My experience on Reddit was the same, but maybe I didn't hang out in the bad spots

MBM ,

or *, if I want to write it explicitly and have no convolution in the expression

But why

MBM ,

I think some Hindus would say they're monotheists because all gods are just different aspects of Brahman. Don't quote me on this though.

MBM ,

I always suspected I'm not a real introvert

MBM ,

Meetings where you're working on a problem together are also fun. Just a bunch of people staring silently at a whiteboard.

MBM ,

If we're being precise, it's also one millennium or multiple millennia (knowing Latin plurals is a curse)

MBM ,
Reminds me of the Garfield breast reduction meme

MBM ,

Terrence Tao has an interesting blog post that's somewhat related (and is basically a bell curve meme).

MBM ,

I also saw one that talks about Garfield topping Furiosa

MBM ,

If it's really only that few people I wish the mods/admins were just slightly more ban-happy

MBM ,

The one thing that comes to mind for wolves and Turkey is the Grey Wolves, I wonder if it's related

MBM ,

Culturally I'd also put that part of Russia closer to the Slavic countries than to any fully Asian country.

MBM ,

Isn't fren one of those words used by 4chan as a dogwhistle? Feels a bit icky when talking about WW2 Japan

MBM ,

It's crazy that so many circuses still have clowns

MBM ,

Somehow I never recognise him, every time he looks like a different person

MBM ,

Warm clothes instead of heating is great, but they manage to subvert it in a very EA way. The way they talk about it sounds almost Calvinist. I wonder if they have some equivalent of the secret TV in the attic.

MBM ,

What do you count as reading outside of books?

Publishers are a cancer. Knowledge is meant to be shared, freely. ( mander.xyz )

The university should be the place demonstrating socioecological change, serving as a site of experimentation and praxis (see Dunlap et al., 2023). This, however, could not be further from the truth. Beside advancing technologies of digital, political and military control (Chatterjee & Maira, 2014), not to mention genetic...

MBM ,

Some funding does actually require that, these days

MBM ,

A big difference with piracy is that typically that's not large companies profiting off the work of countless individuals, but the other way around.

MBM ,

At least where I live, data centres are taking up green power that was supposed to go to households

MBM ,

... I don't get this comic. Is it satirical, or is it just not saying anything?

MBM ,

Not allowing people to vote on posts from All - yes please! There's so many cases of subreddits losing their identity because they started showing up on Reddit's All.

MBM ,

Feels like at least part of the issue is multi-lane pedestrian crossings. Most of the time that should either be single-lane, a traffic light or a tunnel/bridge.

MBM ,

This'll sound unhinged but I think commuting by car is a lot like playing League of Legends (emotionally)

MBM ,

Oh wow, this is the first time I see this difference mentioned. NATO really expects that much military spending?

MBM ,

Shockingly, there are in fact scientists that do great things that aren't terrible on the side like Schrödinger or Feynman. If people properly called them out, maybe we'd have more.

MBM ,

!simpsonsshitposting has competition!

MBM ,

Wild that you're getting downvoted, I didn't know people actually like Dawkins. Here's The Guardian's article

MBM ,

AI is a common topic on !techtakes (the same instance has !buttcoin)

MBM ,

Sounds like I need to do some soul searching

MBM ,

Does she spin clockwise or counterclockwise, and does it change when you cross the equator? Important questions

MBM ,

Kind of curious how you got that value. I think the ratio of circumference to diameter ("pi") is actually smaller in spherical geometry, in the most extreme case (the equator) it's just 1. You could say "pi = 5" for circles of a specific radius in hyperbolic geometry, I guess.

MBM ,

BTW the ratio of circumstance to radius for a circle which is also an equator of the space is ¼ not 1 (r=½π₀ , C=2π₀) .

I think you mean 4, which makes the ratio of circumference to diameter 2 (either way, no idea how I messed up that one).

MBM ,

Anecdotally, the communities I'm interested in are getting more active in a way that seems sustainable (as opposed to last year, when it was a always a single person posting some, getting no responses, and leaving). I'm pretty positive about the state of Lemmy and the wider threadiverse.

MBM ,

That + mostly sticking to my subscriptions (coincidentally, none of them tech or politics) makes it feel like I'm on a completely different Lemmy

MBM ,

We should "just" switch to base-6 (or maybe 12) first

MBM ,

Yeah sadly the rotations of Earth around its axis, the moon around Earth, and Earth around the sun don't divide each other nicely

MBM ,

At least it doesn't hurt the readability here. You should see the stream of consciousness Tumblr essays that use as little punctuation as possible and avoid all capitalisation.

MBM ,

I thought this would be related to quaternions, octonions etc. but no, it's multivectors and wedge products. Very neat, I didn't know you could use them like that.

MBM ,

It's funny, people make aphantasia out to be a huge disability but ironically that just feels like a lack of imagination on their part. The things where you actually need to see images instead of just abstract thinking are pretty rare.

MBM ,

8 values has 4 different axes, instead of left/right

    For what it's worth Beehaw already has hexbear and lemmygrad completely defederated

    MBM ,

    My view has always been that space is "round", that there is no end of the universe because it just loops back around. Apparently this is all still unknown.

    MBM ,

    The trick is that there are companies/people that would commission an artist but go for AI instead because they don't want/need actual art if it's more expensive

    MBM ,

    Infinite seems like it's low-balling it, then. 0% of problems can be solved by Turing machines (same way 0% of real numbers are integers)

    MBM ,

    The cardinality is obviously non-zero but it has measure zero. Probability is about measures.

    MBM ,

    Infinite by definition cannot be “low-balling”.

    I was being cheeky! It could've been that the set of non-Turing-computible problems had measure zero but still infinite cardinality. However there's the much stronger result that the set of Turing-computible problems actually has measure zero (for which I used 0% and the integer:reals thing as shorthands because I didn't want to talk measure theory on Lemmy). This is so weird, I never got downvoted for this stuff on Reddit.

    MBM ,

    Unless you have mods that aren't afraid to drive out the assholes
