When it's 2:03 every number is prime too 
All numbers are prime, but some are more prime than others
0 being less prime than 1
(0) is a prime
(1), the best prime number
Tfw my point is empty
1 should be a prime, otherwise Spec F_1 won't make sense, right

Is this self study in some sense?
I mean yeah
How does your self study look like?
Do you just read stuff and skip proofs, exercises?
I'm curious
I mean I mostly read a lot of papers
And take a lot of notes in LaTeX
Usually amounts to rewriting some parts of papers and trying to improve exposition/combine things
Usually have some examples in mind or things I want to prove
Do you just keep those notes for yourself or do you share them or something?
mostly for myself but they eventually turn into papers or whatever
sometimes share them with people who are interested
thank yo
About this you're a "better version" of me but not that different, since i try to find new stuff with what i know of math (that isn't a lot)
last time i had an interesting tought was a geometrical progression with geometrical figures instead of numbers, which the area stays the same but the sides are added by one with each corresponding term.
I hate my professor
anyone know whats the difference between the green and the red book of mathematical problems
Well, one is green and another is red
red is math
Blue is math
Purple is math squared
Me too
one is covered in blood
the only prof i ever hated was my mechanics prof
he would not shut up about his bs startups when he was supposed to be teaching physics, also he wrote the textbook and it’s dense with errors 
Move fast and break things 
did the startups succeed?
Well he was a mechanics prof
(as in, as opposed to running a start-up)
why is life so boring why can't the earth spontaneously explode or something
NONO
that would be even more boring
It's because you're not a kia boy
would you rather the earth be destroyed because of some intergalactic highway construction project?
that would be very not boring
Notation question: normally when we write functions we can specify their types by writing, say, f: R^n -> R. If I have a function that takes in an arbitrary number of arguments, how would I write it?
there's no such thing
if you want you can come up with something like the set of sequences that represent your "arbitrary number of arguments"
and then define a function from that set to whatever
let's just say f is, say, a mean, a sum, a l^p norm...
maybe it's a bit of an abuse of notation :p
there's still finite number of arguments there
n arguments isn't arbitrary anymore, it's n
fair, but normally when you write f:R^n-> R you expect n to be fixed or at least known a priori
I'm trying to hint that "you should ignore this", sorta like _ in some programming languages
Ultimately a function always has one argument, a function of n variables (say from R^n into R) is ackshually a function whose one argument is a tuple of n real numbers, i.e. an element (just one) of R^n. So if you want ot think of your function as taking an arbitrary number of variables, you'd probably want its domain to be the union of R^n's over some range of n
yes and it's easy to recursively define a set of functions with at most n arguments once you fix n
but it's hard to make it a function that can take both finite number of arguments and infinte number of them
Yeah, my suggestion isn't actually the way I'd recommend doing that, it would make more sense to consider a family of functions from R^n into R over varying n
And establish some properties of that family that are independent of n
I was just responding to gnd
fair fair haha
Sure, I was just clarifying that my suggestion isn't actually worth using
Just that you could do it if you were really determined to do so for some reason
at least in C++ it just makes enough different functions with as many arguments as you needed
Python does let you define a function with unspecified arguments
But functions in programming aren't really quite the same as functions in mathematics
I mean, that is the canonical way it happens.
Possibly already has
What order of math regarding calculus , and advanced maths like analysis and combitronics will you suggest; I know like before calc its algebra 1, algebra 2, then geometry, but is there a given order afterwards
It branches out in different directions
Not really, and even the classes like algebra 1 -> geometry or whatever isn’t universal
In the UK for example, and I think a lot of Europe, you just do “maths” and it’s all mixed
oh ok, it's just like i thought it as a general directon but ig there really isnt one
Typically after your standard highschool maths assortment you’d do like linear algebra analysis, differential equations and multi variable calculus then maybe like abstract algebra, complex analysis and topology but there isn’t really a set order to do these things
They’re all interwoven but also kinda independent, you’ll get different things and different approaches depending on what you already know
it's bigger than the number of possible things that can happen in the universe
wait how many is the universe
like im not surprised in the slightest
but thats an extreme understatement of how big this number is imo
yeah
idk but its a lot smaller
the number of outcomes is actually about skewes number lol
oh and for the record, thats how many 1's this program halts with:
>>-[-[[->+>+<<]>[-<+>]>-]+<<<<]
i once invented a large number
about
nahh really
that small
yes really
BB(6) found?!
