The mechanic who repairs the cars knows how the engine works.
The telco that manages loads and allocates networks knows how voice compression works.
The farmers and supermarkets know how the supply chain works.
None of your questions show why mathematics should include blobs of incomprehensible gloop, where no mathematician, no logician, no philosopher, no man on the street can make sense of said gloop, or use it in any way to further human knowledge.
When it's been decomposed down we can discuss this further, but now it's like saying red is red, just because.
Well, you said people can't use things they don't understand.
But I'll take your expanded statement, to include riding a horse, something even older than the engine. We don't understand fully how a horse works -- biology is still a matter of seeing fragments of the whole -- but people had no problem riding and breeding them before the invention of the car, and before the discovery of genetics.
Meanwhile, understanding the math of a thing -- like stock markets, or nuclear bombs -- does not prevent its use from going badly.
Math is useful and beautiful, and a helpful tool for expanding our understanding of the world, but it is not the whole of understanding, or the sole factor in successful application of science to the world .
My family used to farm a chunk of land in Lincolnshire, UK. Many of our farms were on or surrounded by active or decommissioned RAF bases.
I learnt to drive on the unused tarmac at one of those old bases, RAF Wickenby. As the parent poster mentioned, many of the bases are worth a visit and Wickenby in particular has a memorial to airmen lost in the world wars.
Dunholme Lodge was defunct RAF base near the then active V-bomber base RAF Scampton. It was a favourite place for us RAF kids to explore - the concrete of the torn up runway provided all sorts of caves, and there was a deserted multi-storey control tower, which was quite frightening when the winds were blowing. This would have been the early 1960s - I think it is all farmland or new-build housing now.
That was on a neighbouring farm to one of ours. It’s just a bit of concrete in the middle of their fields now. You possibly got shouted at by my famously grumpy grandad.
Didn't see this before. My dad was a happy farmer, but the stereotype holds in general. Weather, markets, governments, voters (bloody Brexit) all attract farmers' ire. And even when it's going well, they're still working harder than 63.5% of the populace.
Seems the stereotype might have skipped a generation :)
Well, I don't think farmers had to worry so much about those things back when I was a chid - they seemed to just like shouting. It's not like there was much we could wreck - the last use of Dunholme Lodge (as far as I'm aware) was as a Bloodhound SAM battery, notionally protecting Scampton. Anyway, I enjoyed playing at the place (RAF did not unfortunately leave the odd missile around), and as I said I never encountered your grandpa. :-)
My dad died of cancer(s) fifteen years ago. He spent his final month in bed at home, chatting with us and friends, knowing that he’d soon be gone, bed bound but sharp as a tack.
The day before he died, he climbed nimbly out of bed and did a little jig to show how spry he was.
Charming in its own way, although his lack of garments on his lower body (it made life easier as functions became less controlled) added a certain edginess to the event.
DaVinci 21 has indexing built-in (AI IntelliSearch). Not to diminish the work you did, but this is now available to many users (probably only Studio users since it has AI in the name)
Yes, I didn’t look at it. But does it upload your videos to the cloud or process them locally? And does it allow to provide custom faces data to help labeling faces in your videos ?
I think Adobe premiere pro have it as well but cloud processed
Do you not see the difference between Trumpian dictator-level “involvement” and regular day-to-day steering of legislation in a party-friendly manner?
This is laughable “both parties are as bad” thinking. By reasonable standards your current government has gone through involvement, passed straight through tampering and is now into nation-destruction mode. It’s a new thing for the rest of the world to see.
No, that would be reverted for "violating the author's intent" if you edited an existing answer, and if you posted a new answer it'd be permanently at the end of the list because it would never attract many votes due to being at the end of the list.
Lame, I know, but you have to entertain yourself sometimes when the only thing anybody talks about here is ruddy spicy autocorrect and self-inflicted job destruction.
