#

sad, no. You can reactivate some signal stuff but u can't reactivate the sunbeam area's signal

deep mango
#

Hmm

#

Maybe you can look up the general direction of the island or something

#

Relative to the aurora

#

hey, random question: i don't know where this belongs, but where should i ask whether people want to study a certain textbook with me? should i ask in the corresponding topic's channel?

inner finch
#

i am also seeing a lot of

#

sharks in the direction im going

#

so shud probably fuck off back home

summer nest
#

What's the game's objective?

inner finch
#

idk bro

#

not get eaten

#

🧠

summer nest
#

😌

#

Good enough

inner finch
#

I just saw like

#

5 sharks

#

Quitting out of the game to load the savestate back at home

#

fuck that shit

summer nest
inner finch
#

literal hellscape

#

alright mission successful i got to the damn stinky place

#

Built a beacon :nice:

#

there is this fucking idiot manatee looking thing that always hangs out around my base and makes a lot of noise

#

it literally never leaves

#

it just swims in circles

#

wtf

#

i guess it's my pet now

#

i will name it ben shapiro

summer nest
#

Don't you have weapons in the game?

inner finch
#

yea but im not gonna kill manatee friend

summer nest
#

Ok I was asking more generally

#

There are sharks that attack you and shit

inner finch
#

maybe the sharks just want a hug

they care more now probably with optional standardized tests

#

i wouldnt be too bothered tho

#

What if you run out of food and water

summer nest
#

I guess that's when the game ends stare

limpid venture
#

Best course of action is to never get on the ship in the first place

I think this largely depends on what school you apply to

#

However in terms of importance - they are the least importance for your HS career

#

Nice stare

#

Ok I just need some general advice. It's not an emotional dump or plea for acceptance, just need to know what I'm doing wrong here

crystal stone
#

It's you, you're the problem! You need to fix yourself. Don't put it on others

#

Oh wait

#

You haven't started

#

||Go on||

#

I'm memeing you. Ok srs time

summer nest
#

How does anyone get into a a social circle without being invited? And when is it a sign to give up/move on?

deep mango
#

that is a complicated question

crystal stone
#

You gotta treat it like good hunting, ya gotta isolate one or two from the pack

neat lintel
#

what is a social circle

crystal stone
#

Go out with them, have a good time

#

Word will spread you're cool

#

Then rinse and repeat

deep mango
crystal stone
#

Until you know like 60-75% of the circle

summer nest
crystal stone
#

Then you'll be included

#

Big fat RIP

deep mango
summer nest
#

Got separated because I don't have much to talk about

deep mango
#

so if you have a shared class with two people in the social circle, and another shared class with another few people

#

you are helpful / cordial with both

#

and they mention you to one another

crystal stone
#

If you don't have much to talk about, then you gotta plan an event with little talking. Movies, concerts, etc.

summer nest
#

Okayy

#

So events make topics

neat lintel
#

you can also always bring some corn in your pocket

#

and throw at them once in a while

#

it'll make you more likeable and create trust

summer nest
deep mango
#

make sure to go on and on to them about trashy reality tv shows and how they're not actually that bad, that will surely get you friends.

summer nest
#

Yeah I have a hard time justifying trash

#

Not being elitist

#

But just talking about trash shows and celebrities isn't my thing

deep mango
#

perhaps you need elitist friends

summer nest
deep mango
#

people with whom you can turn up your nose

#

at all the passerbys

narrow rock
#

that could work ye

summer nest
#

I said I'm not being one. Am I being an elitist?

deep mango
#

no you aren't

#

but elitist friends are great

#

they buy each other dinner and stuff

neat lintel
#

just go on the streets and kiss everyone you find on the mouth

#

eventually you'll fond a friend

crystal stone
#

I don't know what it's like being socially timid, I just walk up to people and start talkin' to them if I wanna hang out

#

And then plan it

deep mango
#

typical texan.

narrow rock
#

get into lifting

#

and talk about that

crystal stone
#

I'm not from Texas, I'm from Los Angeles RYC

deep mango

you're still a typical texan though

#

just go and talk to each other

narrow rock

it is super easy to talk about lifting

deep mango
crystal stone
#

Go to the opera if they're elitist

deep mango
#

😎

#

yes. the opera!