LOL pretty much
well no theres definitely a bigger number that you could make with that small a program, but the pattern would be unintelligible
ill check it out
I can try to explain how it works, it kind of simulates a cellular automata of sorts
my number is bigger than that number
yea
mine is small sauce compared to most numbers in googology
ohhp
not yet
ill watch ur video before i explain it
yeah that is crazy big @neat lintel
very clever too i like it
yeah
alright and now to explain
imagine you have a 5
and it splits into [n-1][n-1] (they are next to each other not multiplied or smth)
so 5 ->44
but you can only split if you arent blocked
so if you keep going you end up with 43211
and the 2's bubble to the top to become 2 more 1s
43211
43121
43112
431111
makes the program smaller , yeah
well its not that simple
oh
look at the program again
-[-[[->+>+<<]>[-<+>]>-]+<<<<]
the first is to start the loop
the second is placed there because of golfing fuckery
and its just crazy recursive?
i tried to understand the biggest number on googology once
I mean you could have just spammed tree or smth
the fandom
i failed
which one would that be?
also what is the largest one actually i found like 5 contenders
yeah some of the definitions are super confusing
rayo is like 3rd tho right
I think theyre too big to compare LOL
not sure
i learned some set theory to understand rayo
i wonder
now take my number
what about SKI combinator calculus?
YES
oh wait thats loader
gtg for like 10 mins
aight cya
I escaped to here
...People be talking about rings and groups in #discussion (it's almost a meme)
rings are the the the htet hethet the the]
im back for a few mins
i dont like the oracle ones cause its probably extremely hard to prove their relative size to other numbers
yeah true
i wonder if we can make ur thing more powerful
also consider smth thats on the verge of being tc, but isnt
oh yeah def
i just came up with a cellular automaton and decided to brinfuck it
that should stabilize
hmm
ok
the cells wrap at 256
alright
o yeah i forgot 😭
yeah theres stuff i could try, its been on my mind the past week or so, so im just kinda stewing it
How did you deal with that?
How did you still have the motivation to study even tho like your prof is like that
Anyone know good tips to improve at math and get my grade up and all my other subjects like just improve in general my weakest subject is math and I study all of my subject every day but I still do so shi
Use the help channels
you could ask for help from others if you dont understand something. im not too sure how you study like but the way you study things can be important
remember to take breaks and stuff tho. sleeping can make you memorise information better too. and study what you dont understand the most first, or the hardest
you can also try practice exams and papers, textbooks and yea
oh and also if you get your past math papers or somethin
review what you failed to do
and take notes of things you either need help with, need to study, etc. something like that
there are many resources and youtube too. i also recommend you to study on a workbook rather than online because it helps to memorise information better
stay hydrated too and dont always overwork yourself. first plan your study sessions and topics and probably stick to it
ok
we can do it tmr if u want, im free
sure, me too
Make sure you understand the things you are studying?
i dont understand how "you have one half of a pizza and you divide by a fourth of a pizza and now you have 2 new pizzas" -https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nxEJAycwuh4
perhaps this: one half is a ratio. every chicken gets has two eggs.
every dog wants 4 eggs.
distribute 1 chicken's eggs among 4 dogs.
i dont knowww.... someone
say this:
two people make a couple
every 4 people gets 1 cake.
2 cakes per couple.
WHAT its wrong bruh
2 couples per cake.
