So yes attoms are expanding. everything is expanding. I mean that very literally.

Let me put it this way.

If you had a million year old meter stick. It would always be a meter. Accurate to the definition of a meter using the wavelength of I don’t remember what off the top of my head. It would always be a meter exactly.

But.

If you magically placed the meter stick next to itself from a million years ago, they would not measure the same. Even though they started with the same definition.

Like I said. Space isn’t expanding. Distance is.

EDIT I don’t mean the distance between things is expanding. The definition of what a distance was is expanding. So yes, attoms, when measured by size (the distance from one edge to another) has also expanded.

But in the same breath, the measured distance never changes. Because the way you use to measure distance has also expanded by the same amount. So nothing ever changes in reality, but everything is just constantly bigger.

Physics is full of hard to explain paradoxes.

I see where this is diverging a little bit.

But everything is expanding. Including matter. But the mass isn’t chaning.

But this also includes the space in between the objects.

So objects are getting further apart, but so are the objects getting bigger at the same rate.

The mind bend for me was realsing it’s not space that expanding really, it’s distance.

This is why distant light is red shifted. Because what started out as white, has had the wavelength expand with the universe, making it appear more red.

That’s not how subgroups work…

Because that’s not how LLMs work.

When you form a sentence you start with an intent.

LLMs start with the meaning you gave it, and tries to express something similar to you.

Notice how intent, and meaning aren’t the same. Fact checking has nothing to do with what a word means. So how can it understand what is true?

All it did was take the meaning of looking for a number and strawberries and ran it’s best guess from that.

Literally anything that requires knowing facts to inform writing. This is something LLMs are incapable of doing right now.

Just look up how many R’s are in strawberry and see how chat gpt gets it wrong.

Both Ubuntu and mint are debian based.

If what others have said about there being a solid orange wallpaper, I have questions about the art

My whole point is that a “straight done”, in general, doesn’t exist in the first place. Because in general definitions are actually really hard.

It’s not that it’s important to me. It’s that I’ve spent many parts of my day on the phone with the bank, and never should be taken for more than an asshole on the internet. Sorry if you thought I was more invested than that.

Except here you said here

That they all must be equal.

Tangents all be equal to the point would be exponential I thinks. So I assume you mean they must all be equal.

Granted I assumed constant, because that’s what actually produces a “straight” line. If it’s not, then cos/sin also fall out as “straight line”.

So I’ve either stretched your definition of straight line to include a circle, or we’re stretching “straight line”

But then your definition of a straight line produces two different shapes.

Starting with the same definition of straight for both. Y(x) such that y’(x) = C produces a function of cx+b.

This produces a line

However if we have the radius r as a function of a (sorry I’m on my phone and don’t have a Greek keyboard).

R(a) such that r’(a)=C produces ra +d

However that produces a circle, not a line.

So your definition of straight isn’t true in general.

Sorry that’s not what I’m saying.

I’m saying a line with constant tangent would be a circle not a line.

Let me try another way, a function with constant first derivative in polar coordinates, would draw a circle in Cartesian

I’m saying that the tangent of a straight line in Cartesian coordinates, projected into polar, does not have constant tangent. A line with a constant tangent in polar, would look like a circle in Cartesian.

Only true in Cartesian coordinates.

A straight line in polar coordinates with the same tangent would be a circle.

EDIT: it is still a “straight” line. But then the result of a square on a surface is not the same shape any more.

Can you see how “there’s not a better solution” isn’t addressing the problem that crypto is fundamentally a scam?

Also, you can’t pay your rent with crypto either….

EDIT: if you want crypto to pass my sniff test, you have to explain where value comes from.

Fiat currency is valuable because I can pay my taxes with it. (This is really the only reason it has value).

So what underpins crypto value beyond “it’s the future”

All (capitalistic) money is a scam.

We’re just forced to use a currency because governments say so.

So yes, your crypto is still a scam. Because money still vanishes into thin air when line goes down.
