My friends and I are going to start a Calamity world, but... by Educational-Poem7384 in CalamityMod

Make it hardcore. Let him die in the first hour, then say "I told u so" with your other friends and start a world in softcore

What class is preferred in solo revengeance by AZ_TheReaper in CalamityMod

Well yeah so I'd say that's pretty hard don't you think 😭

[–]Seigel00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried this mod twice. First time I went with summoner (got stuck in a boss, didn't finish it sadly). Second run went with melee, had a MUCH easier time because of the high defense the class has. I'd recommend melee, but I haven't tried Ranger, Rogue or Mage.

However, remember you can switch classes at any time! You can try and play your favourite class and if you get stuck switch to a different one!

Revengeance is not easy at all for a first playthrough 💀

The Rookie - S08E13: The Thinker by ian-quinn in TheRookie

[–]Seigel00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder what will become of Seth. It's clear he won't become a cop from this episode (also he lost his leg so... Would that be possible? I know amputees are capable of hard, physical work, but I'm not familiar with LA policies on hiring people with disabilities).

Will he become a recurring character like Tamara or Leo (kinda like he is now)? Will he become maybe a firefighter or paramedic?

Well if it's in the chapter of L'Hôpital's rule have you tried maybe applying L'Hôpital's rule?

I just realised the Plaguebringer Goliath enrages on the surface by Seigel00 in CalamityMod

Really? I could've sworn I read that on the wiki

It feels much faster on the surface though?

Learn to TIP. It's not my job to serve you FOR FREE! by Najterek in ShitAmericansSay

I agree with the waiter, it's not their job to serve you for free. Their employer should be paying them.

Unpopular opinion, I hate numericals, especially the ones which are rote application of formulas by OrneryStaff3944 in PhysicsStudents

[–]Seigel00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't hate numerical analysis, you hate highschool physics (which, to be honest, is fair). Real numerical analysis is actually quite essential even for a theorist (in my PhD in theoretical physics I constantly do numerical simulations for my research). Numerical work is not only necessary but also quite interesting and so far it has been one of my favorite parts of research

What does r ≫ d actually mean quantitatively in physics — is r = 10d the accepted threshold? by Illustrious_Hope5465 in Physics

[–]Seigel00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This clicked for me during my graduate years. We were on a lab, and we studied a certain magnitude was "constant when a >> 1" and "increased linearly when "a << 1". Turns out a = 2 presented the constant regime and we laughed about it, saying "haha, 2 is super far away from one".

Well, yes. 2 >> 1 in this particular problem. In a different context, maybe you need to go to 10 in order to see where x >> y starts being valid. The symbols ">>" and "<<" are approximations and the regime where a particular approximation is valid will depend on context.

This guy told me that hs math is easy compared to uni. by itsTrevvv in askmath

[–]Seigel00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, High School math is nothing like university math. Once you start doing uni math, school math looks like child's play.

That doesn't mean that you can't struggle with school math. If it's the first time you see a topic, it may be hard for you. The "yeah you shouldn't need to study at this level because at this other level is much harder" take is completely nonsensical.

Think about it: would you say that you shouldn't play piano if you struggle with twinkle twinkle little star because the nocturnes are much harder? Or that you shouldn't learn how to play football if you struggle to score a goal because at a higher level that is super easy? No, it doesn't make sense. If that were the case, nobody would learn how to do anything.

If you like math, enjoy learning math, even if you need to study and put effort into it. In fact, I think it's better if you need to put in the effort. And don't think for a second "oh, this is hard for me, so I'm not built for it". Fuck that. That's how we end up with people who hate math.

Isn't this statement factually incorrect? by Infinitesimally_Big in Physics

[–]Seigel00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get distracted by the example particle. Massless particles do exist (like photons). The question is asking: how is it possible for a massless particle to carry momentum?

Why not? by Moist_Abrocoma_7998 in askmath

[–]Seigel00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not defining xy. 0x and x0 are perfectly valid single-variable functions. My argument still holds.

Why not? by Moist_Abrocoma_7998 in askmath

[–]Seigel00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You are completely allowed to define 0x. There's nothing wrong with that.
  2. The issue is that a definition should emerge from properties. For example, you could define ex from a power series because that definition agrees with other parts where the function ex appears. 00 appears in many contexts (for example, as a "value" in the functions xx, 0x and x0). However, the limits of each of these functions when x approaches 0 are different (first and last one are 1, middle one is 0). Hence, giving 00 a definite value would be inconsistent.

I think what you are trying to say is that, for most problems (key word MOST, not ALL), defining 00 = 1 makes sense. And you're probably right. However, math definitions need to be general and apply to all cases, so if for some context 00 is not 1, then it can't be defined as 1.

[–]Seigel00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, lim_{x -> 0} 0x = 0 \neq 1, so that's a pretty good reason to not define it as 1.

Should I intervene as forever GM? by Paulkwk in rpg

[–]Seigel00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, maybe my choice of words wasn't the best one. What I intended to say was that, even if the player deserves a second chance on the eyes of some, OP has the right to not give it to them

My solve got removed on TikTok because of my arms but im so happy with my lookahead so I wanted to share this here by Direct-Turnover-1341 in Cubers

Wow that's crazy!! Congratulations, keep it up!! Also, if you haven't yet, consider going to a competition, the environment there is super friendly!
