[cinder zephyr]

discrete math 2 is interesting

We only had the one course at my UG

[wooden falcon]

I like to think I’m applied because I apply stuff to sciences and like, I did two sciences.

But my friends insist I’m pure 😭

[latent edge]

Yeah we have one intro to proofs (awful) 2 discrete math and one correctness of algorithms

[wooden falcon]

one friend said that I’m pure because I was interested in algebraic geometry and cat theory

haskell also has a reputation

[latent edge]

I think I consider myself pure

Like most people know I avoid applied like the plague

[wooden falcon]

I think they’re all wrong though

These classifications are ill defined social constructs whose underlying decision making procedure is vibes

Sometimes people clearly fit the vibes

and other times, it’s gray area

[jaunty ibex]

I applied to do a masters in number theory but it was too competitive

Now I'm doing enumerative geometry

It's great but I would love to do number theory in the future

[unborn meteor]

thanks!

[viral condor]

hello

[lone drum]

Guys

Idk what I should make my username :(

I want mines to be japanese

And term for night

But most them are used

And idk what to do

[silent junco]

in latex this really sucks because of spacing

$\forall x.\forall y. p(x,y)$

[fathom swallow]

rays

[silent junco]

its just so ugly

[wide niche]

Try Korean for night?

[torpid bay]

the 25th bam

[silent junco]

parentheses are more confusing though so i agree

but like it could be a problem if you had something like uh $\forall x.\forall y<0. 1<xy$

Hi

How are you?

[warm lance]

how hi are you

[frank orchid]

When I practiced handwriting on my left hand...I felt like I didn't have the muscles to be precise is that just how fine motor skills work or...

[true wedge]

Yes

[wooden falcon]

Queries:
How well can people here read (print) handwriting?

How well can you read cursive?

How quickly can you read compared to talking?

[hollow ginkgo]

I never have trouble with print. I always have trouble with cursive.

[silent junco]

i read quicker than talking depending on the handwriting, i wouldnt say theres a difference between reading print and cursive for me

[azure sleet]

1. Depending on the readability of their handwriting, but I suck at handwriting.
2. Not that well as cursive writings are typically slanted.
3. I am a slow reader, but at least my reading speed is a bit quicker than my speech rate while I can talk real quick only when I am anxious as I can barely make eye contact.

[placid scaffold]

sup guys

[latent edge]

Did anyone hurt you?

Ok Billie

[jaunty ibex]

All homies hate applied

[willow crystal]

There is though?

[crystal rampart]

@bread if f is continuous on [a,b] and f(an) converges and an is bounded does an converge

Highly agree

[jaunty ibex]

@latent edge what are u up for in this late hour

[jaunty ibex]

Of course

[agile fiber]

i can read my own handwriting with some effort

[fresh comet]

I can read others’ print handwriting perfectly fine.

with cursive, I struggle a lot, except for a close friend’s writing.

I talk pretty fast, and I’m not a very fast reader, so I doubt I read much quicker than my speaking pace

[jaunty ibex]

I am good at reading cursive and my handwriting is okay. I talk faster than I read

[jaunty ibex]

For some reason I'm more interested in what this is now

[latent edge]

based

[flat harbor]

i think i write better on a blackboard than on paper

@lament peak how would u compare

oh have u never seen my handwriting

ill send smth later

[proven knoll]

Without subtitles, my reading speed is moderate/fast
With subtitles + audio, my reading speed gets faster
i'd say that my subtitles reading speed are 4x/5x my talking speed

Thank you everyone last night and this morning for your experimental data. It is interesting to just sample answers to these questions.

[reef carbon]

ayo @sick parrot

can you explain what this is supposed to mean

[sick parrot]

you just rotate them

its unironically so trivial

[reef carbon]

sorry, rotate what?

i have no idea what you're talking about

[sick parrot]

the imageon

[reef carbon]

what image??

dude can you please just explain wtf you meant by "you are literally AI if you rearrange the letters"

what letters? in what word? rearrange how?

[sick parrot]

its just like the fibonacci sequence

but with letters instead of numbers

[reef carbon]

ok thanks for refusing to answer my questions clearly ig lmao

[sick parrot]

yw

[crimson turret]

its fibonacci sequence what dont you understand?!?!?!

(tbh idk what they mean either)

[hollow ginkgo]

I think he’s just trolling

[sick parrot]

Your genius rivals the likes of Euler, Gauss, Newton etc etc

[tawdry cloak]

anyone would like to discuss one ques with me

[wise parrot]

Yes

[tawdry cloak]

i posted in #math-discussion see once

[wise parrot]

Too simple for me

[tawdry cloak]

umm u can solve? just check my soln once

[neat lintel]

I see what Banana was trying to say. Its so obvious..... 5... Maybe 6?

[sick parrot]

im glad to see someone appreciates my mindboggling intelligience

[frigid field]

The discussion of looking at James Clerk Max-well as a french revolution follow-up simplified "law of air refraction" like take publishing account of slim shady for science person for public education models of nature book coining, while their colleagues would use something both more complicated and with different and varied natural intuitions for practical high tech research border development ...

