So Im Not Saying Any Details, But Theres Def An Email Address Out There Whose Password Is The First 8

So I’m not saying any details, but there’s def an email address out there whose password is the first 8 digits of the Fibonacci sequence

what are your thoughts on the fibonacci sequence

i am such a big fan of the fibonacci sequence the fibonacci sequence is my phone passcode <3

I’d like to share a couple of highlights of my discord messages today.

AAAAAAA I HATE INDUCTION

The book my team is using as a reference suppressed a really specific detail of a proof by hiding it as an exercise

And it’s like 8 pages of induction

11:40 pm

Frothing at the mouth ok there are a couple of problems with my induction and the actual proof is like three lines of triangle inequality.

anyway, the moral of the story is that in a δ-hyperbolic geodesic space (one where any point on a side of a triangle is within δ of the other two sides), any 8δ-local geodesic (a path that is preserves distances between any two points within 8δ of each other in the domain) stays uniformly within 2δ of the geodesic connecting its endpoints.

I didn't expect to be so annoyed by this take.

It's a reasonable take.

But also the point of mathematics is the exploration of beautiful truths, and the more we lose sight of that, the worse off we are.

Sure we have pedantry to back up, prove, and clarify our beautiful observations, but the observing is the fun part.

(Just read some of and highly recommend Martin Weissman's "An Illustrated Theory of Numbers" and holy cow is it beautiful)

Potentially a hot take but the whole point of mathematics, especially pure mathematics is to be pedantic. We want to be sure what we're doing makes logical sense.

Sure you have experiments to back up your flimsy mathematical arguements but we care about details because that's what maths is.

there should be a flat-earth-like conspiracy theory for every 2-manifold. show me the real projective plane earthers