EAZYYYYY
You can't divide a pizza by a pizza
It is not well defined
it gives a unitless number no?
in that case it makes sense. the ratio of 1/2 to 1/4 is 2:1, and the 2 is just pointless for conceptuallization without units
i didn’t, lol, i stopped going to lectures but passed just fine… i had meant to take more physics after that but when i saw he was teaching that as well i just didn’t bother
half a cake per couple?
4 people get 1 cake, each person gets fourth of a cake
i meant this one
Hello
does anyone know how to study or a morning routine for the morning if ur planning to study for 12 hours at home and ur lazy asf in the morning
There is no magical technique or method.
Wake up, wash your face. Don't start chatting or scrolling. Open your book and study.
The way to study is to just do it
Play some yoko kanno while you do so https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL418AB12A48A2E142
Set small goals while studying like
I'll finish this one chapter
And when you accomplish that goal set a new one
protip: don't study for 12 hours in a day
I wonder how one can get that much time.
cocaine
Discussion 1 is going wild
Doing quantum physics for 12 hours is amazing
But I need calculator definitely
Why do clean and jerks hurt my thoracic spine?
Not a physio or an Olympic lifter so I could be way off but that sounds like it could just be a core strength issue
But it is also just a lift that puts a lot of force on your back so it could be a lot of things
am i allowed to ask a physics question in this channels
Bad form is always a possibility
You're better off recording a video and going on a gym discord to ask
(Or switching lifts)
Yes
hy does anyone know a good competitive programming server?
They're all bad
what some good music to listen to that helps u stay focused
My cat is eating flies, should i be concerned?
Nah
oh you already joined nice @neat lintel
searching for server links on Codeforces
I remember there are quite a few
You're studying math?
yea
during day time i just can’t work idk
like i try
it works for like
10 mins
then stops
can't work?
Like solving problems or reading book?
both
i mean study
How can I apply what i've learned in math? Like (for example) I go online and learn about linear algebra and read books about mathematical proofs and logic but never use them, I'm too young and inexperienced to get a job that makes me do math every day but I really want to use what I've learned
This is an open problem mathematics are still trying to solve
alright then, i guess ill just keep learning until i finally get to use what i know
im just going to eat a shit load of food
Many times to no success, maybe i'm aiming too high by tring to make engines with Vulkan or OpenGl
You'll fall into a food coma. You wont be able to study if that happens
it just feels so tideous when i just focus
true
Yeah, thats kinda crazy
I tried that as well... It takes way too many fucking lines to draw a triangle
vulkan in rust takes like 500-600 for a triangle, its crazy
Idk
When i was doing it in rust I just used winit and softbuffer.
Winit to create a window, and softbuffer to draw to it using an array of pixels
Was able to do most things without having to worry about everything the GPU does
There's SDL2/3 which makes doing graphics easy. I think its available for any language
To be honest I think game dev is my best bet, it's something i find interesting and i can use what i've learned to make things that i can then play
but the one qualm with game dev is level design
do you mean perspective projection or like actually going further
like building meshes colors and then raytracing
imma overdose on water
By no success i mean i start another project and forget about those because the tutorials are long and boring to me
The concepts are by no means too difficult to understand and implement
It's just that by the time i get to the part where they do that, I've already lost so much motivation to work on it because I've been copying code to make window classes and such for many hours
I want like someone who would volunteer to help me with my 16 question dynamics hw because I got alot of other subjects to focus on
It's like a 16 question dynamics hw abt thrust , anyone up to help me with that? Pls
@lost linden #help-5 message
If you're still interested, you could do
Mikkel Angelo
hello does someone know encoder or decoder?
never heard of her
Game dev sounds fun huh?
What stops you, I also struggle despite my interest
Oh here you are explaining exactly my problem
They want to give me a recipe instead of arming me with enough knowledge to determine a good recipe from scratch
Which I understand may be because of the breadth and depth of knowledge that it requires. Idk if that is the reason but idc either way
Regardless of if i apply what i learn, i just like learning math
whether someone is better than me, whether i learn it wrong, whether it takes me a year to finish a book, idc i like it
Are there conditions in which differentiating f, solving for inverse of f', and then integrating again wouldn't hold for computing the inverse of f?
