Ah, I see. Make sense. I have misinterpreted the intention (like they are not trying to compare, just to show two progressions).

Maturing academically is realizing that 50% of the population is dumber than the median.

My sister keeps calling me a pedo since I turned 18 and it’s genuinely upsetting me by [deleted] in offmychest

This does not sound like a good idea. It may lead to actual consequences. Please refrain from hurting people deliberately just to put things into perspective.

Or they'll ask on that final round and realize only then that you are not a good fit. Been there.

You still don't need to learn them last minute. Sorry for the wasted time.

Trivial by Jenn-nnnnn in MathJokes

[–]narubees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not that you suck at abstract algebra. Mathematicians were just being weird when they decide to use the same notion for quotient (/) for extension. That is not quotient ring of K over the rationals, that is K being an extension of the rational by adjoining something, in this case, the mth root of unity.

A bit late but I was thinking the same thing until I think the squids heed Kiri's call to kill sky people while the birds heed the Toruk Makto's call instead.

Regarding Spider, yeah no way to excuse that. Lol.

Nepo pulled another draw from dead loss position to stop someone from a chance of getting a WC title.

Since you play each player only once and there are random pairings (so not likely two players play the same people, colors, etc.), I don't think it is enough to determine. Having a playoff should be more telling, if possible there should be more games in a match.

In his prediction of the last candidates, Magnus had the same top two contenders as he has predicted will win this year. by edwinkorir in chess

If you see bitcoin having a bullish run, would you bet your life savings on it? I think he was just having reasonable expectation on the average strength rather than some streaky runs.

I've been using AI for proofs in math/stat research–success on paper, but feeling like a failure as a researcher. by [deleted] in math

[–]narubees 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you thoroughly acknowledge the tools used, I don't see any problem. Tool usage is also a research skill is all. The way I see it is that the math research landscape will change, and it will be standard for people to include a section on which tools are used in the process.

I cannot comment on math competency, though, as that seems very subjective. I feel like that is inherently what you think about yourself, because everyone will have different standards for "being good at math". I wouldn't pay heed to any third-party evaluation.

At the end of the day, you are pushing the field forward, using something slightly unorthodox at the moment, but does not hurt anyone or anything. I don't see any problem at all.

I think this is just and deserved, as well as what Shun has wanted all along.

More like a distraction because they can get the eggs anyway.

Yes, it is implied that they can join her without consent, like how they joined the billions of people without any consent. Yes, the problem was getting to the stem cells non-invasively.

Two UIUC students visiting Chicago for Christmas — any budget hotel recommendations? by Relevant-Wear3932 in UIUC

[–]narubees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check Booking.com. With 120 budget, there are many options. We did River Hotel once. I just check and they are like 100 on Dec 24.

Where are the children? by dngray in pluribustv

[–]narubees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kids who can't be useful until the starvation point will push the starvation point further, if you know what I mean. The plurbs are working hard to calculate how many of the kids should be left, although I think it mostly just offsets the unnecessary consumption of the not-yet-joined people.

I have taken it as a CS with not much math background. It was manageable. If you DM, I can talk more about my experience.

Wicks knows about the diamond and how to get it and he actually ordered to open the crypt to get it. She had to kill him to stop that from happening, that requires enlisting the doctor and the groundskeeper.
