First off, hello there, I'm deadbabies, and I will be taking over as /sci/ moderator. Rules will remain the same. Please use the report function if you see posts that violate the rules, but also do not abuse it.

I have officially expanded the scope of /sci/ a bit. You may discuss Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics here now. No science is discriminated against as long as it's of the peer-reviewed variety. If someone wants to discuss Anthropology or Social Science, by all means, let them. If you do not like it, just don't post in the thread.

The IRC channel #/sci/ is now (finally) re-registered and I am running as operator on here. Feel free to stop by and say hi. I do leave my computer idling on IRC, so check back or leave me a message if you have any ideas, suggestions, or just want to tell me off. You can get onto #/sci/ by joining the server irc.7chan.org at port 6667. You can also use SSL at port 6697 but you will have to set your client to accept invalid certificates.

ADDITIONALLY and IMPORTANTLY I have had several requests on IRC regarding the old Ebook FTP that we used to have. Unfortunately, the mod who ran it entered the military and no longer runs or maintains it. I have no plans to make another one, but if one of you guys would like to, by all means advertise here.

That being said, I'm just going to leave this link here:

http://ebookee.org/index.php?tag=7

You may find what you seek here.

I will be unstickying the old ebook/source articles thread. Please post any new ebooks/source articles here, and feel free to post any working links from the old thread there; I will eventually be deleting it.

If you suffer from insomnia, then I can imagine how much it interferes with your life. I had insomnia for a long time, but I eventually solved this problem with cbd gummies. In general, you can choose any form of cbd, this online store https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/products/full-spectrum-cbd-gummies has a fairly large selection of cbd supplements, but cbd gummies are my favorite because they are delicious.

Yeah I was doing some reading about this.
The CIA released some documents about their investigation into the Monroe Institute's Gateway Experience and found that they could not reproduce the effects of the hypnotic tones while using vacuum tubes or some such, so that they concluded the hypnotic effects were caused by the electromagnetic waves in the headphones and not the acoustic waves of the recording. Of course, any neurotransmitters in your brain are going to resonate with some specific frequency, so it's no surprise to me if sound waves can effect cognition.

And, Yes I am a lawyer.
Yes GRSecurity is contravening the "u can't put any additional restrictions not mentioned in the text of this license" clause of the GPL; vs both the Linux Kernel and the GCC "plugins" they distribute subject to their(GRSecurity's) "no redistribution" clause (which has been effective: the source has not leaked: GRSecurity has made it's patches to the linux kernel and GCC proprietary)

The GCC "plugins" are non-separable derivative works, just as their linux-kernel patches are non-separable derivative works. They only work regarding the parent work.

Don't believe me: read the real player case then. Go on. Read it. If you even make some 3rd party program that messes with the look of the other program you can be violating the copyright on the other program. Go read the case. There are others but when I tell you people you just say "DURR WHY NOT JUST DISTRIBUTe A DiFF and GeT aRoUnD the GpL thaT wAy"

Why won't RMS sue? Because he has women lawyers surrounding him who don't want to do shit. That's actually their job: to dissuade RMS etc from taking any Copyright action and upsetting the "GPL-as-effectivly-BSD-Licensed" status-quoe that emerged.

The only courageous one was Bruce Perens who fought abit of the good fight.
Note: ANY of these federal copyright lawsuits would cost probably half-a-million or more for the Copyright owner to prosecute.
RMS's foundation doesn't want to do it.
GPL rots in it's grave.

I have no idea about the details, but I do know one thing: the GPL is cancer that needs to go away. If companies are starting to test the waters then let them. If the FSF doesn't want to pursue legal action then let them. Hopefully people will stop taking the GPL seriously. I'll dance on its conceptual grave the day that happens.

And yeah, obviously the FSF has nothing to do with the Linux Foundation.

Me too. Picrel (for both of my replies).

Thing is that Stallman is like oblivious of hardware manufacturers. Raspberry Pi and Audrino are nice hobbies. But then there's non-computers such as synths. Korg's Montron and Monotribe are moddable. Those who mod their own synths are probably the least insufferable people there is. BUT, if you allow for modding that voids the warranty - you will sell more hardware. Basic tools to actually do the modding. And kits to replace it when someone was a huge faggot and ran a soldering iron trough a mainboard.

Prime test Anonymous 22/02/17(Thu)19:25 No. 18131 ID: f85074 [Reply]

Today one of my recurring dream characters named Jennifer Zemblini gave me a prime number test that correctly validated the first few hundred prime numbers in under 3 seconds using C# code I wrote to validate her primality test!

I wanted to share the primality test with you all now.

It uses only simple division, addition and subtraction. And three variables called n, A and B.

n is defined as the number being tested for primeness. A0 is n-2 and B0 is 2.

Then apply this procedure: Divide A by B, if it is not a clean division, meaning there is a remainder, add one to B and subtract one from A, and repeat this step until B approaches one-half of n.

If A can never divide evenly into B then n is prime.

For example with n=9, which is not prime: A = 9-2. B =2. 7/2 is not even. 6/3 does evenly divide with result 2. And 3 is a factor of 9 also.

But for a prime like 13: 11/2... 10/3... 9/4... 8/5... 7/6... None of these divide cleanly with no remainder, therefore 13 is prime.

>quotient is still zero when dividend = n, thus n % m == (n + m * k) % m for any integer k.
This is an error. I meant to say that the remainder is still zero.

Anonymous 22/06/19(Sun)13:11 No. 18281 ID: e5a2d8

I want to clarify that you don't need to sweap across the entire half of the number. If there are no such A and B before B is greater than sqrt(n). There won't be any at all.
And what you did is just a fancy way to do Euclid primality test by checking the first sqrt(n) numbers if any divide n. Since you are checking if B divides A which is none but n-B
Since for all B, B divides itself
So B divides the sum of n-B and B = n
So you're back with the normal primality test, maybe even worse cause you are wasting time computing n-B.
Your Jennifer is retarded.

Anonymous 23/07/26(Wed)00:04 No. 18683 ID: cbe355

Your primality test is 100% right and there is no exception to it. The only problem is that it's not only inefficient (it has an asymptotic complexity of O(n)) but it is basically testing the divisibility of n by any number in the range (2,n/2).

Theoretically, how fucked up would I be if someone used a keylogger on my machine for a few month and leaked my bank account details (online password, PIN, security questions etc) on the Darkweb?

Not worried at all but I just wonder how good these computer hackers are at clearing accounts. Aren't there limits depending on the level of your account? They definitely can get around I.P alerts when accounts are accessed in different countries.

Hackers prefer to target businesses for large transactions, because they know few people have $100,000 lying around, while a huge number of businesses have access to that much credit.
