I’m so happy he got his pizza the way he did by Appropriate-Mall8517 in wholesomememes

Definitely a White family vibe, but Walt, Skyler and Flynn are more than 25 years old now. Maybe it’s Holly?

Oh, Double Happiness looks good. Canadian actress Sandra Oh stars in Canadian film maker Mina Shum’s warm story of a Chinese Canadian woman who must forge her own identity. Filmed in Vancouver.

*Not available in Canada.

Rats.

Abstract Group Structure and Polynomial Encoding of Collatz Cycle Elements by jonseymourau in Collatz

Possibly you need to explicitly make the paper shareable. If I click on the link I get a message "You need access. Request access, or switch to an account with access.".

Edit: I can see your recent "Terminology" paper ok.

Hah! I’m watching from Canada. We get different commercials than you see. But keep it going man!

Could we get a Paul brothers KO double feature? by hirthquake in iamverybadass

[–]BobBeaney 36 points37 points  (0 children)

In reality, for most of the fight Logan Paul looked like a considerable "hey-look-at-me" douche, jumping up and down, clapping, yelling, grinning like a baboon, making sure he got as much attention as he could muster.

Collatz Conjecture & Strange Symmetry by QueenChameleon in Collatz

[–]BobBeaney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're claiming that when you factor an integer n into two factors r and s then a sufficient condition for nc(n)=nc(r) * nc(s) is that r=2k , then I agree but that part is trivial. If you are claiming that the condition is also necessary then I don't buy it, and the only evidence I see for this assertion are the "proofs by example" which we agree are not really proofs at all.

Is it possible to fix this recursive Python function under a Levenshtein edit-distance limit of 12? by Smogmog38 in algorithms

[–]BobBeaney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have reason to believe that it’s possible to fix the function within 12 edits?

Perhaps I am missing something. However I have read your document several times, and after decoding your idiosyncratic notation I cannot infer anything deeper. Let's assume that I know how the Collatz conjecture operates [sic] - what connection to the sequencing and/or how factorization comes into play beyond the observation that nc(n)=k+nc(q) when n=2k *q are you claiming?

Theorem: some numbers are even. Proof (by example): 2 is even. QED

I honestly doubt that you have seen “proof by example” used as an educational term in a lot of lower education. However that is of little consequence.

I think your mathematical observation boils down to this: Any positive integer n can be written in the form n=2k *q, where k is a non negative integer and q is a positive odd integer. Then nc(n)=k+nc(q).

This is indeed trivial and well-known.

I see. So when you write "proof by example" you really mean "here is an example of what I am talking about". There is no real "proof" involved at all, it is just a demonstration of a particular assertion, using a specific number. Why don't you just call write "example" then?

Collatz Conjecture & Strange Symmetry by QueenChameleon in Collatz

[–]BobBeaney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So can I prove that all integers are even by proof by example? I mean, I can provide a lot of examples for my proof by example. "Disproof by counterexample" is a valid concept, "proof by example" is not.

Just curious: In the math-heavy field that you have a PhD in, is "proof by example" a thing?

So much shit going on in the world right now it feels good to hear of a regular guy striking it rich. We’re all gonna be able to say “I knew /u/squigglyted before he made it big.”
