No entendĂ­ lo de vender programadores por kilo

mortal dagger
#

basicamente, las empresas que tienen 3.000 programadores venden proyectos a las empresas y te dicen "vamos a poner a 100 desarrolladores en tu proyecto" y cobran por eso

ashen mist
#

Oh, eso

mortal dagger
#

cobran el sueldo de 100 personas

#

y el proyecto lo hacen 2

#

las otras 98 personas solo estĂĄn ahĂ­ haciendo bulto

real imp
#

Bien por ellas

#

No trabajan y les pagan

mortal dagger
#

sĂ­, hay gente que le gusta eso

real imp
#

Todo el mundo quisiera que les paguen por no hacer nada

mortal dagger
#

pero el ambiente es sĂșper pesao, la gente se trata sĂșper mal

#

mhm, yo no

real imp
#

El tiempo lo podés usar para otra cosa

ashen mist
#

Quiero hacer cosas, con tal de que me gusten

real imp
#

Yo usarĂ­a ese tiempo para una startup

mortal dagger
#

es que las primeras semanas es entretenido

#

ahĂ­ estĂĄ el truco amigo, no puedes hacer una startup por contrato

#

todo el cĂłdigo que generes dentro del periodo donde estĂĄs trabajando es propiedad de la empresa

#

y te hacen firmar una cantidad absurda de papeles

#

pero al tiempo frustra, de esas empresas siempre sale gente con ansiedad, depresión, frustrados o técnicamente poco håbiles

#

porque pierden la costumbre

#

antes habĂ­a una pĂĄgina que se llamaba devpressed, que eran devs con depresiĂłn y estaba lleno de historias asĂ­

#

gente de oficina de 9 a 5, sin mucho trabajo que hacer, ganando bien y de repente se sienten vacĂ­os e inĂștiles

#

o también estå el caso contrario en estas mismas empresas, que les dicen "moledoras de carne"

#

que venden proyectos con tiempos de entrega en 1 mes por ejemplo, sabiendo que el desarrollo se demora mĂ­nimo 3 meses

#

esas empresas son famosas por comprar pizza y tener taxis a la salida todos los dĂ­as

#

porque cuando estås por salir te dicen "oye, estamos cerca del deadline, ¿por qué no te quedas un rato? te vamos a dejar a la casa y compramos comida"

real imp
#

Pero no que te sacan el startup sĂ­ y sĂłlo si usĂĄs la infraestructura de la empresa?

#

AsĂ­ pasa en la serie Silicon Valley

#

Que justo usĂł una computadora de Hooli y le hicieron problemas al loco

mortal dagger
#

cualquier empresa tipo Sonda, Everis, Accenture y esas cosas te hacen firmar un contrato aparte

#

Silicon Valley es todo un cosmos en-si-mismo

#

y tiene sus propios vicios

real imp
#

EstĂĄ buena la serie

#

Es entretenida

I made a scuffed soundboard and got a light to blink. Then got bored and turned it into a media box behind the tv for pirating literally everything

@gentle heath what did you use for your media box? We're looking into making one

#

Or like, even better, what's your overall strategy?

#

What goes on between "I want to watch X" and "now I'm watching X"

gentle heath
#

This was time ago

#

I had a raspberry pi

#

With XBMC(?) installed as the OS

#

You can set repos as a source for media and I found one full of literally everything

#

Just search for a series and it's all there

#

Eventually that repo got shut down but I found a new one

#

As is the life of a pirate @glass dragon

glass dragon
#

Oh ok I didn't know there were repos. And then was there some user interface that you installed for it?

gentle heath
#

The interface was XBMC

#

or some Linux version of it

glass dragon
#

Is that a media os?

