[pulsar pagoda]

no

wait

ahh

yeah

that

[jagged forge]

bungo liar confirmed

[peak tide]

this

[pulsar pagoda]

the main issue at intel is that their too spoiled

[jagged forge]

well they seem to be the opposite of that rn

[peak tide]

i dunno about that, they aren't actually compensated all that well

[jagged forge]

people getting axed left and right

[pulsar pagoda]

not really

the only people at intel who are worth it

[jagged forge]

scrambling to restructure the business

[pulsar pagoda]

are the internal affairs department

they are the firefighters of intel

the only ones kept for long periods of time

that is the case at least in costa rica

ive heard shit about incompetence that would blow ur mind

So there is this guy, lets call him santi

once in a project I spoke too much and made it so santi had to implement night mode for an app (the feature was not planned)

the guy learned android, react native and chinese (enough to interact with the device for the mvp)

in 1 week

even though I did that

he didnt get mad

but this guy

santi

He got out of intel cause he called his supervisor a fucking (r word here), who doesnt have a brain.

Santi told his supervisor that he didnt knew how he got to work at all cause he doubted he could even drive his car

thats how bad it was

like A guy thats full chill

gets to that

[peak tide]

haha, worst i ever called my manager (to his face) was "wrongheaded"
and he brought that up nearly every week thereafter

he still bought booze for me though so he was a good egg

[pulsar pagoda]

oh btw santi is working for a company called avionix now

and they pay shit

also kind of a sweat shop

he prefers that

than intel

[jagged forge]

my coworker quit and emailed the whole company saying the ceo was two-faced and listed bullet points supporting his case

[pulsar pagoda]

should tell u something

[peak tide]

that name sounds familiar, avionix

[peak tide]

haha way to burn bridges, must be very liberating

[pulsar pagoda]

https://www.avionyx.com/about-avionyx-do178c-do254

[peak tide]

i've mostly been more diplomatic than people deserved

[peak tide]

oh joby aviation yea, i know someone who left apple to go there actually

[jagged forge]

my other coworker quit after he got put on a pip and was going to stay for 1 more week
then he got on a call and started talking about it and trash talking his manager and then they escorted him out

[peak tide]

in santa cruz

[peak tide]

haha rip

[jagged forge]

tbh he regrets it because the project i've been working on for the last 2 years is like, his dream project

which started shortly after he left

[pulsar pagoda]

santa cruz guanacaste?

https://careers-avionyx.icims.com/jobs/search?ss=1&hashed=-625979065 maybe I should try to get in there

[peak tide]

california

[pulsar pagoda]

ahh the non cool place

https://careers-avionyx.icims.com/jobs/2639/intern-software-engineer/job

maybe I should give that to deltoid

[peak tide]

yea you never know what the future might bring, i've never burned bridges for better or worse

[pulsar pagoda]

https://careers-avionyx.icims.com/jobs/3383/sr.-software-engineer/job

also the job for that position is 4k

monthly

the sr one

[jagged forge]

i hope this project is worth it because it's been so much effort and pain the last 2 years 💀

if it helps me become a staff engineer some day it will be worth it

[peak tide]

my best promotions have been either when i changed jobs or when i did some absolutely horrible herculean high profile task

highly recommend the changing jobs option

[pulsar pagoda]

https://www.avionyx.com/services-avionyx-do178c-do254

not gonna lie

this fits a lot of what I want to do

[jagged forge]

yea there's not really anywhere for me to go higher at my current company unless we suddenly grow really fast

[peak tide]

apply for a job, what's the worst that could happen?

[pulsar pagoda]

I get hired and cant deliver

[jagged forge]

a recruiter might send your resume to your boss

[pulsar pagoda]

my boss?

[peak tide]

yea don't do that 🤣

[jagged forge]

(totally not speaking from experience or anything )

[pulsar pagoda]

Im definitely going to try that building an interpreter of python in c++ thing

sounds like a good idea considering I get to learn python by learning c++

[peak tide]

said recruiter deserves to have his resume spammed to a bunch of bullshit scam employers

[jagged forge]

i should have called his boss or something and got him fired

[pulsar pagoda]

the guy im working with is a tech lead here https://www.ridgerun.com/

[peak tide]

this is definitely not the easy route to learning python haha

[peak tide]

fr

[jagged forge]

i didn't do anything because my boss gave me a raise as a result

[pulsar pagoda]

Who said I like things easy?

[peak tide]

i mean any reasonable boss knows that all employees are always in principle open to other work

[pulsar pagoda]

https://www.ridgerun.com/fpga-development so he basically opened this product line for the company

[jagged forge]

i feel very conflicted about this

[peak tide]

btw just thought i'd mention that i'm still coughing my lungs out 9 fucking days into this little covid episode

[jagged forge]

currently i'm the only person who understands a critical part of the codebase on my project

[peak tide]

not recommended

[jagged forge]

so it would suck if i up and left

[pulsar pagoda]

they would probably offer u a raise If u bringed leaving

[jagged forge]

idk

[peak tide]

any competent manager knows that anyone can leave at any time, they should never put themselves in a situation where a single person leaving would crater them

if they ignore that standard wisdom, that's not your problem

[jagged forge]

yeah

i've suggested open sourcing the part of our codebase, which would be better in that respect, and my boss was open to it, but it's obviously not a priority

[peak tide]

that said, when i give notice i generally offer to do a few code walkthrough sessions of critical stuff where i was the one who knew the most about it

which works out fairly well

[jagged forge]

yeah

i've been working on database stuff for 2 years and while it's very cool and technical idk if i want to do it anymore

building a database is hard

[peak tide]

yea nothing wrong with that, expand your horizons

[jagged forge]

whatever i do i'd like it to involve more math

[pulsar pagoda]

well isnt db building a lot of finite model theory?

