Why on earth would they delete a post with nearly 1000 likes? Cant quite see why

But his arms are making a triangle.

With angles that need to be found…

That is a great origin story for a username; what made you decide to stick with it?

What do you mean hyperinflation, Argentina is clearly the epitome of a stable free market economy.

There’s nothing wrong with those kind of bots But when you take an instance for example granitestate.social, I think that’s what it’s called, which when I was looking into it had 100,000 inactive accounts sat there doing nothing.

These bots that have been created over the course of maybe a week could be used to spam or brigade instances. Emphasis on COULD, maybe they just sit there. Who knows?

But many instances took to purging idle bot accounts that had been created on their instances and defedrating from instances that had excessive numbers of bots

These idle accounts are hard to detect, so only when they appear in large quantities are they removable.

Just to clear up really I guess, I’m not talking about a Reddit repost bot or twitter scraper, more large amounts of bot spam.

I want to remind everyone that Lemmy has had a bot crisis, a while ago I did some research into botted instances and I estimated something like 40% of user accounts are bots. Although this was a while ago so I’m not sure if that is remotely accurate anymore

Many instances will have taken steps to start purging user accounts, at the scale of Lemmy, that downturn could be entirely explained by these bots being removed

Obviously some users will leave but i do feel it’s worth noting this fact

I think it’s that new competitor, or is that threads?

Come on man, you think of how many Dads you’d make proud.

Just edit the comment

You know you want to

It is so much better now then it was a month ago so imo we are now a floating boat rather than a sinking one that we are using buckets to keep floating

My rule for Voice memos is that I only use them if we are both using them. Then it becomes alot of fun.

if pronounciation == mywayofsayingit:           
    print("yipee")
elif pronounciation == notmywayofsayingit:        
    print("you are objectively wrong")
else:
   print("I have no fucking idea")```

That one is one of the ones that I reckon the will slowly make a return as phone battery lives get more effective. Maybe not quite once a week but not having to charge my phone every day would be nice

I’m sticking with the 4a, buying second hand refurbished for like 180 quid on Amazon.

I don’t need a new phone, that has a slightly faster screen and slightly more memory. I’m quite happy as I am.

Right well that makes sense. And is also a very good point. I don’t really see why you couldn’t do that. So I guess it is arbitrary. Although you then have the question of which case occurs more commonly, which is imo actually quite interesting, but also entirely pointless, since good luck showing one case to be more than the other. It’s like that door and wheel question.

I don’t see it mate. So you’re going to have to tell me, sorry.

The point I’m trying to make is that using Pemdas/Bedmas is the most effiecent way of removing brackets - I actually don’t 100% know that but I doubt it creates hundreds of brackets - if thats slightly clearer.

I’ve said it before on Lemmy and I’ll say it again, but mindustry. It’s the game that has held my attention for years and years, it never quite gets old.

Yeah I haven no idea what I was saying when I said that, I’ve edited my comment a bit.

On that note though using your example I think I can illistarte the point I was trying to make earlier.

1 + (2*3) by always doing multiplication first we can remove those brackets.

(1 + 2) * 3 can be rewritten as (1 * 3 )+ (2 * 3) so using the first rule again makes a sense. That is a crappy explaination but I think you get my gist.

Yeah looking at my comment with fresh eyes, I really failed to say anything true.

But I’m still going to say its not arbitary, since its super fucking convinent and it removes a lot of brackets.

Pemdas isn’t as arbitrary as people in this thread think it is.

I love maths, and I’m going to butcher any attempt to explain why pemdas isnt totally random. But you can look it up if you wanna know more I guess

Besides no one ever uses that notation - by the time you learn about quadratics, you leave multiplication symbols out of the equation entirely and much of the notation changes shape, with division exclusively being expressed as negative powers or fractions.

At that point you aren’t going to make mistakes, since each hyperlevel uses a different style of notation. Pemdas is used to teach 4 year olds, and it’s fucking dumb. What happens with a log, or sine function. Don’t even get me started on integrals and derivatives.

Pemdas is shit, but not because it’s abirtary. In fact it’s shit because it’s a shithole acyromn

Yeah but the way you derive the order of operations is way above the average maths student.

I say that, but its not really that complicated to derive, since you think in terms of the expansion of the naturals to the reals

My brain is fucking dumb
