@smorty you’ve been a chatbot before, can you answer this question? what’s teosinte?

meow

tpu?? omfg that’s really cool I love it

Fuck you too

y’all see thumbnails???

wow this is like actually nicely written, it’s easy to scroll and read, it’s better than doomscrolling

noise machine

developable surfaces are like so important in my line of work I’m frustrated we didn’t learn about them in college

thanks for sharing good video

spinlaunch and Longshot Space seem to have some ideas in that regard

but I’m the user, I want the definitions to cater to me and describe my world. I want my definitions-based logic to make sense. And if torque is defined as joules but shows up as J/rad in the UI, then who supplies the /rad except an additional definition for a contradiction or exception? My conclusion from that is that the definition is missing something shaped like a base dimension for angle.

I understand that the taylor series used to define sin and cos is a function with a unitless input but practically, a lot of people like to use degrees for the input of sin and cos instead. I hate that it’s ambiguous, because calculator software devs use it as an excuse to misrepresent physical quantities like angular velocity, frequency, torque, etc.

Also, it’s very valuable to be flexible with the count of base units defined in the system. A lot of software is written with three (length, mass, time), some with 7 (as in SI), and I want to be able to shove in angle as a base unit in anywhere.

yep, I don’t think the question “what’s the cos of a unit” is valid because cos expects a plane angle in the input and a unit doesn’t meet that expectation; it’s underdefined; it depends whether the calculator is set to radians or degrees.

I strongly disagree with the definition itself. And yes, there are stops that prevent me from doing that in scientific computing resources like sympy, matlab, and my professors.

here’s an article which supports my reasoning https://arxiv.org/pdf/2108.05704

I seriously disagree with you, your you’re wrong.

heck no ☠️

wait really does hypoxia or rising CO2 levels make the sphincter open to attempt to breathe anally??

I agree. I believe science but I seriously think the BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) is wrong. They made SI bad by glossing over the necessary base unit of angle, there should be 8 base dimension, not 7.
