serious-discussion

[deep mango]

charcuterie, tea, and sometimes various pound cakes

because i remember the meatballs most fondly

[bronze pelican]

Lanch

[toxic schooner]

Lanch.

[deep mango]

also sometimes they had taquitos and if those aren't posh then i don't want a thing to do with posh

[bronze pelican]

It's time for lanch

[meager sonnet]

Yeah okay my standards are definitely wayyy too high in this regard then

[deep mango]

[modest rune]

i mean

its not a fundraising event for millionaires

if thats what ur asking

[deep mango]

maybe one or two of them are millionaires

[modest rune]

i said for millionaires

there might be millionaires

[deep mango]

only millionaires allowed in this seminar.

[modest rune]

woke

at least the capital is being honest then

[deep mango]

🤨

[meager sonnet]

Yeah now that's posh

[modest rune]

should I go surf in the rain

[deep mango]

yes

is it raining?

[modest rune]

yes

[meager sonnet]

Life goal is now to maximize the overlap of maths people and millionaires

[deep mango]

wow, that's nice

being in the ocean in the rain (if no lightning of course)

is very nice

[modest rune]

im worried

that ill miss my flight

but surfing is life

[deep mango]

you have a flight

[modest rune]

yes

[deep mango]

[sharp mulch]

[meager sonnet]

Ahh, when?

[deep mango]

go to the airport, you're already late

[modest rune]

oh the rain stopped

lmfao

[deep mango]

that was quick

[modest rune]

i cant stand people who do that

weird weather today

[deep mango]

who go to the airport early

?

i go to the airport 3 hours early

[modest rune]

like several hours early

yes

[meager sonnet]

I always go to the airport like 2-3 hours

[deep mango]

but that's not as early as ange

[meager sonnet]

Yeah

[modest rune]

thats so unnecessary

[sharp mulch]

4?

[modest rune]

i get there an hour early at most

[deep mango]

i like to watch people walk around the airport, and i like to walk around and enjoy all the different shops and stalls in the terminal

[meager sonnet]

It is necessary if you travel a lot and know how long security and stuff can be

[sharp mulch]

Oh how stressful

[modest rune]

i dont feel stress often

[meager sonnet]

Max I fly out of DIA have you seen the size of that place

[bronze pelican]

I get to the airport like 3 hrs early lol

[modest rune]

i probably travel more than almost anyone my age hahaha

[sharp mulch]

If you don't get to the airport early how will you take advantage of ✨ lounge access ✨ you get with your ✨ first class ticket ✨

[meager sonnet]

You know how crazy congested it can get on bad days

I've flown 3 times in the past 2 weeks

[deep mango]

fiona's posh standards.... they're coming out in full force

[meager sonnet]

British Airways lounges are my favourites

[modest rune]

I could probably match that pre covid

im getting my wings again

[sharp mulch]

Ewww BA

[deep mango]

[meager sonnet]

I abuse the hell out of credit card reward points

[sharp mulch]

Turkish has really nice lounges

[modest rune]

I fly free

[meager sonnet]

So the card gives you the miles for buying things

[bronze pelican]

#discussion-rich-kids.

[sharp mulch]

Oh yes I have one of those

[deep mango]

i like stabbing meatballs with fancy skewers.

[meager sonnet]

And has a little promotional for buying office supply stores

[bronze pelican]

Get in #ivory_toewer

[sharp mulch]

Chase Sapphire Reserve ~~

[broken scaffold]

toe

[meager sonnet]

So we just buy everything ever with office depot gift cards

[meager sonnet]

yeah!

[modest rune]

oh thats my current card ange

[sharp mulch]

I'm currently doing the 60000 points for 4k spend in first 3 months

[deep mango]

[modest rune]

oh no

[sharp mulch]

Eh

[modest rune]

i have prefered

nevermind

[sharp mulch]

I'm already most of the way there

Only 1k of spending left

[cold needle]

buy me a computer

[sharp mulch]

With 2 months to go

[meager sonnet]

My trip to Italy was first class, almost entirely free from just abusing the office supply thing

[cold needle]

easy solution

[deep mango]

hey what if..... one of you pays for my flights to corsica?

[modest rune]

anyway

point is

[deep mango]

thanks!

[modest rune]

1 hour is more than enough time

and if you fly that much fiona

[sharp mulch]

I mean

[modest rune]

you should already be global entry

[meager sonnet]

Depends on airport and conditions Max

[sharp mulch]

I was going to go to Slovenia for ECM

[modest rune]

It doesnt

[sharp mulch]

But registration ended

[modest rune]

ive never missed a flight

[meager sonnet]

Again I usually fly out of DIA and it can get ridiculous

[modest rune]

thats what global entry is for

[meager sonnet]

I haven't either

No like

[modest rune]

and i always cut it to the last second

[meager sonnet]

Literally just the crowds

[sharp mulch]

You mean Denver right

DIA is the IATA code for Doha

[meager sonnet]

Yes

[modest rune]

wdym

can you like

not physically move

[meager sonnet]

Denver International Airport

Well

[sharp mulch]

Denver gets really crowded

[meager sonnet]