[jagged forge]

yea i mean there's math, relational algebra etc

idk if it's my flavor of math

[pulsar pagoda]

u want analysis

not algebra I guess

[jagged forge]

probability and statistics yeah

so yeah, math, except it has to be something useful and applicable at scale, otherwise there's limited career trajectory there

so nothing super obscure i guess

[pulsar pagoda]

operations research

[peak tide]

there's a fairly wide variety of roles where at least some statistics can be involved

[jagged forge]

yeah

[peak tide]

seems like there's always a need for some degree of data visualization and quantifying performance in various ways

[jagged forge]

i do like data a lot

[pulsar pagoda]

either that or DSP

[peak tide]

yea definitely

my last job had a fair amount of estimation theory, some kalman filtering, hidden markov models, bunch of linear algebra for various purposes

[jagged forge]

that sounds cool

[fringe summit]

Rare discussy 2

[peak tide]

some degree of ML also

[jagged forge]

hopefully i don't have to take a pay cut to do cool stuff

[peak tide]

no way, take a pay increase to do cool stuff

[jagged forge]

yeah that's the plan

[peak tide]

who the fuck do these employers think is in charge anyway

[pulsar pagoda]

the dumb politicians

[peak tide]

no, they only think they're in charge

flea's ass wagging the dog's tail

[pulsar pagoda]

[peak tide]

unhappy times

fortunately the ones here spend most of their time grandstanding about culture wars and mostly leave us the fuck alone (except when it comes time for the tax bill)

[pulsar pagoda]

@fringe summit sonic evades his taxes

[neat lintel]

do you guys know what is rational equation? Can you guys help me? I'm watching tutorial in YouTube for almost 1 hour but I still don't get it☹️☹️

[surreal sapphire]

please read #❓how-to-get-help and dont use giant text

[brittle socket]

That's why they're not piss

[old oak]

Yeah, the trick is to use withering condescension rather than outright aggression.

[neat lintel]

@neat lintel are you here

[neat lintel]

Yess

[neat lintel]

First, you need to understand what a rational number is A rational number is any number that can be written as a ratio of two integers like 4 =8/2

π, √2 and e are some non rational numbers which cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers

A rational expression is a quotient or ratio of two polynomials. Example:
(2x + 1)/4x is a rational expression

A rational equation is an equation that involves rational expressions. For example the equation (2x + 4)/7y = 4 is a rational equation

@neat lintel do you have any doubt?

[neat lintel]

Tysmm

1.) 6/x + 3/x² = 9/x

2.) 3/x+1 - x/x-1 = -11/x² - 1

Can you help me get the LCD if it's okay? @neat lintel

[neat lintel]

for the first one, it's x² and for the second one it's x²-1 which can be expressed as x²-1² then (x - 1)(x + 1) Then we can cancel out all the denominators after multiplying this with all the terms

@neat lintel btw you don't need to find least common denominator always to add or subtract two fractions

Okay tysmmm

@neat lintel do you know to add or subtract two fractions

[neat lintel]

[merry orbit]

@neat lintel is this the channel

[neat lintel]

yes

the advice of studying lang book , (basic mathematics) is correct

[merry orbit]

Ohh alrightt

[neat lintel]

but, as long you progress , you can find help of other people if you do math olympiad, along side studying the mathematics @vast surge gives you

[vast surge]

Math olympiad is one way to find community in mathematics, but not the only way.

[neat lintel]

there is AMC which have a lot of different levels

[vast surge]

Becoming good at "real math" will give you opportunities e.g. in summer programs like Ross and Promys, in things like MIT primes, etc.

[neat lintel]

yeah, but there it can be with other people with his same age

and if he is motivated he can progress faster

[vast surge]

So are the things I recommended

Like, I'm not dissing the IMO. It's good. It's impressive to solve some of those problems.

But it's not the only path to math.

Right now the kid is not ready to be considering it.

Based off of the age they said and the level of math they said they're at.

[neat lintel]

of course, but being with other people that can solve hard problems is encouraging

[vast surge]

Again; not only does he not know calculus, he doesn't know the prerequisites for calculus.

[neat lintel]

yeah, but is a good thing to know

[vast surge]

You're also assuming that this is something he has access to.

Which maybe he does, maybe he doesn't.

[neat lintel]

for example, what is better , learning a ton of material calculus etc
or develop his problem solving skills trough basic, math (aka IMO) so he can progress skill faster without too much material

[neat lintel]

yeah, sorry

[vast surge]

These are orthogonal skills. I don't think we can easily claim that one is better than the other.

[neat lintel]

ok , you could not learn geometry , but I dont think math Olympiad is below normal math

[neat lintel]

like saying is not real mathematics

[vast surge]

I meant real math as in, like, proof-based, university-and-above level math rather than tricky low-level problems

[neat lintel]

but imo is not just tricky low problems, you sometimes have to prove why the problems works.
but anyways, going into "real math" is a good advice, but is just like saying , start university early

[vast surge]

Right. I'm suggesting that he reads Lang.

A prerequisite for either of these things.

[neat lintel]

is like, check for the courses in a bachelor in math, and we will help you here

[neat lintel]

yeah, assuming he is 13 years old , (that could be not true) but anyways, I still think is a good idea to put study lang , a"lang"side (xD) with math olympiad problems

[vast surge]

Anyway I'm just saying the same thing over and over and you're not listening and just saying the same thing over and over and I'm not listening, and I have a class to run to.

[neat lintel]

lol, go to your class

[hardy iron]

They're still mostly gimmicky problems in my opinion, while exercises you might see in a higher proof-based math books often lead to a new core idea/concept or to reinforce the definitions or giving an example of how to apply a diverse theorem.

[neat lintel]

lol, why people on mathcord thinks Olympiad math is just tricky problems, yeah, some problems are tricky, but for understanding math you need a huge amount of examples you find in math olympiad
for example, number theory math olympiad gives you preparation for abstract algebra

[hardy iron]

number theory math olympiad gives you preparation for abstract algebra
?????

