- Comment on What is the actual point of a bra? 3 months ago:
I’m actually quite interested in dress history. I’m an engineer at heart and clothing is fundamentally also an engineering problem (and design of course). It’s an area of engineering that was always dominated by women and you can sometimes see the novel approaches that brings.
For example historical corsets were actually quite comfortable when fitted right. One reason why is actually breast support. Predecessors to the modern Bra did exist but were not in fashion as a more compressed looking bust and later a shaped silhouette was in fashion.
Also it’s cool what tricks one can use to form the silhouette without extremely compressing the waist (which is how many modern people often think is the function of a corset).
I recommend Bernadettes channel on this topic: link

I mean I wasn’t really serious as we are in a shit post community right now.
But do you realize how fucking hard it is to keep US politics out of your experience here? So many seemingly unrelated communities post election bullshit it’s not even funny :/
I do think that the next presidential US election is important not only for Americans but the world. Although it really is tiring to watch from over here and I can only imagine how tired most Americans must be…

I would love not knowing about any debate but lemmy is like: Nope you’ll read American “news” if you want to or not.
So next time keep your national humiliation fetish at private please

My use of language could very well be incorrect. I am not a native English speaker anyways. That’s no reason to be so condescending.
I was just merely stating my credentials to have a basis of discussion but you do not seem to be interested in that.
- Comment on 🔔 SHAME 🔔 6 months ago:
I know. I’ve studied this extensively. I am specialized in formal logic and by extension set theory. I’ve worked with and help write actual research papers in this field where this is basic knowledge.
I’ve never claimed their to be a bijection between the reals and the natural numbers. Please point out what statement I made that is wrong. I would very much like to know.
Also no you do not have to accept choice for this to be true. ZF is perfectly acceptable to study various infinite sets with differing cardinality.

That is until you meet analysis people that define a symbol for infinity (and it’s negation) and add it to the real numbers to close the set.
Also there are applications in computer science where ordering stuff after the first infinite ordinal is important and useful.
Yea unfortunately we do kinda calculate with infinity as a concrete thing sometimes in higher level maths…
- Comment on 🔔 SHAME 🔔 6 months ago:
That is the way it is often taught but actually both sets are infinite that is have no ends or in other words are not bounded.
The thing that is confusing to understand is that the question how many there are and how much there is diverges at infinity.
Our intuition (as finite beings) is broken here. Both sets are infinite but in one is more than in the other. That does not make one set more infinite than the other. You cannot be more unending than to literally have no end.

Infinity + infinity = 2 * infinity 3 * infinity … Infinity * infinity = infinity^2 Infinity^3 … Infinity^infinity …
If infinity is the “first” i.e. Natural infinity than those are all well defined things (Ordinals)

I was just pointing out that your emotional plea, that this technology is just autocorrect is not an argument in any way.
For it to be one you need to explicitly state the implication of that fact. Yes architecturaly it is autocomplete but that does not obviously imply anything. What is it about autocomplete that barrs a system of the ability to understand?
Humans are made of meat but that does not imply they can’t speak or think.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 6 months ago:
That is not an argument. Let me demonstrate:
Humans can’t communicate. They are meat. They are not communicating. It’s literally meat.

- Comment on gatekeeping 11 months ago:
No you can have numbers past infinity op is wrong.
As for how to order past the first infinity it’s easy.
Of course first you have 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < … Then you take a new number not equal to any of the others let’s call it omega. Define omega to be larger than the others. So 1 < omega, 2 < omega,…
This you can of course continue even further by introducing omega + 1 which is larger than omega and therefore larger than all natural numbers.
You can continue this even further by introducing a new number let’s call it lambda that is bigger than all omega + x where x is a natural number.
This can be continued forever i.e. an infinite amount of times.
- Comment on gatekeeping 11 months ago:
No cardinal and ordinal numbers continue past the “first” infinity in modern math. I.e. The cardinal number denoting the cardinality of the natural numbers (aleph_0) is smaller than the one of the reals.