Traffic sometimes

Can prevent you from moving

[sharp mulch]

The people mover between terminals is also kind of sus

[meager sonnet]

And in certain places

[sharp mulch]

A strict limit on capacity

[modest rune]

I have nothing against getting there earlier than me the issue is people who demand to be like 4+ hours early

its just like

[sharp mulch]

[meager sonnet]

Yeah the little railway that goes from the main area to A/B/C is slow

[sharp mulch]

Yeah

[modest rune]

if you somehow manage to miss a flight getting there 3 hours early

[broken scaffold]

Yes I like to spend the night at my terminal so I can wake up where I need to be

[meager sonnet]

I always walk the skybridge if I'm going from the main one to A

[sharp mulch]

And the terminals get so crowded

It's misery

Well

[modest rune]

Im saying get there 1hour early

not leave your house

you can predict traffic

[sharp mulch]

To be expected of an illuminati base

[modest rune]

maybe earlier if you check a bag

i try to avoid that

[deep mango]

max is technically correct that you really only need to get there 2 hours early at most

[meager sonnet]

If my flights at B or C, it's easier to steal a luggage loading vehicle to make it to the terminals than take the little train thingy

[deep mango]

that doesn't make it more fun to spend those 2 hours sitting doing nothing in your house

[azure kettle]

ya, getting to an airport earlier than 2 hours is too extra

[deep mango]

i would much rather enjoy the airport

[modest rune]

dont do that then lol

i spend those 2 hours packing

[azure kettle]

I probably wouldnt show up just an hour before, but 2 hours seems more than enough

[sharp mulch]

Just pack early??

[meager sonnet]

I pack ages before

[modest rune]

why pack early

[sharp mulch]

Yeah

[modest rune]

idgi

[sharp mulch]

Get to the airport 4 hours before

[meager sonnet]

I'm forgetful

[sharp mulch]

Explore all the terminals

Relax in lounge

[modest rune]

why lmfao

airports are like

shitty malls

[sharp mulch]

See the planes

[modest rune]

just go have fun at a real mall

[sharp mulch]

Planes are very cool

[azure kettle]

shitty but overpriced malls

[sharp mulch]

Watch the takeoffs and landings

[cinder zephyr]

Planes are cool

[sharp mulch]

I didn't say spend anything

[cinder zephyr]

but not 4 hours at airport cool

[sharp mulch]

Yes they are

[meager sonnet]

I would ensure I have everything by packing early and giving myself more opportunities to remember

[modest rune]

i need like

10 things to travel

[devout nacelle]

Ange 3 year old fascinated with planes arc

[cinder zephyr]

1.5-2 hours is the maximum amount of timeI want to spend at an airport

[modest rune]

i haphazardly toss clothes into a bag

[sharp mulch]

[modest rune]

deodorant toothbrush wtc

etc

some sleep stuff

[cinder zephyr]

yea same

[meager sonnet]

WTC?

[modest rune]

wtc?

etc

it was a typo

[meager sonnet]

Oh

[modest rune]

that takes like

10min

sometimes i bring climbing gear

but i keep that packed

[meager sonnet]

I bring like

[modest rune]

oh

all my tech

like laptop or whatever

[meager sonnet]

Ample clothes

[modest rune]

i bring barely enough to far too little clothing

[meager sonnet]

Phone chargers, various cables, converters, portable battery pack, headphones, mic

[modest rune]

mic?

[meager sonnet]

Yeah

[modest rune]

what for?

[meager sonnet]

How else do talk on discord

[modest rune]

oh does your laptop not have a built in moc

mic

or your phone

[meager sonnet]

I don't have a laptop atm

My phone does

But it's not that good

[deep mango]

real malls aren't fun, they're awful

[meager sonnet]

If I'm talking with someone for a while it's not very enjoyable

[deep mango]

people at real malls are all just ambling about, there's very little urgency

[meager sonnet]

Or if they're HoH

[modest rune]

dont you dare insult the only entertainment in my home town like that @deep mango

[deep mango]

the airport is great because there's so much energy

[meager sonnet]

I went to the WTC mall the other day and enjoyed it

[modest rune]

my phones speakerphone is like

good enough

[deep mango]

i want to be the one ambling through a scene of chaos

[meager sonnet]

Malls usually have watch stores

[modest rune]

but i normally carry earbuds

[meager sonnet]

Which is pretty based

[modest rune]

which have a marginally better mic

[meager sonnet]

I carry my Audeze Mobius

[modest rune]

lmao

i would never

[meager sonnet]

Big old Bluetooth headset

[modest rune]

audezes are amazing

id love a pair od LCDs

of*

[meager sonnet]

Oh yeah these aren't LCDs

[modest rune]

i know the ones

i tried on mobius in london

[meager sonnet]

LCD would be the worst travel headphones tbh

Like

[modest rune]

they were quite nice

[meager sonnet]

Heavy as all hell

[modest rune]

i just use shitty apple earbuds

so when i inevitably lose them

its not a big deal

[meager sonnet]

My friends joke about the people who daily drive LCDs having tree trunk necks

[modest rune]

i have uh

whmx100s

wh1000mx

whatever the thing is

theres some offensive joke to be made about bringing the wtc onto an airplane

[meager sonnet]