gentle heath
#

That I installed on my rpi

#

Yep

#

I replaced the original OS with it

glass dragon
#

Oh ok so it just worked seamlessly

#

Like super plug-and-play

gentle heath
#

MĂĄs o menos

glass dragon
#

Just install the os, update a repo, and done

gentle heath
#

Some of the stuff on the repo didn't always work since it wasn't official

#

But 90%

#

Yes

glass dragon
#

I think we're going about this all wrong, then. We were thinking of setting up a Plex server and downloading everything we might want to watch

gentle heath
#

I watched all of game of thrones n my family were very glad they had me when I taught them how to use it

#

That's the official way to use plex

#

These repos full of pirated content exist too

#

Finding them is up to you

#

I did this abt 4 years ago I can't remember exacts

My pc is totaled rip

#

Restarted it and the disk won’t go down

It won’t go down from 100%

100% of what?

#

100% spin speed?

rain ermine
#

100% of usage

Ohhh

#

Did you restart it again?

rain ermine
#

I didn’t want to

@rain ermine it is normal for disks to be at 100% usage

rain ermine
#

But it slows down my pc

ashen mist
#
  • reading from and writing to disk is slower compared to other computer operations
rain ermine
#

Wdym

real imp
#

It doesnt slow down your pc lol

real imp
#

Your pcs gotta do that

#

Or it wont work

ashen mist
#
  • well page thrashing will actually slow your stuff down
#
  • cuz no one can use ram efficiently
rain ermine
#

Well the thing is

#

It keeps staying at 100%

#

And when it goes down and I open another application

#

The disk percentage goes up

ashen mist
#
  • see if you can hit 200%
rain ermine
#

It can’t

#

That’s imposible

ashen mist
#
  • You just gotta believe
#
  • 200% is when you start using your neighbor's disk
rain ermine
#

Yeah my pc was never like this

There’s something slowing to down big time

Here’s the bad news: As far as we can tell, occasional high CPU usage from the Windows Modules Installer Worker process on Windows 10 is just normal.

The good news is that, if you allow it to run, the process will eventually finish and stop using CPU and disk resources. The Windows Modules Installer worker process will finish and it will disappear from the running processes in Task Manager. How long it will take depends on the speed of your computer’s CPU and storage, as well as on how many updates it needed to install.

BRUH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR FIVE MINUTES

will it reset when i startup my pc again

ashen mist
#
  • 5 minutes for a windows update? you must be new
#
You’ll see some bad advice online recommending you should disable the Windows Modules Installer system service to prevent this from happening. This will prevent Windows from installing updates properly, and you shouldn’t do it.

Similarly, others may recommend setting your network connection to “metered”, which will prevent Windows 10 from automatically downloading and install many updates. This will prevent the Windows Modules Installer process from activating, but your computer won’t install critical security updates that can protect you from malware like the WannaCry ransomware, which exploited a bug patched two months before it was released. Avoiding operating system updates is dangerous, and we don’t recommend it.

Sure, you could install updates manually—but the Windows Modules Installer Worker process will run after a manual update, anyway. It’s probably best to just bite the bullet and allow the TiWorker.exe process to occasionally do its thing. This is just how Windows installs updates, and it’s for your own good.

haha yes

#

you got it

#

@mossy cloud have you taken calculus by any chance?

mossy cloud
#

Yeah

#

I move onto higher mathematics next semester

gusty ermine
#

awesomeeeee

#

I am taking AP Calculus and realizing the limit of my brain

#

so i've been asking help in many servers

mossy cloud
#

How's your calc teacher?

gusty ermine
#

i feel like the class i am taking is more of independent study rather than learning in class. My teacher is really nice but most of the things we have to figure out on our own or ask him for help. Literally everyone is behind (luckily I got caught up on homework today because I went to school and asked my teacher for help) and I can't help but feeling so dumb.

mossy cloud
#

Oh yeah, definitely

gusty ermine
#

My friend who is Chinese and I (Korean) decided that we are not worthy to be asians

mossy cloud
#

It's unfair for other people to hold us (I'm asian too, Vietnamese) to that stereotype, so it's unfair for us to hold ourselves to that stereotype too. But it's not that you're bad at it. I think you just need to learn how your brain learns and thinks too