...almost always?
like have you tried this on an example
like youre trying to solve [f^{-1} = \int (f')^{-1}] right?
Namington
in other words, you want [(f^{-1})' = (f')^{-1}] up to a constant, i.e. when do derivative and inverse commute
Namington
to solve this, it might be useful to know the fact [(f^{-1})'(x) = \frac{1}{f'(f^{-1}(x))}] for nonzero values
Namington
in other words, you want $(f')^{-1} = \frac{1}{f' \circ f^{-1}}$ which is an ODE problem
Namington
(and one that AFAICT does not have nice solutions)
Would it be a sufficient explanation to say that a system of linear equations cannot have 2 solutions because the solutions represent an intersection at either one point (one solution), a line/plane (infinite solutions) or no intersection at all (no solution)?
you know what they say trust ur heart feeling🥰🙏
this feels like saying "a system cannot have 2 solutions because it cannot have 2 solutions" to me
idk what standard of rigour your course requires
but i would not consider this a formal proof
heres a hint: suppose you have a system $Ax = b$ with two distinct solutions $u, v$
Namington
so $Au = Av = b$
Namington
note that $b = \frac{b+b}{2}$
Namington
and therefore $b = \frac{b+b}{2} = \frac{Au + Av}{2}$
Namington
can you use this to conclude the existence of a third solution, not equal to u or v?
I don’t think so 👀
$\frac{Au + Av}{2} = A\left(\frac{u+v}{2}\right) = b$
Namington
does writing it like this help?
So you’re asking if I can state whether something like Aw=b exists with the equation you gave
where w isn't equal to u or v, yes
the point of the strategy is that we're trying to show, if you have at least 2 solutions, you can find a third solution
can anyone help me with matrix?
(and you can repeat this process arbitrarily to argue you can find infinitely many solutions)
in other words, its impossible to have exactly 2 solutions
Can anyone here create websites?
Does a neocities site count?
I have a template but idk how to create a website with it 😭
What’s that?
Geez I’m too dumb for my own good
😭
are you familiar with html and css?
react could work too
Yes a little
Wdym?
there's another language called react
yea I'm trying lmfao
its going very skibidi thanks for asking🥰🙏
Im very sorry you are feeling skibidi in this fine day
its all well sir at least im not fanum taxxed by baby gronk🥰
May I introduce you to grass?
of course who is this grass person🤔
Its a mystical being
It can only be found in a mythical place called outside
Legends say that those who went outside never came back (my dad)
😏
oh ive already grassmaxxed🥰🙏
your dad just went to see how far the skibidi toilet goes🥰🙏
You "you are my specialz" grass?
He followed what his forefathers did
sir i dont understand what you mean🤔
They are cyclemaxing😔
you should uncyclemax🥳
He jujutsu'd the kaisen
Is this a metahpor🤔📝
noo i havent weebmaxxed😔💯
Sadge
gyat
I gyatt for maths
Think of it postive u weeb mogged me😁
indeed💯
I'm doing diff geo
I am in grade 11 and my school teach us things other countries do in grade 9🤣☠
Damn
5+5=10 hope that helped🥰
Gotta keep that knowledge up to date
Bruh idk how to☠
Where helper role? Server missing out
What did thr bone thing mean
i had to give the others a chance🙄
give it a rest😭🙏
Hey man you are smart
What grade did yall start doing Calculus
Quite humble
kindergarden🥰
like I'm 11th now, so 9th grade
Womb
after 2 years almost I'm doing now diff. geo.
Aight so I am done
All the things I did were; precalc, calculus I,II,III, Vector calculus, Complex numbers, Real analysis , linear algebra, tensor algebra, functional analysis(taylor seriues, fourier series, transform, laplace transform) ODE theory, PDE theory (little bits), general topology, differential geometry, algebraic topology, reinmannian geometry
Sameeeee
Wtf
Ye you can grind these in 2 years but you have to study a lot
So ur in grade 11?