Ooh those are very nice

[modest rune]

yeah

im kinda sick of them

they have this automated pressurization

that makes my inner ear feel weird

[blazing pawn]

this is one of the saddest things ive heard in a long time max

[meager sonnet]

The WTC was really cool, IMO

[modest rune]

phoenix arizona is not like

a fun city

[meager sonnet]

WAIT

YOU'RE FROM PHOENIX

WTF

[modest rune]

yeah

thats been known

[meager sonnet]

That's like

Kinda where I'm from

[modest rune]

i still have a place in paradise valley

[blazing pawn]

I think youve both had this conversation before

lol

[modest rune]

probably

[meager sonnet]

I was born in Tucson and spent a fair amount of time in Phoenix

[vast cipher]

oh shit im about to drive into pheonix to die

[meager sonnet]

Ultra you know the WTC is still a thing

[modest rune]

fiona then u know the struggle

altho

[meager sonnet]

WTC one

[modest rune]

tuscon has like

bars and college shit

[meager sonnet]

And meth

[vast cipher]

good hiking

[modest rune]

yes and meth

[vast cipher]

u forgot the hiking

[blazing pawn]

you swapped it

its One WTC

for some reason

[vast cipher]

and caves

[modest rune]

hiking is like

[meager sonnet]

Oh yeah

[modest rune]

neh

[meager sonnet]

Whatever

[modest rune]

meh

[meager sonnet]

The Oculus was very cool

[blazing pawn]

Everyone just calls it hte freedom tower though for some reason

[meager sonnet]

I met a VRChat friend there

[modest rune]

lmao freedom tower

thats such a name

[blazing pawn]

Lmao yeah

[modest rune]

fiona do you have vr stuff

is it worth it

[meager sonnet]

It's pretty fun

[modest rune]

i have been planning to wait until there is like

better tech

[meager sonnet]

I do mostly VRChat with the Index

RN the tech is quite good

Depending on your goals and price range

[modest rune]

what about the games

[deep mango]

i really like the oculus

[meager sonnet]

What kinda games are you interested in

[modest rune]

um

i only really play civ 5 rn

[meager sonnet]

Again I mostly just do VRChat LOL

[modest rune]

but i like shooters

and rogs

[blazing pawn]

I played VR on my friends setup and superhot was really good

[modest rune]

rpgs

[meager sonnet]

Onward and Pavlov are pretty good

[modest rune]

oh

superhot sounds fun in br

[meager sonnet]

Superhot VR was quite fun

[modest rune]

vr

[mortal oasis]

What’s a rog

[meager sonnet]

It was more of a workout than I'd expected

[blazing pawn]

I dont think there are enough games that support it or that theyre coming out fast enough to be properly worth it though honestly

[modest rune]

rpg

typo

[mortal oasis]

Oh

[blazing pawn]

Theres like Skyrim VR I guess

[meager sonnet]

Very strange to hold some fixed poses like that to dodge bullets

[meager sonnet]

Does not exist, fake

[blazing pawn]

Its real

Its just bad

[modest rune]

if they release a new elder scrolls on vr

id consider it

[blazing pawn]

(allegedly)

[meager sonnet]

Skyrim VR is pretty bad yeah

[blazing pawn]

I would only do that if i saw evidence that the game is actually built for VR

Like

[meager sonnet]

There are mods to fix some stuff ofc

[blazing pawn]

Even when its functional

Games that arent built for VR are kinda like...

once the novelty wears off its just the same game in a different control scheme

Vs superhot and other shooters which actually use the VR to make it fun

[meager sonnet]

Yeah

Onward has a lot of elements specific to VR and such

[modest rune]

fiona question

do you have major flying pet peeves

that arent illegal

but should be

mine is tuna

[meager sonnet]

Oh like

[modest rune]

if you bring tuna on a flight and sit next to me

[meager sonnet]

Things that people shouldn't be allowed to do?

[modest rune]

i will want to murder you

[meager sonnet]

Babies

[modest rune]

oh man

one time when i was 1

i was on a plane

next to some dude in a business suit

[meager sonnet]

I've had a single time rhere was a baby on the plane with me that wasn't awful

[modest rune]

and i threw up on him

[blazing pawn]

Other people

[modest rune]

in the first hour of a 5 hour flight

[meager sonnet]

[blazing pawn]

max

thats so bad oh my god

[vagrant kestrel]

praxis

[modest rune]

honestly

[devout nacelle]

Based Max hating on capitalism since year 1

[modest rune]

fewer plane babies

more plane dogs

plane dogs make everything better

[blazing pawn]

Oh max

are you going to play the new shin megami tensei game

or do you not play JRPGs

[modest rune]

im gonna be honest

[deep mango]

that's finally coming out huh

[modest rune]

idk the difference

[deep mango]

that's wild

[modest rune]

between smt

and persona

[blazing pawn]

theyre just different

they use different battle systems

SMT doesnt have the calendar system

[modest rune]

i thought they were literally the same

[blazing pawn]

Or social links

[modest rune]

like earthbound and mother

[blazing pawn]