#

And asking questions will always be your friend

real imp
#

Lmao but that's an awesome stereotype

#

I wish I was seen as smart just from my looks

#

I dont think there is a better compliment than that, racist or not

#

Though I do get that it could get old

gusty ermine
#

It is a joke but also I am the ultimate asian stereotype. I play piano (classical piano since I was really young), flute, tennis, and chess. I am fairly good at school and involved in tons of activities. I joke about it, and it's kinda sad and funny at the same time. I used to be good at math (hecking calculus).

real imp
#

But idk

#

Yeah you play the piano well

gusty ermine
#

Surprisingly, I thought about dropping out from calculus more than enough times, but somehow i have the highest grade in the class despite not knowing anything. I still feel extremely dumb. I never wanna go into math

real imp
#

Does your class suck?

gusty ermine
#

also, I wanna go into biology, and a lot of asians wanna do that

mossy cloud
#

That's hilarious

#

I love stem, but I absolutely loathe biology

gusty ermine
#

As said previously, my class is more of independent study than class teaching.

real imp
#

Asians go everywhere, I dont think there is a specific career they go to

#

Well, you go to

#

CS, Stem, Art

gusty ermine
#

I used to take lots of art classes as well

#

but now i only doodle

#

im so asian

#

idk if this is good or bad

mossy cloud
#

I'll tell you this @gusty ermine , your class may feel like independent study, but teaching yourself calculus isn't impossible. Feel free to ask me about my experiences with independent study. I'm willing to bet that the way you've been studying math before (algebra, geometry, etc.) was flawed from the beginning. In calculus, it's more about conceptualizing, visualizing, and understanding; it's not the computational chore the comes with algebra.

#

I've also learned more from 1 year of independent study (my senior year) in all of my 4 years in high school

real imp
#

I wish I could learn calculus too

#

I have struggled with math every since 4th grade in elementary

mossy cloud
#

When you learn that you control your own education, you quickly realize how meaningless grades really are

#

Khan academy

#

is also a great resource

gusty ermine
#

I never really learned anything in math class. Our school doesn't have the best math courses and we would have 15 minutes of free time every day and I would finish my work within 5-10 minutes. I like math, but I don't really know how to study it. I got good score on my SAT math, so I was satisfied, but I feel like calculus is so different.

mossy cloud
#

How motivated are you to learn calculus?

#

I could give you a bunch of tips, but it would be meaningless if you weren't 100% into it from the beginning

real imp
#

My biggest flaw is not just maths, its that I still havent figured out how to study

#

And it is both my fault and the systems fault

#

Because elementary and highschool were just so easy I never had to study

gusty ermine
#

I was always good at math, it came easy and I was always the best in my class. I try to take the best classes in my school and ap calculus was the highest math course our school had, and I was qualified for it, so I took it.

#

I need to take the AP exam for calculus at the end of the year, so I am pretty desperate to understand every concept.

mossy cloud
#

AP exam is difficult, I'll tell ya

#

But you still have time

#

Don't stress over it too much

gusty ermine
#

@real imp If the courses aren't hard enough, I usually overburden myself with tons of courses and things to do so I have to do things. Not the best way, but one way to go.

mossy cloud
#

Learning how to study is a very important thing, yes. I'd say that there needs to be a class on it, but we all learn differently

gusty ermine
#

I feel so behind

#

why is life so tough

mossy cloud
#

It's okay to feel confused. In fact, that's a great thing; it means you're learning. I prefer to be confused rather than know everything. The difference is that I try my very best to understand every fundamental detail and concept of the thing I'm confused about

#

So you're confused right? Where are you confused? Limits? Derivatives? Theorems?

real imp
#

@gusty ermine I wish I had done that. Instead I just kept playing videogames...

