I feel that categorizing people into math-doers and people that just merely apply formulas is insulting in general. Mathematicians can too use other people's theorems without working out all the details, not just people the working in

Yes, I really wasn't aware. > but it seems too trivial a result to even be something worth commenting on. Yes, but I also think it is memetic and lovely enough to remembered it if you've encountered it. Calculating 52% of 2

Is this true tho? It feels like a made-up reply and gaslighting. You demonstrated that you can say the opposite of what OP experiences. Now what?

As a person who has a degree in math, I can claim that I easily understand it. Yet I wasn't aware of it, and I've never used it (as a mental math trick). It was definitely surprising that it is true--and I wasn't aware of it.

Indeed. It is an uncomfortable read, and it avoids any factual or relevant information.

I think we can pretend now that anyone talking about pi is just being sarcastic? It is such a random and useless number, a perfect candidate for a funny meme

by bmacho 2y ago
Numbering should start at π (2025) (umars.edu) It's funny because pi is the joke compromise between 0 and tau, the circumference of the unit circle, and the period length of the trigonometric functions.

Ah you mean the OS is in the ROM , soldered to the motherboard, maybe not even writeable. Sure, I don't know about that, maybe your example is the only one

Equating caring and wanting it to be better was a mistake on my part. It made my comment not true, and it made you worked-up. Sorry for that. All in all, I don't think that other forms of caring apply either. I think that parroti

Why wouldn't they? Also they have the have the formula because they've already done it. And it works, why wouldn't they want to keep doing it, but more?

Yes it is. You've accounted the price of the heat in efficiency/fuel cost already, the heating is free, and not "exceptionally expensive heat". I wish there were a common framework for this lose and hand-wavy accounting.