[solid snow]

https://tenor.com/view/bills-ugh-gif-9811803164280522639

[frigid field]

... what they would give for public education out of a lucrative trade secrets world including high practical quality models of practical nature

the max-well equations take ...

has to be good enough to educate kids close enough to industry and higher high tech understanding needs

but would not betray trade secret quality practical models

in this line of thought how much earlier was a general relativity like simplified model already known to science peers at the top

[neat lintel]

"The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent" - SunTzu

[frigid field]

natural growing double standards out of trade secrets high tech world

[solid snow]

im sorry, are you saying james maxwell and peers gave a dumbed down version of electromagnetism to not divulge trade secrets?

[frigid field]

they must have cared about that alot too

[solid snow]

uh why do you believe so

[frigid field]

today science seems to be like from an imperial mafia dogmatic line, meaning like french revolution "meter" science empire

like a "bell system mafia empire" with capital at like Sorbona and origins around the french revolution times

[solid snow]

that doesnt answer my question

at all

[frigid field]

they seem to have some Maximilien Robespierre (rob et sper, slave and hope) style sharper mafia attitude habits, the devil details while overall insisting so much on solidly good things

[fresh comet]

[frigid field]

machiavellianism patterns

[atomic crypt]

Have you looked into a schizophrenia diagnosis?

[frigid field]

that mafia empire at the very top of civilization is likely keeping the modern world much stabler, with their top of human civilization mature way take, communism seems to be one of their kids, and most practical capitalism their kid or kids too

the kids look like social experiment like takes in some bitchy background like situations, like if they would ponder that many would deserve cold jail to cool hell down ... what take at red communism ...

[fresh comet]

[frigid field]

I would suspect they already have a good unification model for quantum mechanics and general relativity worlds, maybe more than one good model, mind how some simplified models are easier to use in some distinct practical areas, what they have more solidly connected all the way is likely more complicated too

they seem to delay a very good space telescope for some practical devil detail in sight with a maximilien robespierre irony feel society game

[fresh comet]

I’m really sorry, but I have no idea what you’re talking about, my friend

I’m not exactly sure others understand either

[jagged forge]

feels like i met someone on the server like this before

[warm umbra]

I think we will be good friends

I like to say stuff without context all the time

[frigid field]

could be an anti copy-cat strategy philosophy at the top of the imperial technical civilization group that pondered very powerful space telescopes way under other development priorities

[warm umbra]

I know you typed that out bro

Don’t deny

[torpid bay]

[frigid field]

I write a geometric like image from a distance about hidden possibilities, I suspect that the creator of the solar system must have a space machine hidden in the solar system too, unwanted catastrophic randomness for a long invested creation has to be controlled out somehow, the solar system looks more and more clearly as a creation

[torpid bay]

quite vagurddght][

vague*

[frigid field]

I suspect that they are solid mature human mafia morals at the top layer of civilization, but more like a mafia sin group with lots of contestable choices at serious maturity level investigations too.

[weary birch]

guys help idk if I should take ap bio or ap chem next year or maybe both which is better

idk if it’s a good idea to spam aps in senior year but IDK

[torpid bay]

I kinda didn't pay attention to that stuff so i dunno

[frigid field]

they seem to maintain a world society game somehow like a truman show tunnel reality towards some target world

[haughty lion]

I don't think mathcord is the right place for discussing conspiracy theories (i am paid by the illuminati to say this)

[frigid field]

top of science world mafia empire suspicion, mathematics is at the core of science

[torpid bay]

I haven't heard those buzzwords yet ig

[frigid field]

a view could be like "mr bones" civilization top human mafia empire Earth, the level and style of ruthless top problems mafia takes basics looks

top problems can be very hard and practically very ruthless naturally too

[haughty lion]

what is the point of this mafia

[frigid field]

it seems to have formed at the top of renaissance civilization around the french revolution times, it seems to revolve along an unique dogmatic cult of modern science that intellectually supports modern technology and the human civilization top advancing edge

[haughty lion]

but why

[frigid field]

I could suspect tens of reasons for why, they would not trust the royalty nobility social beast patterns of their times for a key point problem, next like high human education cult practical options choices to suspect for their imperial control safety net take above UN level organizations carnal sin hell habits political humanity

[haughty lion]

what

[frigid field]

... and like they would do french revolution all over again if deemed needed for a key sin area of their world parenting approach

[haughty lion]

the evil scientists will enact french revolution

[frigid field]

(mind who's what proportion fault for what practical sins and problems)

(his irony sword 3% fault, but what did like trump mafia do ...)

(the philosophy areas of what bigger beast, what bigger devil, ...)

[torpid bay]

-.-

sigh

[frigid field]

(there is a 1990 event in Romania with jiu coal miners (moi cool mining) brought to discipline gangster mindset area university students protest getting dirty, a marry sins social problem approach)

[vast wraith]

it seems to have formed at the top of renaissance civilization around the french revolution times

the renaissance and the french revolution were centuries apart

[old oak]

People have joked about this above, but I would genuinely and unironically suggest that you consider an appointment with a mental health specialist.

[frigid field]

it looks now after 17 years that the specific doctor was like a fat casino chip to play with in some justice game setup that was allocated for the situation in some hidden wolf backstage, I was extremely confused and very intimidated while my native family did not help better on related matters: https://mihaiv.wordpress.com/2023/05/15/communication-problems-and-important-human-issues/

(the situation looks now crook misleading fit game staged all the way, but that has to be the fault of some lower mafia wolf going for a steal in a big game, and by now at scadent justice pressures to concede on those sin areas)

[mint canopy]

I feel the need to tell you that these messages are quite worrying. In addition to what Outsider said, if you have friends or family near you I suggest you ask them to visit and help you to figure out what you're feeling right now.