mossy cloud
#

Oof, I recently quit videogames

real imp
#

I did a lot of things, music, languages, sports

#

But school was just too easy anyway

#

Even if I was busy all day

#

@mossy cloud why?

gusty ermine
#

I am currently learning about derivatives: chain rule and derivatives of inverse trig functions. I keep forgetting one step or another.

mossy cloud
#

@real imp I quit because it was taking up a huge portion of my time and I wanted to pursue my career of becoming a physicist

#

It was also hard to quit; I relapsed multiple times

real imp
#

When did u start quitting?

mossy cloud
#

Like sophomore year in high school

#

uhh

#

3 years ago

real imp
#

I see

#

Well, idk, I just cant play videogames

#

I need to get a job

#

And for that i need to study

mossy cloud
#

@gusty ermine Have you ever learned how to take the derivatives of inverse trig functions? (not memorization)

real imp
#

(like, get a job rn)

mossy cloud
#

I didn't quit completely until I came to university here

#

so yeah

#

Yeah, studying, not studying

#

It depends on what you want to pursue in life

#

It's definitely not for everyone

real imp
#

Idk its just

#

Do you want to learn or not

#

I do it for the sake of learning

#

I wanna know stuff

mossy cloud
#

Well yeah, that's why we both are here right now right?

real imp
#

So I can do cool stuff

#

Nah im here to socialize lmao

mossy cloud
#

Lmfao

gusty ermine
#

@mossy cloud my teacher showed me how the derivative of arcsin x comes from the equation cos^2+ sin^2 = 1 but to be honest, I don't even really understand how that equation works and I just memorize the charts and things. I just handle things with memorization.

mossy cloud
#

That's certainly not how I learned it

#

Here

exotic kiteBOT
real imp
#

I am physically incapable of memorizing

mossy cloud
#

I'll how you how I learned it

#

Memorization is only one study tactic btw

#

One I rarely use

gusty ermine
mossy cloud
#

That's why I hate biology

gusty ermine
#

This is the note we took in class.

#

I love biology. It makes sense

mossy cloud
#

Oh wait

#

Yeah

#

I did do it this way

real imp
#

Ive been reading that people strugglr at maths because we have a lot of knowledge gaps

mossy cloud
#

The trig identity?

real imp
#

So we dont understand a lot of things

#

I kind of agree with that theory

#

I wanna just relearn everything

mossy cloud
#

Math is cumulative

real imp
#

But doing it right

mossy cloud
#

I agree

gusty ermine
#

Is this right??

real imp
#

Yeah well my 4th grade elementary teacher didnt teach me how to divide with 2 digits

gusty ermine
#

I feel like I'm doing something wrong

mossy cloud
#

Chain rule

real imp
#

Where did the cosine go

gusty ermine
#

But don't I just have to plug in (1/x) in place of x?

real imp
#

Is it that fraction?

mossy cloud
#

Yes

gusty ermine
#

I don't get why I have to use chain rule here

mossy cloud
#

You're just missing the chain rule

#

Ah

#

So, for your derivative

#

You only learned how to take the derivative of arccos(x)

#

arccos(1/x) is a composite function

#

y=arccos(u)

#

u=1/x

#

By the chain rule, dy/du*du/dx=dy/dx

abstract scaffold
mossy cloud
#

Yeah, it's always a great thing to visualize that the identity is basically pythag theorem

gusty ermine
#

@abstract scaffold Thank you so much! Now I get it where it comes from

mossy cloud
#

It's pretty neat isn't it?

@mossy cloud I think I kinda get what you're talking about but I don't think I get the concept of chain rule.

#

yes. very neat.

mossy cloud
#

Well, it does seem random doesn't it?

#

There's a neat proof of it, however, but it requires the formal definition of a derivative

gusty ermine
#

What even is a derivative lol

#

isn't it just like slope

mossy cloud
#

You tell me

#

What does it mean?

gusty ermine
#

slope of the graph?

mossy cloud
#

Okay...

