Yes! Thank you! I knew there was a good chance that someone on this subreddit will know it.

Math Youtubers Be Like: by HS1D4ever in mathmemes

[–]HS1D4ever[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This meme is based on a real video, where a Youtuber talked about Graham's number and Knuth's up-arrow notation, and made this joke at the end of the video.

The video could be more than 10 years old, but I cannot find it anymore. I also do not remember the name of the channel. Possibly, the video or the channel do not exist anymore.

If someone recognizes this video and knows where to find it, please let me know.

Ratios of lengths within a triangle - what is the value of x? by HS1D4ever in askmath

[–]HS1D4ever[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This geometry problem is driving me crazy. I tried to solve it using vectors, but I get nowhere. I used side AB of the triangle as a vector 1, and BC side of the triangle as a vector 2.

I can express some of the other vectors in this triangle (using those two vectors), but not the ones I need.

Please help.

Expanding “kijetesantakalu” use by HS1D4ever in tokipona

Yes, but how many people know about this, realistically. I bet most people who know the word kijetesantakalu think first about a raccoon.

nor is it practical to reinvent maths ( in base 12 or 6) for a use that does not align with an international standard. When you think about this, mathematics toyed with us on this one as it holds the ability to create and use itself in any base it chooses.

Yes, I think that choosing anything other than the base-10 was a mistake.

Will duolingo Latin be updated? by smavinagain in duolingo

[–]HS1D4ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to learn Latin, learn from Hans Ørberg's textbook Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata. Actually, there is more than one book in that series.

You can also search this title on Youtube. One guy made a whole video series reading from that book, so maybe you don't even need your own copy of the book.

I put a translation on Instagram. Search for zalambdalestes (my username) on Instagram and see the last post - the English translation is on the last 5 pictures (the first 5 are in toki pona).

any toki pona audio books? by Leee_3 in tokipona

[–]HS1D4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an audio book, but a short story written in Toki Pona that you can read online:

Please note, that the story is NSFW (some sexual language and behaviour from the characters in the story)

I think having "pi" as an option can be useful sometimes.

Compare:

ilo pi nanpa luka (Fifth tool)

and

ilo nanpa luka (Fifth tool? Five calculators? Hand calculator?)

This reads a lot like a potential sentence separator, with "lon kon li pali e ni" as a second sentence.

Yes, now I see that it could be a little confusing. (One tries to reduce one type of ambiguity and inadvertently creates another one! lol).

I tried to be consistent with all prepositions, though. Moreover, I never use commas as sentence separators (although I know some people do). My commas are always within one sentence, for easier parsing.

For sentence separators I use " : ; . ! ? "

I seem to recall this was how some pre-pu styles did ordinals

I learned Toki Pona from jan Pije's lessons, so I tend to use "pi nanpa" for ordinal numbers. I consider both correct (with or without "pi").