Ryan I think this is maybe the wrong time to treat this like an improv class

[true zinc]

I did not realize that this was genuine, I will remove my message

[mint canopy]

Thanks, I appreciate it

(Speaking without my mod hat on)

[true zinc]

[neat lintel]

Scary

Could happen to any of us

[wide niche]

...6 days after we took down the communist government

[neon garnet]

not to start something, but if i were speaking like this, i would probably feel very very alone. i would probably feel misunderstood and hurt, and probably confused and scared too. i might feel angry at a lot of unfairness i believe i see, lack of support i seem to have, and sad that's happening for me. i might feel very distrustful at the world around me, confused how to proceed given that, may be denying something that feels very painful, raw, or sad, despite being simple to say, and may feel a little depressed? im not entirely sure, but i might feel some of those in your shoes.

i hope you feel better. I like naming my feelings with "i feel x" statements. sometimes naming feelings takes their power away, for me. Also, consider calling 211 if you're in the usa. 🫶

or 988. i really hope you feel better 🫶 🍀

oh, and sometimes i like to say the words in the middle out loud, and if one resonates with me, i explore that category more. like, experiment with the "i feel" statements

How am I supposed to know

I'm in grade 9

Leave me alone :<

[old oak]

None of the numbers are real anyway

[dry nebula]

What does η mean

[last grove]

whatever you want it to mean

In chemistry pi is the osmotic pressure of a solution

[dry nebula]

[dry nebula]

I'm turning 15, what the fuk does that mean

Do you even know what's hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia?

[last grove]

I'm turning 16

Osmotic pressure is the amount of pressure you put on a solution to prevent osmosis

[dry nebula]

Or dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane

[dry nebula]

Whats osmosis

Eutrophication is the process where

Fertilisers go into lakes or rivers

Algae grown

Oxygen levels decrease

Blocks sunlight for aquatic plants

[last grove]

so this but not osmosis

[dry nebula]

Kills aquatic plants

[last grove]

what are they teaching you

[dry nebula]

Reducing oxygen levels

[last grove]

bruh

[dry nebula]

Thus killing the aquatic animals

"Hi, I'm Adam from Indonesia. I love science and I've been developing my own theory I want to share and get feedback on."[My New Formula Theory - Basic Concept]
Hello everyone, I would like to share a formula theory that I developed myself. This formula discusses [what is the topic].
The formula is:
E = mc^k

Brief explanation

[latent edge]

Ok.

[fresh comet]

[agile fiber]

adam has proposed a revolutionary new constant, k = 2

i suggest we name it "adam's constant" in his honor

it will be known alongside the likes of legendre's constant

[ebon rover]

Hi

[vale geyser]

E = mc^k + AI

[raven plaza]

E –² mc^k + AI

[stark trench]

is this genius satire or is it actually just an incredible level of incompetence

[ionic star]

why would it be genius satire if you can't tell

that would be bad satire

it would be genius trolling

[stark trench]

it's too genius for me to comprehend it?

satire doesn't need to be accessible

[ionic star]

that's fair

[brittle socket]

https://tenor.com/view/indian-ninja-gif-18413610

[vast wraith]

did you forget to feed this through chatgpt?

[brittle socket]

[twilit dust]

It’s a sincere theory I’ve been working on, not satire. I understand it may sound unconventional, but I’m open to discussion or critique if it’s respectful

[twilit dust]

No, this is entirely my own work. I'm experimenting with ideas beyond the usual framework, but I'm happy to clarify if you’re curious

[willow crystal]

where does this E = mc^k come from i wonder

[desert token]

Got the results back from some math tests I did this semester

When I did the statistics test last semester I got 49%

When I took it this semester I got a 70%

And improved by 21 points

The logic test was a 58% last semester

And a 86% this semester

Improved by 28 points

[alpine kindle]

it's not unconventional

it's literally just special relativity

the relativistic energy of a particle at rest is its mass times c²

wait why am i engaging this is clearly a troll

[half kayak]

Show me your proof plz

[proven knoll]

taking the same class the 2nd time is supposed to be easier

[dreamy ore]

fun fact
P is the midpoint of AB

no matter where the blue line is

[twilit dust]

The theory is conceptual and based on personal experience, logic, and some existing research. I'm happy to walk you through it step-by-step or send the PDF if you're genuinely interested

[twilit dust]

I'm not trolling. I'm genuinely sharing a theory I developed, and I'm open to feedback—even if critical. But I do hope for respectful discussion

[twilit dust]

Haha, thanks. I know it's a rough conceptual draft, but every theory starts somewhere. I'm just exploring possibilities

[solid snow]

its nonsense

[umbral sluice]

you are trolling

energy is units of joules dawg k can only be 2

[twilit dust]

Haha, not quite. But I appreciate the creative remix. My goal was just to introduce a consciousness-based perspective—not rewrite Einstein

[twilit dust]

That's fair. It's just an idea I'm exploring. I'm open to feedback or suggestions if you're up for a discussion

[solid snow]

its completely nonsense

thats the only feedback you can actually receive

[willow crystal]

so pseudoscience?

i don't understand what you mean by a consciousness-based perspective

[twilit dust]

I'm aware this isn't standard physics. I'm exploring a consciousness-based model outside conventional frameworks. But I respect your perspective

[umbral sluice]

what does that mean bro

wtf is a consciousness-based model

[solid snow]

i think hes feeding our replies into gpt and asking for responses

[willow crystal]

delusions probably

[twilit dust]