#

What does slope mean?

#

How do you interpret it?

gusty ermine
#

y2-y1/x2-x1

mossy cloud
#

In words

#

Try to explain it in words

gusty ermine
#

rise over run

mossy cloud
#

Think of the big picture

gusty ermine
#

the difference between points in a graph

mossy cloud
#

you're getting warmer

#

keep going

gusty ermine
#

slope shows where the graph is going and by how much it is changing

mossy cloud
#

change

#

What about change?

gusty ermine
#

more like what direction it is going

#

uhhh

mossy cloud
#

If the y-axis is my location and the x-axis is the time at which I'm at that specific location

#

What does the derivative mean?

#

You ever take physics?

gusty ermine
#

I took conceptual physics two years ago

mossy cloud
#

Okay, that's all you need to visualize this

gusty ermine
#

derivative is the change in a graph

mossy cloud
#

be more specific

#

What kind of change?

gusty ermine
#

Change in y-axis as x increases

mossy cloud
#

Okay, you're going backwards again. I'll tell you

#

Before we touch derivatives

#

Let's think about slope

#

If I have a graph

#

With a random function

#

Slope just measures the rate of change of one variable based off another

real imp
#

Maths is so weird

mossy cloud
#

Going back to my thing about position and time

gusty ermine
#

right

real imp
#

Imagine inventing these stuff

mossy cloud
#

The slope is basically the average velocity of an object moving from point a to point b in a given time b

gusty ermine
#

distance / time?

mossy cloud
#

yes

#

Our horizontal axis is our independent variable

#

Slope measure how much the dependent variable changes per one unit of the independent variable

#

say your slope is 5/2 m/s

#

That's 2.5 m/s

#

For every one second, you move 2.5 meters

gusty ermine
#

yes

mossy cloud
#

And going back to our original graph

#

a vs. b

#

Say that's the amount of apples you eat per banana (it's random, ik, but it fits the letters)

#

Your banana is your independent variable. You are concerned about how many apples you eat per banana

#

So we understand that slope just means rate of change, yes?

gusty ermine
#

yes

mossy cloud
#

You also need to understand what a function really is

#

a function, basically, gives you an output for something you input

#

for f(x)=x^2+2

#

x is your input

#

f(x) (also could be y) is your output

#

So what slope is telling you is the rate output/input

grim lava
#

and that translates to the fact that a function can only have one output per input, in other words one x value can only give one y-value

gusty ermine
#

x's cannot be repeated but y's can be?

grim lava
#

yes

mossy cloud
#

yes

grim lava
#

well a function cannot have more than 1 y-value per x-value is what i think u meant, but the reverse can happen

#

like in a vertical parabola

gusty ermine
#

vertical parabola like y=x^2?

grim lava
#

yes

gusty ermine
#

Wait but reverse wouldn't be a function

#

it it was x=y^2, that's not a function

mossy cloud
#

Only half of it at a time would be a function

grim lava
#

in other words, the positive square root and the negative square root would be functions separately but not together (because x = y^2 is the same as y = +- sqrt(x))

mossy cloud
#

You could think of it like this: every input of a function has one and only one answer

#

If it had two, that'd be confusing

#

Which one do you use?

#

If we apply our knowledge of slopes to calculus

#

What do you think derivatives do? @gusty ermine

gusty ermine
#

derivatives show the slopes of the graph

#

at a certain point?

mossy cloud
#

@real imp btw, did you know that when Isaac Newton invented Newtonian mechanics, he invented calculus to describe it

#

Yeah, that's the gist of it, but it's not technically correct

grim lava
#

yeah, thats correct, but only visually

#

conceptually no

mossy cloud
#

When we took the slope before, we only took the average rate of change

real imp
#

@mossy cloud imagine being that bored

mossy cloud
#

@real imp I mean, it was either that, or the bubonic plague

real imp
#

Sounds like a tough choice

mossy cloud
#

LOL

gusty ermine
#

Derivative is instantaneous rate of change

#

or slope of the line tangent to a curve

grim lava
#

hehehhee

gusty ermine
#

but what if it is a line

mossy cloud
#

Do you remember limits panda?

