[fervent flame]

i mean thats a given lol

aside from good grades, research, internships, get close with few profs

[dense hornet]

I screwed up the part with getting close to profs

I might just try to talk to as many as I can about how well they know me

[fervent flame]

what year are you?

i didn't really get close to any until my jr year

it helps if you've had a prof for a few classes

[dense hornet]

Most of my Profs are Aerospace profs.

[fervent flame]

i fail to see the relevance

[limber shore]

I will def try to get close with some professors, thanks for the advice!

[twilit parrot]

For me it’s because paper back is cheaper. Didn’t read any previous texts but I just saw this question lol

[low ginkgo]

you ever just like
forget a rule on a math test. yeah that was me on my calc final so i tried proving it
the teacher gave me credit anyway because i used like a page and a half of paper in the attempt
i was unsuccessful

[twilit parrot]

You got the credit, that’s what matters. Good job.

[sharp cave]

paperbacks because I can turn over the cover page (and hold the book in one hand) as opposed to hard-covers

[sharp cave]

Wdym by autobracketing?

Okay so I have macros that cycle between [] -> \{\} -> () -> [] and macros that cycle between [] <-> \left[ \right] and \{ \} <-> \left\{ \right\} and () <-> \left( \right)

Which one are you asking for?

You have the global options setup right?

Put this inside global

function swap(str, bracket, testBracket){
    if (bracket.length == 2){ 
        var rep=["Ⱆ","Ⱉ"];
        var i=0;

Yw! Do take care of indentations inside global.
Also, important point, to trigger the snippet, type : after ) or ]. So for example, typing (abc): will output \left(abc \right)

[cinder zephyr]

Ok so what is combinatorics

Broadly speaking

It's counting things

@tame egret

[tame egret]

[cinder zephyr]

So generally you have some (typically finite) structure with some rules

And you want to see how many of these structures exist given these rules

For example, how many ways are there to order n district objects

[tame egret]

n!

[cinder zephyr]

Versus n not necessarily distinct objects (say you have m objects of type A and n - m objects of type B)

Yea

And the beauty of the subject is that you can count the same object in multiple different ways

[tame egret]

oh just permutation and combination right

[cinder zephyr]

And get nice proofs of formulas

[tame egret]

[tame egret]

thx

[cinder zephyr]

So you could prove this formula by induction

But there's a nice combinatorial proof

Say we have a set of size n, what's one way to create subsets?

For each object, we make one of two choices

Include it or don't

So that's 2^n choices

But also we could just count the number of subsets of size 0

n choose 0

And then the number of subsets of size 1

n choose 1

etc etc

And sum that up

And we get the left hand side

So we've enumerated through the same set of objects (the subsets of a set of size n)

In two different ways

And we've gotten a combinatorial proof of that equation

@tame egret

Those kinds of arguments are IMO the spirit of combinatorics

[tame egret]

hmm

[cinder zephyr]

Makes sense?

[tame egret]

😕

[cinder zephyr]

What's confusing you lol, no shame in being confused

I make no claim of being a good teacher

[tame egret]

nCk = n!/((n-k)!k!)

then

[cinder zephyr]

I'm not really using that definition

But yes that is the formula

I'm just using n choose k = the number of ways to pick k items from a set of n items without caring about order

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a statistics problem involving a table with the following data (Dummy Data):

X

1

5

I need to calculate various statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and variance for this dataset. I usually use online calculators like Calculator Soup (www . calculatorsoup.com/calculators/statistics/mean-median-mode . php) for single-row data. However, I'm facing difficulties when dealing with multiple rows.

If anyone could provide guidance on how to adapt these calculators for multiple rows or suggest an alternative website or method to handle such scenarios, I would greatly appreciate your assistance.

Thank you in advance for your help.

[surreal sapphire]

thats pretty normal

[vast surge]

I write zeta and xi as crazy squiggles.

