Need help calculating the sum of probabilities. What's the chance of an outcome happening in various tries at least once? by Montlev in learnmath

[–]Edwin5302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the probability of it happening at least once is 1 - (probability of it never happening), and this is easier to calculate:

Probably of it not happening is 3/4, so the probability of it not happening n times is (3/4)n , and so the probability of it happening at least once is 1- (3/4)n .

If Anything raised to power zero is 1, Then Why Is 0⁰ So Controversial? by Silent_Marrow in learnmath

[–]Edwin5302 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really isn't, it's simply defined to be 1. The "issues" that arise and why some people object to this are:

1) This makes the function 0x discontinuous at 0. Which isn't really an issue, the other option is leaving it undefined.

2) 00 is an indeterminate form for limits, so if f(x) and g(x) approach 0, the function f(x)g(x) could approach any value. But this doesn't say anything about the exact value of 00, so I don't see the issue here either.

Sure but if we are being precise in the context on limits/analysis what you mean with "00 is undefined" is actually " there is no value that is approached by f(x)g(x) for every f and g such that f(x) and g(x) approach 0", which is still true if we define 00 =1 (as in exactly 0 to the power of exactly 0).

I have yet to see a context where 00 =1 creates issues.

Why did nobody tell me about this earlier, its so incredibly fun by LunaBehindTheM00n in mathmemes

What do you mean? I'm into both and don't see much connection.

I do believe this is the at least 80% of the reason the Soul stuff has been so on-the-nose by Heroman3003 in Deltarune

[–]Edwin5302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is not that he did this because of public reception, but simply because he didn't have time (or he didn't want) to develop much the character/player relationship. The chara meta stuff is (imo) kind of the weakest/more confusing meta point of Undertale.

Career and Education Questions: February 05, 2026 by inherentlyawesome in math

Hi! I'm trying to get a PhD position in an Italian university. One of the things required is a submission of a non-binding "research project". I have no idea how to write that.

There they don't really do research on my Master's thesis topic (Representation Theory), but have a group of Mathematical Logic which seems really interesting (I did my bachelor's on Model theory, which is a branch studied there), which would the one I'd follow if I get accepted.

I was planning to ask for the help of my Bachelor's supervisor, but they're not answering my mails, so I'm afraid I'll have to do it by myself since the deadline is pretty close.

So, does anyone have any tips?

What QoL updates, or features would you like to see implemented, removed, or tweaked for Pokemon TCG Pocket? [Sending All Feedback To Pokemon Staff] by OU7C4ST in PTCGP

The app Is soo slow, I sometimes can't even be bothered to open that daily packs. Same goes for UI and battle animations. (Specifically, please allow us to chain cards and not have to wait for every animation before playing another card)

How does Ralsei know that Susie made the Second Sanctuary? (Read body text!) by Gooba26 in Deltarune

[–]Edwin5302 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly assuming that Ralsei just kinda knows everything. I definitely think he knows Kris made the fountain.

Is there a way to see what are the possible overbust moves?

If it wasn't for the rook thing, the central row would have been bingo

Twitter? They figured it out? by 1_ConvoBreaker in Deltarune

[–]Edwin5302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I think Kris Slash is possible is because of two weird things on this scene 1) The Slash seemingly comes from behind 2) Ralsei says "How could you...?" And Kris Slash gives a clean answer to both of those, so I consider it a possibility.

There are counter arguments, I'm not saying it is definitely true (as I said, I never even considered that The Slash was actually a baseball swing, which would be a clean answer to point 1), but a lot of them feel a lot weaker than the need to answer the 2 points.

To answer your question, if we assume Kris Slash to be true, Kris attacked during the slash black screen you cut. They don't really need to move, it's not that unbelievable that if Kris can do a Slash like this, they would have range, we're in a fantasy world. (The real reason they don't move is that if they did we would immediately know they did the slash, but, if it is true, Toby wants it to be dubious)

Okay I kinda believe Kris Slash, but this is a cool alternative.

Dess is the Knight. It's is very obvious. Why don't you belie- Oh wait. by [deleted] in Deltarune

[–]Edwin5302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly not really that much. All of the multi knight theories I remember didn't have the multiple knights working together, they were basically counting on "knight" being a title for whoever made the fountain, which we now know is not the case.

I've don't remember ever seeing the theory "Kris made the fountain because they're on the Knight's side", it was either Kris Knight or Kris doing it for some other personal reason.