Yes
- I studied physics
Like QM I, mecahnics applied to machines, Fluid mechanics, solid mechanics
and all these courses require just all the maths I cited except the last 4 points
No way bruh I am still doing how yo find x in grade 11
idk I'm a tryhard
Which channel or book did u use
Functional analysis isn’t Taylor or Fourier series, Taylor series are just like basic analysis and Fourier stuff is much more harmonic analysis. Functional is about normed vector spaces and linear operators etc
Also how are you almost doing diff geo if you’ve already done differential geometry and riemannian geometry lmao
Nope why do you cook?
oh my bad
I always thought the opposite
almost doing?
I mean you can definitely look at like Fourier transforms and stuff through the lense of funcanal but Taylor series’s etc aren’t functional analysis
Yeah you said you’re almost ready to learn it then claimed you already did it lol
I agree, well in general there's a work on functions on them
When did I say it
today or a month ago?
Oooh interrogation going on
Yes
Ah I misread, you said you’re now doing it
I think I told you I wanted to do it a few months ago
Well I actualyl took general topology lol
Either way, I’m still confused, you said you’ve learned all of these topics? How do you learn riemannian geometry before diffgeo lol
Never told
.
Reinmannian geometry should be done after dif geom
It just studies diff. manifolds with a metric defined locally or globally
I know what Riemmanian geometry is
Lmao
lol
oh I remember that bit
I was doing idff. geo for the first time
and was thinking of deifing the metric tensor on spherical coordinates
but like with a transition map lol
in the sam emanifold
so basically I was thinking of deifing spherical coordinates metric tensor through a transition map on the same manifold lol
Actually it would be almost correct since it should be a diff. application from R^n to R^n and you would get the same thing
not thorugh a diffeomorh. beetween manifolds
So who won?
Damn it was a tie
maybe I really didn't knew the topics
There are people who think they are the best in maths when they actually didn't study the topics, it's called dunnning-kruger effect or placebo effect
Im just starting out but there is a lot of smart people here or in mathstackexchange you can ask, but best to be upfront about some info so people know what to explain and what not to
Isnt like dunning Krueger a widely misused concept most of the time?
It's liek the peak mount stupid thing
Just to tell when there's a placebo, which means you think something is true by istinct, when it's not
Example; there's an active user on yt that things to have proven a mathematical problem by using an approximation algorithm
It was the uniq. and exist. of navier stokes eq., he was using FDM..., and he wans't able to do an integral
Dunning-Kruger effect = overestimating your abilities, both because of cognitive bias and not knowing what you don't know.
Placebo effect = Taking a treatment that scientifically has no effect on you, but you believe it does anyway (and feel better for it)
Trueee
Yes I meant that basically
That's placebo
Honorary Mention
Imposter Syndrome = Doubting your own abilities even though they're adequate
On the other hand sometimes you just are inadequate
Well looks like i have imposter syndrome😏
I was just thinking, there has to be an intersection lol
Doubting your abilities even though you believe they're adequate (when they really aren't)
Dunning-Kruger Imposter Syndrome Effect 
I'm the most suspicious here because I'm in 11-th grade 💀
Imposter syndrome is everywhere but I see it the worst in Math/CS communities.
While imposter syndrome exists in Medicine, there's many recognized divisions in levels of medicine, for example nurses and physicians, then even within physicians, such as general surgery vs neurosurgery vs pediatric neurosurgery.
However we all just do "math" and everyone's a "software engineer" and there's always someone better, making one feel stupid often.
Yes
I would suspect someone who is in 11-th grade as well
tehre was a dude solivng a gaussian integral, and he actually changed the problem to make it easier
with 1 -year less than me
There's literal 14-year-olds in this server doing graduate level math. Then you have people in their 30s and 40s studying math for the first time.