[surreal sapphire]

this is how zeta is supposed to be written

some people curve the top line downwards like a bowl

xi is more or less the same except you add a squiggle

note that in this case handwriting and print differs

its kinda like handwritten a vs printed a

[mental stratus]

im already writing far better zeta consistently after you sent this. thanks loch

[burnt ledge]

i usually don't bother with the end backwards curve in both the zeta and xi

so they end up looking like this

[solar hawk]

I like your handwriting

thats a G

[covert geyser]

yo guys did i understand the collatz conjecture correctly?

1. Start with any positive integer n.
2. If n is even, divide it by 2.
3. If n is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1.
4. Continue until n is equal to 1

[surreal sapphire]

this isnt a conjecture

the conjecture is that this will always happen

[dense hornet]

Yeah that's Collatz. I made a pretty tree out of it on python

[covert geyser]

isn't that just a technicality tho

i wanted to know if i was correct in how it works

[surreal sapphire]

i mean you didnt post a statement

[long matrix]

[surreal sapphire]

just an algorithm

the collatz conjecture (with this algorithm) is "the algorithm always terminates"

in chapter one, was there an indication that the setting was in the great depression era?

i suppose so, it was around the 1930s. most people in the book do seem to live in some form of poverty (some more than others)

i dont have the book rn ive kinda forgotten the exact names but i think the ewells, mr cunningham, even the finches weren't really all that rich

[vapid ridge]

finches were the least of the poor

cause atticus had some income

[neat lintel]

yeah theyre better off

ah i just looked it up. it says scott refers to the town as "old, tired, poor" place somewhere, thats an indication too

i read it last year lol

I’d like to know this as well

[umbral summit]

hell no. as a famous pure mathematicians saying: you don't want to end up poor and wifeless. unless you really passionate about pure math and nothing (i meant not even money). Try applied math instead. You will be rich in no time

[spice nebula]

well i just looked it up and the ones that i bought seem to be somewhat safe

[dim nest]

do you guys think that people are either math brained or not? My high school math teacher really destroyed my confidence in the subject

[magic plover]

g-factor definitely plays a role

but, there is more to it

competence, conscientiousness and, willingness matter as well

[clear jackal]

i dont think its really know it or you dont, but maybe you had the wrong teacher or learning style (visual and etc.)

[solid snow]

These are myths

[dim nest]

that makes sense I feel like there are so many gaps in my base no matter how hard I try to do well i end up stuck

[magic plover]

most people can definitely learn high school math though

unless they're below 70 or something

[dim nest]

we started using calculators in the 3rd grade💀 my math education was so awful

[solid snow]

it's really a matter of whether you like the subject, have the resources to study it, and are in an environment that facilitates this

there's not a concrete metric to say whether someone will be able to contribute to mathematics like euler or gauss did

[magic plover]

true

most people can probably learn not just basic arithmetic

[solid snow]

you can patch up the 'fundamentals' of math in less than a year

[clear jackal]

mb (nonetheless, the typical 'reading word for word' from the book isnt very helpful, thats what i was trying to say if that makes sense??)

[magic plover]

but, probably basic logarithms, trigonometry, sets and functions, vectors, sequences and calculus

[dim nest]

I agree with hard work but do you think a math degree is possible for anyone

[magic plover]

not everyone

[solid snow]

if they like it then sure

the problem is that not everyone likes math

or is willing to devote the amount of time required to study it

[clear jackal]

its possible but like not everyone likes math

[magic plover]

but, if your g-factor is above 70 approximately, sure

[magic plover]

if you graduated high school, probably

[raven plaza]

Also depends on uni

[magic plover]

if you can go about your day on your own, probably

[raven plaza]

You could easily get PhDs at some sus uni

[dim nest]

that makes sense, I feel a lot better about that now thanks guys

[clear jackal]

yeah diff. unis have diff. curriculums

[magic plover]