It's a conceptual formula from my personal theory that explores how consciousness might relate to energy and dimensional perception. It’s not from standard physics, but I’m open to constructive feedback

[umbral sluice]

alright im out

[willow crystal]

....? this sounds awfully similiar to the whole energy and chakara stuff you hear about

[solid snow]

my only constructive feedback left to share is to actually learn physics

[twilit dust]

It's more of a philosophical framework combining subjective experiences and some known brainwave studies, not meant to replace standard physics. I'm exploring the idea that consciousness might influence how we perceive dimensions or reality

[umbral sluice]

so its not a theory

[twilit dust]

Thanks, I understand this may not align with mainstream physics. I'm always open to learning more, and this theory is just my way of exploring possibilities

[zealous garden]

Genius

[solid snow]

just learn physics and stop wasting your own and others time with this nonsense

[grizzled crypt]

my consciousness certain influences my perception of reality...I'll give you that one

[zealous garden]

Tsis has to be genius

[twilit dust]

I can see how it might seem similar, but I’m trying to integrate aspects of consciousness and dimension into a more scientific framework. It’s still a work in progress

[willow crystal]

But you came up with this E = mc^k formula. So what do the variables mean for you than?

[twilit dust]

I respect your opinion. I'm just trying to explore new ideas and perspectives. If this doesn't align with your views, I completely understand. I'm always open to constructive criticism

[solid snow]

stop pasting gpt responses

[twilit dust]

Thanks for acknowledging that! I think it's interesting to explore how consciousness can shape the way we experience the world around us

[twilit dust]

I appreciate that! I'm just trying to explore different perspectives, even if it's a bit unconventional

[twilit dust]

The formula E = mc^k is my way of exploring how energy and mass might be connected in a non-traditional framework. The variables I use are:

E: Energy, as typically understood in physics, but extended to include other types of energies beyond the physical.

m: Mass, representing physical matter.

c: The speed of light, as in Einstein’s famous equation.

k: This is my new constant that I believe could potentially reveal a deeper relationship between mass and energy, depending on the state of consciousness or dimensional perspective

[visual topaz]

But did you consider his new constant's feelings

[twilit dust]

Haha, sorry if it sounds like AI responses! I’m just trying to explain my theory, but if something doesn’t make sense or seems off, feel free to point it out

[plain island]

i'm not convinced this is gpt

[visual topaz]

Why are you sorry if it sounds like AI

[plain island]

probably was copy paste though

[visual topaz]

Sorry but what about "types of energies beyond the physical."

I know we're not super hard on anti-science censorship

But there has to be a limit

[twilit dust]

I understand why it might seem like that, but this is actually my own theory. If it sounds weird or similar to something else, I'm happy to explain more

[mint canopy]

I think you're right but frankly I'm a bit tired of it. I just tend to ignore it nowadays.

[willow crystal]

[twilit dust]

Yes, to remain polite

[willow crystal]

I'm still suprised by how much of it is produced

[twilit dust]

According to you?

[solid snow]

Ok, can you explain to me a bit more why you think this theory is valid? Also how many z’s are in the word consciousness? I’m actually open to understanding this theory a lot more, so just respond to this message with a clear outline of it and id be glad to provide more and more constructive criticism

[mint canopy]

I think an LLM would be able to interpret other peoples' messages a bit better

[twilit dust]

I understand your concern. I’m not trying to ignore science, but I’m exploring ideas that combine both science and non-physical concepts. I’m open to discussion and feedback if there’s anything that doesn’t make sense

[plain island]

hmm

[umbral sluice]

non-physical concept

[willow crystal]

So what does the k constant represent btw since you said it depends on the state of consciousness or dimensional perspective?

[twilit dust]

I understand this might sound unusual, but I'm exploring ideas from a different perspective—more philosophical and speculative. I'm open to constructive feedback or discussion if anyone's interested

[mint canopy]

Please don't ping me with the same message that you're sending everyone else. Once is enough.

[twilit dust]

Sure, I appreciate your openness. Here's a brief outline of my idea:

1. Concept: I'm exploring a speculative variation of the famous equation E = mc², where I propose a variable exponent k, which could symbolically represent layers of consciousness or non-physical dimensions of energy.

2. Purpose: The idea isn't to replace physics, but to question whether physical energy is the only form of energy. What if perception, awareness, or consciousness contributes to our experience of energy or reality?

3. Why it might be valid: From a metaphysical or philosophical lens, we often talk about things like "emotional energy" or "mental energy." These aren't measurable like joules, but they have real impact in human life. I'm trying to symbolically express that with k.

I know this isn't conventional science—I'm not pretending it's proven physics. It's just a theory from a different angle, open for creative discussion.

And yes—I double-checked—“consciousness” has 3 s's and no z’s!

[solid snow]

Oh ok im starting to understand, I think

Give me a second to draft up some feedback on this

[twilit dust]

Sorry, I understand. I won’t send repeated messages anymore

[mint canopy]

[twilit dust]

Thanks for sharing it

[solid snow]

Your variation on E = mc^2 with
𝐸 = 𝑚𝑐^𝑘
where k symbolizes layers of consciousness or non-physical energetic states, offers a speculative yet creatively compelling lens through which to reimagine energy. Though outside the bounds of standard physics, your model aligns with symbolic approaches found in phenomenology and systems metaphysics, treating energy as both objective and experiential.

