Why, a hexvex of course!
I mean, with winter coming in, and universities not bothering to heat the building, teams turning my potato work laptop into a furnace is the only thing keeping us warm this winter…
Serious question - is their long term strategy bad optimisation to sell hardware? Do they have shares in intel or something?!?
We also need irrational fucks for the complex field don’t we?
Surprised Pikachu is much surprised.
Counteroffer - spend that $30 on a drink and turn them down. Just keep on using windows 10 and clog up their support tickets _
Almost:
Lengths are usually reals, and in this case the diagram suggests we can assume that A is the origin wlog (and the sides are badly drawn vectors without a direction)
Next we convert the vectors into lengths using the abs function (root of conjugate multiplication). This gives us lengths of 1 for both.
Finally, we can just use a Euclidean metric to get our other length √2.
Squaring isn’t multiplication by complex conjugate, that’s just mapping a vector to a scalar (the complex | x | function).
Spherical geometry - good times…
Yep, it’s a triangle. You can also make one with three right angles on a sphere!
You know, one wonders if all academic works should be released under “academic license”…
Might be nice to sting these big companies for our free labour.
