That’s perfect
Nobody to tell
I mean

that's how you start a fight
oh my god he was sleeping in a class of strength 5-6?
that's amazing
hahahaha
omfg
Yeaah, this is the curse of having post lunch class
Once our NT proff stopped the class in mid cause everyone was sleeping
yep, uh-huh. Been there. To make matters worse I was only auditing such a course.
technically a mass bunk
it'd have been funnier if he kept going
but nobody really had the guts to sleep
We did actually once mass bunked a rings and modules quiz
No one had studied and we didn't like the guy so no one went lmfao
The guy was pissed but it's not like you can do something about everyone lol
goddamn if it was my prof he'd have informed the dormitory head and dragged atleast one person
the rest would've failed ofcourse

if the one person wrote anything that is
Can you do that? That doesn't feel legal
I mean not literally dragging out a person but if your prof catches you at the canteen when you are supposed to sit for a quiz when you are gonna see him everyday for the next year is...
something that naturally forces you to go back ig
especially since he holds all the power to fail you
our profs are too over-powered smh
Yeah so about that, if the whole class except one guy fails. It's really actually questions the proff itself. Also no one wants to take another, extra course
This will simply not happen
Lmao, you underestimate the solidarity that we had as only 6 people
yea questions him yes, but he'd teach another course some other time right
like in our uni, professors cycle through courses every semester
we are also 6 people but we have zero solidarity
haahh
woah, your dean listens to you guys?
oh yea totally
Hi
Sometimes, he's more understandable cause like he was also from maths department itself
MIT?
there are always one of those kids who go like, "It's all so fuckin' easy don't make a big deal out of it." when they themselves bomb quizzes
woah lucky, our dean is from the chem dept.
Huh
oh yea our dean of student affairs is a neurobiologist and my god they are so annoying
the entirety of the student body collectively hates them
the chem dept guy is dean of undergrad studies
and he's nice and all but rarely takes any actions
Uff
I hate when asshats get power
but that just happens so often

anyways, nice talking to you
gtg now
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_series_theorem This makes no sense
In mathematics, the Riemann series theorem, also called the Riemann rearrangement theorem, named after 19th-century German mathematician Bernhard Riemann, says that if an infinite series of real numbers is conditionally convergent, then its terms can be arranged in a permutation so that the new series converges to an arbitrary real number, or di...
i find it kind of funny that teachers often say that infinity is a concept and its only used to more easily describe other mathematics because it invites the philosophical question of what other parts of mathematics are merely "concepts"
Ah the classic rearrangement theorem
what part of this makes no sense?
a childish move from the dark side of force
Did you @Dyssrupt the void
What if the force forced you to do it
rearrangements my beloved
Never tell me the odds.
ah fuck
I was latexing notes until I realised that I was formatting everything all wrong
this gives the feeling like I'm getting kicked in the ass
💀
I feel you
why does latex have to be so non-beginner friendly 😭
true
idt that it is
well, relative to gdocs, to me it is. Back then I could just access everything I needed right from the top. And even when using LyX (which makes it easier) it still ends up being kinda like a "ok I fucked up" moment cuz I end up realising that I was supposed to format equations using some feature, some enumeration etc 😭 welp, wtv, better work on learning the features and fixing everything 
you'll get it
it's confusing at first but it's fairly intuitive once you figure out how it works
Are you using anything very arcane relating to spacing?
You can try something more WYSIWYG or markdown-based
hopefully ™️
erm, wdym
manual adjustments of spacing. mathrel mathbin. maybe even affecting the word positioning (there's an alg that TeX uses for this)
anyway my recommendation is always going to be quarto which is based from Rmarkdown. quarto source code will be generally markdown and rendered via mathjax mostly
What is that, never heard of this
https://quarto.org/ pandoc wrapper
use case: you want to render in at least both html and pdf, and more (whatever they support)
if you're using something else they do not support, do not use it
going to be a rough time if you have to wait for pandoc/quarto/whatever to support your format if they currently do not
Associativity doesn’t work either
Not naively anyhow
its just high school teachers repeating what they heard
numbers are also concepts
doesnt make them less significant. you can consider infinity a number if you want but then you need to rethink what numbers are which has been debated before and people have wrote about this a little
1 + -1 + 1 + -1 + ... = 1 + (-1 + 1) + (-1 + 1) + ... = 1
1 + -1 + 1 + -1 + ... = (1 + -1) + (1 + -1) + ... = 0
therefore 1 = 0?
if the number of terms is even then its 0
That’s supposed to be an infinite sum
infinity is even (it's a power of two) so that checks out
Infinity is odd (power of two + 1)

