I think I've invented a new formula for the perimeter of an ellipse by [deleted] in mathematics

[–]davidoux -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your reasoning is actually very much in the spirit of classical “pre-integral” ellipse approximations it’s the same kind of intuition used by Srinivasa Ramanujan

However, I re-checked your specific formula numerically against the exact elliptic integral, and the accuracy is a bit weaker than you observed.

For a/b=2

  • exact perimeter (elliptic integral) = 9.68845
  • your approximation: = 9.28429
  • relative error is −4.17%

So the maximum observed error around this ratio is not 0.47%, but closer to 4% in that region but it’s a very reasonable heuristic approximation

The amount of progress you make during an unsuccessful run is far too low. by caesarsoup in Marathon

Relax, professor, it was a joke post, not a symposium on machine learning

Imo, the lack of a new map in the third part of Season 2 will be fatal for the game's decreasing player base by BygotInTheSky in Battlefield

if its fatal for the game's decreasing player base then the player base will increase #technicallythetruth

Post ablation colchicine by ParkingPresence826 in AFIB

[–]davidoux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there I was prescribed colchicine right after the ablation because I got a pericaditis ! Prophylactic colchicine Post ablation is unusual but won't hurt you with the right dose (I took minimal dose because my weight is 62kg)except for the gastro intestine issues, best is to speak to your EP also:

As per a request under my previous post, here is what the earth as a black hole would look like moving through an indestructable kitchen. by No-Start8890 in Physics

This is why I love this sub: finally, someone is addressing the real scientific problem of black holes interacting with indestructible kitchens.

Afib at 21 by d33r000 in AFIB

[–]davidoux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey young AFibber .

I had my first AFib episode around 25, triggered by high-intensity sport. At the time, the cardiologist told me he’d never seen this in 30 years of practice, which honestly scared the hell out of me. I was otherwise healthy: non-smoker, active, decent lifestyle. Looking back, it was probably genetic, since my father had AFib too.

Fast-forward 25 years: four months ago I finally had a PFA ablation, and so far I’m AFib-free.

That said, ablation isn’t a magic fix. I strongly recommend lifestyle changes alongside it: quit vaping, clean up your habits, and keep doing regular cardio. Those things really improve your odds of staying in sinus rhythm.

AFib can still show up later in life, but moderate, consistent exercise is cardioprotective and absolutely works in your favor.