You can't just say that without an example

[hardy iron]

The only relevant thing I can think of is modular arithmetic

another relevant comp math topic is Cauchy Schwartz which can be generalized to vector forms with norms

[hybrid burrow]

i dont like proof with induction 😭

especially the ones with differentiation

or when it has the sun in a sequence

[jovial ember]

The sequence in question:

1,4,🌞,16,…

[neat lintel]

Quadratic reciprocity, you learn that if you are advanced in math olympiad
then you can understand that with abstract algebra

[hardy iron]

Yep that's modular arithmetic

[neat lintel]

but anyways, the point is that math olympiad is harder than the average university book and makes you stronger for problem solving

[hardy iron]

math olympiad is harder than the average university book
This is debatable as the difficulty isn't comparable

Beside that, university textbooks provide more insight into mathematics anyways

[neat lintel]

only if you specifically study pure math not general math

[hardy iron]

I don't see how comp math helps in general math

It'll help even less in applied stuff

[neat lintel]

bruh, literally it gives you a lot experience in knowing there is more math out there rather than calculus and linear algebra

[hardy iron]

???

[neat lintel]

for example , combinatorics math olympiad is just combinatorics in university level

[hardy iron]

You sound like you know nothing about uni level math

[hardy iron]

No???

[neat lintel]

I know math olympiad is sometimes blind
in the sense does not present math correctly
that's the difference , but Math olympiad along side "Real math" is good

[hardy iron]

Yes but saying that it's better than university level math is just untrue

[neat lintel]

you think people who do math olympiad (and are goot at it) dont study university level math?

[hardy iron]

or just this statement

[hardy iron]

I don't see the relevance of your message

[neat lintel]

ooohh, yeah yeah, I didnt intend saying that

university math is better

[hardy iron]

Seeing that you only view uni level math as only calculus and linear alg, your worldview is rather naive.

[neat lintel]

but when it gets more advanced is more fun and that takes a lot of time, in contrast to math olympiad , when it gets fun and can help in general math

[neat lintel]

mmmmh
it was an example , of the math in the first years

[neat lintel]

why not?

[hardy iron]

How exactly does it help in general math more than pure math like you claimed?

[neat lintel]

depends on the level.
for instance , a hard IMO problem is "reachable" in terms of material , and can offer a experience of hard problem solving (and there are a lot of problems).
but for having similar experiences in university math you have to learn a lot of material.

for example IMO 2024 problem 5, has literally no prerequisites , and still is hard

[neat lintel]

problem 5 is such a troll problem

"turbo the snail"

[neat lintel]

yesss

its not that hard but just so troll

[neat lintel]

is not hard to understand, but it makes you think and be creative

[neat lintel]

yes

and there are other examples

[hardy iron]

That sounds fun holy shit

[neat lintel]

i think one of my friends pursued arts and design instead of STEM because of that reason

[hardy iron]

It's gonna be a ridiculous low number like 5 isn't it

Don't spoil me I'll do it later

[neat lintel]

||is less|| dont open

[neat lintel]

its just that the text is so long

sent to wrong server

[hardy iron]

Sure it helps with your problem solving skills, but does it help with mathematical maturity / reasoning abilities / understanding definitions?

[neat lintel]

sure

[hardy iron]

I don't think it helps with that as much as a

[neat lintel]

i solved my first IMO problem by myself when i was 12

[neat lintel]

obviously not, math olympiad is for high schoolers

[hardy iron]

does

[neat lintel]

but you can start sooner

[neat lintel]

yes

[hardy iron]

Gifted/advanced high schooler can also access university level materials

It's just that it's more useful if you wanted to pursue higher education related to mathematics

[neat lintel]

yeah of course, but is not the same, math olympiad is like a game
tell a lonely kid to complete rudin's and hope he will do

[neat lintel]

meh, sometimes it has math topics similar to undergrad and postgrad topics

like vietta jumping

[hardy iron]

Yeah, so what's your point again?

[neat lintel]

basically , I see that people here say: "math olympiad is not real math" maybe it isn't but is a really good introduction to math for high schoolers

[hardy iron]

Oh this was your main point I think

[hardy iron]

It is certainly real math but its field of applications isn't as wide as uni level (for definition of applications that make sense)

[neat lintel]

yeah, also based on my experience, a the guy who won gold medal at a national math olympiad, also knew category theory, and abstract algebra lol , so when you get into that you met other people interested in math in your country

[neat lintel]

wait , what do you mean for applications?

[hardy iron]

How old was he?

[neat lintel]

17 lol

[hardy iron]

Applying it to other areas of math or real life

[neat lintel]

it certainly has applications into math itself, into real life is not needed xD

[hardy iron]

I know a 17 year old that does alg geo but a 17 year old category theorist is something else

[hardy iron]

My point is that university math is more applicable than comp math

[neat lintel]

bruuh , he is peter scholze

[hardy iron]

That explains a lot

[neat lintel]

yeah, I learnt by my self university math before discovering math olympiad, but math olympiad was more fun

[hardy iron]

Goodnight!

[neat lintel]

good morning lol

[hardy iron]

I discovered comp math first but I don't feel anything from doing it so I moved to textbooks

[neat lintel]

you are in the other side of the other planet

[hardy iron]

Yeah it's 21:38 right now

[neat lintel]

xD

[hardy iron]

Night night sleep tight don't let me bite!

[neat lintel]

a

[ashen basin]

I had my maths exam

I was so bad in one part

I have been feeling so dumb the whole day

[neat lintel]

how's called the guy in your profile picture?

[ashen basin]

Jordan Peterson

[neat lintel]

that's guy..
i was thinking in peter jhonnson

lol

[neat lintel]

watch his videos telling you to not feel bad and get a dopamine realese that will let you addicted to his multimedia content

[steel vessel]

dopamine realese t

[neat lintel]

how to you succefully achieve a dopamine realese?