But 2 * infinity is infinity. So it must be even.
well infinity is both even and odd then 
infinity is not a number
it is a state of endlessness
explain 0*2 = 0 then
infinity is a point on the circle. Circles have numbers
what
cap
circle in in C, which has numbers. Infinity is a point on the circle ( (0,1), let's say ), so infinity is a number 
0 is a quantifier of nothingness
cap
?
maybe o and infinity are numbers
circle in complexes is x^2+y^2 = 1
Infinity is as infinity does.
ye
yeah and every point in the circle then is numbers
But infinity is also a point on the circle (as the Alexandroff/one-point compactification of R) so infinity is a number. Checkmate.
a number is a quantifier that can be manipulated via the use of operators (excluding + and -) to give another number right?
quantifier = number in my head
but sure
not all quantifiers are numbers to everyone
but those people r wrong to me
those r different circles tho
R/Z different from R/point different from S^1 in C
sure
close enough 
homeomorphic = equal as far as I'm concerned
All the same once we pass to the skeleton of Top
@loud snow are you sure
idk
#serious-discussion message proof that 0 is not a number 0/0 is undefined
5/0 is undefined
so is 5+
infinity/infinity is not a number
not always yea
because 0 is not a number
it is a number
cap
@zealous garden hi!
Desu!
Thank you!
Desu!!!
deku !!
deku
Where does Magnetism come from Dr
"for all" is a number 
ye
for all isn't a number, it's the infimum function
Mr.Eric are 0 and infinity numbers
yes
if you want them to be
How is that a sully
i want them to be
god
i felt like sullying.
based
You guys know the portal question right
Moving portal contacts entity
Does the entity come out the other portal at some velocity dependent on the velocity of the portal? Or soes the entity come out of the other portal still at rest?
Which one do you think it is
def at rest
i dont think portals move
like if u think about it they instantly change positions of objects
why assume they can carry velocity
If you think about it, it should fly out
the things that go into portals have velocity
portals themselves shouldnt
so anything that looks like moving is just instantly changing position in increments that looks like moving
ig its more right to say portals shouldnt have momentum
Which means the portal is constantly being annihilated and recreated in its path of motion
Fine by me
nah i retract my statement
Here's the thing
The portal displaces the first layer of atoms of the object to the stationary target portal
In order to displace the second layer, the first layer must be displaced
The rate at which the first layer is displaced depends on the velocity of the portal
This imparts velocity upon the object exiting the portal
This should also occur even to the air traveling through the moving portal
yeah
the velocity is coming from air though
air in location of second stationary portal
portals like the ones in halflife sound inconvenient
i dont want to think about portals i just want to teleport
In order to move the portal with a velocity, you would have to impart the energy necessary to displace the things traveling through the portal
So if you had a portal on a shield, using it to block something would feel exactly normal to you
Its just the thing you blocked would fall through instead of bouncing off
Is that good enough for you @solar hawk
LMAO
😭ain’t no way
Wat u gonna call it
Portal theory
I call it, Displaced-Connected Portal Theory
Okay
Good job
Get jay in here to verify this
@sonic field
I angry, Jay rabbid dog am grading
And now I have an application of directed integration theory
Fuck
I wonder if I can rigorously
Wdym
Like ur physics thing or
Is this a new conversation
My brain is opening
I need to integrate the collision of two manifolds
And I'm not sure which guarantees I should allow (i.e. dimensionality) on the manifolds
glue them
I'm not sure what you mean
And I'm sure you're not sure what I mean
How doth a portal, port
In N dimensions, are portals all (N-1) dimensional?
That is their "surfaces"
Are their boundaries always (N-2)?
O_O
Perhaps they can have no boundary
What is homebro doing
Well yes since there is a relative velocity. It implies that the other portal isn't moving relative to the first portal though.
Hm?
Basically both portals need to be moving at the same velocity if you want the block to fly out.
Why
There's plenty of Algebra to do here
I need to figure out how to properly formulate this statement. I think I have the math. But it looks like a lot of work
What's your model of a portal here? Is it just reconstructing the block at the other side?
Desu
Ah. Since the target portal is stationary, the block must be too.
Why
I'm assuming stationary is said relative to something else other than the first portal.
Yes, the second portal and object are both stationary to some third reference frame. The first portal is moving with respect to this
1153040632605053028
Dang it.
From the first portals perspective, it receives an impact upon its surface (which means nothing really as far as the portal is concerned), and the object falls through it as expected.
From the other perspectives, the falling object is boosted by the portal
This makes sense, because the moving portal is rotated in spacetime
So it performs a rotation in spacetime, just like a Euclidean rotated portal would rotate like you'd expect
It shouldn't be boosted since the block as well as the portal are stationary with respect to the same reference.
I made a little thing, had to post it in chill.
The portals can't reference eachother
They're the opposite sides of the same face
They're one thing
Properly, the dual space exists
Ah.
The exit portal and entrance portal are inverse transformations
In that case it does make sense then.
So the idea I have is
Take a manifold that is locally some flat portal, and pass another manifold through it
I suppose I can do this by integrating the associated transformation across the manifold
Anyways I'm not worried about all that right now
I mostly want to know if I can accommodate portals that are segments of (or complete) hyperplanes and hyperspheres
I'm not mathematically mature enough to understand all of it but that sounds nice. 
Idk portals almost make sense right now
Like, the idea of a spherical portal sorta did it for me.
I don't think the game presents them properly
How this started... it's been so long
Amukh challenged me to create a field of physics at the same time that I was exposed to a shitpost while in a certain mood
In exchange he will give me a definition of determinants
One that I can use to calculate if I wish
Oh fuck
Retract what
Lmfao
Oh yeah
You were angry
But the idea of a spherical portal made me think the obvious thing
Geometric Algebra
Then it just made sense
All you need is a mirror. Just imagine that you can go straight through the mirror into another space. And that's exactly it desu, another space. Not your original, the other side
Everything has flipped chirality
Moving on, compose those transformations
And you get classic portal action, translations and rotations
no that wasnt.
Consider spacetime and tilt them through that, you get Lorentz boosts, so (constantly) moving portals that move you
it was?
it wasnt.
you clearly don't appreciate art
if it was so artful, why did they delete it so fast.
Go play sudoku in the daily news
Greetings
probably because society hates artist
If I think of a spherical mirror, something that takes this slice of spacetime, maps the beginning of it (out at infinity) to the center (the most now/the end), and vice versa, then we have the Conformal Geometric Algebra
Sabrina is probably talking about wraiths physics @sonic field
With that Lorentz boosts and translations are also natural considerations
no im talking about the ascii penis
I didn't even see it
I saw it too
you need to mature
Who did it
da vinci drew penises and no one calls him gross
They prolly looks better than that one then
alright move on
Da Vinci did it where it was appropriate to do so
no ascii in da vinci's days
that wasn't an issue of maturity. it was actually quite the opposite.
that simply was not appropriate
Moving on
they've been banned
Right so
Portals make sense I think
I want to see if I can figure it out, and see if it works and answers any questions
If not, it was a fun shit post and that's worth it all
Lol
OK I'm done that was easy, it's just
$\ftgc$