This is a cursed blessed place
idk ego is important as well but should be kept in control, we all have a big potential
Indeed
I try to be in equilibrium with subjects
and not exagerate on a specific topic
Because I study a bit of engineering too
How come I've never seen 40s just beginning math
Not many 40s hang out in discussy lol
Oh
what about 14's
whats their graduate topics
Also I'm not in my 40s but I'm a late starter and it's already... difficult doing a mid-career change to a brand new field. I couldn't imagine being even more established in a field. I've talked to some people in their 40s and 50s who always wanted to do xyz and they're just like why change careers now, it's too late.
Hang out in Discussion and ask
They're all asleep right now though, they'll be on in like 8 hours
thanks ok
Awwww, that's sad
wait a sec
this is actually deep
im 14
no
what are your topics?
If I had to choose I would choose diff. geo
because it connects a lot of topics
at once
mine is probably diff and int i think
int?
integral
wdym
Hello
...so Calculus?
I like integrals on manifolds lol
Pretty much
It gets better/worse in like 10 math classes past that
but it’s deceeent
look I?m integrating over R^3, a differnetiable manifold of class C^inf with maximal atlas........
Imagine stating all of the formalities of diff. geom before integrating, on R^n
I don't think he's graduate
No that's HS level, like Calc 2

That was a joke
ye like hte volume form
and like imagine saying; divergence of B, well exteriorderivative on the 1-form because there's an isomorphism given by the metric with covectors and vectors
That is a beautiful sentence
trivial
I know someone who genuinely found vector calculus (curl, divergence, etc.) until he read about the general Stokes theorem, and then it all clicked.
how? shouldn't he do the co-homology rahm
how could he understand lol
Yes, he learnt de Rham cohomology along the way.
oh ok
I'm doing the topic btw I'm new to it
I found out yesterday all of this(just 1-forms isomorphic to vectors etc)
you mean he found vec calculus difficult until?
Yes, that's what I said.
I think the problem for him is that the definitions of curl and divergence in Cartesian coordinates were treated as God-given. But they're actually intrinsically tied to the Euclidean metric and the corresponding Hodge star operator.
But what had been done in calculus until then didn't depend so much on the Euclidean metric.
The reason why this is problematic is that, very often, vector calculus problems are easier to solve in polar or spherical coordinates, where the gradient, curl and divergence have different expressions from the ones in Cartesian coordinates. But, if your definition of gradient, curl and divergence is the Cartesian expressions, then you will have a hard time realizing this.
so super sigma
anyone in here dutch?
cause i only have my questions in dutch and otherwise i need to translate everything

No, moreso as an intermediate step in solving for the inverse of something else where some $f$ has no known inverse, but $f'$ does, so my idea is to compute the inverse of $f'$ and integrate this inverse, then exploit the relation of area of inverse to the area of the inverse of the inverse to compute the inverse of $f$.
Andrew Porter
Seems like the identity you gave, however, relating the derivative of $f$ inverse to the derivative of $f$ composed with the inverse of $f$ conveniently provides some way forward potentially.
Andrew Porter
まーかまわないけど
Are yall mewing
気にしないから気にしないのか、気にしないから気にしないのか
Consider, for example, solving for the inverse of $x - \arcsin(x)$.
Andrew Porter
I'm aware of that. Thank you btw
Then why bother telling me if you don't care lol

@dawn oasis hello good morning, I thought you already dmed me but I've gotten two ads dms instead 
Is it from that one guy inviting to their server with like 7 paragraphs?
yeah
lmfao

bro my mom did this, and the drawing was so goofy
Oh yes you are an abstract artist are you not
What? Bought ai art?
I am
yes
but haven't done these in ages
They bought AI art of our dogs that came in a picture frame then hung it on the wall
I googled cool character
indeed
Wait i might be wrong here but why ai art of your dogs?
What happened to em irl?