[steel vessel]

complete a difficult task

[neat lintel]

mmmmmh, like a NP-hard taks?

[steel vessel]

what is NP-hard task

[neat lintel]

you dont know what is NP-hardness?

[steel vessel]

no

if i did, i wouldnt have asked

[neat lintel]

then study (jk)

not here it is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NP-hardness

Is when a task is hard

[surreal sapphire]

it doesnt even really make sense to mention NP hardness in this context

[neat lintel]

it was a very bad joke

[neat lintel]

since I am not professional clown

[surreal sapphire]

fair

[vestal cloud]

Hi, our project for this semester is do a really simple math investigation, at first, my idea is all about sigma notation but my idea is debunked, so idk what topic or things i would do

Simple one would do like adding prime number and investigate if there's something there

[surreal sapphire]

you should ask your teacher about that

[neat lintel]

Sigma notation vs virgin notation
Sigma algebra vs virgin algebra

[thick depot]

What’s your year? High school? College?

[vast wraith]

it’s another day of sitting at uni until 8 pm and… getting absolutely no math done

[twin turtle]

Good morning folks. A beginner to mathematics here, I share a common parable, didn't do maths in high school and eventually quit it completely to pursue software development, but recently re-discovered how important math is to really understand the algorithms and be able to even share the same table with smarter folks.

So I've developed a "curriculum" for myself -- I'll dedicate 1-2 hours daily outside of my main work to studying maths from the ground up.

1. Re-learn and develop the mathematical base from the ground up
   • Khan Academey beginner courses (from 8th standard I am planning)
   • Eynt Ace Math In One Big Fat Notebook (https://www.amazon.in/Everything-You-Need-Math-Notebook/dp/0761160965)
2. Practice my weakest and possibily the most important parts of maths for me -- Linear Algebra
   • I'll find out a good workbook with solved questions and work my way through that

After this point it is really ambiguous on how I should proceed, since my goal with maths is to understand the papers and algorithms deeper, and be able to rationally make sense of them (eg what does the quadratic formula REALLY mean?)

I appreciate ANY advice from y'all, it really helps to get some input for folks smarter and further along this journey than myself.

@limber thunder

I see, that makes sense actually -- like with all languages you get more fluent at them with practice, e.g. solving math problems or talking about math to other people, like when you explain a proof

Yeah, exactly. So many fields of maths are really fascinating to me, but I can't get through the "gate" of understanding the obscure greek symbols

[limber thunder]

(continuing from #discussion message ) if your goal is to overall understand math better it's just a matter of getting more "fluent" in the language, some people and books call that gaining some level of mathematical maturity, and again this can only be done by studying a bunch

[twin turtle]

Right, so the baseline here is hard ass work -- practicing and working with a lot of problems

[limber thunder]

I guess a first barrier is in understanding the symbols of the language and then internalizing their meaning yes

when I've taught e.g. uni freshmen or HS kids I try to be as verbose as possible, so for instance you could read the formulae out loud

[twin turtle]

So for now, the next 6 months or so, I will just focus on high shcool maths and working my way through the pre-calculus textbook (Eynt Ace Math In One Big Fat Notebk)

[limber thunder]

but in the case of stuff like quadratic functions the "meaning" isn't just in the words, but in geometrical properties of these functions

[twin turtle]

Wow yeah, what you do is really helpful because often when I encounter equations, even simple ones in CS textbooks, I try to write them out in english, to see what they really mean (or sometimes as code)

[twin turtle]

So I was watching a video by veritasium and it is described how geomtery and maths are harmonious in the way they represent each other

[limber thunder]

and a recurring theme in maths is that you can think of certain objects in many different ways, for instance if you want to picture the zeros/roots of some quadratic function you can think of that problem 1) symbolically/algebraically, by deducing some formula that the roots should verify, 2) geometrically, by knowing that the roots are the points where the graph touches the x-axis, etc.

[limber thunder]

which is maybe what this video was about yes

visualization helps a ton

[twin turtle]

Indeed it really does

My day job doesn't relate to maths at all, it is all about developing consumer software

but again, I am selling myself short by not knowing mathematics -- quant, machine learning, graphics programming so much I am missing out on because "I don't know math"

[limber thunder]

right I could see why you'd want to learn linear algebra then

[twin turtle]

Okay, so @limber thunder I won't be taking any more of your time. Much respect for helping me out through this. Just as a final concluding note

I will work my way up to pre-calculus levels of mathematics so a lot of geometry and linear algebra. Much of my self-study is going be done through the Everything you need to know textbook -- I'll get a supplementary solved workbook to expose myself to even more questions and problems.

Would you say this is fine given my lack of "comfort" and math skills after 10th grade basically

[jagged forge]

i'm a software engineer and i probably get to do more math than most (a teeny tiny bit of financial math, relational algebra for databases, and graph theory 1 or 2 times) and i feel like it's not enough

[limber thunder]

no prob and wish you the best, that sounds like a good plan if you're not 100% comfortable with HS maths yet

Khan Academy is a good resource in my experience, and the book is probably a good summary of the necessary stuff

[twin turtle]

Thank you so much. Discord's best part is -- someone like me gets to pick at the brain of smarter people than myself. One thing my mother used to say that has stuck with me, "Maths is like a muscle, if you don't work it out regularly, you will lose it"

To be fair that was me not doing my homework

[twin turtle]

Okay, so I will use it as a supplementary in-case I need further clarifactions or some helpful visualizations

[limber thunder]

I don't know whether you plan to pick a linear algebra book with proofs or not, but in case you do I recommend Hammack's Book of Proof as well, honestly it made proofs click on me when I first started getting serious about math myself https://www.people.vcu.edu/~rhammack/BookOfProof/

either way the first few chapters on sets, logic and combinatorics (or counting) are great

[pulsar pagoda]

agreed

[twin turtle]

I was looking at this book https://www.amazon.in/Algebra-Essentials-Practice-Workbook-Answers/dp/1453661387 I am really unaware. There is this channel on youtube called Math Sorceror don't know if you know it, but he suggested using this book.