Not really

the only similarity basically is like demons and fusing

Thats kinda it

[modest rune]

i dont have to play the early ones do i

[blazing pawn]

No

[modest rune]

ill play it otherwise

maybe even stream it

[blazing pawn]

all the SMT games are disconnected except for like SMT IV and IV apocalypse

[modest rune]

ive spent the last weeks

holding myself back

frim buying a forza setup

[meager sonnet]

LOL

My dad wants to

[modest rune]

maybe me and ur dad could share one

[meager sonnet]

Well

He hasn't gotten one

[blazing pawn]

november 2021

[meager sonnet]

Despite wanting one for ages

And me encouraging him

[blazing pawn]

max you could always play nocturne this summer

its already out on switch and steam

[meager sonnet]

He can be weird about spending LOL

[blazing pawn]

and its remastered

I will explain to you how not to fail

[modest rune]

i think if you want something for ages

[meager sonnet]

I got him an Oculus Quest for Christmas

So he could do VR racing as well

[modest rune]

and its not that expensive

you should just do it

life is short

[blazing pawn]

how much is a forza setup

[modest rune]

(assuming you can afford it ofc)

you can do okay (assuming you have a console or pc) for like

less than 500

[blazing pawn]

monkaS

[modest rune]

probably 300 would do

if youre willing to look for used stuff even less

[blazing pawn]

I guess i cant talk i just bought a 200 dollar sewing machine

[modest rune]

the wheel and peddles are expensive

oh

[blazing pawn]

But thats about as cheap as it gets without getting into like

[modest rune]

im also not including the price of forza

lmfao

[blazing pawn]

"not worth buying"

[modest rune]

yeah for sure

i dropped a ridiculous amount on a surfboard

hobbies are worth it

[blazing pawn]

I hope SMT V doesnt have like bad anime plot syndrome

Thats the thing i hate most about persona

[meager sonnet]

He has a PC

Pretty good one, the wheel and shifters and pedals are like, couple hundred on top of that, IDT he'd even need to hit 500

[blazing pawn]

the anime hijinks

[sharp mulch]

[modest rune]

okay hear me out moth

[sharp mulch]

Bad anime plot syndrome sounds fun

[modest rune]

ur an overpowered highschooler

[blazing pawn]

"tee hee boobs"

[meager sonnet]

I spend a fuckton on my PC and stuff

[blazing pawn]

Its not

[meager sonnet]

That's about it

[modest rune]

and you have a harem

[blazing pawn]

Its mostly just female characters getting harassed sexually

[modest rune]

does p5 have obvious harassment im not remembering

[blazing pawn]

Yes

[modest rune]

oh no

[blazing pawn]

Ann is basically forced to model for Yusuke by her friends

[modest rune]

oh

yes

right

[blazing pawn]

When shes like clearly uncomfortable with it

[modest rune]

yes

[blazing pawn]

Morgana being way too into her breasts and making sexual comments, stuff like that

There are also other bad anime moments like dating your teacher

[modest rune]

wait

what the fuck

morgana has boobs?

indidnt best the game remember

i didnt*

[blazing pawn]

No morgana is obsessed with anns breasts

[modest rune]

ohhhhh

okay

i was gonna say what a plot twist

[blazing pawn]

Its just like

unpleasant and weird

[modest rune]

yeah i agree

[blazing pawn]

I miss old persona this stuff wasnt in 1 and 2

But 1 and 2 have really bad gameplay

[modest rune]

lol

[blazing pawn]

P2 actually has a gay romance option

[modest rune]

youre like me all i want in life is a remake of fnv with better gameplay

[blazing pawn]

Probably one of the first in japanese gaming

or gaming in general

[meager sonnet]

I installed the gay mods for KOTOR

[blazing pawn]

Based

Are you going to date juhani

[modest rune]

imagine how much better fo4 couldve been if they didnt shoehorn every mechanic that was “in” at the time

[meager sonnet]

Bastilla I think

[modest rune]

crafting sucks

[meager sonnet]

IDK most of the characters, I'm not super far in

[modest rune]

also if they paid for better writers

[blazing pawn]

Why did every western RPG want to be minecraft in that period

[modest rune]

lmfao

[blazing pawn]

Have you left taris yet

Fallout NV letting you actually roleplay is so nice

Fallout 3 and 4 being like

"heres an incredibly specific predefined backstory"

was weird

Let me be a gay cowboy in peace bethesda

[meager sonnet]

SS13 greatest roleplay environment

[blazing pawn]

I kinda feel like mainstream RPGs dont seem to be very interested in letting you roleplay anymore which is a bad sad

[vagrant kestrel]

RPG means you upgrade a bunch of stats right?