Your turn Amukh
God I fucking hate anything that’s not solid mechanics
no you don't
Thermo is lowkey kinda fun sometimes but fluids and heat transfer can suck my cock
I so do bro
Me: "Please let's just keep everything incompressible"
The problem of a portal is immediately and intimately the problem of infinity
idek what portal mean here
that's the whole
go through this one space and end up at another deal right?
Yeah
Take some 4 dimensional space. For the sake of consistency, we'll take minkowski spacetime within some localized coordinates. Let's assume that every point in this space carries measureables but exhibits no density so that they are 0 dimensional points. We wish to create a tunnel such that point a can travel through region R_a and R_b. Denote a curve C in this minkowski spacetime that is a riemannian surface. so it's smooth, and hausdorff, which is actually important. Take some points a* and b* to be the center of two clopen sets in our curve C. We'll look at this manifold from the top. We want to be able to "push" some point through these clopen subsets of C. For the sake of flashiness, let's create a boundary around these clopen sets so that there's polarized rotations sitting just outside of these clopen sets (these boundaries, are dimension M^(n-1)). We'll take another cylinder from another curve, call it C', and we'll use a gluing technique to roll it up into a cylinder. Or, we can cut some torus so that we only have half of our cylinder. The trick here is to roll up the curve C' in a way that'll 1. generate edges that are closed to "gently" attach to the bottom (or top if you will) of our curve C and 2. it must also be in some form of rotation itself. Since rotations admit additional measurables, it's appropriate that this C' be at least 2 dimensions higher than C. This is, what I would call, a pseudo-handlebody, or botched handlebody. From there, create equivalence relations to glue these two together (that actually probably wouldn't work, maybe direct sums so that this specific C' will be attached but will retain its higher dimension). Great, so now, our point mass/density whatever has a tunnel where it can travel through without having
To traverse the manifold it's sitting on. Next, you take a collection of worldsheets (for the sake of simplicity, let's just say worldlines) and union those together. What we get is a sychronized light cone (note hypersurface in whatever dimension), and that's not what we want. We want the space just outside the lightcone, since any particle (point mass/density w.e.) traveling outside a light cone is moving through spacetime faster than the speed of light. We wish to create a volume of of this spacetime (Call the lightcone LC and let the space be M^(n+2) or w/e and we get M^(n+2)\LC which gives us this space). Without going into those pen-rose diagram things, we end up with a double-triangular space that we can curl up. We curl this up using some creative equivalence relation, but the problem is that at the center of the point, we have the current present for every single pointmass in the universe. This might be OK. Anyway, if you can curl up that into a rotating torus with an infinite dimensional length and stick this into your C', you then have a point that can traverse time and move from point a to point b along those clopen sets in your curve C.
k I'm done talking nonsense. Jay tired and his coffee make him tired and stupid
I would read that but my attention span isnt long enough
it's ok it don make sense anyway
yap session
Is the unit circle just a numberline
Is the math borne out in experiments though?
yea
i have cool experiment for u
take some typeof time series data
and then preform differencing an arbitrary number of times
as an example
assume you difference the entire time
this forms a lower triangle matrix
and you can decide to diagonalize it
what does the diagonal matrix represent?
is it diagonalizable
cool thought experiment
well it is lower triangular
ig if u dont know try and prove that lower triangular => diagonalizable
Is that true?
my experiment was cooler 
false
hater
If it was, there would be no use for JCF
almost diagonalizing a matrix
choosing a basis such that operations on the matrix are as simple as possible
That sounds like what I was thinking about
lol cool
nice!
glad we on the same page 🤣 🤣
you should try and prove trignaular => diagonalizable
I'll find a counter example
pls do