summer nest
neat lintel
#

idk you need to know some topology to talk about lifting

#

or category theory

crystal stone
#

I think social media makes people anti-social

#

Bro wants you to lift

#

You lift bro?

summer nest

but yeah researcher im not joking

#

get into lifting and youll have plenty to talk about

summer nest
#

Still in the noob phase though. Practicing scales and some songs

narrow rock
#

team sports force you to make friends

crystal stone
#

It's fine - but I like brofib's suggestions. Get an activity going w/ people

neat lintel

play eruption

summer nest
#

Music classes?

narrow rock
#

if it has other people in it

cold needle
#

music classes r good

crystal stone
#

Music classes are a great way

narrow rock
#

then yes

cold needle
#

but eventually you want to be playing music with others too

crystal stone
#

Also tends to keep down the talking

#

Gym membership and exercise classes are good too

#

Also another thing that happened recently

#

I..umm.. don't feel comfortable talking about it

#

Ok

#

Well I hope your team has better odds of winning

#

Why

crystal stone
#

It's not enough that his team shall succeed

#

but that enemy teams shall fail

summer nest
#

Yeah but why so much hatred for a team?

#

Did they cheat?

#

Like Ferrari in F1 cheated and got away with it

#

And they're elitist with their cars

narrow rock
#

the fuel thing?

summer nest
#

I hate them

summer nest
#

Getting around fuel flow restrictions

narrow rock
#

they werent cheating tho

summer nest
#

Really?

#

How not?

#

They were getting faster speeds in straights

narrow rock
#

ye

#

by being smart

summer nest
#

🤔

#

Pumping more fuel when the flow regulation device isn't scanning is not cheating?

narrow rock
#

if the rule is "the flow regulation device should say everything's okay", then they werent cheating

summer nest
narrow rock
#

it's a loophole

summer nest
#

Brofibration walking the path of Saul Goodman

#

😌

narrow rock
#

what redbull did was super big-brained tho

summer nest
#

"sir we found loophole what happens if we use it?"

crystal stone
#

I'm inclined to agree with Brofib here

summer nest
#

"Red hammer"

summer nest
#

Changed my mind

#

@crystal stone another question if you don't mind

crystal stone
#

sure

summer nest
#

Is it too superficial to want to get into a good University for a good social circle of similar people? Or is it reasonable?

crystal stone
#

It's not superficial to want to have a good social circle. It depends on what you mean by good University

#

If you're defining good University to mean: there's a good community, the education is challenging, and the profs are engaging

summer nest
#

Yes

#

That

crystal stone
#

Then that's not superficiality

narrow rock
#

I am go to harvards

crystal stone
#

Superficiality is saying I want "X University because only the best can get in and I'm the best"

summer nest
#

I want professors to make me feel like there's a lot of learn

crystal stone
#

That's not superficial

summer nest
crystal stone
#

Sure, I was just giving an example of what superficiality is

summer nest
#

Okayy

crystal stone
#

Maybe more subtle for you might be "UCLA is the best school for me because the math department is very good"

#

That could be true

summer nest
#

Yeahh that's an accurate reason I can feel

velvet dagger
#

Wherever I go is the best university because I'm the best

crystal stone
#

It wasn't true for me, I probably would have been better off at LB or Irvine - but I learned a lot of things at LA that I wouldn't have elsewhere

crystal stone
#

But it can still be a double-edged sword

#

UCLA might be a wonderful environment for you

#

Or it might drive you to severe burn out

summer nest
#

Okayy

crystal stone
#

It's hard to say without going somewhere. All you can do is make the best approximation you can

#

I chose to attend Orange Coast College for water polo

#

I chose to attend UCLA for financial aid reasons (and pride, tbh)

summer nest
#

Ohh

crystal stone
#

I chose to attend CSULB for financial aid and other bureaucratic reasons

sacred geyser
#

i thought i wanted to go to some school in CA like Berkeley, but in hindsight I probably wouldn't have adjusted very well and im perfectly fine where i ended up

crystal stone
#

Of the CSULB gave me the best math education for where I was at

summer nest
#

I want to get into a university in Canada for employment and immigration reasons. Also to learn maths

crystal stone
#

Of the three*

#

Now, CSULB is nowhere nearly ranked as well as UCLA - nor are there that many active researchers

