Cool thread. Going to miss mootles

Good bye dear moot. Thank you for this forum, and sincere best wishes for your future endeavors.

This post right here? This was me almost three years ago.

Since I made this post I started doing undergraduate research, I've gone to three physics and astronomy conferences, published my first paper, I've helped my department rewrite their lab curriculum, passed the GRE, and started grad school.


Five years ago I was a wage slave working graveyard shifts at a gas station. Today I'm a GTA at a private university working on a PhD.

moot, 4chan, /sci/... you guys saved my life.


moot, I wish you only the very best with wherever life takes you next.

I founded 4chan eleven and a half years ago at the age of 15, and after more than a decade of service, I've decided it's time for me to move on.

Why does he want to move on?

>>7024371
because 4chan makes no money

>>7024224

>>7024371
Because he finally got sick of people bitching about the snap peas.

>>7024340

Very nice anon. Good luck with your PhD.

Don't have a cap but this was definitely one of /sci/'s greatest moments

https://archive.moe/sci/thread/5209640
>Wherein /sci/ discusses where it's possible to cook a steak by dropping it from low orbit.

>>7024224
They discover immortality and since you've been getting lots of money from your benefactor you can afford it. Then you start living for eternity and eventually your benefactor gives you all the money in the world, the economy crashes and all your money becomes worthless and you've actually lost the 8 cents you had before this process started.

>>7024259
No, this procedure is legitimate and I have personally been to a graduate level analysis course where it was carried out. It's related to the determinant of an operator.

So... fellow autists, where do we go once Moot leaves? This place will quickly turn to an even bigger shit than it is now so it's prudent to plan ahead.

I dropped by /sci/ one day and saw this:

>>7024255
>>7024271
>>7024423
>>7024426
it's a joke about how the sum of the natural numbers can by represented by -1/12 through zeta function regularization. i.e. 1+2+3+4+5....= -1/12.
the expression is valid but that equals sign has an asterisk on it.

>>7024471
No, an equal sign becomes meaningless when dealing with divergent series. There is no need for an asterisk.

>>7024419
and then later Randall Munroe actually looked up the numbers on it
https://what-if.xkcd.com/28/

>>7024480
In a fittingly autistic manner, the joking nature of the posting went over his head

>>7024477
*sigh* there's always this guy
>implying

>>7024477
>an equal sign becomes meaningless when dealing with divergent series
if you havent taken anything past pre-calc maybe...

the asterisk is required because the equals sign doesn't mean what it is usually understood to mean. of course 1+2+3... is divergent, but it can be represented by -1/12 through a special function. without any context, 1+2+3....= -1/12 is wrong...sorta.

>>7024340
I feel you anon. I just got accepted to my first grad school today, in CS. Was working minimum wage shit "jobs for the environment" 5 years ago, found /sci/, realized I should stop being a dirty hippie and signed up for community college, transferred to an awesome 4 year school and i just published a paper.

i love moot. i love 4chan.

>>7024462
Nah. Moot still owns the site and from the interviews it sounds like he's been spending the last 6-12 months getting shit in order so things transition smoothly and the site is left in good hands.

4chan's not going anywhere.

The real question is what can be done to improve things on /sci/?

>>7024487
When something is meaningless there can be no confusion of its meaning, there is none. You are then free to give it meaning as you please. How does an equality sign in the context of divergent series have more meaning to someone who has taken something past pre-calc than someone who hasn't? It would certainly be the other way around, the most you can discern about a series is whether it is convergent or not and so that's all the meaning it can have to you. I'm afraid you're not firing on all cylinders here.

>>7024340
Good on you there, man. Fuck you got me psyched up to get back into the swing of things.

>>7024504
>When something is meaningless there can be no confusion of its meaning, there is none
but it's not meaningless in any way. i dont even understand why you're saying it is. The only thing i could think of was maybe you were the type of guy that whined everyday in hs math class about "when are we gonna use this" so any use of numbers beyond a caveman-esque need for them is meaningless to you. In other words, in was an insult.
>I'm afraid you're not firing on all cylinders here.
i'm afraid you don't belong here. try reddit.

Good bye moot, I hope I won't miss you.

Though I probably will.

>>7024411
>fucking you over to the tune of 84 picohitlers

Does anyone remember Carl anymore? Goddammit Carl.

