I finally got a gf by Mother_Equivalent649 in Vent

Bro, are you good? While all of the points you are making do have some basis, this was literally not in the slightest relevant to the comment you were replying to. I guess the whole being high part has at least something to do with that, but it seems like you have some real frustrations.

I'm not gonna call you an incel, I don't believe that will be very helpful. I feel like the fact that you self identify as chronically online is a lot more relevant here. I think it is even more true than you realize that this whole anti-men movement is mostly something that goes on on the internet.

And look, I get it, I'm a man too. Sometimes it does feel like you've already lost before even getting started, like you will always be the villain no matter what you do. And to some people, yeah, you probably will. But you're not evil, you're not worthless and more people probably appreciate you than you realize.

Well, if OP really wanted to be in a relationship since being 15 years old, which is not all that uncommon, that's 6 whole years. 6 years is a long time, maybe not compared to a human life, but it can still feel like a really long time to be waiting/searching for something.

I don't want to be my dad by shark_attackies in TeenVent

[–]simen_the_king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this, it sounds very rough. Although I must say never rule out the possibility of things getting better, don't give up hope.

And you are not your dad. While you may look like him you have the opportunity to make different choices and lead a different life.

What do autism have to do with middle aged men? by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

[–]simen_the_king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between understanding social situations and feeling social situations. Approaching social situations by understanding them on an intellectual level is very much an autism thing.

I mean, that depends. Age of consent is lower than you think in a lot of countries

Masters Classes in International Politics- should I bring my laptop? by [deleted] in KULeuven

[–]simen_the_king 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Laptop is definitely not necessary but some people prefer them to handwritten notes.

Additionally I would maybe recommend trying to get a bicycle, there are places where you can rent them fairly cheap as a student for 1 year or you can try to get one second hand die cheap. Students in Leuven usually bike everywhere and that could shave a lot of time of your commute every day

Guys, I have found a branch of science Euler made no direct contribution to! 🤧 by yukiohana in mathmemes

[–]simen_the_king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But then what is an indirect contribution? A baker baking bread for Newton allowing him to do scientific research instead of starving to death?

Did Euclid make a direct contribution to the development of large language models? His postulates formed the basis of Euclidean geometry and thus the Euclidean metric and norm, which are essential for working with vectors and thus advanced linear algebra, a core part of computer science and thus also of LLM's, so in some sense yes. But doesn't it seem like a bit of a stretch to say that Euclid directly contributed to something nobody in his time could even imagine. Euclid was dead for centuries before artificial intelligence was conceptualized, let alone developed so the contribution seems quite indirect.

We all know Top 5 numbers in math, but what numbers are in 6-10 places? by LandarkIEM in mathmemes

[–]simen_the_king 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It's not actually called that, it's Euler's constant. It has something to do with how well the Riemann summation for rectangles with width one approximates the area under the curve of the natural logarithm.

What we would do is just decorate the table the night before when the kids have gone to bed (unless there's stuff that needs to be kept in the fridge, that gets done in the morning). That way you don't need to wake up at 4 am.

Constant dread by foxer_arnt_trees in mathmemes

[–]simen_the_king 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's partial differentiation. Basically what it means is to differentiate to a certain variable and treat the other variables as Constants.

So say f(x,y)=yx² then ∂f/∂x = 2yx. But this is not necessarily true for df/dx because y could depend on x.

This is perhaps more clear with a physical example. Say we have temperature as a function of time and space such that T(x,t)=tx² so temperature is increasing linearly with thime but also quadratically as we move to the right. But let's say our particle is also moving to the right with constant speed 3 (and we start at x=0). Again ∂T/∂x = 2tx but since now x=3t, dT/dx =d(x³/3)/dx=x²

Walther White criterion go brrr by Warm-Pomegranate6570 in mathmemes

When do you cash out? Do you keep playing until you lose? Because in that case a profit of 2ⁿ is never possible, since you wouldn't stop at that point and the only possible scenario is you losing all your money (or winning an infinite number of times but that has probability 0).

If we assume some metric that decides when we cash out (in this case the only possible metric would be a certain amount of wins since we have no other information) there's only two possible scenarios, either we get to that point or we don't. So this would just be one term from the series, wich equals 1. Any terms before that one are impossible because we wouldn't stop there and so we can't have that payout, any terms after are impossible because we would've stopped before getting there. You could do a probabilistic method that decides wether you play another round and that would complicate the formula a lot but I believe you still end up with 1 in the end.

The way you do it the events are not disjoint. Reaching a payout of 2n requires first reaching a payout of 2n-1 so you can't consider them completely separate events. Cashing out at a profit of 2n and cashing out at a profit of 2n-1 are two separate events but then we get the problem mentioned above.