[blazing pawn]

I guess it does now

Traditionally it means you create a character and... roleplay as them

Through dialogue and story

dialogue wheel

[meager sonnet]

This is why I never really liked video game RPGs much

I'd played TTRPGs

And roleplayed

And they felt nothing alike

[blazing pawn]

What video game RPGs have you played

there are definitely some that are much better at simulating that TTRPG experience than others

[meager sonnet]

Well

[modest rune]

fallout new vegas but no main quest at all

just vibes

[blazing pawn]

FNV is so epic

[meager sonnet]

Pretty much like Skyrim and FO4 were my first introductions to the video game ones

[blazing pawn]

you can literally ignore the main quest completely

And then still end up in vegas

[modest rune]

i love that they let yoy just like

kill anyone

[meager sonnet]

Which was why I didn't like the video game RPGs for a while

[modest rune]

and fail quests left and right

[blazing pawn]

Yea its so good max

[modest rune]

i hate invincible npcs in a “sandbox”

[meager sonnet]

In SS13 you can play the amazing range of personalities

[blazing pawn]

Im fine with it in non shooters where combat isnt like initiated by shooting

Its weird as fuck when you can randomly kill and attack most people but not the ones the game doesnt want you to

[meager sonnet]

It goes all the way from sadistic psychopath to more passive psychopath

[blazing pawn]

Fiona once you finish kotor you can play Kotor 2

its really good for roleplaying

[meager sonnet]

In a way SS13 is kinda like Paranoia

[blazing pawn]

Kotor 2 is so good

[meager sonnet]

When done right

[blazing pawn]

I will shill it till I die

[meager sonnet]

High RP servers are pretty bad for SS13

Nobody wants to do their simple mechanical job for hours before an antag gives them a reason to not

[blazing pawn]

I wish Star Wars galaxy was still around

id just roleplay as a jewler or something

I guess it still is

But im too lazy

[meager sonnet]

Ahh

[blazing pawn]

I do not understand complex analysis

[meager sonnet]

TBH I've never been super into star wars stuff

Legos IG

I don't have a ton of context for the games and such

It seems like most of the old republic stuff is totally independent of the other star wars things though

[blazing pawn]

It is

[meager sonnet]

What games do you play mostly moth

Like on a daily basis, what do you boot up and play?

[blazing pawn]

None

In a while

I havent even touched games for a while

[bronze pelican]

He plays Szamuely.pdf

[meager sonnet]

Ohhg

[blazing pawn]

sadge

[meager sonnet]

Rip

[blazing pawn]

literally

[meager sonnet]

I haven't played much singleplayer stuff

Mostly just OMORI intermittently

[blazing pawn]

I dont really like multiplayer games

I play them sometimes

But i prefer singleplayer

usually rpgs

[meager sonnet]

Ahhh

I'm other way around LOL

[summer nest]

@meager sonnet do you play battlefield 5?

[meager sonnet]

Nope

[summer nest]

Okayy

[meager sonnet]

I have a habit of just launching up the same games on instinct

And then playing those

[summer nest]

[meager sonnet]

Even when I'm getting burnt out

[toxic schooner]

which games are those?

[meager sonnet]

TF2

Warfork

Osu for a bit but I've started to enjoy gaem a lot more

[junior jolt]

hello

so i have a DE

and i want to maximise dr/dt

as time varies

is there an easy way to do that

the DE is this

,tex $ \left( \frac{dr}{dt} \right)^2 - \frac{2\mu}{r} = c^2 $

[meager sonnet]

Uhm

Prolly better to ask in #multivariable-calculus

[junior jolt]

o

[sharp mulch]

@deep mango I pushed

3.2 is still kind of short but I don't know what else there is to write

[meager sonnet]

Push?

Are you two collabing on git

[deep mango]

push!

📌

[meager sonnet]

Invite me invite me I will assist

[sharp mulch]

No

We're writing a paper

[deep mango]

highly confidential documents

[meager sonnet]

Yeah exactly just like.

Add me to repo

[sharp mulch]

...

[deep mango]

[meager sonnet]

I will make good diagram

[deep mango]

fiona dox artist?

[sharp mulch]

No self-dox at this point in time

[meager sonnet]

No author attribution required

[deep mango]

if only my github username were ryc

[sharp mulch]

If only my github username were Artisan of the Red Science

[deep mango]

yeah

[meager sonnet]

LMAO

Wait there's actually someone named RYC is that you

[blazing pawn]

its not

rycs github is ran yakumo chalkboard

[sharp mulch]

s

[blazing pawn]

ran yakumos chalkboard s

yes

[deep mango]

[cold needle]

chalkboard s

[sharp mulch]

Anyways

Let me know if there's anything I should add

Also you might want to try getting the figure to be in the proper place

[deep mango]

apparently this is me https://github.com/ryc

[sharp mulch]

There is no annals of applied math

[deep mango]

[neat lintel]

ryc doxxed

[cold needle]

Rakesh

[sharp mulch]

It's a bad journal

Acta Numerica

Hmmm

Acta might be a bit too specific

SIAm Review

Applied math people publish in JAMS/SIAM Review/CPAM/Acta Numerica

Some others for more specific things

Also sometimes you publish in the field that you are applying math to

[cold needle]

Word

[sharp mulch]

IEEE journals for example

Biometrika and Psychometrika

Molecular Systems Biology

It's hard to pin down

We were thinking NeuIPS

Maybe?