gusty ermine
#

I know it, I know how to solve it, but that doesn't mean I get it

mossy cloud
#

Can you describe it?

gusty ermine
#

limits is something like as you approach a point in x axis what is the y value of it

grim lava
#

if its a non-horizontal line, then the derivative graphically becomes a horizontal line

mossy cloud
#

That's a very special case of the limit panda

grim lava
#

if its a horizontal line, it becomes a horizontal line at y=0

gusty ermine
#

ooooo

#

you're so right

mossy cloud
#

You can be more general. The limit is the value you get when you approach a specific number super super close

gusty ermine
#

right

mossy cloud
#

It never quite gets there, but it gets super close

#

So if you remember our slope

#

Imagine brining those two points super super close to each other

#

So much, that you get very close to the true tangent line

#

That's the instantaneous rate of change

#

and that change is dx

#

a super small "nudge" of a value x

#

dy/dx is the change in dy when you move a very small nudge dx

#

that's why I like Leibniz notation of derivatives more than the others

#

It's more intuitive

#

it's quite literally slope

gusty ermine
#

what leibniz notation

#

is*

mossy cloud
#

dy/dx vesus f'(x)

#

It's just that way of writing derivatives

#

I hate using "f prime, y prime"

gusty ermine
#

mm i see

mossy cloud
#

It's really fun once you get the hang of it (or at least, I think so)

grim lava
#

for some

mossy cloud
#

It's so ingenius

grim lava
#

for others, its a hellish nightmare they never want to touch again once they get outta hs or uni or whatever school ur in

gusty ermine
#

hahahaha

mossy cloud
#

Yeah, it's definitely not for everybody

#

I'm the black sheep of the population; calculus actually made me love math

grim lava
#

i dont like nor hate math whatthink

#

and calc rly hasnt changed my perception on it

#

even tho i have much much more to learn

gusty ermine
#

i like math, its just that it is so time consuming and takes lots of time to understand it

mossy cloud
#

My tip for you panda. When you learn a new concept, make a point of asking "Why?" Whether that'd be out loud to your teacher or to yourself, you'd be glad that you did. I spent a lot of time staring at something from my notes or just pacing around in my room thinking what the heck calculus really is, and it helps.

gusty ermine
#

sometimes its fun but not when i have tons of things to do

mossy cloud
#

Oh yeah

#

Definitely

#

Takes time and dedication

#

That's why it's not for everyone

If you don't mind one more question, I wanna ask what really is an 'oscillating discontinuity.' My teacher never really explain what it was or how it worked.

@grim lava zoom into the graph, it gets trippy

grim lava

i already did

#

ahahahha

mossy cloud
#

You enter the matrix

grim lava

ikr

mossy cloud
#

basically

gusty ermine
#

what is DNE?

mossy cloud
#

Does Not Exist

grim lava
mossy cloud
#

LOL

gusty ermine
#

my eyes

mossy cloud
#

you also don’t put an equals sign when you say that a limit DNE, my bad

gusty ermine
#

why does the limit as x approaches infinity doesn't exist?

mossy cloud
#

Imagine the sine function

#

What’s the range?

grim lava
#

what would the limit be if it were to exist, panda?

mossy cloud
#

^

vestal pine
#

1

gusty ermine
#

-1<=y<=1

#

uhhh 0?