#

But there was a community that I felt I could thrive in, and professors I found engaging

#

I didn't end up producing any piece of original math during my time at LA

summer nest
crystal stone
#

But I did at LB and Irvine. Maybe it was because of my training at LA I was able to do that

summer nest
#

Ohh catThink

crystal stone
#

It's hard to say

summer nest
#

That's good

#

I should search for unis that take me in MSc maths after BE

crystal stone
#

Canadia looks like fun

summer nest
#

I don't know if they do that in Canada

crystal stone
#

At least when the furnace isn't on

summer nest
#

50°C

#

Also, will any of my given reasons justify doing another bachelors?

#

Because I probably don't have enough grades in my engineering

sacred geyser
#

how much more time would that be

summer nest
#

3 years

#

I don't feel like I'm thinking clearly

#

Like, I like maths. But I don't know if I can justify my interest with 3 years of extra grind

sacred geyser
#

i wouldn't want to do that personally

#

are you thinking math grad instead of engineering?

summer nest
#

Yes

sacred geyser
#

gotcha

summer nest
#

I don't like engineering

sacred geyser
#

i found that out early on yeah

summer nest
#

Though I'm just a year away from getting a BE

#

Just feels like I've fell into a big pile of horse shit

#

@crystal stone got any take on this?

I took a nap

nice

#

i wish i could take naps

#

when i take naps i can feel my blood pump inside of me harder

#

idk what it is

#

either it's my heart rate increasing or maybe my blood pressure increasing

#

and i wake up feeling less relieved

#

so maybe naps aren't good for me

in any case

just complex

tfw marxist leninist inequality

cold needle

oh this looks cute

#

but i dont get it

#

its analytic

#

wtf r u suppsoed to do

#

ng pls explain the memes

vivid halo
#

hint: can you rotate the contour so that this becomes a Gaussian integral?

cold needle
#

it looks similar to the real bell curve one, is it the same trick

pale orchid
#

that's why i thought you expand it as a laurent series and do the residual of a closed loop that includes the real line

cold needle
#

yeah gaussian one

#

hmm

atomic cypress
#

Entering my 3rd year of PhD 😭

pale orchid
#

and use ML ineq to show the complex chonk is 0

vivid halo
atomic cypress
#

I finished my quals immediately though.

vivid halo
#

oh nice

#

I was a bit slow with them because uhhh

atomic cypress
#

We used to have a 30% failure rate but I got lucky

#

all the questions were exactly those I practiced

inner finch
vivid halo
#

most of my attempts were killed by family emergency happening around that time and then being a mess during the lockdown

#

it's alright though I should be able to finish them off this time

#

I have two more attempts nozoomi

#

paper soon fbkshake

inner finch
atomic cypress
#

I haven't published in 1.5 years

pale orchid
#

what are qualifiers?

atomic cypress
#

Tests you take so they don't boot you from your PhD program.

pale orchid
#

huh, i'd never heard of that

atomic cypress
#

Depending on the department it ranges from a formality, to a lethal exam that boots like 1/2 of the kids or more.

vivid halo
#

it's standard

pale orchid
#

and i start my third year soon

atomic cypress
#

Some departments also don't do qualifiers. I think Cornell has none.

vivid halo
#

^

cold needle
#

u can just do integral over imaginary axis right

#

then u get the -x^2

vivid halo
#

yea

inner finch
#

edd is just goated bro

cold needle
#

but its like

#

a figure 8 or something

inner finch
#

he doesn't need to take the quals

vivid halo
#

mhm

cold needle
#

i guess from there its just contour surgery

#

uhhh maybe theres some ML inequality/jordan lemma or something for the curvy bits

vivid halo
#

yea the integrals over the remaining two go to 0 as R->infinity so then you're done

inner finch
#

wtf is ML inequality

cold needle
#

cool

#

this is cute ng yes

vivid halo
#

but yea it's cute that you can rotate a highly oscillatory integral to a rapidly converging integral

cold needle
#

ML inequality is a bounding argument

pale orchid
#

you give an upper bound for an integral as the length times the largest magnitude

inner finch
#

what does it stand for tho

pale orchid
#

and show that goes to 0, so the integral is 0

vagrant kestrel
#

aren't lots of complex functions super wiggly in one direction

pale orchid
#

Maximum value on contour * Length of contour

or smth

#

o i see

this is true for real valued integrals too

#

but for whatever reason i never saw this until complex variables class 💀

#

yeah my grad school didn't have any quals

atomic cypress
#

Most departments don't have quals.