[pulsar pagoda]

LADR is free btw @limber thunder

[limber thunder]

I know that channel, I think his book recs are usually good

[limber thunder]

true, the latest ed is

[twin turtle]

But skimming through the index of this one, it does seem really approachable with the fundamentals, how to prove statements

[pulsar pagoda]

math sorceror is good

he is cracked

[limber thunder]

what strikes me most is like, he's a really sincere and down-to-earth dude lol

[twin turtle]

Yeah, this whole "craze" was through this video of his -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHw8ReqH968

[pulsar pagoda]

hammack will help u get the fundamentals

[limber thunder]

I've followed his channel for years

[twin turtle]

It really shows the beauty of the age we live in -- I am literally getting advice from such smart people, from the comfort of my home! fascinating and I hope to give back in any way I can

+1 for that, I've added this book to my excel sheet, and I'll first slowly work my way through the pre-algebra book, and then delve into problems and eventually this. Anyway. @limber thunder @pulsar pagoda all of you -- thank for the help and advice. I'll get back to my work, and will self-study in the evening. I hope you all have an awesome day ahead, cheers

[limber thunder]

no prob, glad to help

wut

[delicate light]

can someone please help me with my algebra class im 12 classes behind and really want to graduate it’s a 12 answer test

[sage mulch]

youre 12 classes behind

you could start by catching up

[delicate light]

I know I’m trying but I’m stuck a test sadly

that’s why I’m asking for help lol

[sage mulch]

wym "stuck a test"

[delicate light]

I’m stuck on a quiz.

[sage mulch]

..you're mid-quiz?

[delicate light]

I have like credit recovery classes

and I need to finish it by this year to graduate

I am a senior

[sage mulch]

are you mid quiz rn

[delicate light]

yea

[sage mulch]

then we can't help u

come back after ur quiz

[delicate light]

Wdym ?

wait why

[sage mulch]

#rules

Do not cheat on tests or exams. Do not be academically dishonest. Do not offer money for doing homework assignments, and vice versa.

[delicate light]

ohhh it’s not like

a actual test

it’s just to make up my credits

[leaden torrent]

still sounds like cheating to ask here

[delicate light]

even if I already failed it?

[leaden torrent]

if it's being graded and does not allow outside collaboration, then yes

[delicate light]

well my teacher allows us to work in groups to do it

it’s a credit recovery class so as long as we finish it I’m okay

it’s not a actual class

[pure cliff]

So is everyone else

[proud kettle]

I'm looking for inspiration for optimal algorithms for minimum steiner tree problems. (around 3000 terminals)

[pulsar pagoda]

are terminals here what is understood as a terminal in the computation/compiler theory jarong?

[proud kettle]

A terminal is a node which needs to be part of the solution tree.

[pulsar pagoda]

ehh

djikstra?

mmm

nahh it apparently doesnt work here

[quaint cipher]

what does this notation mean? the dot product of the gradient and.....a vector?

[solid snow]

yes

both of those are vectors

[quaint cipher]

what does v represent?

[bronze pelican]

Direction

[deep mango]

Its telling you how much f changes in the direction of v

If you try looking at (f(x + hv) - f(x))/h

And look at the limit

Thats what youll get

You can imagine moving in just the v direction and seeing the slope there

So for example, if f looks like a hill, then in directions v going up the hill, v dot grad f is positive. In directions v going down the hill, v dot grad f is negative. And in directions v going around the hill, there's no change in height, so v dot grad f is 0.

[quaint cipher]

sounds like df in single var

[deep mango]

Exactly

In single variable calc df is kinda silly seeming, since we only have 2 directions to go in and one is the negative of the other

But in multivariable calc its a lot more important

Notice that if v is one of the coordinate vectors like (1, 0) or (0, 1, 0) or whatever

Then v dot grad f just gives you the partial derivative of f in that direction

So now we get the "partial derivatives" of f in every direction. Sometimes these are called directional derivatives

[young widget]

All this shenanigans started because of a stupid apple

[old oak]

Yeah, Adam & Eve have a lot to answer for

[young widget]

I was talking about the Newton dude

[old oak]

Nevertheless

[quaint cipher]

so this dot product is basically the directional derivatives?

[solar hawk]

Ryc pulling out the explanation of a life time out of nowhere

It’s giving Dami fr

[deep mango]

Yes. Remember the dot product tells you how much 2 vectors align

The gradient is the direction of steepest increase of f

So if v and the gradient align, v dot grad f is very positive

The less they align, the more negative it gets. When theyre perpendicular, the dot product is 0 and youre moving perpendicular to the direction f is growing (the direction where f is level)

[quaint cipher]

Wonderful. Tysm

[deep mango]

Dont compare me to that stinker

[solar hawk]

Damn

[twin turtle]

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but here goes

Since I discovered the internet, the ocean of the knowledge it presented was so vast — just by tipping my toes into it I was considered smart and knowledgeable, would always have something to quip about history, physics, science or whatever other factors (credit to Vsauce, Vertasium, Vsauce2!!, numberphile and so so many more) my father also gifted me encyclopedias and they were always a great way to spend my leasiure time

As time goes — my attention got divided into my job and I find myself spending time still watching these videos which are a source of fascination, but now I want to go deeper into a subject — I just watched a video about the Punic war, and I really want to learning it in a deeper way; this happens a lot, with cosmological horrors or obscure math concepts and everything in between; I just don’t know how I should manage my time and go about learning a topic in a “deeper” more meaningful way than having just watched a YouTube video. I want to evolve my learning process as a child, to a deeper and something more significant — if that makes sense

