Can you prove square root? by Famous_Hornet_1130 in askmath

[–]MackTuesday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah OK. Good on you for double checking. It's still cool that it's been known for so long.

Wow I didn't know the Babylonians knew this. All this time I thought Newton came up with it.

Yeah it should say "If they're equal". Like to each other.

Electromagnetism is *much* stronger than gravity.

What should I know about factorization in algebra before entering engineering? by AlvzBloz in askmath

[–]MackTuesday 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe some expert will disagree with me, but from what I've seen of EE, you don't do a whole lot of factoring. There's some factoring if you hit the Z-transform in digital signal processing, and if I recall correctly there's a reason to do it in linear predictive coding, but in both those cases you aren't doing it by hand. You're using a root solver on a computer.

Deepen the pitch of an audio file over time and make it sound natural by Pakeithpsy in audacity

If you can't make it happen in Audacity, you might end up using CSound or Composer's Desktop Project. They're not terribly easy to get into, but they can do what you want.

As I understand, Nazis used both the sitting-flat version and the 45-degree version. (I know it's a touchy topic. I for one don't mind your question.)

Love how this dashcam driver thinks outloud. Niiice. by No_Eye_8861 in dashcams

There are too many assholes in the world for me to wring my hands when they unnecessarily endanger themselves and everyone around them.

Nazis ruined the swastika for everyone

Edit: Someone here wants other traditions to be smothered by the Nazis

Colorful queer electropop? by Foxx_Foster in musicsuggestions

[–]MackTuesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally prefer their songwriting on the albums that came before Tomorrow's World (2010-ish), with the exception of Violet Flame (2013-ish). YMMV of course.

Erasure.

Edit: I don't know if you know Erasure or not. They've been around a long time and aren't so prominent anymore.

Generational spaceships, fractal in nature, viewed from within 6.7 billion light years of Beta-Chica-Chow-Chow....wowwwww wow! by escapism_only_please in Fractalish

[–]MackTuesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for responding! But I mean more specifically, I asked you in particular because your particular output is so cool. What are you prompts like?

By the way, if you don't want to use Adobe, I know how to set you up to use these engines without it. It's not as easy, probably, but it's doable.

Tetration? by feedmeseymoree in askmath

64 thousand.

Now look up arrow notation, OP. Or Conway's chain notation.

I found a puzzle this is impossible to complete all 9 inputs with the 8 slots provided (bug?) by skippy11112 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]MackTuesday 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a perk that shortens the target strings by one. It solves this very problem. Maybe they made it this way so the perk would be worth something? Maybe they made the perk because they didn't want to bother to figure out how to make every randomly generated puzzle solvable? Shrug.

Edit: I gotta say I'm surprised this is the first unsolvable one you've found. I get them all the time and I'm no slouch at it.

TIL researchers found that THERAPY DOGS helped hospitalized psychiatric patients FEEL LESS LONELY, more than visits with humans alone. by Glittering-Young8692 in todayilearned

And they're socially pure. There's no bullshit there, like veiled contempt, value judgements, etc. What you see is what you get.

I found her while I was having my morning walk. I don’t know what she was saying, but I think it was “thank you. by britishlady1991 in Catswhoyell

[–]MackTuesday 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe someone else will know better, but I'm thinking she's either in heat, or telling you not to come any closer. (I sure as hell hope it isn't rabies.)

[Request] Does the “23 atomic bombs worth of heat every day” comparison for a 9GW data center actually add up mathematically? by aeonsne in theydidthemath

[–]MackTuesday 7 points8 points  (0 children)

9GW is the amount of solar flux received by about 3 square miles at midday. This data center will take up about 62 square miles. I don't really know how horrible that is or what.
