The more I look at it, the more I feel like my brain is being hacked.

This a great visualization of what LLMs are about. The purpose of a LLM is to produce something that looks right. The way this math sheet looks great at first look, but the actual content is just garbage, same do LLMs create output that sounds right and it doesn't really matter if it is. And improving LLMs is not about making the answers more reliable, it's about making them sound even more convincing.

Some of the symbols are, uh, unusual.

I saw Tangent & Nor open for Iron and Wine, they were pretty good.

$$ \sqrt{\sec(\theta)-1} $$

it's kinda fucked that some of it is right

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

There is enough of it that randomly being right was likely.

But being partially right is even worse, since someone might recognize the right parts and think the rest must be correct too.

For a second I really thought all of high school math had left my brain.

Facebook is so screwed.

Like, I didn’t think anything could kill the Behemoth, then Zuckerberg says hold my beer.

I'm feeling like we're the last generation to have had the privilege to live in a world where knowledge was valued, rather than the appearance of knowledge.

The masses don't seem to care if something is right, but don't take them for no damn fools!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Nah, it was always the appearance of knowledge, it's just never been this easy to produce it in these quantities

Its all in the tricks function )( X

This is pronounced ehims

Did you know that a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)?
Because this ai really wants you to know that

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I also usually really want people to know that, but it’s not “completing the square” or “wffence of txsquare.”

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Well it can't decide what the solution is:

a²-b² = (a+b)(-b)
[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago

That is the offense of a texas square according to those flawless notes.

I think I lost a a few braincells looking at this.

Like 8 of these are even correct

the sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isoceles triangle is equal to the square root of any remaining side

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

thats a right triangle, you idiot

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Is he wrong though!?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Am I missing something, it looks like a formula sheet

[–] [email protected] 49 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Almost all of it is wrong or just off/weird. It accidentally gets a few things correct, but notice how often things are repeated randomly. Remember your SOHCAHTOA and look at the triangle and the trig definitions it’s giving.

The third equation under “Calculus” is giving the quotient rule where it should be giving the product rule.

It looks like it’s trying to do power rule for integrals, not sure what’s going on in that section.

That bottom right graph looks like x^3, not x^2.

y=e^x is not the unit circle.

The section under discriminant is an illegible mess.

How to factor… I have no idea what is going on there.

The distance formula is wrong.

They rendered pi as “n.”

This is completely meaningless and worthless.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Gotcha, fact check the formula sheets from now on. Haven't used one in a long while but damn that's good to remember.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Just don't take your math advice from facebook.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

There don’t seem to be any good math pages on Facebook. I’d like some sort of “daily brain teaser” but it’s all ambiguously written arithmetic problems with parentheses and division, or shit like using “e” as a variable to be obnoxious.
