  • Skill based matchmaking makes slippi viable

    Some games, especially melee and starcraft, are the opposite of fun for at least one player (but usually both) if the skill difference between players is too large.

  • visibly checked out seven of nine's

    resistance was futile

  • I thought raw-dogging a flight was inhaling one without an n95...

    Did raw-dogging also lose the earlier meaning at some point?

  • Is the song not in that film?

  • This is how Biden can still win!

  • nobody wants to work anymore

  • If I used my immunity-from-contracting-and-transmitting diseases wish on myself and my partner, I would mask anyways because explaining that I don't need to wear a mask because a supernatural force granted me 3 wishes is harder than just showing people that hot gamers should mask too

  • Your feedback is valid and I apologize for rendering such an ugly proof

  • in computer programs, yes

    not so much in analysis

  • ^_^ thank you!

  • I like how compact this one is ;)

  • Not quite. The wording "equivalence classes of ... with respect to the relation R: aRb <==> lim( a_n - b_n) as n->inf" is key.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_class

    loosely, an equivalence relation is a relation between things in a set that behaves the way we want an equal sign to

    For an element in a set, a, the equivalence class of a is the set of all things in the larger set that are equivalent to a.

  • No. 0.99 is 0.9+0.09. The proof I gave shows that 0.99999999999999999999999999999999999(...) is equal to 1.

  • and wants to know why 0.999... = 1

    \begin{align} 0.999.... &= 9\cdot(0.1+0.01+0.001+... ) \ &= 9\cdot( 0.11 + 0.12 + 0.13 + ... ) \\ &= 9\cdot(\sum\limits_{k=1}\infty ( \frac{1}{10k} ) ) \\ &= 9\cdot(\sum\limits_{k=0}\infty ( \frac{1}{10{(k+1)}}))\\ &= 9\cdot(\sum\limits_{k=0}\infty \frac{1}{10}*(\frac{1}{10k})) \\ &= \frac{9}{10}\cdot (\sum\limits_{k=0}\infty (\frac{1}{10^k})) \ &= \frac{9}{10}\cdot \frac{1}{(1-(\frac{1}{10}))}\ &= \frac{9}{10}\cdot \frac{10}{9} = 1 \end{align}

    The crux rests on a handy result on from calculus: the sum of an infinite geometric series looks likes s = 1/(1-r), when s = \sum\limits_k=0inf rk, and |r| < 1.

    Sorry for the latex. When will hexbear render latex? This is a bit more readable:

    (aesthetic edit for our big beautiful complex analysts)

  • While ER visits for COVID increased 14.7% in the past week nationally, they still only account for 0.7% of ER visits, according to CDC.

    How long has it been since hospitals were required to report covid cases/admissions?

  • any grad student should be able to explain their research in broad layperson terms

    100%. I just think caution is warranted for certain cases where a small amount of detail and the year of graduation might be enough to personally identify someone.

  • but I'm curious if the land he's bought is in more climate resiliant locations.

    When you own land everywhere, you don't really need to discriminate.

  • forced insemination falls off in Outside the cultures that enjoy its consumption

    This is simply false cw: forced insemination of cows in the indian dairy industry

    Look it up instead of arguing with me?

    First, I actually did look it up. Second, why didn't you?

    A person online who was only interested in vegan food choices and not a discussion about dairy practices in the west?

    lmao YOU asked why vegans don't eat dairy!

  • If it's niche enough, answering this might be very poor opsec

  • First, at the risk of being a pedant, bickering and arguing are distinct activities. Second, I didn't imply llm's results are inherently incorrect. However, it is undeniable that they sometimes make shit up. Thus without other information from a more trustworthy source, an LLM's outputs can't be trusted.