Not everyone might be able to contribute to the degree of Newton

or Gauss, Euler, Langrange, Descartes, Fermat or Riemann

not that that can be objectively measured anyway

[dim nest]

My teachers were so evil and crushed my spirit, I’ve been avoiding all fields that require a mathematical base even though I was interested in them

I failed so many times but will keep going 🫡

[dim nest]

I agree that takes special kind of dedication

[magic plover]

most people can probably get a degree though

[clear jackal]

it always astonishes me how they manage to just discover things

[magic plover]

yeah

especially euler, gauss and newton

[dim nest]

thats nice to hear 😭

[dim nest]

what makes them so different than the average person

Is it that they studied multiple disciplines

[magic plover]

conscientiousness, definitely

[clear jackal]

their large contribution to mathematics as a whole

[clear jackal]

that too

[dim nest]

At a particular company, security codes must be ten digit numbers.
Three of the digits must come from {1, 4, 5, 7}, three of the digits must come from {2, 3,
6}, and four of the digits must come from {0, 8, 9}. Repetition of digits is allowed. (a) How many security codes are there?
(b) How many of these security codes neither start with 1 nor end with 9?
HINT: To choose positions for the numbers of the different sets (i.e. {1, 4, 5, 7}, {2, 3, 6} &
{0, 8, 9}) use the multinomial coefficient.

[cloud latch]

was browsing through mse and found this linked paper

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.09553.pdf

is this bogus

or does it actually work (ig in the context of nonstandard analysis or smth idk)

[leaden torrent]

math.GM
not reading the paper but 99.9% chance its crankery

i have also not heard of either of the organizations the authors are supposedly associated with

but "the blyth institute" looks a lot like a predatory journal

charging $100 and $250 "membership fees"

just based on these facts alone, i am fine dismissing it without even reading the abstract

if you want to read the contents and verify their mathematical accuracy yourself, go for it.

[leaden torrent]

to be clear, no legitimate novel mathematics happens on math.GM

if a paper claims to have a new result and ends up there, thats the arxiv editors saying "even though we formally dont check preprints for their quality, we can tell this is bullshit"

the only legitimate stuff on math.GM is stuff that does not claim to be novel mathematics research

so like, expository papers aimed at a general audience, or short articles outlining the life of a mathematician

stuff like that

(and even then, a lot of it is crankery about how ramanujan divined numerological patterns from the stars or something)

(but there is legitimate stuff in there as well, its just not where mathematics research gets put)

[bronze wedge]

expository etc?

[leaden torrent]

.

field-specific expository stuff usually still ends up in its appropriate subject tag

but if youre expositing on like

intro real analysis

they arent gonna put that in the analysis section

so itll end up in math.GM

which isnt a dig against it, just indicates that its not of interest to the type of people likely to be following the mathematical analysis tag

like if bernstein submitted https://cr.yp.to/papers/calculus-19970403-retypeset20220326.pdf to arxiv it'd probably end up in math.GM

which doesnt mean its illegitimate, just not relevant to any of the subject tags

[leaden torrent]

(to clarify, remember that there are many mathematicians that receive mailing lists of every preprint uploaded to a certain arxiv tag every day/week)

(naturally theyre only really interested in stuff that actually concerns their field)

[vivid halo]

yeah see this is why

[sonic sentinel]

i don't know, introductory
we're learning about like electron configurations and atomic radii and naming conventions and all that

[opal mesa]

you cant put images now?

[opal mesa]

I cant copy and paste for some reason

[opal mesa]

physics to its finest

[sonic sentinel]

my issue with this strategy is that very natural questions aren't answered in the book and my textbook is really unwilling to say "we aren't going to deal with so-and-so for now" or "there are different conventions but we will use this one".
like for example they talked about ionic radii and a google search i made showed up that there are different methods for calculating ionic radius by assigning proportions of the inter-nuclear distance(idk what's the term) to each cation and antion in a bond, but the different methods all give rise to some of the same periodic trends. it was interesting and not hard for me to understand, but the textbook is just like "ions have radius and these are the trends." surely they can try harder??

