Not really pulling for an ELI5 here, since that's my guess as to why these topics are constantly talked about, asked about, and (at least) I am always left just as in a quandary as before.

It also seems like these topics' answers, especially Hawking radiation, tend to undo or backtrack or pile on with band-aids one another.

I haven't checked yet to see if PBS SpaceTime has done any videos on this yet, maybe they'll have a decent explanation.

But for now: what are some fair and deeper-than-introductory explanations of these two topics?

For the record, I've walked away from Hawking radiation explanations so confused, mainly because it sounds like people are saying the information of a proton falling in is duplicated and the information of the proton is also radiated.

Suddenly I'm picturing a chair falling in and a chair still surviving (or at least the information that makes up the chair) in the universe, and no wonder I'm scratching my head. Where's the conservation?

Thank you :)

I just finished (re-reading umpteenth time like all of us) King Ottokar's Sceptre and looked at the next title—and finally get to the introduction of the Captain.

I can't wait!! I tend to read other books in between so it'll be a minute, but my copy is in the pile ready to go.

Love this sub-reddit's name!

I just finished King Ottokar's Sceptre and he "steals" a plane from the secret airfield.

I realized as I'm re-reading through these that I would like to pick up on this in particular. I'll pay more attention in future titles, but the previous (to Ottokar's) titles escape me.

I found this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheAdventuresofTintin/comments/vkaizf/aeroplanes_in_tintin/ but it doesn't remind me if the plane was commandeered or borrowed legitimately.

I watched the TdF in the post-Armstrong/Chris Froome days because I would road cycle almost daily and was really into the activity. But it never occurred to me how serious those rides were and I also have memories of cyclists yelling at the cameras at times.

I've only checked in on the '26 TdF a few times and I swear I'm seeing far more smiles, laughs, and people sharing memes online of riders. Plus the cross-rivals helping out (at least the one mechanical).

I feel like it's a stupid question, but I'm also curious if the overall aura seems to just be—despite the brutalness of the whole thing—a pleasant experience?

I'm sure it helps the weather hasn't been insane rains like in some years past.

If I download the audiobook (which I finished), I can hide it. But then I can't remove the download, right?

But if I remove the download, I can't hide it.

I don't want to see the title at all in my library. Is this even possible? Or should I just not buy books from Apple anymore lol

A totally random memory that popped in my head and all I can remember is I think one night they had to remove someone, and then the next night, Conan actually talked about it (in a funny way).

Does that ring a bell for anyone?

I like to pause the video and work out the problems by hand. I got stuck at ρ(x) = e^5 ln|x|.

This is from Prof Leonard, who up to this point in his DE course videos always acknowledges the abs value bars. This time? *poOf* he didn't even draw them in.

My work:

First, I used the log rule so that e^ln|x^5|, which I just found out is incorrect (I saw the teacher do this mannnnny videos ago. Apparently it's ln|x|^5 — maybe he was using an even exponent, I don't know, but I remember distinctly being like "oh, the exponent can go inside the abs immediately?")

Fair.

Second, my main question, I end up with the ρ(x)=|x|^5

I didn't know how to incorporate this back into the original diff EQ because he teaches to ignore the constant of integration at this step of the process.

What to do? Should I keep the constant C there and that'll get rid of the abs value bars and it'll help me visually with what's going on?

I'm not a mathematician, please keep it ELI5 if possible lol

Late Night 9.23.99

Andy says "As opposed to ether" toward the beginning, not sure why his mic was down

Very noob here.

I know Jari Maënpäa has released stems before, but I don't know if that equates to mix volumes?

I'm very curious what fully mastered songs actually sounded like in the recording and mixing stages. I feel like so much is locked up behind the red light and even documentaries tweak things, so those can't really count (that I'm aware) and making-of videos, while informative, don't have true engineering/recording edification intentions.

I forget the name but there's a French metal guy who uploaded videos of him mixing a song, and that's probably what I'm looking for, but it was such a dense, progressive song that it was too difficult to compare final with release.

I'm looking for anything, really, from classical (what does a raw recording sound like compared to the release version) to country to rock.

Without actually going to audio engineering classes (which would be amazing and is on my bucket list), is there a way to hear what's going on?

I just remembered: I watched Ted Jensen mastering at Sterling I think like 15 or 20 years ago somehow on the internet, but it was too subtle to understand what he was doing for my ears.

The lesson I came away from that (which I created in my head) was that only adults were allowed to use fancy phrases. So I wrote like an idiot for the rest of that class and barely scraped by with a passing grade.

She was also drilling into us to recycle paper, so one time I wrote a small essay on dark purple construction paper that had other writing and stuff glued on it, thinking I was "reusing and recycling"—I was not trying to be ironic—but I got an F for not turning it in on regular lined paper, but I mean, practice what you preach, teach.

She's probably dead by now. Barring any medical advancements that may have saved her.

I'm seeing everything on this path now, finally including ATVs. Like, the four wheeler things you see on sand dunes.

I've seen kids driving motorbikes, I've seen two dirt bikes, there are hoverboards and contraptions I didn't even know existed. "Bikes" that pretend to have pedals but are like poor-boy Harley Davidsons, every sound from electric "whine" to "roar" and "put put" to gas-powered grind.

What is one supposed to do? When in Rome it?

Kudos to the Rangers who probably are making these sightings fewer than what they would otherwise be.

I scanned my receipt and got half the points I expected. So instead of a point per dollar spent, it seems to be a point for every $2 spent.

Their website FAQ doesn't seem to specify this. I've contacted them in the meantime but curious if anyone knows

I get that physics and math are so proud of their history and by convention and tradition, so much junk just trickles down and isn't updated or changed.

But if there are any teachers out there, I think it would be great if inverse trig functions (and f^-1(x)) was finally just thrown out the window. Like, I'm willing to bet most people just put up with the notation confusion each year with new students knowing most students will go on with their lives never seeing that notation ever again. So you put up with it (them being confused) year after year after year.

But it needs to go. I feel like it'd take an Act of Congress to get this notation changed.

And i'm dumb for always thinking tan^-1 is cot.

thank you for reading my rant. :)
