@Simply Hiya

Heyo
I wrote SOAP up
Nilknarf
yay!
show me!
oh, nvm. Found it!
Simply Beautiful Art
:P
Nilknarf
whoah whoah, complicated
Simply Beautiful Art
X'D
It's the simplest function I could write who's growth rate was that fast.
Nilknarf
00:32
geez
Is this your best one yet?
It's hard for me to tell :P
Better than PAIN?
Simply Beautiful Art
WAY STRONGER THAN PAIN
@Nilknarf and no
There is stronger SOAP
Perhaps I'll call it DETERGENT.
Nilknarf
...good luck turning
that
into an acronym.
BLEACH
XD

Bio-Luminescent Extra Array Character Horrors
Nilknarf
Oh god, you're taking a long time to respond. Please don't tell me you're actually trying to turn DETERGENT into an acronym.
Simply Beautiful Art
I did try
I got to the last E and gave up
Don't ask
Nilknarf
00:37
Awwww
so clooose
Simply Beautiful Art
X'D It was horrible
Wanna try expanding some SOAP?
Nilknarf
Ok, but go easy on me
Simply Beautiful Art
The more we rub, the more the SOAP turns to bubbles, and then we count the bubbles at the end x'D
You pick what you wanna work with
SHOOT, I missed a thingy
Nilknarf
Never before in my entire life has anyone asked me "wanna try expanding some SOAP"?
D:
Simply Beautiful Art
it's just one line of SOAP
Which is going to be terrible to fit in, thanks to the horribly golfed MathJax
Nilknarf
00:40
XD
Hey, have you taken physics by any chance?
Simply Beautiful Art
Fixed it
I've taken AP Physics 1 and Mechanics
I'm taking AP Physics E&M
Nilknarf
Did you guys do circuits with resistors and stuff?
Simply Beautiful Art
Yeah
Nilknarf
We're doing that right now
Simply Beautiful Art
Nice
Nilknarf
00:43
and I love it :D
Simply Beautiful Art
:D Yeah same
You in AP Phys 1?
or 2?
and wanna try expanding some SOAP in less than 20 minutes?
Nilknarf
I'm in 1 right now, but it turns into physics 2 next semester
sure
Simply Beautiful Art
Shall I choose the expression?
Nilknarf
DETERGENT (Dastardly Eventually Terminating Extremely Rapidly Growing Explosive Nerdy Thing)
Simply Beautiful Art
Btw, you think it'll be hard to get a 5 on the AP Phys exam?
@Nilknarf x'D Genious!
Welp, you're taking too long, so we're gonna do $g(\{-1\},2)$
Can't be too big, right?
Looks pretty innocent...
$=g(f(\{-1\},2,\{-1\},2),3)$
Nilknarf
00:50
Blarg, sorry
I'm here
bad internet D:<
Simply Beautiful Art
Oops, some typos
Fixed definition again
:-(
f({-1},2,{-1},2)
= {f({-1},1,{-1},1),-1}
= {{f({-1},0,{-1},0),-1},-1}
= {{1,-1},-1}
Where we use the f({x},...) rule
Not so terrible at all yet...
g({{1,-1},-1}, 3)
= g(f({{1,-1},-1}, 3, {{1,-1},-1}, 3), 4)
Nilknarf
Meh, idk about the AP exam
Actually, I was planning on taking the AP Physics C exams this year as well (I've been doing independent study & calc along w/ my physics class)
I'm more worried about that
How'd you do?
Simply Beautiful Art
f({{1,-1},-1}, 3, {{1,-1},-1}, 3)
= {t, 3, {f(-1, 3, {{1,-1},-1}, t)}}, where t = {f({1, -1}, 3, {1, -1}, 3), -1}
Ugh, what a messy expansion!
This is also the first step that requires us to expand recursively
Nilknarf
yucky
Simply Beautiful Art
It'll probably take up a quarter of the page or so to finish the recursion
And g only managed to expand two steps
@Nilknarf I've been getting 5's
Nilknarf
00:55
Yeah, that's what I thought
Take any AP Histories?
Simply Beautiful Art
@Nilknarf They were pretty easy for me, but you'll probably have difficulty with the physics interpretations of calculus.
I hate history
Nilknarf
I have AP US History this semester
Oh yeah, it's a lot harder
But even a 3 or 4 on an AP Physics C exam as a sophomore should look good on a college application XD
Simply Beautiful Art
But I took
Human Geography,
World History,
US History,
and I'm taking Macro-econ and US Govt
Got a 3 on US History
4's on the other 2
:| Either way, good luck mate
And don't let the physics fool ya
Nilknarf
Yeah, that's pretty much how I'm feeling about histories
Haha ok
Simply Beautiful Art
Now an interesting challenge...
Nilknarf
00:58
ok
Simply Beautiful Art
Prove that g is total
Nilknarf
total?
damn, gtg
Time to wikipedia "total function"!
Simply Beautiful Art
$g(x,n)$ is finite for every $n$ and some fixed $x$.
That's what I challenge you to prove
Nilknarf
Oh, yeah
so basically that it's a function
defined everywhere
Ok, I'll try
cya!
Simply Beautiful Art
:P Good luck and cya

consider the set of increasing functions from N to N under the partial ordering domination
can I embed omega_1 inside?
4 hours later…
Simply Beautiful Art

@LeakyNun :| Maybe.
Leaky Nun
@SimplyBeautifulArt why that face?