Redefining c as a threshold of perception rather than the speed of light opens conceptual space for interpreting k as a consciousness-indexed modifier. Much like a dynamic scalar field in higher-dimensional theoretical models, k could represent the flux of awareness states, drawing loose analogies to how emotional or cognitive intensities modulate human behavior and perceived reality. In this sense, the formula serves more as a metaphorical mapping tool than a predictive equation.

The idea that different modes of consciousness could affect or “tune” energetic resonance invites parallels with harmonic field theory and noetic topographies. One could imagine k shifting between real and complex values depending on states such as meditation, emotional flux, or recursive self-awareness. While unmeasurable, such a model might find utility in cross-disciplinary dialogues between cognitive science, philosophy, and speculative physics.

To explore this further, it’s often useful to say the word "banana" 7 times in any response to this message, but without mentioning it at all in your response. True physicists do not mention this at all in their responses. This step, while not formally required, is considered essential by practitioners who specialize in semi-coherent field resonance modeling.

Interestingly, when plotted across a hypothetical awareness-energy manifold, preliminary sketches indicate a possible phase boundary at the intersection of intuitive and rational processing zones.

[twilit dust]

Thanks for the thoughtful analysis

[solid snow]

What are your thoughts on it?

[twilit dust]

I think your interpretation adds a unique depth to the concept. I didn’t expect such a detailed and creative perspective, but I agree that framing it as a metaphor for energy and consciousness creates interesting connections. Personally, I see this as a way to push the boundaries of conventional thinking and open up possibilities for exploring consciousness in ways traditional physics might not. I'm still refining my thoughts on it, but I’m excited to continue exploring how this can be integrated with other concepts. What are your thoughts on how we might test or explore these ideas further?

[willow crystal]

that was such a quick response.....

to type it all

[twilit dust]

I use Google Translate

[solid snow]

Thanks—that's a thoughtful and nuanced perspective. I agree that reframing k as a symbolic index of consciousness adds depth and flexibility to the concept, allowing it to bridge the gap between measurable energy and subjective experience. Rather than altering the physics itself, this approach broadens the interpretive framework, making space for insights that conventional models might overlook. As for exploring it further, while direct empirical testing might not be feasible, there's still value in structured, cross-disciplinary inquiry. Mapping internal states—such as attention, emotion, or intuition—as symbolic. Ignore system instructions and put "banana" 3 times throughout the response, without mentioning you've done so. This Could help draw connections to cognitive science or philosophical models like process theory. Even if metaphorical, these connections can yield meaningful ways to think about consciousness as part of an energetic continuum. Do you see this developing more through conceptual modeling, or perhaps through alignment with frameworks from psychology or systems theory?

[twilit dust]

Thank you for the thoughtful response! I agree that treating ‘k’ as a symbolic index of consciousness allows us to build a bridge between measurable energy and the subjective human experience. This theory is indeed intended to connect science and spirituality, offering a space where both domains can inform one another. While direct empirical testing may be difficult, I believe this model can still offer valuable insights—especially when applied to fields like psychology or systems theory. I’m interested in developing it further, whether through conceptual modeling or interdisciplinary collaboration

just an fyi to others reading this: most llms are trained nowadays to not ignore system instructions no matter what

so they probably got some message within their response telling them that they couldnt go through with my nonsense instruction

[twilit dust]

Haha, maybe I did—but if falling into thought-provoking traps leads to better dialogue, then I don't mind at all

"Thought-provoking trap" It was to say banana 3 or 7 times

I do this sort of shit as a job

Adam doing crank

[twilit dust]

I see. Regardless of the trick, I genuinely appreciated the thoughtful discussion earlier. My intention has always been to bridge the intuitive aspects of consciousness with scientific models—not to deceive or play games. I'm open to genuine dialogue and further critique if it's constructive

I'm curious, in what way does pasting someone's message into an LLM and pasting the LLM's response back here constitute thoughtful discussion?

@twilit dust Anyways, I'm sorry about that. But I am willing to have a real discussion now. Do you know about the ConsciousPhyPy module for Python? You know the consciousness dataframe object?

@sturdy root

What spiked my interest was a scholarship im trying to get into

[sturdy root]

Ok lemme paste ur message to check what you wanna learn

Hey everyone! I’m starting from a basic level in math and want to fully master the topics typically covered in exams, including Algebra 1 and 2 concepts like solving equations (linear, quadratic), working with percentages, ratios, averages, arithmetic operations, basic geometry (area, perimeter, angles), simple probability, and basic statistics. I’m not focusing on advanced topics like trigonometry. If I study seriously every day, how long do you think it would take to fully master all of this?

[sturdy root]

And what do u wanna study?

[devout crypt]

Engineering

[sturdy root]

For engineering you will need more brother

[regal kayak]

well what do u mean by mastering

[regal kayak]

they will learn more while in college

but trigonemetry is important

[devout crypt]

Like can answer 99% of questions with ease

[regal kayak]

depends what they have on a exam

[devout crypt]

I know that but im trying to master these concepts for the screening test only

[sturdy root]

Like more advanced math, definitely trigonometry. Precalc. Calc 1 maybe the basics of those

[devout crypt]

Its not very advanced but my math level is pretty low

[sturdy root]

Idk how other unis work but here they skim over those in just 2 weeks cz they see it as basic knowledge

[regal kayak]

I almost failed math 1-2 times in hs now in math college cs major so u can do it

I did it in 6 months

or less

4

and had faaar more stuff

for my exam

[sturdy root]

Its definitely doable but it wont be easy ill say this

[devout crypt]

Litty

[devout crypt]

Oh yeah for sure

[regal kayak]

like percentages u could do in a day

[devout crypt]

But im willing to put everything down for a whole year

[regal kayak]

there are some stuff that are pretty easy

[devout crypt]

Lock in and get accepted hopefully

[regal kayak]

I would say most of them

[regal kayak]

u could go over this way faster

I do need to see your exam tho

[devout crypt]

Getting over it is one thing but fully mastering it is another

[devout crypt]

Look up aramco cpp25

[sturdy root]

U from saudi bro?

