@olsonexi I was not ready to have such profound truth revealed to me today
But thank you

@unti1x @olsonexi should it not be log😟 = log😥 / log💧 ? Feel like I'm missing something

@zzz6519003 @unti1x log_b(a) = log_c(a)/log_c(b) for any a,b,c

@olsonexi So is Zero Width Joiner always log, or only for 2 args?

This could impact math papers for years to come, since it reduces the available set of single character identifiers.

@olsonexi finally, a math joke that i get :'3

@olsonexi this is annoyingly the most helpful and clearcut way I’ve seen someone explain logarithms.

@olsonexi equal parts terrible and funny. Just the way I like ‘em!

@olsonexi With the help of chatgpt (!) I was able to discover an additional related identity: log😁​(😅​) = 💧

@olsonexi if they’d have explained it like this, probably i could’ve understood it

@olsonexi

so true.

this made me laugh very hard the first time I saw it 🤣