#

not sure

vestal pine
#

I was close

gusty ermine
#

yes

mossy cloud
#

Don’t guess, try to extrapolate (make an educated guess with logic)

vestal pine
mossy cloud
#

Similarly, if it doesn’t exist, explain why

gusty ermine
#

It keeps alternating between -1 and 1 so there is no exact y value

grim lava
#

👏

mossy cloud
#

Exactly

#

That’s an oscilating discontinuity

#

You’ll really only see it with trig functions

#

bonus question

#

wait

#

before we do that

#

Do you understand why your other limit doesn’t exist?

gusty ermine
#

x=0?

mossy cloud
#

yeah

gusty ermine
#

I don't get why the graph gets weirder as you zoom in

#

why doesn't it stay as it is?

#

it changes a lot, it seems

mossy cloud
#

What happens when you make your denominator closer and closer to 0?

exotic kiteBOT
gusty ermine
#

the value goes up?

mossy cloud
#

Yeah, it increases

gusty ermine
#

oh

grim lava
#

but as u go even smaller will it go up linearly?

mossy cloud
#

As you take the limit of sin(1/x) as x->0, the 1/x will increase towards infinity

#

Basically what we had on my chalkboard

grim lava
#

the real question is

mossy cloud
#

So it’s an oscillating discontinuity

grim lava
#

why do u have chalk and a chalkboard whatthink

mossy cloud
#

I’m actually a chalkboard fanatic

#

I love it

#

Well

#

It’s kind of a long story

#

I got one for christmas

#

loved it so much, I got a second one

grim lava
#

ahahahahahah

mossy cloud
#

Actually, you’d be surprised how much I learn because of chalkboards

#

I like being able to see the full picture of a long problem

#

With notebooks, it’s hard to do that

gusty ermine
#

@mossy cloud You're a genius

grim lava
#

whiteboards and pens dont cut it for u?

gusty ermine
#

like, I get it

mossy cloud
#

Nope

#

Whiteboard markers are too unpredictable

#

They fade away

#

It really irks me

#

Chalk, it works all the way to the stub

#

Pens, no erasing

#

You get it now panda?

grim lava
#

i meant whiteboard pens, o sea the markers lol

gusty ermine
#

yes i get what oscillating infinity is

mossy cloud
grim lava
#

ah thats a nice one

mossy cloud
#

The proof is very fun too

#

ope

#

I gave it away

i didn't even use chain rule to differentiate arccos(1/x), i did it some unorthodox way

i learned that in class but i don't remember why

#

@abstract scaffold ooo how?

grim lava

same whatthink i have no idea why either, and i do remember we went over a proof for it too

Ahh, you did it the literal way of solving the derivative of inverse trig function

i cant read some of that text

provided that we are in domain: blah, range:blah

grim lava

ah

oops, should be sqrt(x^2-1)

#

aka, i just proved arccos(1/x) = arcsec(x)

gusty ermine
#

I just wrote it down but still don't get it

abstract scaffold
#

I'm not sure if you learnt set notation, which is probs why your confused

Why is infinity always with ( not [

is infinity a number?

No

@gusty ermine it seems right, but you can simplify it further

grim lava

might be a bit nitpicky, but shouldnt that 2 be written a little farther out and not on top of the the end of the sqrt symbol

gusty ermine
#

Oh right

#

Thanks sir

abstract scaffold
#

the two should be written at the front of |x/2|

gusty ermine
#

Ohhh

grim lava
#

ah cierto

abstract scaffold
#

but you should see cancellations at that point

grim lava
#

u have a whiteboard in ur room 14?

gusty ermine
#

Can I cancel what is inside the absolute value?

abstract scaffold
#

|2| = 2

#

|-2| = 2

#

|a/b| = |a|/|b|

gusty ermine
#

Ohhh

#

This is what the derivative calculator says and idk why they say this

grim lava
#

everyone having chalkboards/whiteboards in their rooms reminds me of when i used to draw with a whiteboard marker on my windows when i was a small kid