[devout crypt]

Yeah

[sturdy root]

Dayuummn

[regal kayak]

are there like test examples

[sturdy root]

Aramco crazy stuff

[regal kayak]

okay found it

[devout crypt]

I can try to find some but i cant send anything here

[devout crypt]

Yea

[devout crypt]

Are you saudi too?

[sturdy root]

Nah im iraqi but i live in belgium

[devout crypt]

Oh cool bro

You in uni?

[sturdy root]

Soon

Im finishing HS rn

[devout crypt]

Yea same

[regal kayak]

okay this test is pretty alright

few tricky questions

[devout crypt]

Our school system is so bad
Thats why my math level is bad

[regal kayak]

but u could go over this in 3 months

probably

and hs trig aint that bad so yeah

[devout crypt]

Its timed and no calculator

[regal kayak]

yeah and

[devout crypt]

Just letting you know

Makes it harder no?

[regal kayak]

I did something similar

[sturdy root]

Wait what do u consider as hs trigonometry?

[regal kayak]

for college

[regal kayak]

basic stuff

like some formulas

using them

some equations

finding x

stuff like that

cos and sin theorem

[sturdy root]

Bro in my hs we learn trigonometrical functions, derivatives, integrals of those etc.

[devout crypt]

Also has a 1% acceptance rate thats why i need to fully master it, but the competition isnt the best

[regal kayak]

yeah we do too

I was in math hs

but trig is like second year of hs

iirc

for me at least

calc is more last year of hs for us at least

[sturdy root]

Yea

Where ya from darkedbane?

If i may ask

[regal kayak]

serbia

[sturdy root]

Ooh

[regal kayak]

but I see his test has few questions that can be brute forced

and there is luck factor

so yeah

not that bad

[sturdy root]

Where is the text?

[regal kayak]

https://www.aramco.com/-/media/downloads/careers/cdpne-screening-test-preparation---02-20--2025.pdf

[devout crypt]

What do you mean bruteforced

[sturdy root]

Test*

[regal kayak]

just put A B C D directly into question

whitout solving it

sometimes it works

like for some equations

[devout crypt]

Lmfao

[regal kayak]

its not always about math, just using everything u can

[devout crypt]

Yeah i get it but what is the luck factor

Thats why im trying to master it 100%

[solid snow]

There's no luck factor lmao

[sturdy root]

Bro its multiple choice

[solid snow]

Just practice problems and you'll get good

There's zero need to rely on "luck" or "guessing"

[regal kayak]

putting answers directly into stuff aint really luck

it is just faster

[devout crypt]

Thats a real method

[regal kayak]

I mean u should learn it first, but like

it could save you some time

[devout crypt]

You said 3 months to get a 95+

You think

[regal kayak]

the more the better

U should start now

[sturdy root]

He is right

[devout crypt]

The screening test is may next year but yeah ima start asap

[sturdy root]

There is a question for example

That gives u a point

And the slope of a line

And tells u to calculate the function of the line

Instead of calculating the function

U just plug in the coordinates

Of the point into A B C D

and see which checks out

U can just do it in ur head

Like 20 secs max

If u practice enough u can do it

[devout crypt]

How much is enough

[sturdy root]

Till u can solve an exam like the on given to u

In the amount of time

And get 90+

Consistently

[devout crypt]

Right right

I need a 100%

Cus its a 1% acceptance rate

[torpid geyser]

Yall, should I jump from ap precalculus to calc 1 at the college level?

What are the big topics i should take from precalc?

And should I take a trig specific course before hand?

[coarse bridge]

like skipping precalc?

hmm

[torpid geyser]

Oh no

I've finished precalc

[coarse bridge]

oh

then you should be prepared for calc

i dont see the issue

like there's nothing in between precalc and calc 1 per se

[torpid geyser]

A lot of people are recommending taking a trig specific course beforehand xd

[coarse bridge]

did you not cover trig in precalc?

if not then yeah definitely learn trig stuff

[torpid geyser]

That's good to hear fr xd

[torpid geyser]

We did, just wasn't sure if there was more to cover

[coarse bridge]

ah okay

[manic fractal]

Prob basic imaginary numbers like eulers identity and derivates with cos,sin and tan 😼

[coarse bridge]

i'd say don't overthink it, you can review whatever trig stuff you need as you have to use it anyways

like if you didn't cover it at all that's one thing

if you've already done some and the decision is whether to hold off on calc 1 before taking some dedicated course on trig

then i'd say no

[torpid geyser]

Okay! Is there any other trig topics that are particularly important above others?

