油田单位：一套让我改行的诅咒测量系统 [视频]
本视频深入探讨了石油行业中使用的独特且令人困惑的测量单位体系，如“桶”、“标准立方英尺”和“API度”。视频解释了这些非标准单位如何源于历史习惯和工程实用性，但同时也暴露出它们缺乏一致性、难以转换和不直观的缺点。作者以自身经历说明，这套过时且混乱的测量系统足以让一个专业人士决定改行。

A new paper by Thomas Bloom, Will Sawin, Carl Schildkraut and Dmitrii Zhelezov disproves a well-known conjecture in additive combinatorics. The result shows there exist arbitrarily large finite sets A of real numbers where max(|A+A|,|AA|) ≤ |A|^{2-c}. The solution was achieved by humans using methods related to an earlier AI solution to the unit distance conjecture.
