So if you have a vector represent an individual human the dimensions could be their age, height, sex etc etc. Then you could have a cloud of points representing people and then compute the distance from one person to another across all their different metrics.

so you have 3 vectors 1 unit long all perpendicular, then 1.7ish as the result of the formula, but what is the 1.7? distance from what to what?

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ me?

if you line up all vectors one after the other, that would be the shortest length from the beginning to the end

@Someguy yes

like the triangle hypotenuse, the exact same as that but in 3 dimensions

@༺པརབྱར།བསངཇ༻ I painted this my nigga https://i.imgur.com/POmzlFc.jpg

Hope you like it.

who is that

J do you suppose you could draw me a quick MSpaint pic?

google has some good ones

ah, I see

@white pride world wide

@Someguy

i figure that's what he was trying to get across

that makes sense

You embody some classical Swedish virtues. Not even just nordic, but specifically Swedish

WPWW needs to clean up his presentation. I like to watch his thoughts because he's smart and gets stuff done so I don't talk trash, but a bit of clarity would be nice

I invented bezier surfaces and image warping independently of knowing what bezier surfaces was https://i.imgur.com/rDTbGDS.gifv

the fuck is that

neat dude. you're like a savant

@Exilarch I'm autistic.

Archimedes was autistic

you seem useful autistic though, not dumb autistic

usefl is in the eye of the logistics engineer

I've met plenty of spergs who can't do 1% what you are doing

I do things like you are doing with simpler math and with finance applications in mind

Anyways what's in the gif is me using vector algebra to map the coordinate of an image pixel of a 2d image onto a warped shape that I've mathematically figured out how to define.

I forgot anything past calc 2

Math was never a strong suit of mine.

You could use the equation in image processing to correct lens distortion in photos.

sounds pretty interesting, going into the realm of topology there

never bothered doing differentials, kindawish I had, mean to pick up a book on it but I can't make myself tism hard enough for it

yeah that looks tight, you can map between non euclidean and euclidean geometries that way

how flexible is it?

And if you add more dimensions you can have the bezier surface to represent 3d-CAD models if it's in 3d.

In higher dimensions than that you could probably apply it to machine learning.

i would've thought you'd have to do loads of differential calc. in finance

I do it at a hobby level, not by degree

ah right