@little vine try and do my data differencing thing tho
its cooler
and ppl care about it irl
you can even make up your own data sets with their own trends
So what’s an obvious counterexample
[0 0; 1 0]
when you say differencing do you mean divided differences?
nice point
the fun part is it can actually be any operation or function
but yeah i meant subtraction
oh ok
so like lemme pull up a small example on google sheets
I'm listening
alrighty
yeah I see it
the question I have is what does the diagonal matrix represent/ eigenvalues
Seeing delta in the difference quotient instead of h just hits different

Future contracts
I press then button when i want to sell
Aren’t contracts 100 shares each? It looks like you have 4 contracts @ 4.328 a share. I only ever do 401k now a days but I used to read about options trading
You are thinking about options
I see
Futures contracts can be of any size
because you aren't trading shares
you are trading real world items
How much are you up brandon
Commodities?
some yes
not enough
Uhhh since I started a 40k1 I think I have 15k or something
Low blow lmao
Wait fuck I’m sorry I misread that I’m dumb sometimes my name is Brandon too
The brandons are not making enough money
also don't say that word
Time to boost the server
Oh dang lol
Bam
Completely unintentional from my part lel
If u have a server
I can boost it

Hmmm I might have one for you to boost
yo wtf did you have to do to get purple? 👀
boost the server
I have a more important one to boost
yeah I don't think there is any benefit to boosting this server rn
purple color
Meanwhile the server I'm boosting needs me so they can have
and much more
Ok
I have a full set of yostuba& in Japanese with the covers and jackets still in great condition

