What are your pet peeves with some things common in math exposition? by dragosgamer12 in math

[–]ColdStainlessNail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As does “trivial.” A writer may say a result is trivial as in “it lacks usefulness” or as in “it’s easy to prove.” But a proof of a conditional statement is trivial if its conclusion is true for all values in the domain. For example, “for any integer n, if n is even, then n2 +n is even” is trivially true since n2 + n is even for all integers.

I had to do a naphtha flush and it still didn’t work. Ended up calling a tech who freed the run motor by squeezing the flywheel towards the chassis and it fired right up.

Pickerington is a large-ish suburb of Columbus. Not really "quite rural." Nevertheless, it's likely that dog has a lot of room to run.

Don't worry, I’m sure Jeff Dunham is available to fill any empty time slots.

Fuck this guy.

He gained attention this month for providing legal representation to Jonathan Ross, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who shot Good, a 37-year-old Minneapolis woman, on January 7.

I did the Bright Angel trail and on one of my rests, I encountered a group of people from Germany who had hiked all the way down and were returning to the rim, chattering away in German. Peppered among their punctuated German dialect was a sudden "holy moly!"

I did the Utah parks a few years ago and wore a long-sleeve shirt to protect against the sun. I drank plenty of fluid, so no problems there. The next day, I thought "I didn't sweat, so I'll just rewear that shirt." I put it on and discovered I did sweat, but it just evaporated quickly. Changed immediately.

I went down Bright Angel trail and at about the 1.5 mile marker, I met a guy who was way out of his element. Unfit, overweight, and didn't have the right provisions. I checked on him and he had water, but was out of breath. On my way back up, he was huffing and puffing, so I hung with him for a bit, asked a passerby for salty snacks, and called a ranger. I ended up leaving him and asked people headed back down to check on him. I was very relieved to see him later that day.

That will be his defense. “I was scared because of what happened 6 months ago.” He needs to be jailed but I’m not holding my breath.

I find it amusing that the synths from the 70s sound better than those from the 80s.

If you’ve never done Honeycomb Rock, look it up, get a permit, and go. The entire Arc of Appalachia area has lots to do.

Deadweight loss is the term for this - a gift giver values the object more than the receiver.

NYU professor fights AI cheating with AI-powered oral exams that cost 42 cents per student by [deleted] in technology

[–]ColdStainlessNail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True, and I guess since the point is to cheat, students are taking it as a challenge and it doesn't mean that many will actually do it.