[sonic sentinel]

I don't know the different methods. They weren't included, and I didn't read about them. I just know that there are different methods. Considering you'd assume (by default) that there's only one, that sounds important to me.

Also I'm 11th grade, not first year

Is there a way to mathematically frame the game of chess on a standard chessboard so that you can transform the board into any other homeomorphic shape and get the corresponding movements of the pieces on the new board?

Question inspired by this YT short

https://youtube.com/shorts/rYmfT4YcGsE?si=yFMQ5_KM8PODhPMw

From what I can tell I think he just made up the rules for how the pieces move on this new board

But like what I mean is you mathematically formulate how the pieces can move on the given topology (if that makes sense)

Then under some homeomorphism of the board, idk say a circle, you can get corresponding transformations for how the chess pieces “should” move on the new board

[vivid halo]

they move like normal chess pieces

[mint patio]

What

Yeah but what does “normal” mean here? On a square shaped board the knight can move in an L shape. It doesn’t do that on the circular board; moving at an L would land you on top of two different squares at once

[vivid halo]

you move according to the grid here

as you would in normal chess

[mint patio]

Yes, so can you model that mathematically? Like you define a function specifying the spots it can move to (and how it gets there), then when you transform the board you can apply the same transformation to get the equivalent movement on the new board

[vivid halo]

I mean sure I guess

[mint patio]

What about fucked up board shapes? Wouldn’t there be shapes such that there’s no “logical” (you used the word “normal”) way for some pieces to move according to the new grid? I have no examples for this, intuition just tells me it’s a possibility

Well I guess not actually lol

@frank orchid its not selfish what they do, its unfortunate that they choose to do what they do. Its a moral obligation to try and reduce that unfortunateness

Its unfortunate that some decide that life has no value

In a history discord I found that apperently people are hypocritical...not suprising I was a false christian once....

[restive nexus]

but i also believe that people should be allowed to do what they want with their body

but it depends on the context

Its a moral duty to protect people from unfortunateness

[frank orchid]

Of couse obbviously never said it wasn't.

[restive nexus]

yeah

but its dangerous to say that you believe that its hypocritical

because that can remove agency from people

[plain owl]

what is that supposed to mean

[plain owl]

You don't need any kind of structure, all you need is an injection from the chess board into your new board and the starting position is where each piece maps to from its starting position on the normal board

And then you just define moves as pulling back, doing a chess move and then mapping it onto your weird board again

Shapes are irrelevant too

[ocean harbor]

It's joever

[loud snow]

Such a crazy ask

You dont even direct anyone anywhere

You have to be trolling

[sonic sentinel]

i think as long as you're playing on a side and not a surface

you could assign consistent "one upward square" and "one rightward square" movements and you could define piece movement (pawns especially) based on that

[raven plaza]

Lift the square to the universal cover and project the move back to the board

[sonic sentinel]

your biggest problem would probably be initial configuration, like how to generally define a start position so that the first position isn't illegal (and is fair enough to make a good game!)

i don't remember the history of the allowance though

looking up, it seems like normal allowance rates, unfortunately it gives me no info on what those allowances include (parents might have their kids pay for clothes, etc)

Skiing or snowboarding

Snowboarding

[versed nimbus]

Nah skiing is better because you have more balance and control

[dense hornet]

Snowboarding has fewer things to worry about. Just one board and you're good to go!