I have to complete my entire college's calculus 2 course in just 14 days
while also dealing with four other classes
I finished calculus 2 within 2 weeks I believe
Lmao
All the best Brandon
Is it okay if i hate all teachers in such a way that i don't like the way they teach things to me and found it more satisfying to study things they teach on my own?
best to ask them that yourself
This teacher i have rn pressures the hell out of me, and the other math teacher i also have makes me feel really tired and passive
Who's "them"?
I cant ask my teachers that, tbh
ion know, i sometimes feel alone about why am i not able to connect to their idea
I dont know if its my problem or theirs
But i feel alone and wrong all the time
maybe it's the education system don't suit your learning style
when you learn by yourself, you can also try to find the learning style you like online to see what kind of resources best fit your learning style
i also like to learn on my own, but teachers provide you feedback which is very important
Why doesnt this server have a "Delta" emoji? 
Let's talk here @ember barn
anyways damn
You should learn functions
if you're planning on tackling THE imo
It's quite literally one of the hardest out ther
Functions?
they don't discriminate, whether you're 7th or 11th they will slap you with the hardest question
as far as I know
I've never gotten into it though
I suggest mindyourdecisions
on youtube
or blackpenredpen
when yk
ohh okay2
they're not tackling calculus
just memorize pemdas and learn how negative signs work
and then incorporate variables to your things
Practice makes perfect
be like me, I spent like 3 days on this one app, got 8th in the world, got bored and leaves app
except you don't be like me and get bored, keep going
the organic chemistry tutor is it good for like pre algebra then algb 1, 2, 3 lol
I suggest you find papers on this '<'
Yeah but it's rather slow for my liking
Google scholar?
Though if that's what you want
no not actual research papers I mean practice papers
then what's fast?
playing it at 2x speed '<'
Like textbooks?
There's no more fast than practicing lol
yesn't, learn the thing and then practice it
Our math teacher is kinda boring like there's no challenge to it like my previous math teach in gr 6
I don't like textbooks i like real lol
By the way what's the app
Oh then just study it yourself once, and then practice it with questionw
s
that you get online
Like can you recommend some website where i can practice so i don't get an amnesia soon after learning and practicing it
well
Not necessarily good for algebra and prealgebra
it's just practice of calculating mentally
mathtrainer
oh okay2
By the way where can i find some good questions cause google is like the questions are too ez
Do what I do
scroll here randomly for a question
if you don't know how to do it, study how to do it, then help the person
👍
fuck your mind is too great to be comprehend by me lol
if you do indeed know how to do it, help them
Oh yeah I've heard of that in youtube alot
Functions are related to IMO?
as far as I know, yep
yeah function falls under algebra
Oh fck

I HATE COLLEGE
BRO IS JUST READING THE BOOK FOR 90 MINUTES
Bro thinks we his babies giving us a bed time story
being paid $150,000 per year for this !?!?!?!

Well first you need to figure out what 9 & 2 are
no cap this is my level of maths and I'm only here to figure out how tf I can get to higher levels
then you need to define what the + symbol means
9 & 2 IS ZERO
9= 0b1001
2= 0b0010
9&2 = 0b0000 = 0
@storm sage Hope this helps 👍

Why do people type like this
I'm confused, what is this email exchange about
some context missin
they are rizzing you up
also someone is desperate for points god damn
also if the student had common sense clearly the teacher is right
i dont see how the question changes lol
i wasn't going to say anything..... but it seems like i did not need to
I was asking about why people write like that
Context not needed and too lazy to add it
nevermind then
write like wat
"In closing, ...."
They also said the word "opinions"
that their jam too

Hi kmm
Hello fellow homo sapiens
i am batman
i am a smurf cat
Good
Um okay buddy
Etymology: Latin homo (human being, man) and sapiens (wise, sensible, judicious).
So you are not even human
which is fucked up, because homo- in homosexual comes from Greek, meaning "the same"
im a train
Damn
choo choo
25 cents he isn’t 13.
What is going on here
math
Doesn’t look like it
Modus ponen is when conclusio is true and tollen is when conc is false right

