He's just taking a moment to pray, "Thank you Lord for delivering me this gift." y'know, thanking God for the work of man, just normal religious things.

What is the source image? I need to know for...science

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

It's by Milo Manara, Italian artist who does a lot of erotic illustrations. I think maybe some comics too. I love his style and the sexy stuff is just a bonus. Really like how he does hair.

I was thinking something with why not use AI, but I am sure LLM does not understand math as good as Wolfram alpha.

fun fact, paid chatgpt (yes i have sinned, i pay for it) has a wolfram plugin so a badly worded question gets worded better by chatgpt and then forwarded to wolfram

Torches and pitchforks! Get it cheap here! Torches and pitchforks!

It does fine for many proofs, but it will occasionally just make shit up when it needs to do arithmetic. I’ve only used the free version though.

Wolfram is a lot cheaper. One time payment of like 5 bucks and it's been on my phone for years.

Do you have to pay for symbolab? The last time I used was 10 years ago when tutoring a few students. I also paid for Wolfram alpha sometime last year.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Symbolab was free up to about four or five years ago, but good things never last.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Depending what are you doing, symbolab mis better.

i dont get this joke at all, but the meme format is gold

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

WolframAlpha is a very fancy calculator you can essentially plug almost anything into and get a step-by-step guide to solving the equation. I believe it can do much more than that, but that's what most people use it for.
