SunJester @sun-jester.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The Fermi paradox becomes a lot less paradoxical once you accept that "aliens will form constantly expanding interstellar empires" is not some self-evident truth. Just seems that a lot of people can't wrap their head around that 111

Reposted by SunJesterWhakim Download @plinkatron.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Here I have a function that interested me today, so I wrote a program to plot it. The way it’s defined is it takes the sign expansion of a surreal number and feed it to a conditionally convergent series. For example, if your input is 1.5, that corresponds to (++-) -> 1/1 + 1/2 - 1/3. 211