- Modus ponens: If "P implies Q" and "P is true", then "Q is true".
- Modus tollens: If "P implies Q" and "Q is false", then "P is false".
note that
- If "P implies Q" and "P is false", then "Q is false"
is not a valid argument
yeahhh about that
example:
a shape being a square implies that the shape is a rectangle but if the shape isn't a square then it doesn't necessarily imply that it isn't a rectangle
can i not post pic here?
Lol
check that out
https://www.mathsisfun.com/prime-factorization.html wow this is so difficult
efficient prime factorization is one of the hardest problems in computational number theory
alot of aspects of encryption rely on that fact
Is that you?
In what number system does 0 and -0 exist?
It definitely exists in the IEEE floating point system
isnt 0 and -0 the same thing
Ya I think
In the IEEE system 0 has two distinct representations when which is negative and one positive. Hence a +0 and -0
depends on the context.
when evaluating limits for example, its different
Mmmm I believe they didn't mean 0^+ and 0^-
But I doubt myself if such numbers like 0^- and 0^+ even exist in R, or if we should even call them numbers, as they're just notations of evaluating limit from left or right 
It's just notation
I see
I don't even know why in my place we treat them as numbers just to get the intuitive feeling
0 is a symbol usually reserved to denote an additive neutral element, so even though -0 exists, it's in most contexts equal to 0 and it's just easier to write it as 0
It does add intuition, yes
in the hyperreal number system you can have positive and negative infinitesimals which is essentially what 0 and -0 represent in floating point
0 in floating point doesn't actually mean zero, it means "a number whose magnitude is under this precision value"
worst thing is that ieee floating point isnt even associative or anything
but i believe the usual commutative operations(addition and multiplication) are still somehow commutative
The line with two origins
Algebra
Over which field
A question on language, what does this phrase mean? And could you give me more examples on how to use it lol. I googled it but it mostly gave me a reference to a battle im too lazy to read the full context about
to understand this phrase
just a highschooler trying to improve their vocab 
I have no idea
0.1+0.1+0.1+0.1 = 0.4
0.4 - 0.1-0.1-0.1-0.1 = 2.7755575615628914-17 ≠0
Even in a non associative algebra this is surely not admissible
I suppose it's a pretty obsolete phrase so I wouldn't linger on it for long.
I see
Has this ever happened to y’all that you’ve studied like days for an upcoming math test, you’re confident with the topics, you know the stuff yet when the paper comes, the thereafter result is jus different
It’s been happening to me since a long time and idrk what to do anymore, it’s like I’m confident with the topics and when the paper comes I’m confident there too but I somehow idk how always end up not getting even above average marks while spending 50-60% studying
If there’s anything y’all have to suggest let me know
That was inspiring, thanks

Haven't heard that one uncountably many times
That's why I stopped
The best vocab is a simple vocab
Graduate school?
Nah high school 💀
IBDP to be more specific
It’s like what’s irritating is I get the concepts, but when it comes to applying I somehow suck and it’s something that’s been irritating me
Are you doing practice tests?
Also got a bit low cause it reached to a point where my school is asking me to drop hl maths, eventhough I’m getting a 5/7 and there are peeps getting 3s and 4s
Yep
I first try doing them without the help of the markschwme
Then I look back see my mistakes
See I made lots of mistakes, compare it and resolve it again by understanding it
At this point is it jusy anxiety that’s screwing with me or idk if I’m doing something wrong with my methodology
(I’m so sorry if I appear to be ranting, just feeling low)
So, I mean to study a couple of books on mathematics (Serge Lang's Basic Mathematics right now) and get on to physics to aid my studies in music
I've got two questions, what books would I need to study after my planned Basic Mathematics and Hammack's Book of Proof to understand physics?
And is my an hour/hour and a half/sometimes two hours a day schedule going to get me anywhere?
I can hardly allocate any more time, without harming my other studies
do note that I took humanities all through high school, my exposure to maths and sciences is limited
my goal with mathematics is to have an understanding of calculus
Me too
I've been staring at $f_\perp^{'} (g - f)^2 f_\perp^'$

I already own the book taught there, but it is clear that my mathematics and physics knowledge is not sufficient
what is the book called? i am curious
it's in Turkish, Physics of Music by Ayhan Zeren
and Tuning Systems in Music by Ayhan Zeren
alright well i don't know turkish so nevermind, sorry 
do you know what kind of math it involves
honestly, by looking at it, I've got no clue
that's either because of my lack of understanding of matheamtics, or the complexity of the topics
Why do so much people get a 5 on the ap calc bc exam but only a couple people in the world get a perfect score?
Grrrrrr
You only need like 50-60% to get a 5
Ok but why is it extremely rare tho
Hmm, I'm not really sure. I think they usually include a few very difficult questions / very tricky questions in the multiple choice, and one very tricky part in the open ended
I remember when I took it we all got fucked over by some lagrange error bound question on the open ended
(im convinced that this is the only thing i got wrong... grrrrr)
because of this i held a grudge against lagrange error bound for years, but now i realize it's the best theorem in calc bc
i remember a year or so later them doing some super fucked up limit with f(f(x)) which didn't look like it should exist, but somehow did

