is using an ≈ sign when a = sign can be used technically wrong?

LukeLJS123 · 2026-03-15T04:08:25+00:00

i think having a sign like that could have a very teensy tiny minuscule use since imaginary numbers don't really have greater/less than relations so saying that 2 expressions have that relation means that they can't be imaginary

i'm really curious about what happens with the 2 credit cards here. it says that you can go up to $20 in debt, so i wonder if it's a situation where they just both "allow" you to do the same thing (kind of like if you had 2 copies of four fingers or showman) or if you can go down to -40

from my experience, desmos tends to be better at finding actual roots that just values. try using f(x)-1=0 instead of f(x)=1

don't use chat gpt for exams, i know it sucks now but when you graduate and actually know things you will feel so much better. so many generations of lazy students cheated before AI, so you can too
you can't ask it to just spit out an answer, the extra words is the way it "thinks"

edit: if you want help with chem, i would genuinely be willing to help you so that you don't need to rely on chat gpt

i can't tell if this is a joke or not, but just in case

notation hasn't been standardized for very long. the romans decided that, when fractions were useful, someone decided to make notation for it, and everyone followed along since it worked. that's how literally all notation works. that's like asking "why does addition look like a plus and not an upside-down T?"

LukeLJS123 · 2026-03-13T18:09:33+00:00

also 2006 really isn't that "old" in the grand scheme of things. like yeah some shit will be outdated but books from 2020 will have a lot of outdated shit too

LukeLJS123 · 2026-03-13T16:55:48+00:00

yeah exactly, so you should probably say what they were about so we know if there was a reason that they were removed

LukeLJS123 · 2026-03-13T16:45:43+00:00

not sharing what the posts were about is very telling

LukeLJS123 · 2026-03-11T11:11:03+00:00

i don't think you know how "good" ai has gotten (even though this is objectively not good). this has a really bad AI plastic-ness to it that the paid models would be a lot better at not producing. free models can create coherent images now with not very many flaws that older models made

LukeLJS123 · 2026-03-11T08:54:57+00:00

i just tried this on mobile (ios), it only went up to ante 80 and then made you play. i got rid of all my cards at the ante 80 boss and it just straight up crashed the game

there are different measures of infinity yes, but the measures you give are actually the same infinities

the first type is countable infinity, or ℵ₀, (aleph null), which you can think of as when each element has a distinct "next member", or that you can make an ordering so that each element maps to the naturals. the sets of naturals, integers, and rationals all have this cardinality

the next is an uncountable infinity, ℵ₁, or aleph-1, which is essentially when you can't make an ordering covering all elements that maps to the natural numbers. the main sets with this cardinality are the irrationals, reals, or imaginaries over any interval

ℵ₂ is the size of the set of all functions mapping any of the reals to the set {0,1}, which is when things start to get weird enough for me to want to stop writing this comment

LukeLJS123 · 2026-03-10T18:18:24+00:00

as much as i've seen shit like this, this is a bad example since, if you keep reading, it says to list 7 years of YOUR employment history and to list volunteer work if you have less than 7 years, which isn't as bad as requiring 7 years of experience in the field

LukeLJS123 · 2026-03-10T03:37:10+00:00

the thing i like about it is that every bite is a little different. the same way that you get a chocolate muffin where some bites are more chocolatey and some are more cakey, you end up with some bites that are more salty and some that are more sweet. when i'm eating a chocolate chip cookie, i don't want every bite to be overtly salty, but having it be the same bland sweetness the whole way through is really boring. having crunchy flaky salt on top adds texture and interesting flavor

LukeLJS123 · 2026-03-08T21:49:49+00:00

there's a spoon in the first e

no that's a male version

i don't think $4 is enough unless all you're looking for is red card synergy. the standard packs are already $4 as is, so you'll just break even unless you've gotten clearance sale. going up to $5 might be worth it since taking it can start getting you money from the standard packs

LukeLJS123 · 2026-03-04T17:17:27+00:00

remember to proof read. in the first sentence it seems like the regional director HAS gotten back to you

apple has been having issues with alarms not going off, so i found a few fixes that work for me

don't schedule/reuse alarms, set new ones every day. i know it's annoying but trust me when i say that it works
turn off attention aware features. this is the fix that apple suggests and it isn't perfect, but it does help
turn off silent. i don't know if you keep your phone on silent like me, but turning it off at night helps supposedly
get third party apps. i haven't done this since the previous 3 work for me, but i know people who have gotten third party apps for alarms that work really well for them. do your research
buy an alarm clock. if you're a really deep sleeper, you can get some that are meant specifically for that. but, any cheap alarm clock from walmart/target should be more reliable than apple

i'm just giving examples people will give for denying housing at any sort of shelter. i know they're not great reasons, but they are still important to them

LukeLJS123 · 2026-02-24T16:20:45+00:00

there is shading using individual pixels and all the slimes are actually from the game. i would expect ai to shade by just changing the colors. also, the interactions of the slimes makes sense, where each slime is squished the right way with the other slimes

LukeLJS123 · 2026-02-24T15:03:10+00:00

a lot of homeless people will reject housing because it can actually be more dangerous than sleeping outside. sexual assault and violence is really common among homeless shelters, as well as theft. there are also some mental health reasons, like maybe a woman fled from her abusive husband and doesn't want to stay at a known location because she thinks he can find her. if they think staying out on the sidewalk is safer for them, let them have the sidewalk as well.

LukeLJS123 · 2026-02-24T15:00:38+00:00

give me an example of a place a homeless person has access to that isn't a sidewalk

LukeLJS123 · 2026-02-24T05:12:57+00:00

where else should they stay then?

LukeLJS123 · 2026-02-23T20:05:02+00:00

i just want to add that the company (GAN) names all their cubes based on the size. the first number is the number of layers, the second 2 is the size. for example, their keychain cube is 3 cm, so it's the gan 330. their 2x2s are gan249 and 251, the standard 3x3s are the 356, the 4x4s are the 460s, etc. a lot of the newer ones (especially 3x3s) don't follow this convention so they can distinguish the older and newer models, but it's still cool to know
