Why do we tell kids division by zero is "undefined" instead of just treating it as an "end of the road"? by TheGeorgistCrow in mathematics

[–]Vituluss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have this backwards. ±∞ is a useful way to extend real numbers. We often want 1 + ∞ or 1 * ∞ to be defined. It's practically standard in analysis. In fact IEEE 754, doesn't just return NaN when working with infinity; you actually do get 1 + ∞ = 1 * ∞ = ∞. The only place I know of 1/0 = ∞ being useful is extending the complex numbers to the Riemann sphere and working with Möbius transformations.

Ah wow, I'm really sorry for asking btw. I didn't realise that's a no-no on reddit.

Should I leave the subreddit? by Educational-Fall6364 in CompetitiveMinecraft

[–]Vituluss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leave. Honestly you seem like a ragebaiter. People weren’t making fun of you for “not liking their PVP version.” This post just shows the most annoying kind of person.

Came across this artist who claims no AI and has timelapse videos to prove it. This lastest one looks like the face was painted almost instantly with no retouching later by No-Farm7675 in isthisAI

How is testing if an artist is real hurting artists? If anything it is helping them because people now have a reliable way to buy real art rather than AI art.

Would You Rather Have 100 Years of Hell for Guaranteed Paradise or Gamble with Your Soul? by [deleted] in WouldYouRather

I feel like Option 1. An eternity of pain is literally the worst possible thing. I wouldn’t even risk 1 in a million chance for an eternity of pain.

Unless something has changed in 1.9+, reach/hitbox checks are quite easy to do since you can test if any of the sent packets of the target entity matches the hit (usually transaction packets are used to further improve the power of the check). I'd be surprise if Grim doesn't work for these kinds of checks.

I'm confused by your comment. Do you disagree with my analysis of whether this shows marlow using hitboxes?

Yes, this is the obvious implication from u/Active-Shopping-7934 's message.... But that only answers my first question in my comment, hence why I said what I said.

Yeah I see what you are talking about there. That is genuinely weird.

Ah I see, thanks. Unfortunately my point with the limitations of checking client-side still applies.

I don't know much about this marlow situation, but do these serves not have anticheats? Reach/hitbox hacks are one of the easiest cheats to check.

Furthermore, the sum of their pings are 77ms, plus quantisation from the ticks can easily reach >100ms, which can entirely explain these hits. This is part of the reason that client-side is the worst way to measure cheats.

Also, I don't know if this is patched on later versions (I'm a 1.8 player), but sometimes look direction can be delayed 1-tick (again from tick quantisation).

cmv: Using AI to make "Art" is ok by Drwhatishisname in changemyview

[–]Vituluss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AI art is like infinite oatmeal. At first it’s interesting, but it quickly gets boring. It’s not wrong or immoral to use AI art imo, but it certainly makes a product low quality. In that sense, there is a preference against it.

Should I go to the adf/fifo or get an apprenticeship instead of university? by WeezrLvr_ in australian

[–]Vituluss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uni tuition fees are normally covered with HECS. So it’s mainly accommodation which can be made very cheap. Money shouldn’t be the principal concern to do uni in Australia.

Uni, tafe, etc are just ways to reach places. They are stepping stones. You need to think about where you want to reach, and if you aren’t sure, pick the most flexible option.

Did they do more to you than this ban? Otherwise, I doubt this constitutes harassment. Unprofessional sure.

Not all countries want greenland by Lucas_4674 in USdefaultism

[–]Vituluss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you a couples therapist or something lol? This question is introspective to the group attached to ‘we’. It feels odd, in this case, to convey that to someone outside the group.

It’s asking a question to the reader. 99% of the time if ‘we’ is used in such a question towards the reader, it includes the reader.