#

Math and physics are unique for having quals.

deep mango
#

🤨

pale orchid
#

"it's standard" and "most depts don't have it"

forest jackal
#

although my old advisors first student was really bad so he exploited a loophole to make him sit an exam which led to him getting booted.

atomic cypress
#

I meant most fields don't have quals.

#

Most math departments specifically do.

forest jackal
#

like struggling with multivariable calc level of really bad.

pale orchid
#

icic

atomic cypress
#

In the US at least.

vivid halo
#

Europe doesn't do quals

#

quals are pretty specific to the US

pale orchid
#

aha

vivid halo
#

for the most part

pale orchid
#

that's it

atomic cypress
#

They're good, they kick out all the brainlets, and they also occasionally kick out actual geniuses.

pale orchid
#

smh, the states doing weird stuff

atomic cypress
#

Which is always funny when it happens.

forest jackal
#

yeah in the US it is definitely the norm, but the structure is also different there from most other countries.

#

its a lot longer before you settle with an advisor, there is a decent amount of grad coursework at the start etc.

#

and the whole process is longer

vagrant kestrel
#

why not replace the GRE with a nation-wide qual

atomic cypress
#

We had a math kid coming in already publishing single author papers on his own time, and he fucked up the functional analysis qual and got kicked out.

pale orchid
#

you mean like in a handful of asian countries

vivid halo
#

yea I sort of started writing this paper (and some other papers) immediately when I started grad school, so I sort of spent some of the time I could have spent doing quals early on doing research

pale orchid
#

everyone hates it

vivid halo
#

(and doing research slowly, for that matter)

atomic cypress
#

He fucked it up like 4 times, so it's not like it wasn't his fault, but he obviously was capable of doing research.

#

And good research too.

#

Anyways pretty funny.

that's fucked up lol

if somehow I didn't pass my quals by the end of the year

#

which would be ???

#

but like

#

I'd be going to Toronto

vagrant kestrel
#

uh oh

vivid halo
#

(unless not passing quals means my department narcs on me to Toronto)

#

idk how that works lol

forest jackal
#

lol that'd be a bit harsh of them

pale orchid
#

move to europe

vivid halo
#

but I should be able to be done after this time

#

just one more nozoomi

forest jackal
#

I feel like they will generally let things slide in that sort of circumstance unless there are many people in the dept who don't believe in you/

vivid halo
#

I mean the move would be to uhhh not get into that situation in the first place monkey

forest jackal
#

yeah ofc

pale orchid
atomic cypress
#

Other fun PhD stories, we had a kid who did absolutely no research, spent his entire PhD time collecting masters degrees.

#

He eventually wrote a meme thesis and graduated with like 4 free MSes

vivid halo
#

lmfaooo

forest jackal
#

well good for him, although I feel bad for his advisor if there wasn't open communication about his intentions / changing intentions, if decisions were made in the middle of the program.

inner finch
#

🧠

atomic cypress
#

I think his advisor either didn't care or knew about the plan.

vagrant kestrel
#

no research% is a good speedrun category

forest jackal
#

yeah some advisors are chill about these things, it'd depend a lot on their current career goals and what stage of career they are in.

