this is HILARIOUS

🥐 - I'm sure we could all use a laugh! Thanks for sharing 💕

Thanks for the ask 😁

🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh 

Are we talking like references to the internet that always make me laugh or actual references I have found that are just unintentionally funny? Why am I overthinking this? Both...you get both...

An old but goody meme

If you know you know.

Funniest actual reference that I've come across that was unintentionally funny:

opinions on the cox-zucker machine

the what

favourtie mathematical object?

cox-zucker machine

hairy ball theorem

derogatory matrix

cox ring

wiener process

tits alternative

no-ghost theorem

i think hairy ball theorem.

Some time ago I was introduced to the Cox-Zucker Machine so I’m going to make it your guys problem. Apparently these two dudes with the last names Cox and Zucker realized it would be really funny to create something together and name it after themselves so they spent FIVE FUCKING YEARS coauthoring a LEGITIMATE RESEARCH PAPER with the express purpose of naming something the Cocksucker Machine.

Having friends over for a podcast only means that you are going to have the most memed and chaotic podcast ever.

And no, vocoded Neko-Arc reading the Cox-Zucker machine Wikipedia page doesn't exist.

I HAD TO LOOK IT UP IM DYING

Apparently Weiner Measure and Cox-Zucker machine are both very real terms

Are mathematicians Okay

There is a semi-famous math algorithm developed by David A. Cox and Steven Zucker. It is known as the Cox-Zucker machine.

For a long time I'd been assuming that they knew what they were doing, but today, via Peter Woit, I got confirmation. Cox writes in a memorial for Zucker:

I met Steve in the fall of 1970 when we were entering graduate students at Princeton. We both studied algebraic geometry, though I was more algebraic (à la Grothendieck) while Steve was more transcendental (à la Griffiths). This made for some lively conversations. A few weeks after we met, we realized that we had to write a joint paper because the combination of our last names, in the usual alphabetical order, is remarkably obscene.

Do you think Cox and Zucker ever explored each other's bodies?

I was looking up some math theorems and algorithms and stumbled upon an algorithm developed by David A. Cox and Steven Zucker. And oh boy, guess what they named it!! Cox-Zucker Machine. 

Part of me thinks that they did it on purpose and part of me thinks they had no fucking idea

I saw that post too, anon :^)

Life goal: learn enough mathematics to be able to enjoy the Cox-Zucker Machine at full power.*The most efficient computer to teach and master computer science is one powered by Intel's integrated graphics processor.But the graphics processor on a home computer costs $2,500 to $2,700 to build, and there's a good chance you'll be spending more than $100 on an old desktop. This was the case for me a few months ago, and it turns out that not only can we live longer but we will live longer.It all started when, in a few years, I was looking for a new computer to teach computer science. In the fall of 1996, I was working on a project at Stanford University, in Palo Alto, California. There were no real computer graphics cards, simply computers in the background. I wanted a computer to make it fun, but I didn't want to spend $150 to install a graphics card with little performance gains. When I thought about a computer, I found the $500 price tag to be a good fit.My second choice was the $30K Core i5. It was a good option, but a bad one for some programs I would need to learn. In the end, it was more than $30.How do you spend money?If I can borrow money to keep my kids going from high school through college, that'd be an excellent choice. When I get in college, I don't have to worry about money. I get to spend my time and spare more to learn, so that's a great investment. And as soon as I learn some math, I'm more confident in doing it.My fourth choice was the $100,000 Core i7. This was a perfect choice, as expected, and was built using the best in-house processor. It was designed so well you could do it in a pinch.So, how do you do it? Well, I can tell you the basics.The First Thing to Know About a Cool ComputerThe next step to making an efficient computer is using an inexpensive board without the expensive hardware.First off, you're going to need a good, solid piece of hardware. That hardware can be any hardware, that's not just a chip, or a computer board.So what is an Intel processor?Intel is specifically designed to work on any computer from a bare metal box. So if it can't work on a computer motherboard or a hard drive, you'll probably want something
