HexSumGame.com @mathmisery.bsky.social · 03/10/2026ok #mathsky, here's a first. i had a dream about solving some PDE and it was a swirl about discretizing the finite difference method. let me tell you, i haven't touched a pde in ~20 years and even then when i worked heavily with them, i never dreamt about them! what does this mean? :D 140
HexSumGame.com @mathmisery.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Now's a good time to try out all the game modes! hexsumgame.com Different modes for different folks!

Reposted by HexSumGame.comCarl @mathowitz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I mean... sure, but isn't it a much richer (memorable) experience when Ss are able to connect through-lines from one lesson to the next, one unit to the next & one class to the next? Without so-called prereqs, isn't it a collection of free standing short stories? With prereqs it's a cohesive novel. 111
HexSumGame.com @mathmisery.bsky.social · 01/10/2026yeah, i was saying that just from a mass per area perspective, 100kg per sq km doesn't feel like a lot, since it is "just a tree" per square km. but it's doubtful that all of that stuff is concentrated into a point mass kind of thing. like i remember NJ beaches from the 1980s. 000
HexSumGame.com @mathmisery.bsky.social · 01/10/2026broad stroke: a 65' tree with a 13" diameter is about a ton. so 100kg of garbage per square kilometer is the equivalent of one of these trees every square kilometer. i guess it comes down to how diffuse this is. tree source: thetimberlandinvestor.com/how-much-doe...thetimberlandinvestor.comHow Much Does a Tree Weigh?

HexSumGame.com @mathmisery.bsky.social · 30/09/2026i feel that i get it especially in my casino gaming days where we had to do various types of counts of poker hands (for poker variants), blackjack side bets, etc. from an applied standpoint, simulations work, but sometimes building the right equivalence class makes things easier. 010

HexSumGame.com @mathmisery.bsky.social · 29/09/2026part of me feels that a technology, if it is truly of value, will go through a maturation stage [which AI is definitely not in right now] and a sign of maturation is miniaturization. 1T+ parameter models are unsustainable computationally, as an example. 110