Sorry if this is a bit oddly worded, I really want to communicate how MUCH I want to learn something deeper and be able to share / converse about it with others (I love talking about the stuff I learn)

The harsh reality to me appears I CANT do that because I have my main focus (software) along with side-projects and some math related self study. Looking for advice on this matter

PS — to further add to the list of interesting ideas I would like to learn about; linguistics, sociology, theology, pre-history, marine biology (it’s so alien!), philosophy?, computer theory and heck so much more

[sturdy gulch]

hello discussion 2

[obsidian pollen]

So yeah it is pretty much possible to prove that this

No it's possible, n × j, n•n (n)(j) nj

Is all true and can work

[sturdy gulch]

im thinking of how you could do it though

maybe.. composition acts like a kind of gravitator and pulls stuff together

so like, maybe it takes enemies and sticks them together, or for projectiles, merges them and tosses them back at an enemy or smth

idk im spitballing

[obsidian pollen]

That's pretty interesting yeah, I'm not downing it. just hope it's not too abstract in any way

[obsidian pollen]

What happens if you have 4 sides of equivalence that makes a cross and use that to negate or answer enemies in reach lol

[sturdy gulch]

i mean this is all a little vague without enemy or attack concepts

but

that does sound good too

[obsidian pollen]

I did make some also can you tell me if this way of battle is so wrong

[sturdy gulch]

i mean there's no wrong way of making a game

[obsidian pollen]

@sturdy gulch is it not too silly if using 2D silhouettes of numbers could effect the length of the 2D shadow of an object that disrupts their structure collapsing in on itself? Not to be too technical but what do you feel would be the best approach or idea?

[sturdy gulch]

not sure what you're talking about here but

i dont know

like

is this the equivalent of just your regular weapon or smth

[obsidian pollen]

I thought of it more as a missing side of a variable with an inequalities of greater then or less

x ≥ 15
x ≤ 17

Simple Arithmetics but you fill it up with the shuriken in place

[tawdry pecan]

[stuck moat]

i have a question

given the implication:
a = 2 -> a^2=4

a^2=4 is called a "necessary condition"

is it called necessary because it's a necessary condition for a to be equal to 2
OR
is it called necessary because it is necessary to happen should a be equal to 2

[burnt dune]

i lost like 3 points in my discrete math course from 4 years ago

cuz of this shit

"necessary and sufficient"

"sufficient only"

XD

..

[stuck moat]

i genuinely hate the wording

[burnt dune]

yeah me too

i have been reading alot of math textbooks fro the past like

7 years

i haven't seen these words except like

5 times

it's useless honestly imo

[stuck moat]

the necessary condition B is clearly not necessary for condition A to be true

a can and doesn't have to be two

[jagged forge]

these mean the same thing

[stuck moat]

A ... i'm driving
B ... i'm sitting

A -> B

B is not a necessary condition to cause A to be true, i could just be sitting on a chair

[agile fiber]

it's necessary that a^2 = 4 for a = 2

it's sufficient that a = 2 for a^2 = 4

it's necessary and sufficient that a = 2 for a^3 = 8 (given that a is real)

[solid snow]

but if you were to be driving, you would be sitting

this is why it’s called a necessary condition

think of it as “for y to be true, x has to be true, but x by itself isn’t enough to show that y is true”

[jagged forge]

ok i understand, my bad
it's necessary for A to happen should B be true

[solid snow]

i.e if animal = cat then this animal is a mammal. being a cat is a sufficient condition for an animal being a mammal and being a mammal is a necessary condition for an animal being a cat

[stuck moat]

but if B is true (a^2=4)
why is it necessary for a=2

it's like the terms are swapped

[solid snow]

it’s necessary that if a = 2 that a^2 = 4

you have the wording mixed up

but circling back to what moamen said, this exact wording verbatim shouldnt be too much of a concern as long as you understand the difference between

1. X being enough to show Y
2. For Y to be true, X has to be true

[stuck moat]

i dont think point (2) stands

[solid snow]

to give another concrete example. from calculus we know that convergent series need to have the limit of a_n be 0. but this itself is not enough to show that a series is convergent

[stuck moat]

in logical implications, Y can be true and X can be false

[solid snow]

i mean, did the examples not illustrate the difference?

in order to be a cat, you have to be a mammal. but being something being a mammal isn’t enough to say that something is a cat

[stuck moat]

no i completely understand you, and the examples illustrate it best

but i'm just afraid of coming to an exam and being presented with two statements and having to put them in an implication and screwing up

statements as in mathematical ones

[solid snow]

in that case, just try to memorize the order then. in practice, you’ll get accustomed to the distinction without explicitly saying “necessary” or “sufficient” all that often

[stuck moat]

i've come up with a cue i'll try to hold with

Can B be false, given that A is true?

honestly seems like the best thing i have for testing whether or not i've set up the sides correctly

Can a^2=4 be false given that a=2 is true? No.
That means that an implication a=2 -> a^2=4 is correctly set up

Guys is there a scientist or someone whos working with phisics i got a question.
What will happen if we emit amplified resonance frequency of a electron ?

Is it possible it will explode ? 😅💀
Na fr if someone knows answer drop by ping me say it please.

[ocean harbor]

#❓how-to-get-help or #probability-statistics

[ocean harbor]

I'm not studying physics or scientist but it is probably gonna explode

[neat lintel]

Are you sure ???? 🤔

[ocean harbor]

if you want try it lol

[granite crag]

do electrons even have resonance frequencies? what degrees of motion do they even have?

[neat lintel]

Btw im not expert.
But i quick google searched it and its saying its 28 Ghz or something 💀
Which for me is WOW

[granite crag]

explode into what? a gamma ray?