>>7024523
That's a brilliant analogy

>>7024523
This is now a ylyl thread

>>7024518
Yes, saying a divergent series is equal to something is meaningless. It is unbounded and not equal to anything. Your striking out hard on your "insults" I have never done or been interested in anything but pure mathematics for their own sake and I have not yet given you any reason to doubt that. You have an extreme cognitive deficiency and/or equally poor reading abilities. I would really double back on our "discussion" and make sure you didn't misunderstand something because I'm almost certain you did. The only alternative is that you're a troll, but I'm going to go with that you're just a retard.
PS. I just got why you think I was the "whining about uselessness guy" meaningless and useless is not the same thing you dimwit. I'm complaining about you being inefficient refusing to let me reassign a unused sign. I'm not saying that "it doesn't have real world applications" or something like you seem to think. I really have to reiterate here, you are incredibly stupid. Like, third world stupid.

I'm checking more and more obscure folders on my computer for these and a question arises; why are some of my /sci/ screencaps in my /d/ folders?

>>7024612
what is the significance here?

Although a lot of them are stupid, the fake quotes are the funniest thing to come out of /sci/

>>7024630
the third from the bottom.

>>7024340
/sci/ was good for like 2 monhts before it turned to shit. Then it became a cesspool for 'my major > your major', Technocracy shills, a nutjob who drowned hamsters (who we all loved, btu still) etc. and then it died.

Why did I ever leave?

>>7024224
Been frequenting /sci/ since its inception when it became my main board, I don't think moot leaving is the end of 4chan, but as bit of a farewell to moot the mods seem to be allowing meta threads on all boards.

So I'll dump a bit of my /sci/ folder with some 'serious' and funny memorabilia alike.

I made that picture so thanks for the sentiment.
But I have to agree that the one we ended up with is clearer, which was the reason it was changed.

Also made
>>7024685
and
>>7024528

Also uploaded some of the books that CCM and other then proofread and re-uploaded.

>>7024696
I think he and other old tripfags started to drift away after CCM, EK, patachu and Harriet were gone, though I could be remembering it wrong.

I'd post some posthuman furries in their memory, but not in this thread.

>>7024703

>>7024702
reupload

>>7024705
Josef, pat and CCM mostly ignored those two nutjobs, like the rest of /sci/, I can remember Josef posted for a while after they left when he moved to the US, then he just kind of fell off the grid, good riddance though.

>>7024525
God how I miss the tripfags. Yeah there were legitimate faggots like EK but there were also the Mad Scis, Carls, Col Coffees, etc.

I feel like as soon as we saw all the decent tripfags get driven away we saw /sci/ stagnate - less OC, fewer awesome threads, and worst of all the board became dominated by angry autists.

>>7024712

>>7024718
I'm sorry, but all the trips were cancerous, in comparison to anonymous posters their contributions were really shitty, but of course they are remembered for the occasional good post when they had their trip on. The "good" trips left around the same time many other posters left.

Around 2012-2013 there was a mass emigration, mostly to stackexchange and pf, caused by the deletion or banning of anything that didn't fancy the new janitor's pop sci interpretation. Most real STEM majors and professionals just came here to hang out and occasionally post about /sci/, not really to talk about their job. I think /sci/ is starting to become popular and/or less dead again though.

Mad scientist was truly great.

I think he was the last of the old tripfags that frequented /sci/.

Fortunately his hamsters are still doing great and he keeps coming up with new underwater habs for them even though some fucking retarded kids keep claiming that he's hurting his hamsters.

>>7024734

>>7024735
Josef and Physics guy were both still posting long after mad sci left. I can specifically remember physics guy posting during the CERN conference.

no dude, you're the math equivalent of the pop-sci loving faggots at reddit. you clearly have no idea what you're talking about and get angry when you don't understand it.
> It is unbounded and not equal to anything
except that if you use zeta function regularization it's equal to -1/12.
>meaningless and useless is not the same thing you dimwit
reading comprehension classes would do you a lot of good. It was in reference to your inability to past things you think you know.
>"whining about uselessness guy"
you're clearly too dumb to be involved in academia, but you should still know that you shouldn't quote people on things they never said. not only is it wrong but it can get you into legal trouble.

an equals sign is unused? forget pre-calc, i don't even think you made it past counting.

>>7025418
This, and a few other images, hit me hard with nostalgia. I really want to start a /sci/ journal of /sci/ence where people contribute articles and pages in a wiki format or something. Then I could typeset it and release one every few months.

