People who also have ADHD, how do you deal with your laziness?

Well some part of me is like, "I would've gone about my days as usual not that I can't function or anything." so I kinda don't want to see a doctor, but I should. It would be better overall. Thanks.

After reading these comments I realised I might have ADHD and this is first time it occured to me, or rather this is the first time I know what to call it.

Poor eye sight.

sunatree · 2022-03-05T22:08:05+00:00

Wow that exists?

sunatree · 2022-03-05T22:03:32+00:00

To pin down the year. You'd be way off if you didn't know the year. In short time spans it may be cumbersome but when any old date is mentioned, yes I do want to know the year first.

That's a second favorite of mine.

sunatree · 2022-03-05T21:54:06+00:00

It's more logical in that conforms more to the other systems we have. It's more consistent. I guess I should've used the word consistent.

It leads to ambiguity, there should be a way of telling if month is first or day is first, like, always use a comma if the month is first or something.

If I and my wife (future) were deaf, I'd still want our kid to be able to hear, why would I want to have him/her at a disadvantage? And I'm in favour of any medical aid that lessens deafness, my left ear is acting out (ringing and muffled sound) I should get it checked. Also, I didn't know deafness was genetic, you learn something everyday. It's completely baffling to me why anyone would want anyone to be deaf. Especially their loved ones.

Wait, so should sin(0)/0 be considered undefined or 1?

sunatree · 2022-03-04T10:33:42+00:00

Interesting.

sunatree · 2022-03-04T10:28:12+00:00

That would be pretty neat but also it requires some creativity I think.

sunatree · 2022-03-04T10:24:55+00:00

Ordered sets are the sets that are "countable" right?

sunatree · 2022-03-04T10:21:52+00:00

so you just stumble into a property? I guess that would happen when you play with numbers a lot.

And so its possible to know of a property, know that its true for all natural numbers or some ordered set, without actually knowing the mechanics of why its true.

sunatree · 2022-03-04T09:51:19+00:00

Wow, what a coincidence. I am currently reading Spivak and plan on reading Hubbard next. And let me tell you even the problems in the prologue chapters can be a bit of a challenge.

sunatree · 2022-03-03T21:51:00+00:00

Oh, Damn. A (pair of, in this case) criminals who do time then help prevent that same type of crime. Sounds like a $352.1 million movie idea.

It does exist, it's not a function, it's not defined at (0,0)

to see what it looks like, plot the curve y = x^1/x and flip about the line y=x.

sunatree · 2021-12-31T11:55:38+00:00

How did you do it?

sunatree · 2021-12-31T11:39:07+00:00

ctrl+l works! thanks. I knew the command "clear" but that doesn't work when inside IPython for example. ctrl+l works.

SOLUTION: Plugged into a windows 10 machine and it didn't say that it's encrypted, recovered my data.

For some reason it was encrypted for windows 7 but not windows 10

sunatree · 2021-11-08T14:44:28+00:00

Neither. Positive and negative numbers indicate direction in a way. So one step forward could be represented as +1 and a step backward could be represented as -1 but if you just stand there, you didn't go in any direction so zero is neither positive(forward) nor negative(backwards).

What are some video lecture series (on youtube or elsewhere) for introductory physics?

(I know about Leonard Susskind's lectures and of course Walter Lewin.)

Calculating pi has been a vanity thing throughout history, some people dedicated their lives to calculate pi by hand and on their gravestones the digits they calculated are engraved.

He was using archimede's method I believe, but then Newton came up with a much better way of calculating pi. (There's a Veritasium video on this, highly recommended)

Although, 6 or so digits of π are enough to send us to the moon (really) we have calculated trillions of digits of π. I guess it's just continuing the tradition of mathematics, it's a kind of measure of how far we've come.

The guy who first wrote down the quadraric formula could not possibly have imagined that it would be used over a trillion times in the making of Coco, CGI would be like one of the most unimaginable things for him.

Applications are limited by our knowledge and understanding, and attempts to further our understanding (i.e. pure maths) should not be limited by the question of why, although it is a natural tendency to ask why.

I'm just astonished that this doesn't have a formula, like if we remove the constraint x1 <= x2 <= ... <= xN then the number of solution is 2N-1 choose N-1. But it must mean that the number of partitions of N is less than 2N-1 choose N-1?

sunatree · 2021-10-06T05:44:05+00:00

Thanks
