@rossium Errata: A is a finite matrix with all 0's *except* the a_{ij}'s explicitly defined in the above construction. The operation Ax means performing \sum_{j=-1}^{\infty} x_j*a_j, where a_j denotes the jth column of A. This operation is well-defined since A is 0 almost everywhere.
@rossium Describe the state as a markov chain with states in -1,0,1,2, and so forth. Let A be a "infinite" matrix with all zeroes such that a_{11} = 1, and a_{ij} = 1/2 whenever either i = j-1 or i=j+1 AND j > 1, a_{ij} = 1.2. We work to find the steady state x such that (A-I)x - 0.
@rossium By construction, x_{0} must be 0. But then this implies that x_{n} = 0 for n > 0 as well! x_{-1} = 1 --- that is, the steady state is such that we fall off the cliff with certainty.
@Andwy6Jean@anarchist_frodo PhD here, from the Grievance studies affairs onwards into the reproducbility crisis in psychology and the AI problem in collegs, there’s compelling evidence to argue for a significant disconnect between education level and intelligence.
@Fishythefox2 Use of capital constitutes the (automated) reuse of previous labor. It doesn’t make sense to assign 0 value to this capital, because it implies 0 value of the labor used to construct it. (And why would anyone want to construct capital from worthless labor?)
@Fishythefox2 A moral argument that pushing buttons should justify full wages isn’t intuitive because you could argue that genAI artists are entitled to the full fruits of the art they generate.
@chippel@Smthingedgy Some people were not smart enough to see that 1/3 was bigger than 1/4, but that’s ok, since A&W decided later to market it as a 3/9lb burger and then people got it
@chippel@Smthingedgy Actually, it came up recently. If I eat a burger from A&W and you eat one from some other burger place — I’ve bought a bigger burger than you. How? Mine’s 1/3rd lb, and urs is 1/4th lb.
@qwagl@Hitchslap1 90IQ people struggle with college level algebra (ie. Solving simple linear equations, slopes, etc). They will *not* understand nuclear physics.
@chippel@Smthingedgy Word games yet teach math in an environment most closest to how you might see it in real life — why have people just do equations in a black box?
@Zelvussy@Andr3jH Zooming out, from an educator’s perspective, it is *far* more useful to invite this sort of creative thinking than unnecessarily force students into arbitrary (poorly defined) bounds.
@Zelvussy@Andr3jH Actually, the implicit assumption of both pizzas being the same size is unreasonable to make. However, it *is* reasonable based on the question wording to assume there must be some circumstance under which the scenario is possible.
if you sincerely think gooseworx deserves this for making a shitty joke 7 years ago, apologizing for it, and explicitly telling anyone using racism in her defense to go fuck themselves, you just hate trans women dog i'm sorry
After how Goose and the cast was treated, I genuinely think Glitch and other indie creators need to revaluate how they interact with their fan bases going forward.
The majority is fine of course. Genuinely supportive and passionate people. Some of y’all are actual actually evil.
It is interesting how every time a female or queer creator makes a popular show, the fanbase turns against them and blames them for everything.
Like Rebecca Sugar (enby), ND Stevenson (he’s trans), Vivienne, & Gooseworx. All queer, all liberal.
All with fanbases that hate them
