muh nigger, I've tried shitposting about this film here before, but never got any (You)'s.

It's a film with a lot of potential that it flushed down the toilet. Few interesting parts though. Some of Max's monologues were tight, and those jews and wallstreet brokers were a nice part of the plot. Going so far into the "muh patterns in pi" bs was stupid, and also alot of the psychosis sequences were just way too try-hard. The "tortured genius" meme is ofcourse overdone to death, and this film offered nothing new in terms of it.

Hey mathfags, can you redpill me on the Collatz Conjecture?

What does it mean? Is it some hidden pattern in numbers? Why can't we crack it?

Is AG just a meme? What can you even prove with it?

Who is obsessed here?

i was about to post Pi but saw this.

i'm new to /sci/, but perhaps since it's the biggest passion in my life it's a better /fit/ than /tv/

Have you seen Pi? If so what you guys think?

Here is the trailer if you guys wanna check it out

Hmm, looking in The Art of Programming vol 2 atm..

given a fractional number u the conversion is:

U-1 = |_u * B_|
U-2 = |_(u * B) * B_|
U-3 = |_((u * B) * B) * B_|
etc..

Although not sure how that works with complex numbers

Anyone else here code for the market?

Tho we can't trade secrets, we can still recognize game.

Thoughts on this film?
