  Having watched the “wanna develop an app” episode from R&M, this is the end of openAI. Everyone hates ads and will say fuck this shit i’m out.

  I’ve said this to my Jewish family countless of times how unethical the practice is. After all, I saw a statistic which said 70000 Jewish babies die each year from urinary tract infection because of this ritualistic performance.

  To me, for someone who stopped believing 3 years ago, I’ve waited for this ban to happen.

  In my experience, it really wasn’t an “advanced subject” for me. Sure, the majority of majors who are trying to become doctors, CS, or computer engineers only have to take up to calc 2 (and diff eq) for their bachelors, but I still wouldn’t say MVC or diff eq is an advanced math subject. Real analysis or algebra – where you have to take a math course on mathematical proofs before taking these classes – is where I’ll say math becomes more abstract on its applications and advanced.

  Diff eq was not challenging at all, I spent probably 6 hours a week on average (which includes the 4 hours of lecture). Its as simple as solving a linear equations, with it being slightly more tedious. If you understand derivatives, integrals, and partial fraction decomp (for Laplace transforms) its a breeze of a class.

  MVC on the other hand was slightly more challenging, but having finished calculus 2, that too was also very enjoyable.

  Point is, MVC and diff eq aren’t hard classes I wouldn’t even call them advanced classes as that title goes to analysis.

  225 * 2 = 450 ≠ 550. I initially thought it was 550 which makes sense since I was a math major. its been 3 years since I actually studied arithmetic leave me alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isint lemmy more popular?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Because I fucking hate my privacy, and Lemmy and other FOSS media platforms is like veggies on my dinner plate – I don’t want it.

  I want people to know when I get my first boner, when I inevitably kick the bucket, and when i announce I got a new position (while users on the platform give context that I was hard the entire interview process). Because why celebrate with family and friends when I got the whole internets asshole comments to read and respond to.”

  This is my interpretation of why users don’t join Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What browser(s) should I use?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Librewolf on desktop, ironfox on mobile.

  By default these applications come with no Firefox suggestions, no AI bullshit, and even turns on strict security. This is what I use personally because I don’t like to reconfigure the settings every time I install Firefox, this just works.

  Dark matter isn’t matter, I know shitty name to call something “matter” that isn’t matter, Dark matter is a force. The most common example where dark matter shows up is in astronomy, where galaxy positions aren’t where we calculated them to be, hence there is some external force that is being applied, that we don’t know and haven’t found a way to take into account. I guess we call it “dark matter” instead of “dark force” is because for a force to be applied there must be some mass. Still i think it’s illogical to assume that dark matter is a matter, because we don’t know what force is exerting on it. For all we know it could be the accumulation of other galaxies applying a force on the observed galaxy that we’re simply not taking into account.

  Don’t use Firefox, as in, don’t use the official Mozilla release, even that has gone to shit. Pretty much everything has gone to shit, in terms of search results and web browsers. I use librewolf (a fork of firefox) on my laptop and Ironfox on my phone they both by default come with the security features by default. No AI generation built in the browser, no Firefox suggestions, no tracking, none of it. I’ve also stopped using standard search engines like google or DDG and replaced it with marginalia search. This combination has allowed me to eliminate AI generated content and tracking from my browsing experience.

  I would say I’m fine supporting Microsoft by buying their laptops, I just don’t want it to be surveiled and capitalized off of through spyware in the OS. I suggest going used instead of new, reason being, you can get really good specs that makes the license practically free. My current laptop is a thinkpad E14, the previous owner loaded it with 40 GB of ram and a 1tb ssd with a ryzen 7 7730. I paid $400 for that machine. If you don’t mind going used with slightly older specs, maybe a haircrack or two, the payout is worth it.

  No. physics is generalized to algebra, you don’t need to know a lot of math to learn physics. Having more math will allow you to do more complicated problems and understand concepts the way it was discovered, but it isn’t limited to those who know calculus.

  I didn’t fully understood the joke, my only understanding of episilon comes epsilon-delta proofs… I forgot that epsilon in that context measures the certainty of the “Infinitesimal” displacement in x. So when epsilon is really large everyone looses their shit as if the world’s going to collapse into a black hole. 😂

  Why did I read this as nodes. Am I seriously that married to CS that I read Nudes as nodes (as in nodes from linked lists).

  I guess it doesn’t help that the they’ve used the character ‘•’ in place of the ‘u’ to solicite the word “Nudes.”
