I can't find any actually funny, no-cliche science jokes.

Do any /sci/entists out there have some good original science, math, etc. jokes that don't suck?

Try proofwiki's jokes page, it's confirmed for the most autistic place on the internet. For instance
[math]$\int\frac{1}{\mathrm{cabin}} d\mathrm{cabin}=\ln{\mathrm{cabin}}+C$[/math]
[math]$=\mathrm{houseboat}$[/math]

Shit...How do you do display math on /sci/?
>>
>>7979064

It's easy! Well, not that easy. But it's better now than it used to be.

1) First, whatever LaTeX code you wish to employ, must ultimately be contained in the body of your 4chan post, and correctly formatted, /before/ you hit "post".

2) 4chan, specifically /sci/'s native implementation, entails that you must always enclose the body of your LaTeX code inside "math" tags, which are specific to this board, and not generic LaTeX commands as-such. In front, simply type "math" without the quotes, and then enclosed in the square brackets, for a total of 6 characters. On the end of whatever you're writing, do the exact same with the /single addition/ that you include the forward-slash / in between the left bracket and the letter m. This declares the end of your math code. IIRC "sci" tags have accomplished the same thing in the past here, and maybe they still work, but I haven't tried them in well over a year. Maybe they work too.

3) I don't think the mods or hot pocket men appreciate threads specifically about LaTeX, which can be frustrating for a beginner here. Still, the "stupid questions" threads are tolerated, so they're as good a place as any to sandbox when necessary, just don't be a nuisance with it.

4) in the quick reply floating window, which can be accessed by clicking on a post number in a thread, at top left of the window is a "TeX" symbol which leads to an internal sandbox space where you can work on your thing. It is now (finally) fairly robust; about a year ago when mootikins was still in office, the board outsourced this sandbox function to a third party site, and functional pieces of code I'd write there would not port to this board. Something about math mode, or not having the right libraries/implementation worked up. It's been mostly fixed for now.

5) For maximum legibility once you're confident enough to use large operators, I /strongly/ recommend always declaring /displaystyle right at the beginning. For the rest, search.

So if "it's not the volts that will kill you, it's the amps" then why do all the warning signs around electric fences say "DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE" and not "DANGER: HIGH AMPERAGE"?

Not really. Designer children will eventually replace all the newer generations of 'normal' children. The normal people like us will be long dead before a conflict between superior humans and normal ones can occur.

The burger goes into complexity,

tl;dr
if you set up a language, say with "1,2,3...,+,*,^,(,)" and potentially hyperexponentiation [math]\Delta [/math], so that
[math] 10\Delta 3:=((10^{10})^{10})^{10} [/math] or whatever (or any other operation).

In the worst case, a 7 digit number number like 4523255 has complexity C(4523255)=7.
but some numbers, like 4782969=9^7 actually have smaller complexity C(4782969)=3.
For the most part, C(n) behaves like log_10(n), corresponding to the cases where you need to use digits in base 10 and there is no representation using +,*,^ or whatever you introduce.
Up to numbers around [math] 10\Delta 10 [/math], the complexity typically grows [math] 10\Delta 9 [/math], except of course for the occasional stuff like [math] 7\Delta 8 [/math], which is an absurdly large number that nevertheless has just [math] C(7\Delta 8)=3 [/math] in your language.

With the value [math]VMU:=10\Delta 4[/math] he argues is basically the length of symbols you can use to express a number (quote: if you manage to build a Galaxy scale computer where storing stuff with [math]10\Delta 4[/math] symbols can be achieved), then most numbers in the interval (on those kind of scales) around them are naturally off limits.

The hard part is the illustrative examples. All of the examples that people will use will either require the axiom of choice or an infinite logical sentence, neither of which he deems acceptable.

>>7975561
That's actually pretty interesting. Is he actually looking for a hard number upon which to base ultrafinitist mathematics or is he just exploring the general area?

Also has he done any videos explaining how he handles induction?

After starting to study math, I've realized 99% of the human population is completely incapable of making any logically coherent argument.

Anyone else?

Reading statistics too has been kinda depressing. It's pretty much impossible to read the news nowadays.

get a calculator and try to approximate how dense the earth should be to have the same weight then.

though i know there is a lot of crazy shit that might make you assume the earth is hollow, it is bullshit.

If you want to do math/physics/whatever then just forget about your IQ and do it. After you have failed start crying about being born stupid or whatever. Just take care not to start crying and give up because the IQ test gave you 99.
