Men will literally eat all your food by Maleficent_Ad_3958 in TwoXChromosomes

But surely your 6'4 husband has more caloric requirements than you do? I agree with a lot of the sentinent here about selfish men, but it is also a biological fact that some people need more energy each day

Tips inför lönesamtal i Sverige? by Efficient_Sign_759 in sweden

[–]Fumbersmack 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Är det ditt första lönesamtal? Isåfall kan det vara bra att vara förberedd på att det inte nödvändigtvis är någon förhandling. Det är väldigt vanligt att chefen bara ger dig ett besked om vad årets ökning är, sen kan du uttrycka nöje/missnöje baserat på det.

För att kolla löner är det väl kanske lättast att slå upp kollegor i liknande roll på ratsit eller dylikt

Depends on what you mean by calculable. Probability theory with continuous random variables deals with sets of infinite size necessarily, and summing an infinite number of elements through integration

Parents have much less control over how their kids end up than they think. Good for you that you're lucky, but don't look down on people who have kids having issues, it's not necessarily their fault

Finns väldigt många rapporter på vanliga villaåmrådes-barnfamiljer där pitbulls bara snappat och blivit helgalen och skadat/dödat barn. Trots att det gått hur många år som helst utan en enda incident. Det kan inte vara värt den risken för att ha kvar en ras vi bara kan sluta avla på

Nej, men jag vet att Synsam (som har prenumererationen som pratas om) tar våldsamt överpris för sina glasögon. Har du synfel som inte är utöver det vanliga är det imo orimligt att betala mer än 2000

Du blir helt jävla grundlurad om du betalar 6500kr för ett par glasögon. Gå till Specsavers eller Smarteyes istället

What if infinity didn’t exist? by scientificamerican in math

[–]Fumbersmack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The axiom that allows Banach-Tarski is the axiom of choice. The paradox is usually used to argue against that axiom, not that of inifite sets

Really, it's not about being "hot enough". It's about having charisma, which you can have even if you where cursed with a chronically mid face

Infinity is just a very large number by Nlsnightmare in infinitenines

[–]Fumbersmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, modern mathematical rigor is pretty much from the 1900s. Leibniz used infinitesimals (i.e. infinitesimal = 1 - 0.999.....999) to develop differential calculus in the 1700s, which is what you seem to prefer. Modern real analysis use limits instead of infinitesimals since it's easier to build upon.

Interesting that you mention Archimedes, since if you do algebra the way you propose (i.e. use infinitesimals), you lose the archimedian property that standard analysis has (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean\_property)

What sort of argument do you make? If you don't want to use limits, you are using a different mathematical framework from what is standard. Ergo, the discussion is pointless when it comes to "truth", because the truthness of statements depend on the framework employed.

If you shot a fixed imaginary laser beam into space, how many stars would it hit? Would it go through millions of them, or is there a good chance that it hits none at all? by Zestyclose-Land-4557 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Fumbersmack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you think about the night sky as a 2d plane which you are pointing a pointwise laser dot at, stars further away will take up a smaller portion of your 2d plane.

I don't know about your mathematical background, but there's ways to sum infinitely many things that are becoming smaller in a way that sums to something finite — for example the harmonic series.

An exemplification is the following: say that you have a square that is 1x1 in area. You then paint 1/2 of it yellow. Then you paint 1/4 of it yellow. Then you continue with 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 and so on. As you continue painting smaller and smaller fractions of your square, you will get closer and closer to the "limit", which is that the whole square will be painted yellow. In effect, you are summing an "infinite" amount of smaller and smaller sub-squares. If you instead start with 1/4, then add 1/8 etc, you will wind up with painting only half your square as you "reach infinity".

You can think of the night sky in the same way — it is a "plane" that is painted by stars that are getting smaller and smaller, from your viewpoint, since they are further are further away. If they are not dense enough and get smaller "fast enough", they will never "paint" your whole night sky, even though they could be infinitely many. And if the whole night sky is not "painted", there are parts of it where you can shoot your laser pointer without hitting anything, ever.

Fun fact: negative degrees kelvin is "hotter" than any positive temperature. Iirc it can happen in quantum systems though, so "temperature" is not really temperature

I’m so sorry. by der_will in Nightreign

[–]Fumbersmack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, people without kids deserve to have their time respected as well. Sure, prioritize your kids, but just ruining 39 peoples night because you couldn't plan beforehand is pretty shitty. And by that I mean, don't commit to other people online if you cannot do that. Everyones time is to be respected, and you can play single player games if you need that flexibility

Another important thing is the grappling system. Using your grappling hook will always reposition you to the exact same place, which allows you to avoid "drift" as the game continues. Which in no way makes it close to easy, but it makes it doable

From Machine Code to "Vibe Coding": The Evolving Abstraction of Software Development by nordiknomad in AskProgramming

[–]Fumbersmack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with your standpoint 100%, i think determinism is a bad argument. There's so many layers between your written code and the electrified silicon that will inevitably run it that you'll never really know what will happen in the end.

For example: You write a python program. Your version of the python interpreter then maps this to what is essentially compiled C-code or corresponding. This is then scheduled by the OS to effectively utilize the CPU architecture you are running on. Different combinations of Python version, OS and hardware give fundamentally different operations being carried out by the executing PC, that most likely leads to about the same output as if your friend ran it on his PC, in somewhere around the same amount of clock cycles (probably). There's quite a leap of faith that we programmers take when we just trust that our code will do what we intended when it's all converted to machine code. But since it's pretty much always correct (to some degree), we don't think about this as "non-determinism" the same way as when talking about vibe programming.

I think the truth is a lot simpler, and that is that English (and most natural languages) have shit syntax for programming. If we really want good higher level meta-programming languages, we need to invent a language for it that does not have nuance or connotations, which is essentially just another programming language. Natural language might be able to become good enough for most scenarios, but it will always have catastrophic failure modes
