WugmeisterIt works. Well, it works about as well as your average LLM
EmpricornIn other words, it doesn’t work.
Flying SquidMaybe it knows something about pi we don’t.
It’s infinite yet ends in a 9. It’s a great mystery.
The answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42… +9.
Hyperreal numbers go brrr.
I’m kind of curious what ways exactly using this in place of actual pi would change/break geometry. Obviously, it wouldn’t become noticeable until you try to involve infinite structures.
uisPi is 10 in base-pi
EDIT: 10, not 1
Mathematicians are weird enough that at least one of them has done calculations in base-pi.
That’s pretty much what radians are. Well, they combine base pi with whatever base you’re using for the coefficients.
I saw someone post this a few days ago, and someone else quickly pointed out that it is incorrect. This time I’ll point out it is incorrect.
In base-pi, pi would be represented as 10. The place value of the right-most digit would be pi^0, and the next digit is pi^1.
Indeed. 10 is pi in base-pi