Or ICML

SPAA maybe but it's smaller

ESA

European Symposium of ALgorithms

NeuIPS is Neural Information Processing Symposium or something

ICML is International Conference on Machine Learning

CS has conferences

Where you submit to a conference

Present at the conference

Then you get published in the conference proceedings

Yeah

Our two advisors have had previous papers in Acta Numerica

But I feel like this work is not as appropriate

[meager sonnet]

Ange is your username a factorio reference by chance

[sharp mulch]

No...

I've never played factorio

[meager sonnet]

RIP

[sharp mulch]

It's a bit too industrial for me

Too much optimizing is not something I find fun

If I did I would just go into optimal control theory and IEOR

[meager sonnet]

You don't have to optimise a ton, I mostly play spaghetti mode

[sharp mulch]

[blazing pawn]

moth vs complex analysis

[meager sonnet]

Ange process engineering

[blazing pawn]

this is a hard arc

[sharp mulch]

Is it

[blazing pawn]

yes

[sharp mulch]

You can do all the proofs by cases for the 4 holomorphic functions

[blazing pawn]

Complex analysis is hard

Sheaves are also hard

together they are hard x 2

[cold needle]

lmao

[cold needle]

analysis arc

[blazing pawn]

I guess this kinda makes sense

local solutions of nth order differential equations give rise to a locally constant sheaf corresponding to a representation of pi_1(X, x) of dimension n

or a representation of pi_1(X, x) acting on an nth dimensional vector space idk i dont know the terminology

[glad jay]

anyone that couldd help with some questions

[meager sonnet]

I actually haven't seen anything really like

AT x DE before

That's kinda cool

[blazing pawn]

I think this is just one step of the meme where complex analysis is just algebra

[meager sonnet]

I'm guessing there's some sort of like, AG connection?

Ohh

[blazing pawn]

Or something

Maybe

have you seen sheaves fiona

[meager sonnet]

Yes

[blazing pawn]

have you seen locally constant sheaves

[meager sonnet]

Uhm

Some neighborhood of every point is constant right

[blazing pawn]

Yes

by restriction

[meager sonnet]

Yeah ok

[blazing pawn]

The meme is that

locally constant sheaves on a space X correspond to covers over X

correspond to sets with an action of the fundamental group on them

[meager sonnet]

Oh

[blazing pawn]

When your sheaf is valued in vector spaces you get actions of the fundamental group on vector spaces

[meager sonnet]

So really closely related to the homotopy stuff

Ahh

[blazing pawn]

I.e representations of pi_1

and you can show fairly easily that local systems of ODEs form a locally constant sheaf of complex vector spaces when X is semilocally simply connected

[meager sonnet]

Ahhh

[velvet dagger]

Exercise prove category of cov spaces is locally constant sheaves

[blazing pawn]

I did that literally yesterday dami

[meager sonnet]

Well I'll take your word for it on the last bit, I couldn't solve a simple ODE to save my life

[blazing pawn]

Well it wasnt an exercise but i saw it

you dont need to solve any fiona

its just a matter of like patching together functions

and also like observing that local solutions form a complex vector space but thats pretty easy

[meager sonnet]

Yeah I know like no DE stuff whatsoever LOL

Ok so is there some nice category brain way of thinking about the locally constant sheaf and homotopy thing

[blazing pawn]

Yes

[meager sonnet]

Like Functor

Just gimme a functor

[blazing pawn]

the category of locally constant sheafs is equivalent to actions of pi_1 on sets by sending each point to its stalk and taking the monodromy action

[meager sonnet]

Ahhhh

Ok that helps

[blazing pawn]

alternatively to covers by taking the disjoint union of all the stalks and then mapping each stalk to the corresponding point

for the covering space and the covering map respectively

locally constant gives you that its a cover

[meager sonnet]

Oh nice

[blazing pawn]

Yes

[meager sonnet]

PCLPCSLSC

[blazing pawn]

category of pi_1(X, x) sets varying over x is equivalent to thoes functors or something

[meager sonnet]

Huh

[blazing pawn]

idk the meme version is like you get the equivalence of covers and functors Pi_1(X) -> Set by taking a cover and then sending each point to its fiber

[meager sonnet]

So where are you learning this sort of stuff?

[blazing pawn]

and then paths give functions between fibers by taking monodromy

[meager sonnet]

You did Tom Dieck and some complex anal book right?

[blazing pawn]

This is in szamuely

galois groups and fund. groups

tom dieck did more covering stuff

[meager sonnet]

Ahh

I mostly just skim Hatcher

I did actually get a book on like, point set topological categorically

It's really weird

[blazing pawn]

hatcher is the opposite of category brained

[meager sonnet]

True

I kinda like

Tune out when it's asking for explicit loops and stuff

[blazing pawn]

visual intuition si good though

[meager sonnet]

Manually crunching maps and homotopies

[blazing pawn]

and computations are important as well

[meager sonnet]

IDK yeah I mostly have visual intuition from it

I should read Dieck then

Sounds like it's more along my interests

[blazing pawn]

Yea

but

hatcher is good for learning how to coompute

[blazing pawn]

MonkaS

[meager sonnet]

I got these books from bookstore a few days ago but they were mostly impulse buy

[blazing pawn]

i learned about differential forms but i have no intuition for them at all

like at all at all

[meager sonnet]

I've read a bit and still have no idea yeah

I should like

Retake calc and everything

(which I will be doing in the fall)

[blazing pawn]

calculus is literally not even real

its made up

[meager sonnet]

Yeah but for diff forms my brain goes grrrrrrr bzrrrt when they even like, mention chain rule as an explanation for something

[blazing pawn]

i learned that stuff in diff top

[meager sonnet]

Oh

[blazing pawn]

tbh doing diff top with zero analysis was a meme but i did it successfully

so

well.

semi successfully

[meager sonnet]

LOL

Also aren't you like

Even younger than me and Ari

Giga prodigy moment

[rancid meadow]

fiona I thought you were old?