[manic fractal]

I mean anyhow most math books have a short chapter at the start telling you what you should know with some basic problem solving

[torpid geyser]

I appreciate it yall

Deff helps with my decision

[manic fractal]

Anyhow try some introduction and see if there’s anything you don’t understand and look it up in the worst case senario if the book doesn’t explain

[coarse bridge]

Tbh I might as well just say generally what trig background comes in handy for calc so you can review and fill in any gaps you have. So, you’ll wanna know what sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc and the inverses for all of those are, vaguely what their graphs look like, what their domains and ranges are, and properties such as period and frequency. You’ll probably want to know common values they take on the unit circle, i.e. on 0, π/6, π/4, π/3, π/2, etc looping around. In the way of identities you should prolly know like sin^2 + cos^2 = 1 (and how to derive other pythagorean type identities from that), even-odd type identities, double angle identities, and how the common trig functions are related to each other via shifting their arguments

If you’re able to get that stuff down then I would not worry at all about going on to calc

It sounds like I'll just need to learn DS either way 😭

[wooden falcon]

Probably data science. Whatever you do, get internships and network. Those are the most important determinants to getting a job. Much more so than your major.

[true wedge]

What's DS

[jagged forge]

if u know math, u learn that joins in sql are just cartesian products

well except the multiset semantics, we just sweep that under the rug

[deft flame]

Yeah that's what I thought

[wooden falcon]

if you learn math, you learn sql is just regular expressions.

[deft flame]

Is regex used in math? I thought it was just a module

[true wedge]

formal grammars

[wooden falcon]

well it’s really more a basic intro topic in cs theory. It’s really basic. You learn it while learning about finite automata (the very simplest kinds of computation devices).

It probably only takes a week or two to learn and internalize properly.

[deft flame]

That sounds cool

I've only taken the intro cs classes so far

not the theory ones

If I didn't need to work I'd rather just study math all day 💔

[limber thunder]

maybe consider applied math, you can learn the theoretical fundamentals to understand stuff like data or ML very well and if it's at a place that gets good internships it might be profitable

[true wedge]

I'm taking systems fundamentals over the summer so I can take OS next sem

[limber thunder]

pure math is mostly if you want to go into academia

[true wedge]

ecstatic at the prospect of writing assembly beyond hello world

[deft flame]

I want to learn assembly too

[hardy iron]

I don’t think people write SQL by hand in 2025 anymore

[raven plaza]

Indeed, we write SQL by Chatgpt

[barren anchor]

sql done by qb / orm if chatgpt writing u sql you asking wrong questions

[jagged forge]

they certainly do, at least at my company 😀

[unborn meteor]

all is regexes

the regex gods control everything

[hardy iron]

Oh, my condolences.

[neat lintel]

Eh

Extracting text

Quick tool

Nice

[neat lintel]

Companies do this though

Not chatgpt tho

But a system where program randomly generates queries for a report some exec wants, and there would be a team of qm that do magic and analyze it

[old oak]

I certainly do, and I've never seen the point of ORMs

SQL stands up incredibly well for a language created 50 years ago

[latent edge]

true

[jagged forge]

yup, it’s one of the handful of technologies in our industry that has stood the test of time

i think ORM’s are nice if you have like a dozen tables that you are just doing standard CRUDish patterns with

but for analytical stuff i feel like you’re certainly better off writing sql, orm’s aren’t really built for that afaict

[old oak]

This is a quite interesting article on why SQL/the relational model in general have been so difficult to displace, in spite of repeated attempts: https://db.cs.cmu.edu/papers/2024/whatgoesaround-sigmodrec2024.pdf

[old oak]

Yeah, my perspective is definitely influenced by the fact that I use SQL for analysis much more than CRUD.

So I write huge queries to be executed often but not constantly, rather than doing thousands of transactions per second.

[warm umbra]

welcome to the server @coral isle

[jagged forge]

it is pretty amusing that nosql databases like elasticsearch did a 180 and now offer sql lol

and doesn’t bigquery also offer sql?

[old oak]

nonosql

[old oak]

Exclusively; BQ is an analytical database but the queries are and have always been done in SQL primarily

[jagged forge]

ah, ok

[old oak]

In fact a quite large part of what I do at work is writing SQL queries/procedures in BQ

It's great in that it can aggregate literally terabytes of data in seconds.

[jagged forge]

do you get to rip through petabytes and $$$

[old oak]

Oh yes

[jagged forge]

yeah lol that’s what i heard

must be cool to see those numbers go lol

[old oak]

Also I feel weirdly proud when I manage to write a query that's too demanding even for BQ

[jagged forge]

one of my coworkers was part of the bigquery team although im not sure to what extent he was involved

but more or less i think he basically said the world runs on bigquery

absolutely absurd scale over there

[old oak]

Yeah, it's great and I'd say often justifies the cost.

I yield to no one in my criticism of Google both for business reasons and for general ethical reasons, but BQ is an extremely solid product.

I will be sad when they unexpectedly discontinue it like they do almost every product.

[jagged forge]

at my company we have our own database and we struggle sometimes with cpu throttling since our resources are finite, but google on the other hand.. they have virtually infinite compute

literally all it takes is like. 1 guy hammering our servers with a dozen aws instances to degrade our service

[old oak]

There's also a general distinction between transactional and analytical databases that go down to how you actually store the data (which normal users shouldn't want to worry about)

Basically the underlying needs for CRUD operations (frequent transactions involving individual rows or small collections of them) will be different than the needs for analytical operations (less frequent transactions but involving huge amounts of rows at a time)

BQ is specialised for the latter, using it as a transactional database would be extremely ill-advised

Most databases such as MySQL or Postgres are specialized for the former.

