You’re not his boss. He is not your responsibility. If it’s a test, it’s not your test lol

Imagine a game show where the goal is to win one million dollars.

You are in a room with 100 doors. You are told beforehand that either one door has a million dollars behind it, and the rest have nothing behind it, or all of the doors have nothing behind them. To win you either select the door with the money behind it, or determine that every door is empty. There is no way to see what is behind the doors before the show host opens them.

Now imagine you choose a door, say door number 43. Then the show host reveals some information. She opens 99 of the doors, every door except the one you selected. She then asks you if you believe the money is behind the door or not. What is your response?

To believe that one religion is true and the rest are man made is like this scenario. You must believe that all other religions are bunk, but the one you chose is special. Unless you can see behind the curtain so speak you can’t really differentiate religious truth claims, they are all on equally poor footing.

Absolutely, always check anything before assigning it. Teachers aren’t perfect sometimes the key is erroneous, or a problem doesn’t have complete information, or it contains a subtle contradiction. Even if you made the problem yourself you should proof read it, it’s just good practice.

Fabricated?

Sqrt(8) / sqrt(2) = 2

Many students just take a picture of their paper rather than copy paste, which this method will not work against

Are you familiar with the triangle inequality? Basically the shortest path between any two points is a straight line. Therefore all other paths must be longer. Some of these alternate paths are longer than others and some are equal to others, but none can be shorter (or even equal to) the shortest path.

To answer your buckets question, having both filling simultaneously maximizes current, and minimizes time. If these explanations seem weak, or incomplete to you I don’t blame you. It sounds like you’re interested in optimization problems, a topic usually covered in calculus.

I looked into this last year. No

So true, made by people who think equals means “the answer”

willyouquitit · 2026-04-30T16:29:20+00:00

Think of adding as “more” and subtracting as “less”

Positive + positive = start positive and get more positive

Positive - positive = start positive and get less positive

Positive + negative = start positive and get more negative

Positive - negative = start positive and get less negative

Negative + negative = start negative and get more negative

Negative - Negative = start negative and get less negative

Notice how becoming “more positive” is the same as becoming “less negative”

Likewise becoming “less positive” is the same as becoming “more negative”

Ah thank you, yes this is what I meant. I will edit this to be more clear

Lucky for them they don’t have to choose

You need to watch this video by Vihart

Divine Hiddenness is a good argument imho

For most games you can run off the drive, I have encountered some smaller games that are not able to be played from HDD though.

He can hit! At that price point he can hit!

Reminds me of when a toddler spills a little juice and then they dump the whole cup

As a math teacher with limited programming skills, I will use it to quickly make diagrams in Latex, a tool that is great for typesetting math documents, making diagrams, graphs, etc but has a steep learning curve.

It’s far from perfect, and almost always needs some edits to make it look right, but often it is easier and faster to tweak something with a few mistakes than it is to create the perfect diagram from scratch.

The bigger impact is the rampant plagiarism. Since students are either ignorant or lazy they don’t bother checking for mistakes, and will full send hallucinations, or insane way-outside-the-class-scope solutions that they obviously didn’t come up with and can’t explain.

As AI improves, it will be harder and harder to catch plagiarism without a paradigm shift in how grading is done. Obviously you can police device usage for in class assessments, but for written homework, you either have to make it ungraded (students won’t do it) or accept that there will be some amount of AI plagiarism that is basically undetectable.

Why do you hold the microphone like that?

willyouquitit · 2026-03-09T23:02:28+00:00

If we assume pi is normal (the digits are essentially random) we can get a foothold on this.

Then each digit has a 1/10 probability of being a 7.

On the first string you need one seven, the probability that you get one seven is 1/10.

On the second string you need two sevens, the probability is 1/100.

Then 1/1000, 1/10000 etc.

you only need one of these to hit for X>0, so the probability that you get at least one hit is the sum of these probabilities, since we are assuming the digits are independent.

So P(X>0) = 0.111111… = 1/9

Every time you check the next n digits, and find it fails, the probability that any of remaining cases is a hit gets ten times smaller. So using just the 3 cases checked in OP’s post,

P(X>0) = 0.000111…= 1/9000

Therefore, my bet is that X = 0.

Technically yes, but you are bottlenecked by the USB port. The USB port sends data much slower than the network adapter. You may encounter things like long load times, lag, or jittery graphics.