[meager sonnet]

No

I'm 19

[velvet dagger]

c h i l d

[meager sonnet]

[rancid meadow]

oh wtf we're the same age

[meager sonnet]

Ayyyy

[blazing pawn]

Im 16

I turn 17 in uhh

[rancid meadow]

I thought you were like mid 20s

[meager sonnet]

Yeah ok genius moth

[blazing pawn]

a week and 3 days

[rancid meadow]

genius moth

[blazing pawn]

No

I just read books

Its just nolifing

[meager sonnet]

Nah still incredibly impressive

Most 16 year olds I know are like

What maths is that actually in normal HS

IDR

Calc is junior or senior year?

I think

[deep mango]

When people ask what I spend my time doing this summer

[rancid meadow]

i was probably struggling to grasp derivatives when I was 16

[meager sonnet]

I say crying even though I can't really cry anymore

[deep mango]

I try to make this server sound cool by saying im in a community which has math people so smart that even high schoolers are studying grad level math

When in reality I'm talking about like 4 out of 50k people

Oh well

[rancid meadow]

you talk about this server to other people?

nerd

[blazing pawn]

I still dont understand derivatives

[deep mango]

What else am I supposed to answer

[blazing pawn]

What is analysis

[deep mango]

Oh yeah I play video games and watch survivor. Wow

[rancid meadow]

slope of the curve ro soemthing moth

[deep mango]

I dont tell then it's a discord server

I just say online math community

[meager sonnet]

My friends from other servers and stuff all know I mod this server and dread maths convos

[rancid meadow]

idk i just imagine it as a functor Moth, its more intuitive

[velvet dagger]

Hegel's probably the smartest 7 year old I've met in a while

[blazing pawn]

gamer moment

[deep mango]

Functor from Pointed Smooth Manifolds to Finite Dim Vector Spaces.

[meager sonnet]

A bunch of my IRL friends were very happy about taking their last required math class

[blazing pawn]

one day ill start rudin ch 4

[meager sonnet]

And then I'm like

Oh yeah I wanna do more maths

[velvet dagger]

Lmao what a nerd

[blazing pawn]

This is so confusing

[deep mango]

It's not a natural transformation

[rancid meadow]

yeah I think thats wrong

[deep mango]

It's literally a functor

[velvet dagger]

What is "it" in this setting?

[rancid meadow]

i have no proof besides the fact that I ctrl+f'd "natural transformation" on the nlab article

[blazing pawn]

derivative im assuming

[rancid meadow]

differentiation

[velvet dagger]

If we're on manifolds

[deep mango]

A functor is a natural transformation between the functor from one category to the trivial monoid, to the functor from another category to the trivial monoid.

[velvet dagger]

Then yeah you have a functor from the category of smooth manifolds to itself

[deep mango]

If that's true I'm very angry

[velvet dagger]

Which sends X to its tangent bundle

And f to the derivative

[rancid meadow]

that seems unnecessarily complex ryc

[deep mango]

Not taking pointed Mfld

[velvet dagger]

Oh you're taking derivative at a point?

That works too

[deep mango]

Who isnt

[velvet dagger]

When I think of "the derivative" of a smooth function

[deep mango]

Tangent bundles are awful

[meager sonnet]

Yeah I believe the normal interpretation is endofunctor on category of smooth manifolds

Well

[velvet dagger]

Well

The normal interpretation is you don't use category theory

[rancid meadow]

normal interpretation

[meager sonnet]

As canonical as category derivative gets

[velvet dagger]

Waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

The derivative is a copresheaf from the category of smooth manifolds to itself

[blazing pawn]

Stop

[velvet dagger]

[deep mango]

[dense belfry]

[blazing pawn]

something is wrong with you

[meager sonnet]

Damn I just realized, sad nozomi has significantly eclipsed smol nozomi in my frequent emotes

[blazing pawn]

anyway what the hell is going on here

[meager sonnet]

Who

[blazing pawn]

we have antiderivatives F- and F+ of f defined on U- and U+

[velvet dagger]

Hegel two primitives of the same function must differ by a constant

[blazing pawn]

Yes

But whats going on with the agreeing on one component

and not the other

[velvet dagger]

They're on different domains

[deep mango]

No.

[velvet dagger]

The point is if you restrict to a connected component of the intersection

Now they're both primitives of f\mid_{component}

[blazing pawn]

natural transformation in the category sully

[velvet dagger]

And differ by a constant there

So you translate

[deep mango]

[velvet dagger]

You get me?