[ocean harbor]

idk

[granite crag]

I don't think fundamental particles can have resonance frequencies

[neat lintel]

Why not ?

[granite crag]

protons and neutrons probably can because they're made of quarks, but I'm not sure about electrons

[granite crag]

resonance implies internal motion afaik

[neat lintel]

Hmmm

But

Dont they move ?

[granite crag]

there aren't any components inside an electron that can move

[neat lintel]

I mean in books in schools they teach they move.
Current going from + to -

Then some time later i found out they go backwards - to +
....

[neat lintel]

🤔

[granite crag]

resonance is an internal thing

when you hit a resonance frequency of a bridge, the individual pieces of the bridge are moving relative to each other

[neat lintel]

Like they can move again and again in same states ??

[granite crag]

when you hit a resonance frequency of a molecule, the individual atoms are moving relative to each other

if you hit a resonance frequency of proton, I imagine the individual up and down quarks start moving relative to each other

there's no smaller components of an electron that can move relative to each other though

it's a fundamental particle

[neat lintel]

Well. How about this Can we do the trick with the glass. Amplified resonance frequency sound will break the glass right ?

Can that work in space ?
More specifically in vacuum

[granite crag]

yes because the individual pieces of glass are moving relative to each other

you're giving one piece momentum in one direction and another piece momentum in the opposite direction

eventually the pieces have enough momentum to break their bonds between each other

[neat lintel]

Can it work in vacuum ?

[granite crag]

I'm not understanding

there's no internal degrees of motion inside an electron

is what I'm saying

that doesn't change in a vacuum

[neat lintel]

Well i see it like
How we amplify or how we make the same resonance frequency

I see it as like this
We use speakers
And those do something with the air waves and we have sound.

Heres the thing in space we dont have sound.
So that changes somethings. For me

[neat lintel]

Uhmm what is internal degree of motion ? In electron ?

[burnt ledge]

this isnt a resonance frequency, its the energy difference of the two spin states of a free electron in a magnetic field of strength one tesla

[granite crag]

there isn't one in an electron, that's my point

[neat lintel]

Hmmmm.... okay.
But what other particles in that universe exist ?
That have resonance frequency ?
U said photon? If i remember right ?

[neat lintel]

Vibrational motion

Hmm

[granite crag]

This is the standard model

[granite crag]

Resonance requires vibrational motion which electrons don’t have

[neat lintel]

And google says this
The electron is described by a probabilistic quantum wavefunction, which spreads out through space and vibrates, but in such a way that it still has certain discrete properties such as mass

What about other particles ?

[neat lintel]

Ye i dont understand this. Sorry

[granite crag]

None of the particles on that list can exhibit vibrational motion afaik. Ergo, no resonance frequencies

[neat lintel]

Ooh

[granite crag]

I’m not sure how the wave function is relevant

[neat lintel]

Hmmm......

I just want to know is it possible to move a electron ?
via its own resonance frequency ?
Like extremely move it like idk sooo much move it

[granite crag]

Do you see how in the picture vibrational motion occurs when you have multiple things connecting together? Well if you have just have one thing then there’s no vibrational motion

[granite crag]

It can move translationally, and it can “rotate” since it has spin, but it can’t vibrate

[raven plaza]

Do excitation states count as "resonance frequencies of electrons"

[granite crag]

The excitation states are properties of atoms not individual electrons afaik

[neat lintel]

But how can a ball move and not vibrate ? Hows that possible ?

[raven plaza]

Yea like electron wave in atom

[neat lintel]

Or can it ?
But via extreme power ?

[granite crag]

I would call it a resonance frequency of the atom probably

[neat lintel]

Aw...

[neat lintel]

Wait. So atom got a resonance frequency now .?

[granite crag]

The same way I can walk down the street without shaking my butt

[neat lintel]

Also

Nvm ig electrons are fast af....

[raven plaza]

Does your butt not shake when walking

[neat lintel]

But is photons faster then electrons ?

[granite crag]

Hmmm, fair point

I can slide or skate without it shaking though

[neat lintel]

Wait so when electrons are going really really fast.
And suddenly stop in somewhere. Do they oscillate back and forth while loosing energy and wait and stay there ?

[granite crag]

I have no idea

[neat lintel]

When u skate
And suddenly something stops u
Doesnt ur butt in slow motion go forth and backwards .?

I mean. Can we artificially make a resonance frequency ? 🤔

[granite crag]

Human bodies can be broken down into smaller components

Electrons cannot

[neat lintel]

Quantum world 👾

[granite crag]

Vibration is when those smaller components move relative to each other

[neat lintel]

Isnt the electrons or any other particles in that world made out of more smaller things ?
More smaller thing quantum things ?
More more smaller things.?

Hang on

https://youtube.com/shorts/9cExml-ue4E?si=TjECfg4T1FQWOBxh

Nvm ig i got wrong path...

I was thinking that electrons are made out of more smaller things

[granite crag]

According to string theory electrons can be broken down into strings, but there’s no experimental evidence for string theory. As far as we know electrons can’t be broken down into anything

[granite crag]

As far as we know fundamental particles are the smallest you can go

[neat lintel]

Anyways

But

Butt

Does the blood have resonance frequency ?

🤔

@granite crag

[granite crag]

Idk probably it’s not a fundamental particle

[neat lintel]

💀

Soo.....

[neat lintel]

What particles does blood have ?

[granite crag]

Uhhh a lot?

Cells are way bigger than electrons

[neat lintel]

I mean like which kind of "cells" or blood cells are there existing. ?

Or is there only 1 ?

For example for 1 person

[granite crag]

Well there’s red blood cells and white blood cells

I don’t really know all the different ones I’m not a biologist

[neat lintel]

Google says
There are 3 types of blood cells – red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) carry oxygen to all cells in the body. The oxygen is carried to cells on a protein in red blood cells (called hemoglobin). Hemoglobin is what makes the blood red.

