It's not simply notation, since you can prove the identity from base principles. An alien species would be able to discover this independently.

you... you think you can choose not to be LGBTQ? I can only assume at this point you are trolling me.

This really fits my two hot takes about how we need to fix the left:

  • (1) end purity tests: an imperfect ally is still an ally.
  • (2) we need to appeal to centrists more; ± straight cis white men feel alienated when we talk about privilege as though it's a bad thing. We could talk about privilege as though it's a great thing that you should be proud of instead. Then we'd have privileged allies, which would be really helpful.

Why would you assume I don't have the context? I have a degree in math. I could be wrong about this, I'm open-minded. By all means, please explain how infinitesimals don't have a consistent algebra.

Not very good mathematicians if they tell you they aren't fractions.

e^𝘪θ^ is not just notation. You can graph the entire function e^x+𝘪θ^ across the whole complex domain and find that it matches up smoothly with both the version restricted to the real axis (e^x^) and the imaginary axis (e^𝘪θ^). The complete version is:

e^x+𝘪θ^ := e^x^(cos(θ) + 𝘪sin(θ))

Various proofs of this can be found on wikipeda. Since these proofs just use basic calculus, this means we didn't need to invent any new notation along the way.

try this on -- Yes 👎

It's a fraction of two infinitesimals. Infinitesimals aren't numbers, however, they have their own algebra and can be manipulated algebraically. It so happens that a fraction of two infinitesimals behaves as a derivative.

oh huh, neat. Always though of those as "operations."

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

In Comp-Sci, operators mean stuff like >>, *, /, + and so on. But in math, an operator is a (possibly symbollic) function, such as a derivative or matrix.

it's legit a fraction, just the numerator and denominator aren't numbers.

They're very portable, so you can carry them around with you in case you come up with an idea of something to write on your Tesla while you're out and about. They stick to the surface quite well and don't wash off in the rain.

(Please try not to succumb to the temptation to write "F**k off Nazi Scum" or similar on somebody else's though like other people are suggesting. That might encourage people not to buy Teslas, which is a shame, because they're great American cars.)

 

I've had enough of sitting around at home doing nothing. I want to sit around outside instead.

Basically, I want to go out and set up a table somewhere and talk to passers-by about queer rights. I'm not sure canvassing is exactly the word for this, but I've seen people do this to gather pro-life support in my city so I'm sure it's allowed. I'll figure out the legal routes for this on my own.

What literature should I consult? I want to focus on how to talk to anti-trans moderates especially. Here's some things they touch on when I talk to them at protests:

  • parents' rights
  • "What is a Woman?"
  • your brain isn't fully developed until you're 25 [bad science btw.]
  • "why is there a whole pride month?"
  • trans regret

Usually I don't hear much hate for non-trans queers in my area, at least not stated out loud. But in my opinion, an attack on trans rights is an attack on all of us.

 

Just wanted to prove that political diversity ain't dead. Remember, don't downvote for disagreements.

Just wanna say as a cis ally, y'all trans people are valid (not that you need to hear it from me), and also Ms. Schafer is heckin beautiful. I hope she uses her position to become an icon of protest.

 

I think this is actually good news; it indicates that in the unfortunately likely event Canada has a conservative government next year, things might not get as bad for trans people as things are looking in the U.S.

 

I'm curious what this means. Will this retroactively apply to people who have already changed their sex? Does the government even have records of the sex change? Can you request they be destroyed?

The experience seemed roughly on par with trying to advise a mediocre, but not completely incompetent, graduate student. However, this was an improvement over previous models, whose capability was closer to an actually incompetent graduate student. It may only take one or two further iterations of improved capability (and integration with other tools, such as computer algebra packages and proof assistants) until the level of "competent graduate student" is reached, at which point I could see this tool being of significant use in research level tasks.

 

What do y'all guys use for cloud storage, like DropBox, Google Drive, and so on? Ideally something which works even when offline.

I'd like to de-google of course.