@atomic cypress what's your research area?

i'm doing some inverse scattering junk rn and stochastic pdes (which i know nothing about) have popped up here and there

velvet dagger
#

My research may or may not have to do with quantum chaos/semiclassical analysis

pale orchid
#

quantum semiclassics

velvet dagger
#

Which is a different flavor I imagine from your style but maybe you use tools from the area? Idk

limber perch
#

me and this prof were "researching" something with ergodic theory

#

and randomly he goes "this can probably be proved with quantum chaos"

#

apparently they're related?

atomic cypress
#

It's probably different, I know some people go down hard the harmonic/semiclassical analysis route. I'm more on the geometry side, trying to force gauge-like invariances in dispersive PDEs using stochastic methods.

velvet dagger
#

Nice nice

#

Yeah my stuff isn't likely gonna be actually physical

#

More arithmetic

#

Until I need NSF money

#

Then it's very physical

atomic cypress
#

More fun PhD stories, a team at our uni got a DARPA grant to build a military sensor control system. However, upon careful reading of the contract, they realized they could fulfill the grant by proving that some control system satisfying the requirement exists.

They did provide a totally non-constructive proof, and DARPA considered the project complete.

velvet dagger
#

That's hysterical

#

Did they go for that because it was easier? Or out of moral concerns?

You know how to play the game.

#

My advisor is trying to teach me.

#

I'm not very good at it yet, I don't know what peeps like to fund.

So far I've been coasting off my advisor's skills at getting grant money, which is top tier.

Oh idk if that was actually correct, I've never tried playing this game before

I haven't published shit lol

You know it actually sounds super plausible, machine learning people actually do run manifold <-> network correspondences.

velvet dagger
#

My advisor kinda hinted that one area I could end up going toward is "quantum chaos on graphs and Bruhat-Tits buildings"

#

It's one among various things he has in mind

#

And probably one of the more appealing ones to me? I like combinatorics 😛

atomic cypress
#

I can't even count up to 20, much less do combinatorics.

velvet dagger
#

So yeah idk it feels like you either talk about dynamics of quantum states on manifolds

#

And harp on the physics

#

Or you harp on the computer science side by replacing every instance of the word "graph" with "network"

#

Especially if you can pretend it has something to do with quantum information theory or something

atomic cypress
#

I'm lucky right now because there's an actual engineering application to my research, though even if my research fails and I prove my conjecture false people will still use the application because it looks like it works.

It does mean though I won't have to worry about grants for a bit.

velvet dagger
#

@forest jackal do you bs the physics when you need grant money?

forest jackal
#

a little, but I don't put too much effort into doing so.

velvet dagger
#

That's convenient! So far I haven't really needed grant money tbh

#

I'm a TA and that's where my stipend comes from. Plus this last year I didn't pay rent since i was with parents so I've got a bit saved up for sure

forest jackal
#

obviously doing good research and getting a TT position is higher priority (and more fun).

#

financially I am comfortable atm, and work with people who have great grant money.

velvet dagger
#

How much does grant-writing influence your ability to get a TT position?

#

Like I assume in general for math people the salary is very comfortable even with 0 grant money

atomic cypress
#

Yeah, the grant money is used for hiring postdocs.

forest jackal
#

not as much as strong research that's for sure. grant writing is something you develop over your career and is more important later on.

velvet dagger
#

Gotcha

atomic cypress
#

strong research

You don't have to call me out like this.

velvet dagger
#

That's I guess good lol. I thought it was largely expected that you could rake in grant money if you wanted to have a decent shot, along with the good research

#

Which feels intimidating

forest jackal
#

like obviously very important when you are building a research team of your own

#

well TT should feel intimidating, it's fucking hard haha.

velvet dagger
#

Yeah for sure, getting grad students out of TA loads, summer funding, postdocs. But yeah if they don't expect you to be getting grants left and right as a postdoc in order to have a shot at TT that's good

Honestly if quantum chaos on graphs has applications to CS that would be pretty cool

All we need Gomez to do is to try to write down "the Riemann hypothesis is true", then we'd have confirmation.

How do you tackle math exams? Asking this because I can usually solve most exercises and homework by myself, but during an exam, mostly because of the time constraint, I can't manage to grasp the "path" to the solution in a reasonable time and I usually end up with like 80/85% of the total score.

