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"

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 devastation

manual adjustments of spacing. mathrel mathbin. maybe even affecting the word positioning (there's an alg that TeX uses for this)

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

Not naively anyhow

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

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

loud snow
#

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

zealous garden
#

If you think about it, it should fly out

loud snow
#

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

zealous garden
#

Which means the portal is constantly being annihilated and recreated in its path of motion

#

Fine by me

loud snow
#

nah i retract my statement

zealous garden
#

Here's the thing

loud snow
#

portals can have velocity

#

no momentum

zealous garden
#

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

loud snow
#

yeah

#

the velocity is coming from air though

#

air in location of second stationary portal

zealous garden
#

How

#

I'd assume it's coming from whatever is maintaining the portal

loud snow
#

portals like the ones in halflife sound inconvenient

#

i dont want to think about portals i just want to teleport

zealous garden
#

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

solar hawk
#

Wait

#

Wdym

Why u ping me 😭 I’m so confused

#

I wanna participate

zealous garden
solar hawk

😭ain’t no way

Wat u gonna call it

Portal theory

I call it, Displaced-Connected Portal Theory

solar hawk

Good job

Get jay in here to verify this

#

@sonic field

sonic field
#

I angry, Jay rabbid dog am grading

zealous garden
#

And now I have an application of directed integration theory

#

Fuck

#

I wonder if I can rigorously

solar hawk
#

Like ur physics thing or

#

Is this a new conversation

zealous garden
#

My brain is opening

solar hawk
#

That’s crazy

#

So what’s a field acting on a non abelian group make

zealous garden
#

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

sonic field
#

glue them

zealous garden
#

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)?

solar hawk
#

O_O

zealous garden
#

Perhaps they can have no boundary

solar hawk
#

What is homebro doing

zealous garden
#

What are the valid transformations for a portal

#

What are the valid shapes

sly flint
zealous garden
sly flint
# zealous garden Hm?

Basically both portals need to be moving at the same velocity if you want the block to fly out.

solar hawk
#

Take a break wraith

#

Do some AA

zealous garden
#

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

sly flint
# zealous garden Why

What's your model of a portal here? Is it just reconstructing the block at the other side?

sly flint
#

Ah. Since the target portal is stationary, the block must be too.

zealous garden
#

Why

sly flint
#

I'm assuming stationary is said relative to something else other than the first portal.

zealous garden
#

Yes, the second portal and object are both stationary to some third reference frame. The first portal is moving with respect to this

zealous garden
#

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

sly flint
zealous garden
#

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

sly flint
#

I made a little thing, had to post it in chill.

zealous garden
#

The portals can't reference eachother

#

They're the opposite sides of the same face

#

They're one thing

#

Properly, the dual space exists

zealous garden
#

The exit portal and entrance portal are inverse transformations

sly flint
#

In that case it does make sense then.

zealous garden
#

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

sly flint
zealous garden
#

Idk portals almost make sense right now

#

Like, the idea of a spherical portal sorta did it for me.

sonic field
#

are yall talkin bout

#

actual portals?

#

like

#

the game?

zealous garden
#

I don't think the game presents them properly

sonic field
#

but is this how this started?

#

cuz

#

@solar hawk

zealous garden
#

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

sonic field
#

oh

#

I'll retract that then

zealous garden
#

One that I can use to calculate if I wish

zealous garden
sonic field
#

that powerbomb he had comin

zealous garden
#

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

loud snow
#

that was cool

#

ngl

sonic field
#

no that wasnt.

zealous garden
#

Consider spacetime and tilt them through that, you get Lorentz boosts, so (constantly) moving portals that move you

loud snow
sonic field
#

it wasnt.

loud snow
#

you clearly don't appreciate art

solar hawk
#

Jay who are you to decide what’s cool and what’s not

#

Ur 35

sonic field
#

if it was so artful, why did they delete it so fast.

solar hawk
#

Go play sudoku in the daily news

low star
#

Greetings

loud snow
#

probably because society hates artist

zealous garden
#

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

solar hawk
#

Sabrina is probably talking about wraiths physics @sonic field

zealous garden
#

With that Lorentz boosts and translations are also natural considerations

loud snow

sonic field

aight

#

get ready for me to cook up this nonsense

zealous garden
#

I'm ready

#

I'm going to need Pseudoriemannian Differential Geometry for this.

sonic field
#

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.

