@lowqualityfacts And to quantify exactly how unfair is life, don't forget that -

@lowqualityfacts No, you don't.

@lowqualityfacts Calculus is fun if you use it to measure butts.

You study Calculus to understand that if the rate at which the world is becoming more cruel and unfair is decreasing, that's not the same as the world becoming less cruel and unfair.

you study calculus so that in late undergrad/ grad school you can learn that computers can do math faster and more repeatably than humans ever could. They should teach kids how to do calculus using a computer, not pencil & paper.

Still paying for not learning The Calculus 50 years later.

@FelisCatusDomesticus @lowqualityfacts In part one has to understand it though, and one doesn't understand just by asking Wolfram Alpha.
But rote memoization ruins maths. And school does way too much of it.
Also maybe even the order of things could be changed. Maybe even first teach the idea of the derivative, then start using it via computer, and introduce the rules of how it is calculated later (when one can also already just enter lots of examples into the computer to try it out, or even infer the patterns yourself)?
In school it is already not taught the "right", "provable" way. For that you would have to start with limits and stuff, which is way beyond school, but rather university level. So one may as well embrace this even more... and even do computer aided curve discussions before one even knows how to derive x^n?

@lowqualityfacts you study calculus so that when bodybuilders do a human pyramid at the beach, you can calculate the slope of the tanned gent line.

@lowqualityfacts If only my parents sold calculus that way

@bbatsov imo there's a difference: I've seen (and written) a ton of bad code but that "works".
Like, 1000 line functions with global state which gives the right results.
OTOH, LLMs still produce, relatively often, code that does not work and then pretend it does.
Which sometimes people do too, but those are the people you want to fire.

Dazi che botta!
@giornalismo
articolo21.org/2026/02/dazi-ch…
Non c’è alcun Re a Washington. La Corte Suprema degli Stati Uniti,con la clamorosa sentenza che definisce illegali i dazi decisi e imposti da Trump, di fatto stabilisce che gli Usa sono una repubblica democratica con un parlamento e non una monarchia con un sovrano dai poteri assoluti. La Corte, che è a maggioranza

Un governo socialmente pericoloso. Nuovo Decreto sicurezza e stato di polizia
@anarchia
La produzione di norme repressive da parte del governo Meloni non conosce soste. Ormai l’unica priorità è diventata quella della “sicurezza”. Si alimenta una vera e propria psicosi amplificando (o inventando) fatti di cronaca allarmanti per giustificare una torsione

@ALFA ma infatti, le potenzialità sono infinite.
Dove trovi un bidet in spiaggia? Per dire.
