it a lot

so you're saying there is a chance...

.

Skilled people like Princeton are fine, wanky scraps of shit who would jump ship and lick a bell for minimum wage because they don't have the genes to stay and make their own places a success, not so much.

wait, you genuinely believe this comes down to genes?

Unless you're from a part of the world where the harshness of the local climate handicaps you in some way....

How do you explain why some countries are much more influential, productive and successful than others?

hahahaha

South American debate. Best in the world...

do you truly believe that 'genes' have to do in any way with the world order and power/influence distribution? you should be locked up in a cell lol

Jam-jam power.

- Wales is not Germany.
- Skulp lives in an apt worth about one million dollars. Your own properties are worth exactly $0.
- It's sad seeing an old man seeking for attention, especially when he has to resort to playing the fool for that.

Then again, you've said before that you are an immigrant yourself (from Wales), that didn't finish high school, that works from home and that isn't able to buy a place of his own.

So with that said, as the immigrant you are, what's your contribution to England then?
Also, did you make Wales a better place (which is your logic) before being carried to England by your brother?
And most importantly, do you really believe that a morbid obese, poor and maintained 40 year old man, that is a compulsive liar, has better genes than, well, anyone else in the world?

You can't even tell the truth about my age without elevating me into my 40's.

And you talk about me being a liar?

Tell you what though, if I can prove I am less than 40 to an ESR head admin, will you give up your account on ESR to me?

If I can't, you can have mine, and I will transfer 2k for a ESR quakelive tourney?

Sounds good?

Now ladies and gents, watch how this big mouth south american who shares nothing about who he is (because that's always a good sign!), kicks scratches and bites and the most basic of tests regarding his integrity and reliability for discussing something as basic as a mere age, let alone anything else.

That's how easy it is to take care of this little bitch :)

I dominate him with better experiences of being a gamer.
he can't handle it and tells lies about me.
I then offer to prove his lie.
He then realises it will cost him his account (because he's a liar).
he shuts up, or tries to change the subject to a very simple offer.
I smugly walk off into the sunset.
he shuts up for a while.
Then the whole thing loops over again when he's going nuts.

Its all very amusing.

How is the weight loss going btw?

16.5 stone and xmas around the corner, outlook not good.

That's good, keep it up

The introduction is such a disgrace, princeton , national tech blabla, assistant professor but not a single word about quake. They have no idea who they have standing in front of them. ignorant fools.

i watched all of it.

do you feel smarter?

I was absorbed by it, it was surprisingly interresting to me. Now i regret smoking so much during physic/math class :F

I watched the entire thing, and it surely span out of control around the 30min mark.
After that point I noticed he had a ring on his finger, did not know czm got married.
So I learned something today.

He might be a sonic fan, not the .gif guy.