[versed nimbus]

Two boards is better than one because you can go faster and have more confidence going on the steep and non groomed slopes

[dense hornet]

Snowboard looks cooler when carving or going on rails

[versed nimbus]

With skiing, doing flips looks better

Or doing doing a side turn in the air

Snowboarding looks and is better

You can go faster with skiing

what is the questiotn

[neat lintel]

ok so basically

im making an app in app designer

[vast cipher]

oh geez

i have no idea about app designer

use R

[neat lintel]

the thing relies on a table from excel, but i realised that having it be an absolute reference is dumb because im gonna be submitting it

so i like

made this

[fileName, filePath] = uigetfile('*.xlsx');
key = fullfile(filePath, fileName);

but idk how to like idk make it a global variable if that makes sense? because i have two functions that need to use the key variable but putting it in both just makes the the thing request user to put the excel file twice lol

[neat lintel]

its actually so bad tbh

[vast cipher]

why not just make an object with all these important things as attributes

then pass that object to your other functions

idk youre pretty far beyond how id normally use matlab tbh

i would recommend using R

unironically

but i have no idea how complex the thing youre trying to do is

I wish i could merge matlab and rstudios app maker

[neat lintel]

yeah thats alright

[vast cipher]

oh wait

[neat lintel]

im trying to figure out how to do that

[vast cipher]

wait

i dont get it are you saying when you call a function that relies on key it triggers the uigetfile call again?

[neat lintel]

yeah

[vast cipher]

👀

[neat lintel]

like i will show you the code i have

methods (Access=private)
    function encryptedMessage = transmitter(app)
        % Input the Excel file
        [fileName, filePath] = uigetfile('*.xlsx');
        key = fullfile(filePath, fileName);
        % Read the tables
        englishTable = readtable(key, 'Range', 'A2:Aend');
        encryptedTable = readtable(key, 'Range', 'B2:Bend');

        % Convert tables to cell arrays
        english = table2cell(englishTable);
        encrypted = table2cell(encryptedTable);

        % Get user input
        userInput = app.Type.Value;

        % Encrypt the message
        encryptedMessage = '';
        for i = 1:length(userInput)
            index = find(strcmp(english, userInput(i)));
            if ~isempty(index)
                encryptedMessage = [encryptedMessage, encrypted{index}];
            else
                encryptedMessage = [encryptedMessage, userInput(i)];
            end
        end
    end

    function decryptedMessage = receiver(app, encryptedMessage)
        % Input the Excel file
        [fileName, filePath] = uigetfile('*.xlsx', 'Select the Excel file');
        key = fullfile(filePath, fileName);
        % Read the tables
        englishTable = readtable(key, 'Range', 'A2:Aend');
        encryptedTable = readtable(key, 'Range', 'B2:Bend');

        % Convert tables to cell arrays
        english = table2cell(englishTable);
        encrypted = table2cell(encryptedTable);

        % Decrypt the message
        decryptedMessage = '';
        for i = 1:length(encryptedMessage)
            index = find(strcmp(encrypted, encryptedMessage(i)));
            if ~isempty(index)
                decryptedMessage = [decryptedMessage, english{index}];
            else
                decryptedMessage = [decryptedMessage, encryptedMessage(i)];
            end
        end
    end
end

ok woops

dont judge my coding

[vast cipher]

oh no i think you honestly are coding more advanced than i normally would

[neat lintel]

but like as u can see i have two functions the receiver and transmitter

[vast cipher]

i dont think ive ever used methods

but i am not a real programmer

i wanna try running it locally here

[neat lintel]

really have no clue how to make global attributes because defining everything locally is so

[vast cipher]

yea im not even sure how to run this

i remember trying the app designer once and being like

yea okay ill learn a lil css

its like so restrictive imo

but ig thats to be expected

why not switch

[neat lintel]

because

this is

😭

im like

done

like the thing is finished and working

i am just trying to figure out the referencing because sending it to my professor is going to be problematic otherwise lol

ohh wiat

i just thought of something

i can make an if statement

wait lemme see if that will work

something like

properties (Access = private)
    excel
end

methods (Access=private)
    function encryptedMessage = transmitter(app)
        if isempty(app.excel)
            [fileName, filePath] = uigetfile('*.xlsx');
            if fileName == 0
                return;
            end
            app.excel= fullfile(filePath, fileName);
        end
...

