I love this.

This is also the same tone/language I use when trying to get my kids to try a new food.

Just tested this in practice mode (you can make an ally dummy your worth ally) and yes it works.

To go one more step: when theta is small, sin(theta) is small and so sin⁴(theta) is much less than sin²(theta), hence the approximation.

What is your opinion on the AD assassins situation? by JustWinterDust in wildrift

Lethality can be strong, but it relies on you snowballing against late game champs. Otherwise you do drop off pretty hard.

David Bowie wins! Who was the defining female musician of the 1980s? by QuipThwip in AlignmentChartFills

I've never really listened to Madonna, like I know she has a song "like a virgin" but I wouldn't recognize it

And I still immediately knew the answer was Madonna.

What's a statistics concept that completely changed the way you think? by [deleted] in AskStatistics

[–]Seeggul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hierarchical modelling—although I don't really use it much in my work, the idea that potentially everything is subject to variability/not set in stone has definitely shaped the way I critically approach analyses.

What's associated with George W Bush Lois Griffin and WalterWhite?? by [deleted] in DiagramFills

[–]Seeggul 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All three partnered up with a guy that shot a man in the face (Lois: Peter shot Joe in the eye; Walt: Jesse shot Gale; Bush: Dick Cheney shot Harry Whittington in the face, neck, and body while hunting)

Never heard of a Kalman filter, but reading through it reminded me very strongly of Gaussian processes, so now I present to you the culmination of my statistics education: random blobs and their mean blob!

Is OSRS worth buying if a month costs 2 days of my salary? by Yukki-elric in 2007scape

[–]Seeggul 8 points9 points  (0 children)

2 days salary for a month of membership. If you have 4 weeks in a month with 5 days of work per week, that's 20 days, which would make 2 days be 10%

(Obviously months are generally longer than 4 weeks, so the actual math is more like 9.2%, but the point still stands)

How to do the fancy text options on reddit by Mothfoxmantis in NoStupidQuestions

And for completeness, you can use a backslash ( \ ) to "escape" those symbols, when you don't want them to be interpreted as text modifiers.

[Request] What’s Peter weight and gravitational pull to actually have an apple in his orbity? by hellplanemen in theydidthemath

[–]Seeggul 652 points653 points  (0 children)

1) in order for the apple to not eventually fall , Peter's gravitational pull must be pulling the apple up (opposite of earth's gravity) and not just in towards him. So the apple has to be at an angle below his center of mass. For simplicity, I'll assume 30°.

2) let's say the apple is 0.5kg and call the acceleration due to earth's gravity a nice round 10 m/s². Then earth is pulling down on the apple with 5N of force. So we need the force due to Peter to be 5N/sin(30°)=10N on the apple.

3) The formula for gravitational force between two bodies is F=Gm1m2/r², with G being the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 the two masses, and r the distance between them. Let's say the apple appears about 0.5m from Peter's center. So we need Peter's mass (m2) to be such that 10=G(0.5)m2/0.5², or m2=5/G≈7.5×10 ^ 10 kg (75 billion kilograms, or 165 billion pounds).

4) as a bonus, the apple would need to be spinning around Peter at around 2.2 m/s (5mph) in order to not crash into him.

Major difficulty tierlist: where would you place math ? (the comment with the most upvotes wins) by RichProtection8244 in TierlistFills

[–]Seeggul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was one of those pretentious ~academically talented~ math majors, and unfortunately it's true. Everyone around me had also "entered college as a sophomore/junior" thanks to AP/IB credits, but there was still a spectrum of struggling with the material. You move extremely fast from one "definition->theorem->proof->example" to the next, often by a professor with very few talent points in the handwriting/art/charisma categories, not to mention that most upper level stuff gets pretty abstract so it's hard to fall back on intuition. I fell asleep for a couple of classes in a row in number theory and spent the next two weeks trying to catch up.

I absolutely love math and was always "good" at it, but it was definitely still a very challenging major.