👍
hellom
is anyone here preping for the sat?
or has already done it(?
im kinda looking for studying buddies, specially for the math part :D,
Try schoolhouse
https://schoolhouse.world/?ref=u-z28apru2l4xai is great for that
use my referral link

do i drop analysis in there

Do it
i need to make an account 
Use my referal link 
and to be honest
They're are alot of smart people on that site
yeah its kind of a dick move
its way beyond the scope of what the calculus channel is intended for
tryna figure out how to ask a math question that isn't just 'tell me anything and everything about applied math' 💀

I dont like it kinda
why?
Cause I don't like the one who shared it here

I'm doing meth
Another reason I don't like you
F every time i update or reinstall nvidia drivers, cuda i get blinking cursor issues in ubuntu
How to fix....
help!!!
well i got it working but now every time i close the laptop lid and turn it on again, it blanks out which means i have to reboot every time i turn the lid down 
Is there a way to calculate this equation x^7 +x^6 +x^5 = 17.867447656029448
,w x^7 +x^6 +x^5 = 17.867447656029448

Does anyone know why C++ code is usually like this
char result {};
bool failure {};
some_random_function(1,2,&result, &failure);
if(failure) { throw "Error"; }
They create variables then pass by reference instead of doing something like
(char result, bool failure) = some_random_function(1,2);
if(failure) { throw "Error"; }
Why didn't they add it as a feature in the past
arrays are quite complicated objects
arrays arent a real datatype, they are really pointers
and then you also need to store the length of the array to avoid memory issues
you can do that with a struct
oh actually i just read what you wrote actually 
i think the "correct" C way is to have some_random_function return an int
that constitutes the failure state
and then have result passed as a pointer like you did
so what you gave as example is probably just bad code
still you pass pointers a lot, because returning "arrays" is a hassle
and there is no datatype similar to Maybe that can encode failure states
You can do exceptions but yes this is largely an alternative to Maybe
If you're slightly insane you can simply return nullptr instead of a valid pointer for a failure
this would require to return a pointer in the first place
its very common to just have every function return int (0 if it worked and something else to encode an error of some sort)
at least in my experience, though im mostly working with ancient code and also C, not C++
I think C++ is supposed to have fancy semantics that lets you return data structures without actually moving anything
i believe it is called guaranteed copy elision
I don't really write much C++ or C but that code looks more C-esque to me
(even though it uses exceptions)
This is actually such a misfortune
30 minutes ago I remember randomly getting the aha moment to a problem I’d been thinking about for a while
Didn’t write it down, and now I forgot both the problem and my solution
pass by reference
but exceptions are a no no in c++/c
i mean they don't exist in C, but exceptions in C++ are not a "no-no", it very much depends who you ask
it depends on the project
most projects dont support them cause they rely on other projects and guess what those other projects dont support exceptions as well
look at the stl
what about the stl, doesn't it use exceptions
in fact that is why many projects just don't use the stl if i am not mistaken
i am pretty sure
well, let's ask google, since i don't use C++ for work i'm not 100% sure
apparently this person is a kernel programmer and he can't have exceptions on OOM, so i guess those are stricter requirements than usual
i agree, i am just objecting to saying outright that they are a "no-no"
the rule i have is the following. Is the project using exceptions and it has no conflicting dependencies with it? then exceptions are ok.
at least thats what i gathered from the google c++ style guidelines
what do you mean by "conflicting dependencies"
Anyone here know statistics?
Its been almost 30 mins
most projects handle errors with error codes
that doesn't make sense though, you can mix and match libraries that do and don't use exceptions, the problem is when someone downstream you of wants to avoid exceptions, but you used exceptions in your project
it depends on your coding styld
style*
another thing with exceptions has to do with memory management
specifically the dump of the stack that is usual in most languages that require a runtime
like c#, java, python etc
the use of exceptions would hinder your capabilities for debugging memory errors too so there's that
then again
im not saying u should not
but when ur considering it
go through the documentation to see if it fits
what you need
yeah, there are reasons to prefer or not prefer exceptions, i don't really have a horse in this race. but i'm just pointing out i don't see a reason why you couldn't mix and match libraries in your application that do or don't use exceptions
