I wanted an animation of endlessly zooming into the real number line to explain to my students the difference between discrete and continuous, so I made this: www.desmos.com/calculator/e... Just in case you find it useful (or mesmerizing!) #Desmos #ITeachMath #EduSky
#ShowMeYourKnits The socks so nice, I knit them #twice. I subbed my preferred toe and heel into the second pair, and made them much taller. Assigned texture on self-striping yarn. I cast on another pair today… Thanks, @disturbingthefleece.com! #knitsky 🧶 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...
Who’s smarter, dogs or cats? Dogs are so smart that they use their innate ability to do calculus with their running and swimming speeds to fetch a ball thrown in water in the minimal possible time. Cats are so smart that they don’t.
Math is a people thing that *people* can, and should, do.

I confess it took a couple of hours to produce, whereas the AI was able to produce something in a few seconds. Mine has the advantage of being correct. But the process of producing it had real benefits. 1/?
Improving a sport skill by reading a book. Several but this was the first. Single page biography of baseball player Mel Ott - he lifted his left foot up a bit before he swung at a pitch. I tried it that afternoon in a sandlot game and hit a triple. Up until then I was grounding out.