Thats bad news and good news...

What i mean is

Can we amplify 3 cells resonance frequency and make them explode ? 💀💀💀

guys how to know when to use limit comparison test vs direct comparison test

[limber thunder]

you go with whichever one is easier. Limit comparison is for when one series' terms grow faster than the other asymptotically, e.g. if they contain polynomial terms of different order or if one of them is (super-)exponential while the other is not, while direct comparison is for when you have an inequality between the terms

youre welcome to keep quiet about it if you believe so, and you should

[limber thunder]

of course they were, the warning (and yes it's a formal warning, so stop it) is about the contents of the comment specifically.

calling others' math interests "autistic" as an insult and then going on to say that their condition is their whole personality is very much harassment

im going to throw a brick at aforementioned people (my lawyer advises me to say this is a joke)

[fresh comet]

wow, throwing a brick at me too

[small dust]

me everyday in this server

[limber thunder]

I mean a good lawyer would advise to not say that at all

[fresh comet]

suremark has a bad lawyer then

[fresh comet]

[white temple]

honestly i understand why many women have the opinions they do on men because goddamn some guys just Say Shit with no thought put into it and that's gotta suck worse than i can imagine in heteronormative society

if i were a woman i'd be weary of many men as well like people just Say Shit man

i'm horrible at putting myself in another's shoes but if i can get this far in the process then things are just weird

[small dust]

even worse this happens to me SEVERAL TIMES EVERYDAY JUST IN THIS SERVER ALONE

and i'm not exaggerating that at all, some of you witness it

[white temple]

good lord that's so fucked that my brain just doesn't fully understand how to fully sympathize with it because it just can't comprehend the idea of shit being like that to that degree

genuinely unhinged

[fresh comet]

I do wonder how you put up with these things on a day to day basis

[vivid halo]

through the great power of dissociation

[limber thunder]

yeah, I'll never understand how some dudes feel compelled to, and even justified in catcalling women who dont even fw them its insane

but you named it, heteronormativity and all

its normalized and will be unless theyre called out on it

[vivid halo]

men: casually sexually harasses women
me: idk man even saying hello is kinda spooky

[small dust]

at least in here it's not completely 100% unhinged like when people dm me instead

[white temple]

this mf dm'ed me told me to "be careful" he think he liam neeson from taken

[vivid halo]

HAHAHAHA

[limber thunder]

you can report that to @polar panther

[fresh comet]

this but unironically

at least in person

even online it’s hard to say things sometimes

[solid snow]

send ss to modmail

[white temple]

done

[dull ermine]

as a girl, ima give my opinion on this but like this is just a next level disgusting tbh like why would you harass someone js because of a pfp? like tf?

[small dust]

you'd think that would be a universal opinion

[white temple]

he elaborated saying it was her "profile bio picture" (i guess the picture of the person with the analysis book) but i wasn't dealing with all that

[dull ermine]

no, not a universal opinion, but im just giving an opinion from a girl herself.

you may take it anyway you want but this is not meant to bring harm or to hate on others

[small dust]

i just meant like it should be a universal opinion

[dull ermine]

ohhh yea it should tbh

[solid snow]

one of the thoughts in the back of my head in regards to this sort of behavior is "their poor mother"

[small dust]

it's a little bit seductive but not sexual lol

[latent edge]

hey what's up shawty

[latent edge]

higher secretly a drama seeker

he's even in bruhat tits building server

[fresh comet]

if that was the case, I would just start more drama myself

[small dust]

who doesn't love drama

[dull ermine]

yea we love some tea yk?

[latent edge]

No that will dethrone you amirit

[small dust]

i start the drama just by existing

[worldly quest]

hi

[vast wraith]

rocking that mathematical seductiveness mwahahaha

[small dust]

that is my aesthetic

[neat lintel]

are study groups ineffective but if you’re struggling in a class and if you have classmates who can help you out and you can help them out is it not worth it? what if your struggle is 100x worse without the assistance of your peers

[solid snow]

they aren’t ineffective for the reasons you just described

just make sure its ok with prof

[neat lintel]

yea it’s okay we’re not cheating off of each other just helping each other understand

im thinking it works best when u work in advance because then you’ll realize your weaknesses

[solid snow]

just be very sure since some profs do not like that either

[neat lintel]

my prof sucks so idt he’s against it

for this coming exam im lost as hell

two exams multi car calc and physics

i just need to make sure my mind doesn’t go blank

var *

need to study

my conceptual understanding is poor

[neat lintel]

he said we should consult our classmates for assistance or him

[remote remnant]

does any one got some second degree equations (Quadratic Equation) exercises?

[granite crag]

@gusty socket @plain island so can I get my help channel reopened?

[plain island]

i can't reopen it

[granite crag]

F

[plain island]

if you want to open one, show some progress you've made on solving the problem in the last 18 hours

[granite crag]

I apologize for the inactivity in the help channel. I wasn't really sure the right way to approach it so I was hoping someone might give me some pointers. After thinking about it I have a couple ideas and I'll try to explore them a bit before reopening.

[sturdy gulch]

i know i am not the most intelligent creature of all time but DAMN this question fucked me up 😭

it took me so long to finish this one

[neat lintel]

What's the answer. I'm thinking 1.000.

Actually 500

[sturdy gulch]

you're gonna have to math it out yourself, but hint: it is a factor of both of those

[neat lintel]

Nah i just guessed based on pure intuition. I'm bouta sleep 😴

[vivid halo]

Is it 2

[sturdy gulch]

unfortunately not

it's like my second ever diophantine equation so i probably fucked up somewhere and made it take like 2 hours more... but.. we ball? 💀

[static loom]

I'm getting 0 solutions

but I didn't check my work lol

[latent edge]

[static loom]

I just wrote it out and checked that the discriminant was irrational
