Did the subtitle transcriber think that “In” is a name or something? Why is the “I” capitalized?
psycotica0@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Unsure if… fuck it I’ll just blow it open.
The context is that log~e~ has a shortcut called “ln”, that is L N, said lawn, for “natural logarithm” (but not in English)
And so the joke is that “ln” looks like “in” in this context.
minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world 10 months ago
So this is really a font joke, stupid fonts that make the I and l look the same.
I always set my defaults to Tahoma for this reason.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 10 months ago
Yes I know the joke. I was just pointing out that the “I” in “in” seems to be capitolized for no reason.
humanspiral@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
In several mathematical notation systems, the most important being APL/J, programming languages inspired to codify “tools of thought” notation as code, the log function is ln. 10&log is base 10 log.

Its probably edited. The dialogue is real though.

I believe it was edited to fit the joke. If not, yeah I dunno. The context in the scene isn’t ambiguous or anything, so if its like that in the show’s subtitles, its likely an error.

More math meme?

Side note, this reminded me that 3blue1brown just started a series on the Laplace Transform if you’re into the further antics of e.

Second thing is Euler’s Product Formula, which is just amazing in it’s definition.
Zeta(s) = Product(over all prime numbers) [ 1 / 1 - p^-s^ ]
That “over all prime numbers” part gets me every time, and yet the statement is provably true

Super cool video

I almost get this one, but I’m not sure why LOGe would be In
Just don’t speak enough maths lol
felsiq@piefed.zip 10 months ago
ln is just shorthand for the natural logarithm, which is log base e. In case it’s not clear from the picture, it’s written LN (but lowercase) in math

You son of a bitch I’m Ln. got it! I can laugh now

Much appreciated!

Mathematicians just write log~e~ as log tbh (because log~10~ is irrelevant)
jadelord@discuss.tchncs.de 9 months ago
You mean programmers. Real mathematicians™ write it as ln.

Why am I subbed to this? I get like n-5% of the jokes.
Midnitte@beehaw.org 10 months ago
I’ll settle for things writing log~e~ instead of writing log when the assumption is that log means log~10~…
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
I can’t believe that I understood this joke. I honestly can’t even really remember when to use natural logs…

You should adjust your diet or see a doctor about that