the google style guide seems to ban them because existing code can't tolerate exceptions, but that's like, the reverse direction
code inconsistency
you would need to have good guidelines in your project to document the affected code too
most developers are pepegs
they dont think about this stuff
also mind u im not saying DONT USE THEM
im saying you have to do this if your gonna use them
and you have to be explicit
agreed, it's a classic problem with exceptions
thing is programming in c/c++ is closer to doing math proofs
than what people think "coding" is
have u seen how much stuff is done with python these days?
isn't it like the #2 used language
haskell has its place
next to javascript
my main issue with people that are die hard fans of a single thing in CS
is the following
they ignore how a computer works
they refuse to learn about hardware stuff
and they refuse to accept responsability when shit breaks cause they ignore the other 2
performance is never a problem until it is 
i have seen it
and then it's a problem
i have prototyped stuff with python
(not endorsing being lazy about performance, just saying this is how it usually goes)
but i made it explicitly clear
if we reach a certain goal in usage
we have to switch
its not sustainable to use python
most people dont do that
they go the feature creep route
as far as i can tell the point of python is to be glue code for libraries written in C/C++
but at some point it stopped being that
@jagged forge i would agree with that, i use it for that when im using the meson build system basically
i write in go and rust for work so i don't have a build system :^)
just go build or cargo build
its a constant analysis of using the right tool for the job
nice, you have a job
i cant seem to get one
HR doesnt like me i guess
the market has been tough these days
uwu cargo
i interviewed for a position and apparently everyone who interviewed me said yes, but they had just hired 4 senior FAANG employees and didn't have more bandwidth
lets see what they have to say about that
4 senior pepegs in javascript and python?
probably not, it was a database engineer position
and required knowing rust
i like the database people
their humble
depends on the dev
if u see them saying things like TS is the best thing ever i have types in my js
i would qualify that as a red flag
and that seems to be the case since 3 years ago
and im like
...... if all you know is javascript, i mean it does seem like the best thing ever
and actually typescript's type system is pretty expressive
but weird
bitch, you have a bunch of files that compile to javascript from a compiler written in js, to keep your generated js in memory (assuming your not compiling the files). And even then its bad because you have to do IO calls which is the pain point of node
also bun has good things though
they build the typescript interpreter directly into the runtime and its written in zig
mind u i dont know about zig
but that to me sounds better than whats done in node at the moment
doesn't node.js top benchmarks for highly concurrent web servers, seems like they'd have IO down pretty good
but yeah it's a bit of a clusterfuck i guess
compiling requires you to deal with files sequentially
theres the issue
ok, so you're talking about the compilation process
yes
i don't think it's accurate to say IO calls are a pain point of node
whenever you have to deal with files sequentially in js your going to get hurt
esbuild for that matter is pretty fast at compiling to javascript
their only ok if you can use a event pattern or a promise
that's more just a property of the language design tho, and not the parts related to IO
but the moment you need to deal with state coming from a file thats outside of a promise or event
you mean like everyone does with async? lol
its a pain in the ass
try doing that with thousands or 100 of files
youll get a seg fault
only way to do that in node is to have it deal with single instances and make it scale using containers and k8s
at least thats how a senior
did it
in a place i worked
i am very skeptical that opening the files itself was the problem
100 or 1000 files is not even that much
well i worked at a place with a service that handled 500million files monthly
their application crashed if you tried to input more than 4000 files
mind u some files were and average of 10mb
right, well there's no reason to keep every file in memory all the time
just keep a hold of the file handles and store offsets into the files when you need them
what happens if there is a file that is referencing information from a different file?
then swap stuff in and out of memory as needed
that is what databases do
it's just harder
do you know what databases are at the end of the day?
files
with a very strict api
that deals with them
so yes, you can write drivers that handle the dealing with the database
but there are some very special people that instead of learning the language that has the apis for dealing with the db, prefer to write abstractions written in their language
cause its a hassle to learn a new thing
xD
yeah i have heard horror stories about orms
