We also need irrational fucks for the complex field don’t we?
- Comment on This feels wrong. I love it. 3 weeks ago:
Almost:
Lengths are usually reals, and in this case the diagram we can use assume that A is the origin wlog (badly drawn vectors without a direction)
Next we convert the vectors into lengths using the abs function (root of conjugate multiplication). This gives us lengths of 1 for both.
Finally, we can just use a Euclidean metric to get out other length √2.
Squaring isn’t multiplication by complex conjugate, that’s just mapping a vector to a scalar (the complex | x | function).

I dunno about science, but truth is proof. That just infers that science is various forms of proof, and I’m ok with that as it lets our notion of proof evolve as we do ^_^

I dunno, twitter was more a stardew valley running the Joja route; but then it turned into X which was more of a Concord - so much money pumped in and so little quality.

- Comment on Borderlands' theatrical run grinds to a halt with just $31 million worldwide, which is barely enough to cover the marketing costs 2 months ago:
$38,912,465
That’s how much the 1993 Mario Brothers movie grossed worldwide. Really pause and think about that.
Let that sink in.
The mario brothers movie made $7,000,000 more than this, in 90s money. One of the greatest disappointments in movie history, which has a cult following for its level of fail, outperformed Borderlands.
That is the orbital nuke of fails.

Spherical geometry - good times…
Yep, it’s a triangle. You can also make one with three right angles on a sphere!

- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
Yes and no; I’ve met some people who were great to date but hell to live with.
A good relationship starts with both people knowing what they want - and continual contact helps determine if the other person is being honest about what they want. Post 35/30, this process is often a lot faster, and dating skill matters less than ability not to annoy the person you’re suddenly around 24/7.
If it matches from the start, or a compromise grows, you’re in for a winner. Otherwise, back to the sea of the undead you go, no matter how good your dating skill!
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
Intention and reality are two different things - although I can’t say I ever managed casual dating for 2 years! Usually most folks are in a relationship after 1.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
I think it goes further than that - post 35 (post 30 really) there is a lot more pressure to shift from casual dating to a relationship at a faster pace.
Life experience talking here too, it isn’t just “being upfront”, it’s also being willing to move at a faster pace.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 3 months ago:
The real secret to dating after 35 - don’t.
Folks are not looking to “date”: they’re after long term commitment OR quick hook ups. The middle ground really vanishes when you get older!
- Comment on Lectures 3 months ago:
Heh, I did this once - mostly because 10+ PowerPoint animations really chug the university issue laptops, and I was presenting somewhere new (software is not your friend).
It was really 15 slides with about 20 animation steps on each - the students didn’t seem to hate seeing a set of fully worked maths problems with colour coding linking parts of the question to the resultant equation.

Fun UK fact - we use a different ranking system for lecturers:
Lecturer Senior Lecturer Reader Professor
That means, at some point, someone has been a “Reader in X at Reading”.

Thanks for the bedtime reading!
I mostly deal with foundations of analysis, so this could be handy.