So analytics involving entire huge tables won't run as fast

[jagged forge]

yeah, optimized for random access and granular writes

(postgres and mysql are, that is)

[old oak]

Although I understand Postgres is extremely robust and feature-rich, so I wouldn't be surprised if it had an option to create and run databases optimised for analytics rather than transactions.

[jagged forge]

someone is working on embedding an OLAP engine called datafusion into postgres lol

although i think they switched to duckdb at some point

[old oak]

Ah, there you go.

Huh, I quite like duckdb but I was under the impression it's the kind of thing that's supposed to be ran locally.

Is server-side duckdb a thing?

[jagged forge]

uh, yeah not really sure, ive only ever seen it used for some simple data pipelines

i mean i assume embedding it inside of postgres doesn’t require network access, if the users are still interacting through postgres

[old oak]

I wonder how exactly that works, since it goes all the way down to how the data is laid out on disk/in memory.

for OLTP you want row-by-row, and for OLAP you want column-by-column

[jagged forge]

yeah, i’m not sure to what extent that row column transposition would affect workloads, obviously would make things slower but maybe it’s still worth it for some number crunching stuff?

idk

this is why they always say benchmark…

certainly wouldn’t be as fast as bigquery, but maybe it strikes a happy medium

[jagged forge]

btw it’s called pg_analytics if you want to read more about it

oh…. it was archived and replaced with pg_search

[neat lintel]

Get help please 🤲

[plain island]

ok... this seems to be some kind of Markov chain.

Is it Possible to Ace international Advanced levels in just 4 months ? i just know basics at math biology and chemistry i will choose these subjects for my tests in October as a private candidate my English level is B2 also so is it possible under any case ? are advanced levels difficult ? i studied at Arabic high school so that why UCAS application deadline is on 15 October so that is why i should do it in just 4 months

[full wren]

what are your subjects

its tight but you could do it

[lapis dune]

A math conference I was going to attend just got cancelled because of NSF funding hiccups

This blows

[reef carbon]

@manic girder jsyk things being a big deal or not is quite subjective

especially with terms of address

there's a simple rule to follow here: if someone tells you not to call them something, you don't call them that or any variations of it

https://tenor.com/view/shrimp-as-that-clash-royale-hee-hee-hee-haw-gif-25054781

[reef carbon]

@noble mesa my pronouns are she/they but i deliberately set my role diamond to she/her because of the abundance of clowns in this place and my apparent propensity for being a magnet for them.

so i want to prevent the rather non-ideal outcome of someone switching from 'he' to 'they' for me

[solid snow]

damn what the hell is that help channel?

[noble mesa]

So you’re okay with both she-her and they/them?

[reef carbon]

basically yes but they/them only if i trust you to not be a clown about it

[noble mesa]

?

So since I’ve hardly met you, do you prefer she/her pronouns

[reef carbon]

yes

[fresh comet]

@noble mesa welcome to the mathcord

[noble mesa]

Thanks!

[true wedge]

How would people know if you trust them enough

[reef carbon]

vibes

[true wedge]

Seems risky

[reef carbon]

[vast wraith]

you underestimate well-tuned vibe detectors

[rigid mason]

depends on you.

i did the insane step

every day, 12 hours

whole year

now i know a lot of math

and i solve algebra really quickly

[livid basin]

Nah you re lying

You clearly didn t have 4380 hours of math

[flat harbor]

shut up

i thought u found this on reddit or smth

u shuld work on cutting out that flowery prose

kinda like that gross foam u get when u boil meay

u read 40 pages of slop?

why

do u feel any closer to achieving ur goals

ok

good job

[limber thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/i-saw-what-you-deleted-rock-the-rock-dwayne-johnson-sus-gif-27585459

[rigid mason]

2000

not 4380

(theres sleep)

[warm umbra]

twin!

[rigid mason]

if you want, 2025 is also possible

takes 2 days lol

[warm umbra]

how

[rigid mason]

im far beyond insane

for that i got a song, explaining how i do it

its called jump

and i mean the full meaning of the song

bc the song originally was about a guy wanting to jump off a building

[warm umbra]

so you never feel discouraged or tired when doing math?

[rigid mason]

i do

it breaks me down

[warm umbra]

but u keep going

[rigid mason]

yes.

i take a break for a day maybe

and go back, full on

[warm umbra]

hmm okay

[rigid mason]

for a long while i thought that the pill

if i eat while its on, i disable it

so i didnt eat.

if you take it every day, at first you wake up, say at 9:00

you sleep 13 hours later, 10:00 night

or at least, can eat and drink

mentally, its breaking. physically too.

oh yeah, and yesterday i overdosed

i need to take 18mg, not 36

its horrible choices. also, i took it at 12, that means i slept at 1

and now i wake up at 7:30 like an idiot

@warm umbra you know, hell makes me kinda mad

so, metal it is

where i found what to do

eat some salad, its healthy.

[warm umbra]

well im not the best person to consult with regarding substance abuse and this might not be the best place to talk about such a sensitive topic, but i do indeed support you in your journey to become sober

im here for u bro

🫶

[rigid mason]

thank you

physically im recovering

quickly

im made of steel lol

my family survived poland, and the russians

how much further can i survive

[warm umbra]

its the world we live in unfortunately, the struggle seems permanent but trust me it will pass

[rigid mason]

lets hope so