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 pandaThink

elfin ridge
#

It's just notation

neat lintel
#

I see

#

I don't even know why in my place we treat them as numbers just to get the intuitive feeling

elfin ridge
#

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

storm sage
#

0 in floating point doesn't actually mean zero, it means "a number whose magnitude is under this precision value"

burnt ledge
#

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

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

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

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"; } 
surreal sapphire
#

have you tried

#

functions cant return arrays

neat lintel
#

hmmCat Why didn't they add it as a feature in the past

surreal sapphire
#

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 opencry

#

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

trail sand
#

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

surreal sapphire
#

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++

jagged forge
#

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)

haughty apex

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

pulsar pagoda
#

but exceptions are a no no in c++/c

surreal sapphire
jagged forge
pulsar pagoda
#

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

jagged forge
#

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

pulsar pagoda
#

the standard template library?

#

are u for real?

jagged forge
#

i am pretty sure

#

well, let's ask google, since i don't use C++ for work i'm not 100% sure

pulsar pagoda
#

theres no even consensus

#

on that stack overflow post

jagged forge
#

apparently this person is a kernel programmer and he can't have exceptions on OOM, so i guess those are stricter requirements than usual

pulsar pagoda
#

so its as i said

#

its used in some projects

#

and not in others

jagged forge
#

i agree, i am just objecting to saying outright that they are a "no-no"

pulsar pagoda
#

at least thats what i gathered from the google c++ style guidelines

jagged forge
#

what do you mean by "conflicting dependencies"

violet briar
#

Anyone here know statistics?

pulsar pagoda
#

are you using librariries than dont use exceptions for error handling?

violet briar
#

Its been almost 30 mins

pulsar pagoda
jagged forge
#

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

pulsar pagoda
#

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

jagged forge
#

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

pulsar pagoda
#

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

jagged forge
#

agreed, it's a classic problem with exceptions

pulsar pagoda
#

thing is programming in c/c++ is closer to doing math proofs

#

than what people think "coding" is

jagged forge
#

if you compare it to python i guess

#

there's also haskell :^)

pulsar pagoda
#

have u seen how much stuff is done with python these days?

jagged forge
#

isn't it like the #2 used language

pulsar pagoda
#

haskell has its place

jagged forge
#

next to javascript

pulsar pagoda
#

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

jagged forge
#

performance is never a problem until it is KEK

pulsar pagoda
#

i have seen it

jagged forge
#

and then it's a problem

pulsar pagoda
jagged forge
#

(not endorsing being lazy about performance, just saying this is how it usually goes)

pulsar pagoda
#

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

jagged forge
#

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

pulsar pagoda
#

@jagged forge i would agree with that, i use it for that when im using the meson build system basically

jagged forge
#

i write in go and rust for work so i don't have a build system :^)

and required knowing rust

pulsar pagoda
#

jagged forge
#

are js and python devs not humble?

#

genuinely asking, i don't know many of them

pulsar pagoda
jagged forge
#

yeah obviously we're generalizing but i am curious why you have a bone to pick

#

lol

pulsar pagoda
#

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

jagged forge
#

...... 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

pulsar pagoda
#

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

jagged forge
#

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

pulsar pagoda
#

theres the issue

jagged forge
#

ok, so you're talking about the compilation process

pulsar pagoda
#

yes

jagged forge
#

i don't think it's accurate to say IO calls are a pain point of node

pulsar pagoda
#

whenever you have to deal with files sequentially in js your going to get hurt

jagged forge
#

esbuild for that matter is pretty fast at compiling to javascript

pulsar pagoda
jagged forge
pulsar pagoda
#

but the moment you need to deal with state coming from a file thats outside of a promise or event

jagged forge
pulsar pagoda
#

its a pain in the ass

pulsar pagoda
#

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

jagged forge
#

i am very skeptical that opening the files itself was the problem

#

100 or 1000 files is not even that much

pulsar pagoda
#

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

jagged forge
#

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

pulsar pagoda
#

what happens if there is a file that is referencing information from a different file?

jagged forge
#

then swap stuff in and out of memory as needed

#

that is what databases do

#

it's just harder

pulsar pagoda
#

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

trail sand
#

Databases are lenses

pulsar pagoda
#

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