i would give you a hug rn @vast cipher

[surreal wave]

hi guys I'm taking an analysis I/II with elements of linear and abstract algebra too. the course is incredibly hard (last year only 3 students out of 200 passed). there are little to no calculation exercises (solving limits, studies of functions, etc) as the exam is only made of exercises on proofs we have to come up with and text problems that require some degree of reasoning. what are your tips on how I should approach this exam? do you have some recommendations for textbooks with exercises of this type? thanks

[plain owl]

You should have homework problems

Make sure you can do those

If you have lecture notes, read through them

If you can do all the homework you should be fine

The low passing rate might be due to the wrong people taking the class

[surreal wave]

i can do like 30% of the exercises and those I can do take me a whole day

[surreal wave]

sadly no

[plain owl]

But if you do them a second time, it should be faster

Do you not get any kind of solutions to exercises?

[surreal wave]

no, it's real. the exam is incredibly hard. faculty of CS

[plain owl]

Faculty of CS?

[surreal wave]

no solutions, not even on the internet sometimes

[surreal wave]

yes

ok

[plain owl]

What does that mean

[surreal wave]

computer science

[plain owl]

I also have a hard time believing it

Faculty of CS isn't an answer tho

[surreal wave]

that's how it is in italy

impossible exams

until people drop out

not my exam lol

wanna see the exercises?

[plain owl]

Tbf, Italy is the country where this is most believable for a professor to pull off, but this would still not happen a 2nd time

The professor would get in huge trouble

[plain owl]

Yes

[surreal wave]

in fact the professor is a sub teacher

ok aight wait

[plain owl]

Idk why computer science students would tqke a class with analysis 2 material in it tho

I'm not from the US

[surreal wave]

how tf do you send pics here

[plain owl]

Click on the plus

Or click share on the pic and select discord

[surreal wave]

bruh it doesnt let me to

ok done

[plain owl]

Those look like completely normal analysis 1 exam questions

What is weird about it?

[surreal wave]

you usually do an exam like this after taking calculus

this is my first exam

professor never explained this stuff

and is going crazy fast

no

[plain owl]

An exam like this was my very first exam after 1st semester

Idk how this is crazy fast

This is not 3/200 difficulty

By a long shot

[surreal wave]

bro you're already graduated

[plain owl]

Something has to have gone wrong in the lectures

[surreal wave]

put yourself in my shoes

[plain owl]

Like I said, this looks almost exactoy like my 1st semester

[surreal wave]

maybe the fact that he's very theoretical and never gave us calculus exercises

ok anyway

how do i prepare?

[plain owl]

Being able to do the past exams is also good preparation

Probably the most efficient

[surreal wave]

because out of all the textbooks i found i can only find calculus exercises (solving limits, studies of functions, etc) and no real analysis exercises

[plain owl]

Do it a couple times and time yourself

Get a study group if you can

[surreal wave]

those two i sent are the only ones

yes but i dont understand shit lol

[plain owl]

Look up convergence criteria for the series

For the limits you should have a theorem/lemma in lectures about ratios of polynomials

That only the highest degrees matter

For convergence criteria you will mostly need 3, one with roots, one with ratios and one about alternating series

Functional analysis, specifically C_0-semigroups

[plain owl]

You might have to do this a 2nd time, but if you have a good idea on the type of exercises this should be possiboe with about 2 weeks of preparation

For example

Also some others, but PDEs most common yeah

[surreal wave]

im gonna study on christmas day

[plain owl]

Don't think so

[surreal wave]

i wanna cry

[plain owl]

I wrote my master thesis on irreducibility in Banach lattices

I did apply it

For example i characterized irreducibility of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann semigroup

A Banach lattice is a Banach space with a linear order on it such that the supremum of 2 points exist

