    From a global perspective, I come from a wealthy background, as I was born into a country with high-quality public-funded healthcare and education, giving me many opportunities denied many people in other countries.

      The contention is "math has only one truth, it's not subjective!", but we are talking about human conventions and notations here, not the abstract nature of the concept of mathematical relations.

      In the real world, outside a given classroom that teaches one way, professional mathematicians do not even agree of whether the natural numbers include the number zero not.

      Smart people who want to communicate ideas will say "non-negative integers" or "positive integers" to be clear, rather than going on the barricades for the supremacy of a given interpretation. And professional mathematicians just do not write x/yz in their paper. Except when they do.

        @WimⓂ️ Yes. In many scientific contexts, implied multiplication by just putting things together without a "Β·" or "Γ—" binds tighter, basically because it's visually tighter. But in high school algebra that kind of notation isn't used much, so people haven't been exposed to the issue.

        @clacke Oh, yeah. We use it in the lower grades. And it is only later that they inform you why it looks that way, right around the time we switch to the front-slash.

        Also, I remember one instructor using the back-slash for truncated division (integer portion).

        @clacke I had a college instructor who said if there's any chance of misinterpretation you should be as clear and specific as possible. So write "x/(yz)" or "(x/y)z" as appropriate, even though "/" already has implied grouping.

                I'm already halfway through my baked potato when I realize that hey! This isn't a baked potato!

                They made a bread bun that looks like a baked potato and is stuffed with mashed potato! 😲

                It's actually very good.

                  I need to go back and check the shelf label. I think the sign just said "baked potato with egg and dressing". It's from a bakery, so I suppose the bread is implied. 🀷

                      They are mounting a legal defense against intellectual property infringement, but if it ends up bearing fruit, it will be very delayed while the harm has already been done.

                      @A Sweet Gentleman It's a tough dilemma, in an ever-expanding economy, you never expect your business to contract three years in a row. Publishing may even be one of the businesses best prepared for ebbs and flows because of the nature of book releases, but it just isn't enough to account for the negative paradigm change introduced by LLM systems.

                    #MiniReview #VideoGames Cult of the Lamb (2022) is a game I really wanted to like. The artistic direction is stellar between the subverted theme by the cute art style and the music, but this combo roguelike/survival village ended up doing both poorly for me, with fights often unreadable and a cult management that felt like a chore.

                        Aargh, trying to find a blog post from 10–20 years ago where the title goes something like "You can never tell anyone anything" or "People can't be told anything" about how difficult it is to communicate truly new ideas to people unless they've encountered the same issues you have and already sort of agree with you and you're just providing the last piece of the puzzle.

                        Could be Joel Spolsky, could be someone compleletely different.

                        Could be @Jeff Atwood ?