Oh wait you sold the picture?
you should often check #1192929131407626402 owo
Yeah people with actual drawing talent are there
Wait
I made an art i will post it tjere

what type of physics?
Hihi sorry I went to sleep…anyways are you free rn? Can I dm you now?
what would yall say is better for self study, a physical textbook or an online one like openstax or pauls online notes?
depends entirely on the person.
me: all of the above.
Why a second one
i guess you're right
mer? second what?

Physical
cause 2 conversations at same time maybe
I can hit you a similar question, why not a third discussion?
cause 2 is the magic number
Cause 2 to many

As people say
so 0?
I prefer online textbooks because I don’t have to carry them around

nah, i intentionally misread it as 2 too many
I lost brain cells from reading that

does it have to be arch? 
surely this is the year of Linux on the desktop
Do I know you from somewhere
from mathcord, probably
Are you in a cpp server by chance
u just need two days of googling on ur phone
Use Artix instead
mac is declining. arch users on the rise
i am, but only recently, you wouldn't know me from that server
i only joined to see qylo struggling with pointers 
True
But searching "sddm hyprland login screen turns black on correct password" is very long and overspecific ⇒ probably 0 results
O
And anything else will probably get a different problem
Ill do it later sometime someday
ud be surprised
Not at all
Probably a couple thousand

Not to be presumptive, have you attempted to rtfm
Oh yeah actually
I think my SDDM does that sometimes
I have no idea what that is
I just ctrl+alt+F3 to a different TTY, restart the service, and go back
rtfm=Read The Fucking Manual
Archwiki, manpages
Doesn't solve all problems but many
There comes a point i have yet to cross where you have enough baseline knowledge to know what to look up in the manual
The sequence I usually use is like
Ctrl+Alt+F3
username
password
sudo rc-service sddm restart
exit
Ctrl+Alt+F7
Or smth
What distro are you using?
I use Artix with OpenRC, strong chance this exact sequence won't cut it for you
And if you managed to setup Artix, then you have enough knowledge to rtfm
Id need to double check
I dont know what i expected but it just says arch linux
If you installed arch you should be able to read the manuals
Hello math enjoyers
Hello there
Are you enjoying the hit subject mathematics
read the friendly manual? :D
theres always debugging from log files as a final resort
@unkempt marsh you should re-ask your question, the channel timed out
Seems to be about that point
nu är vi inte här🔥
verkligt
hello
Did you all do NWEA MAP?
Do you know organic chemistry tutor
If i have 5 cookies and I divide it among 1 person, that 1 person gets 5 cookies, 5/1=5. If I do 5/0 there's 0 people to give cookies, therefore my answer is 0, but I still have 5 cookies, so my actual answer is 0 with a remainder of 5
i'm just kidding idk what the fuck i'm talking about
If I have 5 cookies and I divide it among 1/2 person, then that 1/2 person gets 10 cookies, 5/(1/2) = 10.
if I have 5 cookies and eat them all, I have no cookies.
then I am a very sad person 
sad but full
A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts🤔
but my cookie jar is empty!
how can I live like this
moral of the story: don't eat your cookies or else you will be sad forever
until you bake new cookies
if you wish to bake new cookies from scratch, you must first invent the universe
i'm one click away from inventing a new universe
I cannot tell if you got the reference or not
hmm
well, please invent some new universes for me
I cannot tell if you got the reference or not either
so I can have my cookies back
I did not
I assume you got mine then?
If the word click doesn't click, then you did not
it did not, so I did not
Then I did not get yours either
well, then is a weird interaction then
I was referring to cookie clicker
oh
why didn't I think about that
I've played cookie clicker a ton
LOL
"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe" - Carl Sagan
cookie clicker took this too literally I suppose
He was also heavy into Minecraft, though he was annoyed because he was having trouble updating his hacks. Once, he said, he and a friend tried to hack math itself by proving that 1 equals 0, but then realized that it is forbidden to divide by 0. Tao rolled his eyes.