Virtually all function spaces you can think of for example

Scratch linear order

Partial order and it's an ordered vectorspace

Eh sure, thqt's one line in latex

Give me 5mins

[surreal wave]

back to studying bye guys

and merry xmas

[plain owl]

Good luck

yeah and also it just makes you an interesting person if you studied a humanities subject

[neat lintel]

I only have to take 4 more classes for a phil minor (I took 2 already because it's part of our core)

[cinder zephyr]

Right but I'm just saying this depends on what you'd rather use the space for

Basically in less words

If you have classes you'd rather take than the 4 classes for the Phil minor don't do the Phil minor

If you'd rather take those 4 Phil classes than other classes, do the Phil minor

Just take shit that sounds interesting

\begin{align*}
y & =\frac{\log _e\left(\frac{x}{m}-s a\right)}{r^2} \
y r^2 & =\log _e\left(\frac{x}{m}-s a\right) \

what's the square root of x

ah yes, doing stuff for the ✨✨aesthetic✨✨

REAL

you can say random interesting math shit

any continuous map from a ball to a ball got a constant point

hence if you swirl a cup of coffee, at any time, at least one particle doesn't change it's position

[river moon]

become a sky watcher nerd and start conversations that slowly derail into orbital mechanics/quantum physics

[cedar idol]

I still feel like there are many cool facts from topology that the layman can understand

[sick kite]

"hey do you know that in R^n closed and bounded implies compact?"

[cedar idol]

there was also a result from diff topo that implied that at any givent time there exists a point on the surface of the eart where there is no wind

pfft

If I were to take a non-techinical class I'd choose something english-leaning

like a literature class or some shit

or a writing class

sounds fake

ughhhh

history

but

I don't trust any uni to give an interesting history class

history is literally so interesting

modern history

like, you have enough information about modern history to figure out the narrative

which is the interesting part

if you talked about ancient babylonians for example you'd basically just be given facts that were gathered haphazardly through the relics we've found

chines history also sounds interesting

brother, I'd listen to how land ownership came about

as long as you're not just listing dates where stuff happened and you're actually weaving a narrative of events, I'm interested.

it's like a story

but like, it actually happened

the rise of nazism sounds interesting as well

and in general fascist states in europe

actually I think I would really wanna learn about that lmao

I dunno about you man

but I can definitely see myself bringing up hitler on a date

[sick kite]

there are probably acceptable contexts

[onyx garnet]

Hi everyone

[cedar idol]

"you know, I really love passionate people, there's just something so exhilarating seeing them talk about what they love. That's what I like most about you. "

"that's why you remind me of hitler"

[onyx garnet]

Check my username

[sick kite]

try it and lmk how it goes

[onyx garnet]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm my dating history.

LOL

😂

LOL

😂

Okay.

No.

I don't.

I only feel myself rn

ToT

And my love for my crush

Yes my dude.

[cedar idol]

Hotaro be playin GAME

Do not get your hopes up.

XDDDD Steve!!!

[cedar idol]

:(

[onyx garnet]

Never get your hopes up.

In your game?!

🎮

[cedar idol]

@neat lintel hit her with one of the pick ups I taught you

[onyx garnet]

I do not even have a list-.

0_0

[onyx garnet]

Please do not.

No.

My crush likes me back

[cedar idol]

@onyx garnet you remind him of hitler

[onyx garnet]

So jokes on you.

[onyx garnet]

Pfft.

😭

I am laughing rn inside.

I just met you bro..

0_0

You have a thing for Ron Weasley or somethin'?

Uh.

I guess I believe in that.

Butttt got my eyes for someone else.

-_-

[light needle]

ok this is weird yall should stop lol

p sure mona is a highschooler or smth

[onyx garnet]

No.

[onyx garnet]

I am.

Mhm.

Uh okay?

You too ig

;-;

Weirdest interaction ever.

In the history of interactions.

Nice.

Yep.

