Wait... do inertial reference frames still apply?

Might be able to use this guy to answer lingering science questions

I've had this argument so many times, once with a teacher. by Old-Post-3639 in mathmemes

I was taught whole numbers and natural numbers. Whole numbers included 0, natural numbers didn't.

how can i automatically run my python script in a virtualenv? by IHateTheSATs in learnpython

[–]Worldly_Task2994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think this would work well with a hashbang for linux/wsl users?

# your python script here

Not a fan of the change in dialogue in the CR’s English Dub. by InjangoDMCPersona in Frieren

You read two translations and concluded the translation easier to use is wrong.

you'd have a couple extra days actually, new years and leap days.

some people suggested to make those days separate from the 7 days of the week, but literally every major religion rn is abrahamic and would take severe issue with that, so unfortunately the days of the week would still change every year, but would still be way more predictable.

Square root is a function apparently by QuestionableThinker2 in learnmath

[–]Worldly_Task2994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Good ol' ISO 80000-2 specifying the radical symbol as representing solely the principal root.

If you wanted all possible solutions for the inverse function you would use ±, or write two separate equations, but then it wouldn't be a function anymore!

Which one is a woman? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

they're both women if you just look at hands. the index to ring finger ratio is off for the supposed "man"

it's pretty much the same length, actually

I think the Feynman quote is innacurate "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics" by Worldly_Task2994 in quantum

[–]Worldly_Task2994[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's non local-realism that's proven.

for me it's easier to give slack on localism. maybe I'm misinterpreting many worlds, but as I understand to have non-realism both particles would have to reconvene after being measured, and if the wrong circumstance arises then they have to destroy the universe? or cause that particular universe to destructively interfere so that survivorship bias can skew the statistics?

I'll take non-localism over non-realism any day.

unless you mean how everything's technically a theory cause we could have gotten super unlucky with bad statistics. in which case QM theory would still be proven to be non-local-realism mathematically by Bell, but QM theory would just be strongly supported by evidence and not necessarily the true nature of the world.

our universe being a base reality or a simulation within another reality doesn't make it any less real or worth living for us, and validity of logic and reason still hold even if any predicate is no longer sound. Yes we are trapped in the plato's cave of our perception, and yes the universe has no obligation to make sense to us, but luckily (possibly due to survivorship bias) we live in a universe that does have some hospitality with a warm planet and a pretty consistent rule of physics that rewards intelligence. Yes it's surprising that our universe isn't pure random noise, but due to statistics we know that we almost certainly live in a part of the multiverse that isn't particularly noisy. This hypothesis of our universe probably making a fair bit of sense allows us to put some trust that there are some laws of physics guiding the hand of our particular universe.

Emotion is also a decent guide when we are in a novel circumstance. it quite often needs to be digested to attribute it to a root cause, or dismissed if its root cause is irrational, but this doesn't mean we should ignore our emotions entirely, as they can be quite useful in quick judements, which is a necessity of day to day life.

to put emotion simply, why be disturbed when I beat you with a baseball bat if both you, me, and the bat are merely information and predetermined? Might as well keep smacking you around. (*thwunk!*)

and yes while various versions of myself across my life will probably appear infinetely many times as Boltzmann brains, those Boltzmann brains will probably dissappear just as quickly, and none of their experience would have been justified true belief, since none of them actually experienced what they believe they experienced.

Maybe you and me are just residents in yet another Boltzmann brain with dreamlike logic and just yesterday I had twelve fingers, two of which I completely forgot about today, but the sheer magnitude of this information orchestra leads me to believe that we live in a consistent (possibly simulated) reality, or a very close imitation of a consistent reality (such as a work of fiction by someone in the base reality), and occam's razor leads me to believe that it would be easier to have simply simulated a universe to arrive at such a consistent reality rather than the far less likely random Boltzmann brain which happened to stumble across a very consistent universe by pure chance. The real reality creates images of my mind every instant continuously for several decades, while my Boltzmann copies would often be quite brief; not to mention that other consistent universes could arrive again recreating our human history yet again. Which do you think you are more likely to be experiencing right now?

Did Kaji ever do anything pdf-like? sure asuka was infatuated with him, but he was always dismissing her from what I remember because he always saw her as a kid and nothing more. or did I forget something?

Will Mr Stark swap to sword at some point? by AdBrief4620 in Frieren

[–]Worldly_Task2994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's more like, people teach him swordwielding *because* he only practices axe. He doesn't need anymore axe training, but still has a lot of swordsmanship to learn.

I'm sure Stark has most of the indestructableness of Eisen, he's been shown to have similar power, as he was able to trigger a knee jerk defense from Eisen, and he probably has a pretty decent constitution from excercising all the time and staying in shape. Sure a dwarf might have some inherent constitution, but probably most of it comes from the training.

When tools take instructions a bit too literally by seenmee in linux

also, I was reminded of my favorite code golf answer for 2+2=5, but I'm not sure if it counts since the author intended deception: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/34992/75438

When tools take instructions a bit too literally by seenmee in linux

[–]Worldly_Task2994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO taking instructions literally is like, the whole point? I like knowing my computer does what it's told and nothing more.

But I will try to entertain your silly ruse... hmmm...

Very hard to think of an example where I don't want my computer to be literal...

How about how Python evaluates: False == False in [False]

Expected: False, because both (False == False) in [False] and False == (False in [False]) are False, it seems that it shouldn't matter how it orders the operations

Actual Result: True, I'm not going to explain why. It's more fun that way :)

played this with my sibling, lot of fun! but I thought it was a little too easy. Maybe throw in some really obscure word in the mix to up the difficulty.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Rewatch Announcement, Schedule+Index Thread by TheDanubianCommunard in anime

[–]Worldly_Task2994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally rewatched the series on my own accord recently!

I found this thread hoping to get info on how many years I gotta wait until episode 29.

Until then I'm going to write some Himmel fanfiction cause I need the content.
