@yourautisticlife Depends on how the function is defined. My guess is that the formula is 2-(x-sign(x-3)-3)². If it uses the three-valued sign function (this looks like Desmos and that's what it uses), the actual value there is 2, but the limit "ought to be" 1. I question whether that's valid when sign(x) is explicitly piecewise. If it used a two-valued sign function (usually sign(0) = +1 in that case), there'd be no ambiguity.
@Xenograg That wouldn't fill a double chest. Rookie numbers! (seriously though, that's a lot of villager trading right there)

The number of iterations of x → x-√x to get to 0 is approximately 2√x - ln(x)/4 - 1. For sufficiently large x, this approximation differs from known true values by approximately 0.069555. The meaning of this constant is a mystery (to me).

@nausicaea I should have considered that you're building a modpack - or is that something even larger like a standalone Minecraft instance?? - rather than just one mod. And I guess whatever packed it was already using max compression. A pity.

@nausicaea JARs are ZIP files in disguise. You could try increasing the compression level on them, assuming the Java tools allow for that. Alternatively the same could be done with a standard ZIP tool (unpack, then repack) provided you give the result the right extension afterwards (and then double-check Minecraft/Java accepts the new file).

550MiB is huge either way. Most mods run to less than a hundredth of that. Is there something massive that doesn't need to be there?

@[email protected] Have you seen this thread on the Minetest/Luanti forums? https://forum.luanti.org/viewtopic.php?t=13709 It's old, but it's ever so slightly newer than the map you want to convert, which might mean it could help?

A pretty variant of the Mandelbrot fractal that looks like a bee! The name "Mandelbee" doesn't seem to be taken so that's what I'm calling it. #math #maths #fractal #mandelbrot #mandelbee
@bug That's a shame. What I read of the docs seemed to suggest that its dislike of Unicode occurred after the preprocessing step, not during it.
