Ramanujan's work with primes literally gives me nightmares. A huge part of our cyber security is based on the difficulty in factoring numbers, but Ramanujan's work implies there is probably a shortcut.

The world of cybersecurity is built on sand.

ok, you write the full number everytime.

It is not possible to write the exact number in number form, which is the whole point. It is an irrational number. After the decimal point, it continues infinitely, without repeating. While a number like (1/3) continues infinitely after the decimal point in base ten, it is only one digit in base three. Pi is impossible to represent accurately as a number.

That makes calculating it accurately so important. That way you can calculate it to the accuracy you need.

There is an easy way to write the full number every time, just write pi or π.

I already mentioned all this


"that repetition is just a facet of the usage of base ten.

there's nothing infintite or mystical about pie."

rounding it and using that value in conversation is more detailed and something intelligent people would do. its just a number around 3.15.

you stay idiotic.

That is incorrect. It goes on forever in every whole number base. The lack of repeating in the pattern proves that.

That is often not an exact enough number.

that just a numerical oddity, a problem of expression.

it still just a finite quantity. somewhere between 3.14 and 3.15.

in conversation its fine, you fucking idiot.

you're not smart at all.

In conversation, the best way to refer to it is as pi, not a longer approximation that loses its meaning.

its around 3 dude. thats more meaningful.

you're such a pompous asswipe.

tell us more about how normal levels of maginalization normalizes marginal behavior. <-- from a different thread but equally dumb.


lol.

its a fixed quantity.

its the number of times a diameter of a circle would go around its circumpherence.

we could go into the quad with a piece of rope and go to on of the columns and confirm this.

its a fixed quantity you fucking idiot.

you're so dumber than shit.
