one propaganda, because there isn’t enough of that yet
-1, 0, 1, and 2 are the most important numbers. they are the basis of the integers, each of them providing something unique that every other integer builds off of.
all the other types of numbers, from rationals to reals to complex to transcendental, build off of the integers.
NaN, on the other hand, is the basis of nothing, and isn’t even that interesting on it’s own. I’ve been programming and dealing with floating-point numbers for years, and do you know how many times NaN has come in useful? precisely zero. even calculations that ‘should’ result in NaN, like dividing by zero, usually don’t even use it, instead just throwing an error. why? because an error is more useful than a NaN the vast majority of the time.
you know what NaN is? floating point filler. there were a bunch of bit representations left over (16,777,214 for the standard, 32-bit float) and the designers of the IEEE 754 float decided to make them all NaN because they didn’t know what else to use them for.

Total Watch Time of the Life Series
I recorded the total watch time for all POV's for each Life Series Season, then the Life Series as a whole to find out how long it truly is.
Third Life💚💛❤️ is about 3,616.53 minutes or 2 days, 12 hours, 16 minutes, and 32 seconds with each episode being about 36 min and 9 seconds long and having a total of 100 episodes.
Last Life❤️🩹 is about 4,634.98 minutes, or 3 days, 5 hours, 14 minutes, and 59 seconds with each episode being about 36 minutes and 47 seconds long and having a total of 126 episodes.
Double Life💕 is about 2,889.22 minutes, or 2 days, 9 minutes, and 49 seconds with each episode being about 36 minutes and 66 seconds long and having a total of 80 episodes.
Limited Life⏳ is about 3,446.57 minutes, or 2 days, 9 hours, 26 minutes, and 34 seconds with each episode being about 34 minutes and 7 seconds long and having a total of 101 episodes.
Secret Life📜 is about 6,004.83 minutes, or 4 days, 4 hours, 4 minutes, and 50 seconds with each episode being about 41 minutes and 42 seconds long and having 144 episodes. (Etho combined sessions 8 and 9, but Jimmy had an episode after his death so it balances out)
Wild Life🎲 (as the time I am writing this they are on session 7) is about 5,471.55 minutes, or 3 days, 19 hours, 11 minutes, and 33 seconds with each episode being about 43 minutes and 46 seconds long and having a total of 125 episodes.
Real Life🫀(If your including it) is about 399.87 minutes, or 6 hours, 39 minutes, and 52 seconds with each episode being about 30 minutes and 45 seconds long and having a total of 13 episodes.
As of writing this, the total run time of the Life Series (excluding Real Life) is about 26,063.68 minutes, or 18 days, 2 hours, 23 minutes, and 41 seconds over the course of 676 episodes. If you are including Real Life, the total run time is about 26,463.55 minutes, or 18 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes, and 33 seconds over the course of 689 episodes. That is over two and a half weeks of non-stop watching, not including adds, loading, bathroom breaks, etc. For reference, the total watch time of One Piece is around 26,208 minutes, or 18 days, 4 hours, and 48 minutes long. The Life Series is the new One Piece. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Wait until the general public finds out that AI are literally just teeming masses of n-dimensional vectors you can trick into being horny

idk if any y'all can relate to this but...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Working on stuff/reading in a room together >>>>> going out easy.
i love the vibe of computer scientists and general stem people so much. they're usually not talkative and can have mannerisms others might consider odd (or even rude), but i love just being in the same room as them. working on solving a math problem, exchanging ideas, or just silently coding next to each other.
i cannot stress enough how joyful of an experience that is.
Classmates watching me in a college level stem oriented calculus class like I’m a wizard for doing multiplication on paper during a quiz
"You won't always have a calculator with you." Was an in hindsight funny as hell thing to say to a bunch of kids growing up at the turn of the millennium, but learning the traditional ways is extremely worth it. If for no reason other than it makes me seem like some sort of sorcerer every time I do math in my head in front of my coworkers.
Where do small perturbations go to get their hair cut? The ep-salon :-)
Th1s 1s why mathemat1c1ans are 1n are the super1or STEM subject. We are r1gor0us unl1ke th0se stup1d meteor0l0g1st.
Here at the s0c1ety of undergraduate mathematics1cs students, we genu1nely l0ve mathemat1s.
I didn't wanna derail the other post but I still wanna spread some love for my favourite subject...
Reblog if you've ever felt genuine joy or excitement from doing and/or thinking about math
My message 1 s1mple, 1t’s to do mathemat1cs. Why d0es tumblr taunt me.
dont let my unintelligibility distract from my message
G00d an0ther str1ng the0ry hater!
Want to start studying theoretical physics again to better hate on String Theory
Y0u c0ward. Y0u are just scared 0f h0w 1nherently w0nderful and amaz1ng p1 is.
Why do mathematicians love pi so much? It's related to some shape, but they like that shape because it explains why pi shows up? Sounds like circular reasoning to me
At the S0c1ety 0f undergraduate mathemat1cs students, we are all math w1zards and can cast a ver1ty 0f advanced spells
Once you get to a certain level of advanced maths, you basically become a wizard.
This is B0b Crypt0, he l0ves mathemat1cs and uni0ns.
If c0mplex numbers has 0ne fan, 1 am i^4
if binary has 10 fans im half of them <- joke that would kill in 2011
That’s n0t g00d, y0u sh0ld get better at Math by tak1ng undergrad math c0urses and j01n1ng the S0c1ety 0f Undergraduate Mathemat1cs students