I've written my notes and some of them seem quite cryptic to me now

vast surge
# neat lintel cheese is amazing

Ordinarily, I would agree with this statement. Throughout most of my life, I have lived off of a diet of primarily bread and cheese, with very little other sustenance. I was particularly fond of cheeses from Switzerland. Upon returning to America, however, I have discovered the unfortunate truth that cheese is capable of being bad. Even Wisconsin cheese, which is meant to be among the best cheese in America, is inferior to even average cheeses from Europe. I would argue that the primary reason for this difference in taste is the pasteurization process.

See, in America, cheese is made from pasteurized milk, and it is illegal to sell or make cheese from unpasteurized milk. In most of the cheese-producing portions of Europe, they use pasteurized milk. While nominally the reason for this is to prevent people from getting sick, if dairy-producing animals and dairy-producing equipment is kept in sanitary conditions, there is virtually no risk of bacterial spread. Rather, I suspect that this change (while certainly sensible in the 1800s) is merely kept in order to prop up the American cheese industry, and especially the Wisconsin cheese industry, which would not be able to survive if it were easy and legal to import European cheeses.

Perhaps there is a secondary reason for the inferiority of American cheeses, however - even the good ones are often milder in taste. Where American food is often more adventurous in having lots of flavours (see, for example, the variety of available pizza toppings or oreo flavours), there seems to be a preference for the blandest, most over-processed cheese possible. Kraft Singles are utterly disgusting, but if that's the only cheese one has been exposed to, one would become used to it, and so even the producers of (relatively) high quality cheese in America are aiming for the over-processed flavour of Kraft singles.

Noticeably, it's not just in the cheese department that America is inferior to products from Europe. American charcuterie is both more expensive and of a lower quality as well, in my experience, which leaves very few options to pair the cheese with. Likewise, American bread is most frequently the mass-produced, pre-sliced wonderbread variety of bread, as opposed to the hand-baked and hand-kneaded bread. Even more than that, it's always white bread, with no grains and very little flavour aside from perhaps a slight sweetness. (In fact, the Irish government classifies many American breads as being more accurately cakes).

In summary, the statement "cheese is amazing" should not be taken as a blanket endorsement, depending on the geographic region. Cheese has the potential to be amazing, and cheese often is amazing. As I have learned since moving to America for college, cheese is also capable of being utterly disappointing.

Owdinawiwy, me wouwd agwee with dis statement. Thwoughout most of my wife, me have wived off of a diet of pwimawiwy bwead and cheese, with vewy wittwe othew sustenance. Me was pawticuwawwy fond of cheeses fwom switzewwand. Upon wetuwning to amewica, howevew, me have discovewed da unfowtunate twuth that cheese ish capabwe of being bad. Even wisconsin cheese, which ish meant to be among da best cheese in amewica, ish infewiow to even avewage cheeses fwom euwope. Me wouwd awgue that da pwimawy weason fow dis diffewence in taste ish da pasteuwization pwocess.

see, in amewica, cheese ish made fwom pasteuwized miwk, and it ish iwwegaw to seww ow make cheese fwom unpasteuwized miwk. In most of da cheese-pwoducing powtions of euwope, dey use pasteuwized miwk. Whiwe nominawwy da weason fow dis ish to pwevent peopwe fwom getting sick, if daiwy-pwoducing animaws and daiwy-pwoducing equipment ish kept in sanitawy conditions, thewe ish viwtuawwy no wisk of bactewiaw spwead. Rathew, me suspect that dis change (whiwe cewtainwy sensibwe in da 1800s) ish mewewy kept in owdew to pwop up da amewican cheese industwy, and especiawwy da wisconsin cheese industwy, which wouwd not be abwe to suwvive if it wewe easy and wegaw to impowt euwopean cheeses.hewwo ish anybowdy thewe??