>>7025418
tl;dr

>>7025429
We had a thread a couple weeks ago where people had suggested the idea of a weekly 'lecture series' thread on /sci/ where anons summarize and present material they covered in their classes that week.

Quality posts would be informative for others and encourage anons to review and understand their own material. This could easily be expanded to encourage anons to present on research project as well and eventually as time goes on and quality contributions are saved, related material could eventually be put into OC infographics like >>7025418 and archived.

>>7026839
>guy who wants to stalk CNS detected.

>>7024224
Is anybody watching the video.

>>7026850
Yes, also spam this link the >>>/qa/ sticky

I think you mean Rose Elizabeth Kelly-Lines, kek

>>7024567
Every time

>>7024889
Hate all you want, I find f ' notation waayyy nicer than that dx/dy bullshit. Like with second derivatives? [d^2]x / dy^2? That doesn't even make sense. Yes, I've seen the reasoning behind it and it's dumb. He was insanely brilliant so I suspect that it might actually be troll logic, just to see if he could get away with it.

>>7026850
Did he comment on /sci/ at all?

>>7024523
10/10 will be quoting.

>>7024734
hello darkness my old friend

>>7024224
That picture makes no sense to me

>>7026846
Spooky as fuck. I dont believe 1 word of it, but by christ its brilliant. THIS twisted inventivity is the legacy of moot. Groundbreaking !

(A. belt of UTV posts wtf! Loll'd hard)

>>7025446
Will do.

>>7024340
Well, you're on the only board where you won't be called a "fucking fag" for being smart. Good job! And good board choice

>>7024734
we see your name bro, you should remove that pic

>>7024774
l'Hopital rule is the cancer of math

>>7025418
Too bad it didn't mention anything about contrast agents, which is an essential drug to enhance the contrasts (whether T1 and T2).

>>7024734
so how is kentucky ? What's your gf's name ?

>>7027719
It's true. And no, one mentally disturbed individual on /sp/ is not "the legacy of moot", there's hundreds of millions of people that use 4chan there's bound to be a few nutjobs.

>>7027766
Why the hell would he remove it? Even a name was usable no one is going to dox a random poster on /sci/ that was posted years ago. Actually no one is going to dox a random /sci/ poster period.

>>7027784
I stand corrected, try to spend your time more productively, there's no stigma associated with browsing /sci/ anymore even if it is on 4chan so there's literally nothing you can do with that information.

>>7027851
>try to spend time more productively
I don't really care about your advice. It literally took me a total of 5 seconds to open facebook and search for his name.
Better safe than sorry.

>>7027885
Yes. That's 5 seconds you wasted. 4chan is pop culture now whether we like it or not. It's the equivalent of opening someone's fb page who opened commented on a public new article; there's just no reason to, but whatever, you can do whatever you damn well want.

But if you do it don't post about it because doxxing is still against the rules and will get you frowned upon or b&ed.

>>7024312
you can really tell how sick of shit he is in this thread
i really dont blame him for leaving. he created one of the greatest communities to ever grace the earth yet everyone treats him like shit. it makes no sense. i dont get where the hating moot meme came from but i think its pretty lame.

>>7028929
Stormfront, as led by their colony on 4chan, /pol/.

>>7028929
>>7029642
moot plz go

>>7029642
This. /pol/ is the cancer killing 4chan.

>>7029665
It's like chanology 2.0.

>>7028929
What the hell are you talking about? Did you even listen to the (ok fine 8 hour) stream? That's not why he is leaving at all, he knows 95% of the community loves him and except for GG newfags most of it is just banter.

>>7029665
No it's not.

>>7029677
Hating moot is a meme

>>7028929
He left because he said he wanted to move on with his life.

4chan board is associated with late-teens and early 20's meanwhile he's going onto his late twenties. This is the equivalent of being a high-school student in charge of in jungle gym for 5th graders. It does not look respectable for his age to be on 4chan for so long as the owner. He even said he didn't except 4chan to be on for so long. He expected the board to last for seven years and he kept on staying for it's own sake,

>>7029689
Anyways, when I was on 4chan, I was like barely turn 18. Moot was the age 24/25.

>>7029642
That's a horrible message board. I sometimes browse on the open guest section. They always resort to ad hominem and verbal attacks.

>>7029689
>>7029693
Yeah, he's not leaving 4chan, he's leaving as 4chan's admin, he said he'll back within a few weeks/months but to post as anon.
>Remember you are here forever

This anon explained it really well <a href="/qa/thread/53260#p60574" class="quotelink">>>>/qa/60574,</a> 4chan's admin is basically a job that no one who enjoys 4chan would want.

