exquisite tea posted:Imaginary numbers made way more sense to me after college when I heard someone explain them as just regular old numbers, but on the Y axis of the number line. Like you've got every real number on the X axis, but you wanna go up or down a little, that's an imaginary number. okay so what are numbers along the z and w axiiisis?

Khanstant posted:These infos seem extremely conflicting and at best reads like one of those games where it feels like an MMO or GaaS that switched gears mid development? Shooting + grind + loot is a funky triangle formula. Borderlands 2 did it okay, right up until grind started, then you quit playing so its fine. Not crazy about shooting game where I gotta stop and try and think about which gun is best right now. I'll settle for a looter shooter where there's no ammo refill, you just use gun until its out of bullets then throw it away forever. i agree that it is all very silly the dev's say it's not a GAAS so thats where i got that info from the reason anyone is farming anything in the demo is because progress carries over to the full game - but the demo is locked to only level 7 and a low world tier (which function like the diablo 3 Torment levels, the higher tiers increase mob difficulty and loot drops) so the drop chance for legendaries is really really small. people are farming for like 30+ hours and not getting one (i farmed for maybe 8-10 hours over the weekend and got 1. it was pretty chill) but i really like the gameplay so far, the devastator class is super fun, it encourages you to just fuckin run in and kill poo poo as fast as possible to keep yourself alive, reminds me a lot of Krieg's style of gameplay. there's a lot of different armor mods that affect your skills and your build with a lot of potential fun customization. so i'm looking forward to it!

Krieg is worth suffering through an FPS for, there is no joy in a shooter like not being the shooter, but the suicidal axe man where dying is a legitimate attack strategy.

The octonions can be thought of as octets (or 8-tuples) of real numbers. Every octonion is a real linear combination of the unit octonions: {\displaystyle \{e_{0},e_{1},e_{2},e_{3},e_{4},e_{5},e_{6},e_{7}\},}{\displaystyle \{e_{0},e_{1},e_{2},e_{3},e_{4},e_{5},e_{6},e_{7}\},} where e0 is the scalar or real element; it may be identified with the real number 1. That is, every octonion x can be written in the form {\displaystyle x=x_{0}e_{0}+x_{1}e_{1}+x_{2}e_{2}+x_{3}e_{3}+x_{4}e_{4}+x_{5}e_{5}+x_{6}e_{6}+x_{7}e_{7},\,}x=x_{0}e_{0}+x_{1}e_{1}+x_{2}e_{2}+x_{3}e_{3}+x_{4}e_{4}+x_{5}e_{5}+x_{6}e_{6}+x_{7}e_{7},\, with real coefficients xi. are mathmeticians okay, do they have drugs i dont?

Quaternions cover all axes up to the fourth dimension, yeah. Also thee's fun to be had with homogeneous numbers, where the extra dimension represents infinity. Both those kinds of 4-dimensional numbers are essential in modern 3d game programming, too! EDIT: ^ ^ ^ math is the greatest drug, you won't ever need any other!

Basically, math using vectors works out a lot better when the number of dimensions is a power of two. Octonions are just eight-dimensional vectors. (They're not very useful I don't think) Quaternions, being four-dimensional vectors, are very useful because when you want to transform a 3-dimensional vector (e.g., for computer graphics) you can just pretend it's 4D and do quaternion math.

here are all the numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 69, 420, 8008135, fifty cent, tree fiddy, schfifty-five, pi, avocado's number, 60, 365, 24, 7, 22, and 42. 8 is superfluous, two 3s superimposed with one 3 backwards does the same job. cheetah7071 posted:Basically, math using vectors works out a lot better when the number of dimensions is a power of two. Octonions are just eight-dimensional vectors. (They're not very useful I don't think) The fourth dimensional thing I almost understand from using blender, if only because some texture nodes rely on using 4th dimensional space options which i don't understand but still have used. ive read flatland before too, but all i remember is 2d guy clowning on those 1d chumps Khanstant fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Mar 2, 2021 |

I like that quite a few apparently intractable math problems can be solved with "what if we chuck in an extra dimension that only exists in your dreams?"

This is how Andrew Wiles proved Fermat's Last Theorem, which just causes googly symbols to float around my head like in cartoons to even read about.

Weedle posted:all numbers are imaginary. what is a four. it's not a thing. it's just an idea. like dracula cheetah7071 posted:The question you should be asking isn't "are numbers real" but "are numbers useful" this but unironically the one time I tripped my loving rear end off I thought really hard about how the complex numbers were lurking in the shadows of the real numbers, always there even if most people don't see/know/think about them, but they're there and they're much nicer than the real numbers. and then a couple months later I proved a fact about integers by plugging a primitive third root of 1 into an expression. wild poo poo Khanstant posted:The octonions can be thought of as octets (or 8-tuples) of real numbers.

I know its like marketed as being a completely separate game, but since a lot of people've been talking about it, is there any reason to play the original Bravely Default/End Layer before starting BD2? I technically own them both but it's kinda hard to go back to a 3DS after using Switch + Vita for handheld for so long, so I'm kinda tempted to just skip straight to 2 and hope they do a port of the original duology down the line.

BD is better than BD2 so that's a reason but there's nothing stopping you from skipping, no

thinkin about the time i was watching endgame and had to take a break because it was so long and boring and not over halfway through itself and these marvel ppl were all offended but then double offended when they realized i was watching a camrip lol only way im giving a film company superhero movie money is if i need to hide in a theatre to kill time to hide from an abusive paranoid roommate so thanks whoever made wonder woman i guess

I liked the first third of Endgame where everyone was just cripplingly depressed and there were almost no jokes. The other two Avengers movies (the first one and then the one with Ultron, I didn't actually watch Infinity War) were boring and the same movie but I really like how there's two tiers of Avengers - the ones who do stuff and the ones who don't do anything. Thor and Iron Man and Hulk are killing billions of enemies and cutting holes in spaceships and then you go to the ground level and Black Widow has a gun and shoots two enemies before deciding to just stop worrying about killing things and goes to fix a power line or something, and then Captain America has to punch one guy at a time and if they gang up on him he needs help Otherwise I haven't seen a Marvel Movie since Iron Man 1 which was okay