#

and had a rly hard time removing the marker afterward lol

gusty ermine
#

Awww

#

I just use pencil and paper because my math teacher only uses them

#

Oh gosh I have no idea

#

Math is fun yet torturous

grim lava
#

pillow, those two are actually equivalent

abstract scaffold
#

as deliburd said

#

i'd argue the derivative calculator has an uglier form

gusty ermine

Wait absolute value of x is equivalent to square root of x^2???

abstract scaffold
#

yes

grim lava
#

yeah, honestly, having that fraction in the square root

just looks worse

#

If you see this and are curious, this is the proof for the limit of sin(x)/x as x->0

abstract scaffold
#

technically that only proves for x -> 0^+

#

need to draw the reflection in the 4th quadrant to prove for 0^- as well

mossy cloud
#

Oh, thanks for pointing that out

#

I forgot about that

abstract scaffold
#

another sneaky way is to just use algebra.

mossy cloud
#

When I first started out in calc, I did it using an unacceptable method lol

#

I approximated sin(x)=x for small angles

#

Now I realize that all the mathematicians would burn me at the stake for doing such a thing

Too bad I won’t get into proofs until my sophomore year in uni

It looks fun... believe it or not

proofs stress me out

mossy cloud

I guess it depends on the setting

#

aw i love set theory

gusty ermine
marsh linden
#

Is there a way of denoting subsets?

#

Like, If I have a set A

How would I define a subset for elements 1,2,...,s-1 and one s+1,s+2,...,N

last vault
gentle heath
marsh linden
#

But how do I define the subset

#

A⊂B st. arg(elements of A)<s

#

im missing some notation

gentle heath
#

arg = complex numbers arg?

marsh linden
#

naa

#

naa forget args for the moment

#

not relevant yet haha 😅

#

Lets say I have a set A={a,b,c,...x,y,z}

How do I denote a subset of A that only includes the letters a to r?

#

Without writing out every element of the subset

gentle heath
#

B = {x∈A:condition for subset} ⇔ B⊆A

#

hmm

marsh linden
#

if a>b>c>d>...>z

gentle heath
#

oh thats fine then

#

like this

#

B = {x∈A:a≀x≀r}

#

if they're ordered like that

marsh linden
#

Ah nice

#

perfect

#

And there's no way to write it if I just want the first s elements?

#

Assuming they're not ordered

gentle heath
#

depends on context really

#

sets aren't ordered

#

so no

#

but it can kinda work like that

#

{2,1,3}={1,2,3} in sets remember

#

so the first s elements doesnt really mean much

marsh linden
#

ye but what im doing kinda applies set theory, it's not exactly set theory >_<

gentle heath
#

like if the elements are ordered such that you can define a condition

#

sure

marsh linden
#

Basically I have an auction with n>2 players, each with a valuation vi

They're ordered such that v1>v2>v3...>vn

#

So the order matters

#

thats why i was talking about arg before

#

bc argmax is important

#

in this case

gentle heath
#

so you want the first however many highest bids

#

valuations

#

etc

marsh linden
#

ye

gentle heath
#

yeah you can define a condtion cos they're numbered in order

#

just do some thinking cos you know the full situation

#

but i mean set notations not exactly built for this

marsh linden
#

ye

#

game theory takes it and kinda plays with it a little

gentle heath
#

gotta love game theory

#

isn't that more suited for what u want?

marsh linden
#

wdym

#

game theory is what im doing atm

gentle heath
#

yeah I thought

#

so what you hunting for set notation for

#

use the game theory shit

marsh linden
#

its basically the same

#

But making sense of it can be pre rough

#

im not used to the notation tbh

gentle heath
#

fuck me

#

not even gonna ask what the delta and u_i things are

marsh linden
#

naa thats not even too bad haha

#

delta(Ai) is the set of all probability distr. across Ai and ui is a utility function for player i

gentle heath
#

bruh

marsh linden
#

but my teacher loves to add in shit that looks completely ridiculous

#

and then never ask about it

#

like

#

look at this, you'll probs like it idk

#

Where do you even start