[mint mica]

Pascal's wager is children logic change my mind

[wild lantern]

No

[mint mica]

why not

what if there exists a god which would punish youmore for believing in ur god than not believing in any god

[wild lantern]

What if your opinion on this stuff is totally subjective and I don't see a point in trying to change your mind on it?

[static loom]

cuz ur right

[mint mica]

you dont have to

thats ehy i said "change my mind"

[wild lantern]

"is children logic" this is a fine opinion to have. Why would I argue against this?

[mint mica]

if you dont want to, then there was no point in you even reacting

[wild lantern]

The point was because I found it funny ngl

[mint mica]

hyperbole

[wild lantern]

Pascal's wager is a well known and highly criticized argument. I doubt anybody here is going to have some new criticism that hasn't been done to death.

[mint mica]

yea you are right

im just bored

[wild lantern]

Yah. It's fun to just bs around this stuff.

@plain owl the city states were a thing for a long time

modern democracy is barely a 150 years old...

[plain owl]

How is any of that relevant

[lavish kayak]

you said "failed in every place it was tried"

[plain owl]

Libertarianism is not related to democracy

[lavish kayak]

i see

[plain owl]

And especially not modern democracy

A democracy is a system of deciding who governs

[neat lintel]

hey

is anyone there?

[ocean harbor]

what's up

[split pawn]

hey

[visual breach]

Apparently, lol

[plain owl]

that's a joke, I hope

[sonic wind]

@delicate tide in fact, earth is actually a black hole

there are a lot of things on the surface of earth that capture light

most obviously plants

[delicate tide]

are you trolling rn

[sonic wind]

and photosynthesis causes the plant to travel through time

...ok yes this is absolutely ridiculous

[delicate tide]

earth is 3D

[sonic wind]

ok more seriously

why would being able to capture light suddenly make something 4D

[delicate tide]

never said that

you're twisting my words

and i can't be asked reiterating

[sonic wind]

...ok wait so looking back at exactly what you said

when something bends time enough to capture light, that makes it 4d

because of... travelling back in time...? i don't see how that's relevant at all

and also i still don't get why that would be the cutoff

[delicate tide]

no, the travelling time was a separate point

and i corrected my self

saying forward in time

you cant travel back in time

[sonic wind]

(...well actually you can if you allow FTL)

[delicate tide]

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/488950/are-black-holes-4-dimensional
this is the most relevant feed i could find

[sonic wind]

but ok yes if you travel faster than light then relative to some observers that means you travel forwards in time, i don't really know how that relates to anything about black holes so i'm just going to ignore it

[sonic wind]

ok well looking at the answer there

Spacetime is four-dimensional

so yeah nothing special about black holes, just, they're spacetime, and spacetime is 4d

that doesn't really explain anything about the view that black holes are 4d and earth isn't, earth is also a region of spacetime

[delicate tide]

you won't be able to find any scientist or physicist saying that earth is 4D

[sonic wind]

i think i probably could

[delicate tide]

Because with that logic if the implication is true then we'd have an uproar on the topic

[sonic wind]

i mean yes it's linguistically ridiculous to include time as a dimension of arbitrary physical objects, but it's not any less ridiculous for black holes?

[sonic wind]

...why would there be an uproar about it

it's just a random aspect of semantics it doesn't matter

[delicate tide]

i get your point but i'm not educated enough on the topic to be able to move forward with the discussion, but as far as i know I was told and taught that blackholes are 4D, some say are closest to 4th dimensional

[sonic wind]

if you can't actually say what 4d means with a definition by which black holes are that, then you weren't actually "taught" anything other than which sounds certain people make

[delicate tide]

because saying earth is 4D is a semi-bizarre claim

[sonic wind]

is there any observation you could make involving a black hole that you would expect to have different results depending on whether it's 4D or not?

[delicate tide]

The main reason I was told that black holes are 4th dimensional is because they are a spherical hole