#

Pewhaps thewe ish a secondawy weason fow da infewiowity of amewican cheeses, howevew - even da gud ones awe often miwdew in taste. Whewe amewican food ish often mowe adventuwous in having wots of fwavouws, thewe seems to be a pwefewence fow da bwandest, most ovew-pwocessed cheese possibwe. Kwaft singwes awe uttewwy disgusting, but if dats da onwy cheese one has been exposed to, one wouwd become used to it, and so even da pwoducews of (wewativewy) high quawity cheese in amewica awe aiming fow da ovew-pwocessed fwavouw of kwaft singwes.

noticeabwy, it's not just in da cheese depawtment that amewica ish infewiow to pwoducts fwom euwope. Amewican chawcutewie ish both mowe expensive and of a wowew quawity as weww, in my expewience, which weaves vewy few options to paiw da cheese with. Likewise, amewican bwead ish most fwequentwy da mass-pwoduced, pwe-swiced wondewbwead vawiety of bwead, as opposed to da hand-baked and hand-kneaded bwead. Even mowe than that, it's awways white bwead, with no gwains and vewy wittwe fwavouw aside fwom pewhaps a swight sweetness. (in fact, da iwish govewnment cwassifies many amewican bweads as being mowe accuwatewy cakes).

in summawy, da statement "cheese ish amazing" shouwd not be taken as a bwanket endowsement, depending on da geogwaphic wegion. Cheese has da potentiaw to be amazing, and cheese often ish amazing. As me have weawned since moving to amewica fow cowwege, cheese ish awso capabwe of being uttewwy disappointing.

Ryc learned from the best

deep mango
#

Yes

#

The queen of england

#

Pfft

#

I could easily out orate the queen of England

modest rune
#

well

#

shes like

#

90

errant kiln
#

In a few years, I will be able to do that as well.

modest rune
#

so i hope so

velvet dagger
#

In her prime even. She doesn't know English properly

#

She misspells basic words like "color"

errant kiln
velvet dagger
#

Oh also Max hey let me sell you my math

sick finch
#

Laughs in colour

velvet dagger
#

Isn't this beautiful

modest rune
#

no

deep mango
#

Lol

velvet dagger
#

I can tell you're already looking up analytic number theorists at UCSD

modest rune
#

i'd rather kms

deep mango
#

I think it's quite pleasant

modest rune
#

its gross

velvet dagger
#

Actually this isn't the worst the second term is 0 and if I'm not insane then the last two terms are O(e^{-2pi t})

deep mango
#

Oh good.

velvet dagger
#

I sorta said that vaguely and my advisor was sus of it

deep mango
#

Hope t is positive!

velvet dagger
#

Yup

#

"Assume first that t\ge 0"

#

i dont want to hear your voices because seeing or hearing mathematicians triggers me

deep mango
#

Imagine expecting me to read the top.

velvet dagger
#

Actually ryc you can sanity check me on this: so \widetilde{h} is a function of Paley-Wiener type, Fourier transform of a smooth function with compact support

#

So my logic is basically

#

The fraction is bounded

deep mango
#

Ok

velvet dagger
#

And then times something exponentially decaying

#

I'm not losing it right?

deep mango
#

Well

velvet dagger
#

I mean I am probably losing it in general but my advisor was sus so I'm paranoid lol

deep mango
#

It should be uniformly bounded?

#

In t

#

The integral

#

I see no reason why not

velvet dagger
#

Oh wait I guess the problem is we're integrating from -infinity to infinity

#

Motherfucker

deep mango
#

Hmm

#

How does that change anything

#

Oh

#

Ok

velvet dagger
#

e^{-2\pi u}

deep mango
#

Yeah thats bad

#

Does htilde decay at best exponentially

velvet dagger
#

Well okay no this still works but it'll be O(t^{-N}) actually

deep mango
#

Really

velvet dagger
#

The reason is

#

Denominator of the fraction

deep mango
#

You divide in the exponential, ok

velvet dagger
#

And h is Paley-Wiener

deep mango
#

Yes

#

I see

velvet dagger
#

So everything is fine

#

Now I get why he said it's not exponential error lol

#

Or wait no I'm still right

#

All I need is for the integrals to converge

#

And they do

#

So yeah modified version for ease of reference

#

First integral is constant times t (h is in L^1 because PW)

#

Now the second guy is 0 since h is even

deep mango
#

Yes

#

Agreed

velvet dagger
#

Well denominator isn't at least 1 here is it

#

So I can't quite say the term is bounded by h

#

This is sneakier than I thought

#

Yeah I'll settle for t^{-N} error tbh

velvet dagger
#

Okay yeah so full version

#

And yeah so this I just need to be O(t) in general

#

Which works