>>7029701
Would you take the mantle as the 4chan owner?

>>7029705
Fuck no, I have a respectable day job. 4chan is my respite, not my job. Maybe one day if I retire and sell my company with enough money to ensure I don't have to worry about legal fees I'd consider it, but I wouldn't really make any posts or bans as admin or anything.

>>7024224
Look at how much books he reads! He's smart.

>>7024846
>A conservationist and head of the EPA
I didn't know that flyover staters came to /sci/

>>7029665
/pol/ is the cancer that must metastasize.

How does it make you feel that moot might go back to school for sociology or anthropology

>>7029713
Carson's 'Silent Spring' basically led to the abandonment of the use of DDT in third world countries for killing mosquitos.

>>7029709
>bookshelf full of commie books
>smart

pick one, nuthugger.

>>7030627

Higher cancer rates and ecological collapse are not worth it even for third world countries. But I guess that's not edgy enough for you.

>>7030637
That's debateable. I was just pointing out that simply calling her a 'conservationist' was disingenuous.

>>7030626
Well, instead of mocking His Mootliness for being queer, we can then mock him for going into the soft sciences. It would make sense though; fourchin is one big weird sociological experiment in a way.

>>7030627
>national aggression leading to a war in which ~60 million people died, including 9-12 million who were the victims of state-sponsored genocide
>slight setback to mosquito abatement efforts in the developing world due to having to find other insecticides

but the second one's worse, right?

>>7029705
HEEEEEEEELLLL NO!

You'd have to be a fucking ubermasochist to take on that responsibility.

That moot managed to apparently find not one, but three people who were not only crazy enough to do it but whom he could also trust with running things after he left is nothing short of a fucking Christmas miracle

>>7029665
/pol/ is a gigantic pain in the ass but they have their moments.

We've even had some half-decent crossover threads discussing the influence of science and technology trends on the future of politics, how interstellar civilizations might develop, and the science news threads Space Elevator used to post were wildly popular.

>>7031341
i don't think /pol/ is worth it. white power schizos just suck, they are sooo boring and they kill threads effortlessly.

>>7031341
In my experience, when /pol/ comes to /sci/, ALL THEY EVER TALK ABOUT is eugenics and racial differences in physiology/intelligence. Stormfront and its offshoots aren't interested in science unless they can find something to back up their boring racist opinions.

>>7024471
You guys do realize that we, as in humanity, made up the rules for summing series, and that all this means is that there's a slight flaw in them. The sum of positive numbers will never equal a negative one. That's a defined characteristic.

>>7031428
>ALL THEY EVER TALK ABOUT is eugenics and racial differences in physiology/intelligence.
Well, they exist, there is evidence for them and it's extremely amusing how trigger-able you are anon. You're underestimating how amusing it is watching /sci/ claim evolution "stops."

>>7031511
So what? You're on the wrong side of the bell curve regardless. Do you post here out of a secret desire that someway sufficiently credible will confirm your secret hope/fear that in the grim future of scientifically enlightened materialistic atheism you too will be euthanized and therefore you can safely fuck the niggers you so crave without contaminating salvageable seed?

>>7031428
Nah, that's not the only thing... we're talking 85... 90% tops

>>7031527
>out of a secret desire that someway sufficiently credible
I see I've triggered you so hard you can't properly verbalize. Do you have PTSD?

>>7031452
>Implying

bump

>>7024739
there was an extended version of this! does anyone have it?

>>7031341
Those are crystal ball threads. They're only used for shitposting and they're a bannable offense on /sci/.

>>7024377

[citation needed]

I've reported many threads like that and they never get deleted

>>7024340
That's some inspirational shit.
You did good.

>>7025404
here you go

>>7026516
That's a relief, I was worried you had access to one of those proton beam things and 3d etched it into your head

>>7033541
Yes it's archived and I have a screencap somewhere, I'll post it when I have some time to look for it. It was a really funny thread.

>>7033733
>someone has a nobel laureate as their prof
cool story bro, I thought this was common

>>7034069
It is, pretty cool of him to pass it around class though.

>>7033733
Still not worthy of screencapping the thread.

>>7033757
ah yes, the Zaphod Beeblebrox approach

>>7034274

I would buy and read this book publicly.

was /sci/ really like that? all I remember was /sci/ - Religion

>>7024371
If he moved on would he die?