- "You can't divide by 0"
- "Well, not with that attitude"
you can try, but you'll make any mathematicians roll their eyes
you don't want to get into that kind of spin
especially when it'll cause you to make a lot of circular arguments
and even if you can do it rigorously, your results won't wheely be that interesting
I hope he's playing on a server that allows hacks.
Every server allows hacks if you're good enough 
owl
where?
Why is owl be jumpscary
Well, they are predators
That one is probably dead by now, it's one of the first internet memes
Before we even had the word "meme"
I mean that silly old man was probably already using it in his works, but it hadn't penetrated to anywhere near the current extent
The heady days of orly, badgerbadgerbadger and goatse
(do not look up goatse if you don't know what it is)
He was playing on the 2b2t server.

"They know, where you are, and where your mother has been"
Well, that is appropriate and it's the center of innovation in hacking Minecraft.
That’s a throw back 
That's one of the things you might call it, yes
I’m not sure it’s something I wanted to remeber but hey, now I do
One of my favourite conspiracy theories is that it inspired the design for the Nokia N-Gage
Can't unsee it, can you
an idea of people that are somehow bigger than some infinite cardinals popped into my mind
and i realized if space is continuous, we are those people

guys I need some one who has a math degree to discuss with me a property of parabola pls and thank you!
what kinda parabola is bro analyzing
what property
i have 90 math degrees
lol
I'm more of an obtuse mathematician
Hello chat
could anybody hop on a call with me and explain to me these geometry questions, im in online school and i need help
i meant gradians
That is deranged
has anyone read the book called "the little prince" before
no but I've heard
Literally decades ago
I mostly remember the drunk
My role model
I have to write an essay for it and make connections with movie called "The martian" and I have no clue lmao

I don't think the little prince had something related for "drunk"
gotta use gpt and move on lol
wait it is actually has drunk
Yes, I genuinely read the book and I genuinely remember that bit
me processing what might be the difference
Also I've looked up the plot synopsis sand I genuinely remembered pretty much just the bit about the drunk and about the snake/elephant/hat drawing
I remembered there was a rose but I didn't remember what was with her
between genuinely read & genuinely remember, genuinely read & remember, read & genuinely remember, and just read and remember
How is gd a game of skill
muscle memory, hand eye coordination, precise movement?
its like saying fps games arent skill
anybody can do that
just play over and over
you don't use your brain or anything
isnt it the point to practice any game?
fps games have strategies
unexpected times where you have to use ur brain
same here, you have to learn patterns and sight read
sight read?
you don't need to sight read if you have played the same lvl 50k times
thats the whole point of flukes
practice gamemode
most tops don't abuse practice
learning patterns isn't using your brain
you turn off your brain for that lol
people fluke a level from 18%
i'd like to see a fluke of slaughter house
i belive someone did it from 60
1
slaugtherhouse is not that hard for top players now
its 7
tidal wave is much, much harder
7th is still hard
have you seen top 3?
i dont need to
all of them are notorious
acheron kept its #1 position for 9 months, avernus is notorious for having the most frame perfects in a top 10, and tidal wave is #1 rn and has the longest playing time out of all levels
they are all extremely hard
whats the correlation
bro
you basically said it
frame perfects are inputs you need to make perfectly and they only have 1 frame margin of error
yes
imagine doing 20-30 of those while going through really difficult gameplay
isnt that really hard to do?
just play 100K times
you have to learn frame perfects
yeah. Slaughterhouse was beaten 3x in a row recently
crazy stuff
muscle memory
you cant mindlessley play for 100k attempts and get 20-30 frame perfects in one level
by a 14 yr old, no less
yes you can you'll eventually reach it
I know who wpopoff is
been following him since be beat slh the first time
14 yr olds have so much time bro
I see
saying that gd is noskill
GD definitely takes skill
im 15, don't really have much time to practice levels like those
he has school yk
if it didn't, I'd have beaten TW by now lol