[deep mango]

So even dumber than what I said

Ok

For the record, what I said was very very dumb

[velvet dagger]

Recorded

[meager sonnet]

Reject DSM-V, this is the new mental health metric

[blazing pawn]

So we define local primitives on D and then take intersections to get a bunch of components and since our primitives differ up to a constant we can choose them such that theyre equal on all the intersections?

[velvet dagger]

But yeah @blazing pawn the way to think about it is, if U is a connected open set and F' = G' on U, then F-G is a constant

[meager sonnet]

Identity natural transformation encoding an object in the copresheaf category smh

[velvet dagger]

So now F_- and F_+ differ by some constant on C_-

And by some constant on C_+

[deep mango]

My emote frequency rankings are very nice to see to do self-checkins during the day

[velvet dagger]

You can't guarantee they're the same context

[blazing pawn]

how does the last sentence follow

so we can choose them to be equal on at least one component

sure

[velvet dagger]

$\exp(F_- + c) = A\exp(F_-)$

[fathom swallow]

Sloth King Daminark

[blazing pawn]

Oh

Yeah

Ok

e^c

[meager sonnet]

Lack of technology?

Like

More modern tools?

Ahh

[deep mango]

cartan 10th grade highschooler?

[meager sonnet]

Ouch

Well at least it was cheap

[arctic ginkgo]

Guys I need some advice

What's the most efficient way to revise a lot of chapters for an exam?

[rancid meadow]

reading them

probably

the most efficient way to study is to not ask questions about how to study and instead spend that time and brain power on actually doing it

[cold needle]

i suppose skimming is more appropriate if there's less time

[arctic ginkgo]

They aren't theoru

[rancid meadow]

just do the problems

[arctic ginkgo]

More like numericals

[cold needle]

and then taking brief bullet points might work whenever you see something important

o

[arctic ginkgo]

Yes ik that much but do I do questions of all the chapters or first the important ones or should I take a particular subject first, I am confused

I have like 70 chapters to cover

[rancid meadow]

what the fuck

lmao

70??

[arctic ginkgo]

Yep

[rancid meadow]

what is this exam on? the entire k - 12 curicculum? lmao

[arctic ginkgo]

The exam has chem, phy and math

[rancid meadow]

i mean just pick the ones you know you suck at and do those first

[arctic ginkgo]

So yeah a lot of pressure

[astral marsh]

@azure kettle ezreal is just too fun

i remember ezreal was basically my first ever main in league

now im coming back to him, funny lol

[mortal oasis]

Just cheat

[cold needle]

font change?

[rancid meadow]

old news

did you just update discord?

lol

[cold needle]

idk i didn't notice till now

[rancid meadow]

yeah they changed font a while ago

[cold needle]

i did have it updated though

interesiting

[rancid meadow]

it's a bit cartooney for me but /shrug

[vagrant kestrel]

yes now there are 3 different fonts

[rancid meadow]

i believe it's called a grotesque font

in typographic language

[cold needle]

ic

[neat lintel]

disgusting

[modest rune]

idgi

[rancid meadow]

math your hair is very surfer-dude now

[modest rune]

mathJ

[rancid meadow]

i was reading the picture tterra sent and typing the message

whoops

[meager sonnet]

MathJ

How mad would you be if I made that your nickname

[modest rune]

i made it even surfery

i can change it back do idk why id get mad

[meager sonnet]

[rancid meadow]

i am very mad that i missed the model theory huddle talk on types & saturation and the one on stability theory

did you end up going max?

[meager sonnet]

The baseball cap also looks like skateboarder

[modest rune]

no i forgot

i cant manage a schedule rn

life is too fake

my existence is too liminal

[modest rune]

its a Laguna Beach Surf brand hat

[meager sonnet]

Oh

Huh

[modest rune]

skaters are just wannabe surfers

surfing and surfing culture are much older

[meager sonnet]

LOL

True ig

[dense belfry]

I forgot about SMTH also

[meager sonnet]

IDK if that means skating = wannabe surfing though

[modest rune]

i think these online programs have to be wayyyy more aggressive with emails

[meager sonnet]

I'm a biker (cool)

[modest rune]

the facts are independently true

[meager sonnet]

I'll take your word for it I guess

[modest rune]

i mean skaters wouldnt agree

[cold needle]

skating comes from surfing right

historically

[modest rune]

but arizonans pretend they arent wanna be califonrians

[meager sonnet]

LOL

[modest rune]

yeah metal

[cold needle]

i thought the idea was like you were surfing on land so they put wheels on it

i see

[modest rune]

i think skating is cool but if a skater acted like I was “acting like a skater” theyd be dumb

is more my point

lots of people do both

[meager sonnet]

I've mostly seen skaters so that's what came to mind, tbh

No surfing where I live LOL

[modest rune]

fair

if i start wearing like

cuffed pants and vans

[meager sonnet]

Imagine having water

Couldn't be us

[modest rune]

thats skater culture

the two kinda fuse tho

[meager sonnet]

Unless you wanna surf down some glacial waterfall at 12,000 feet
