On one hand I want to foster discussion so I don’t mind older posts being buried.

However it would be good to have the space organised by text books perhaps, but this may eventually get stale

I was thinking tags would be useful but i don’t know effective it would be to have #ArbitraryBook #ChapterOne #Question13 as tags to search for? Would it even work?

Cheers I’ll check it out and revert back

Edit: does an app like lemmy have the foundation to host something like a “specific math textbook forum” where subsections are dedicated to individual textbooks?

Thank you, I’ve posted in math.lemmy to see if anything crops up

 

I’m studying concrete mathematics by Donald Knuth and I find myself consulting ChatGPT quite a lot. It’s an effective study partner in my opinion if used sincerely.

However I feel this approach is missing a core element of mathematics which is collaboration with other people.

I’ve tried to look on the main maths discord channel but the society is too big and my queries get drowned out. Is there a book specific forum out there that I can find targeted musings on the questions I’m trying to solve?

Perhaps this is an opportunity to start my own server?

Just letting my mind wonder a bit but requirements for such a server would be:

  • specific books
  • question numbers
  • maybe those two can be achieved with tagging
  • latex integration

You’d also imagine that to get a server like this to actually take off we must all decide we’re studying the same book

I’m looking for a study group for a specific maths textbook I’m reading

Discord math forum is too big and my queries get swamped so I don’t use it

I’d appreciate some advice on this and also how to develop my federated use of the internet

It does for me too but I haven’t concluded it’s the optimal outcome

Valhalla only sounds like a nice place to go because I’ve played Skyrim

Let’s face it though: it’s probably a bit of a shit place to be what with all the fighting types of neuroses getting together makes for some shit energy to spend an eternity around

I have to grapple with where I stand with prostitution.

On one hand legalising prostitution probably prevents higher incidence of sexual violence because at least the “horny” component underpinning sexual violence has been dealt with safely

On the other hand, it’s sad to see people get strung along in these arrangements where it clearly looks like they’re being taken advantage of. (Emotionally lead on to believe they have something special)

However it may be “sad” to us the observers; but maybe this illusion is the best some of these people could hope for.

Spending less money on fast fashion and bullshit could actually be a good thing

Cancers just one or those bad ROI things

Like you’ve got enough money surely you’d have solved cancer by now?

Sometimes you need to “I dunno” totally slash the funding to stimulate the industry a bit you know?

Up the experiments, swirl more chemicals in your chemistry set and get us results!

It’s like arguing with someone who goes into specifics and then overtime pulls them back.

“I only have a problem with hispanic, illegal, transgender immigrants”

“I only have a problem with immigrants”

“I only have a problem with you”
