gentooer, in we're still trying to figure out if they go to the same floor or not.

On a serious note, what do these buttons actually mean? We usually have numbers in our lifts.

Knusper,

Maybe someone has a more specific explanation, but I could imagine it just being shorthands for certain departments.

Like, imagine a hospital where the third floor is dedicated to, uh, new patients, so you press the NP button.

gentooer,

Ah yeah, that makes sense

Not in the picture are 6 buttons for 5 underground parking floors and the main floor. I have no idea what those buttons do, later when I left the office im going to check out. If this is my last message, let everyone know that I went missing on the name of science.

RandomVideos,

This is their last message(since posting this reply) so they are most likely dead

Graphy,

Shouldn’t have pressed the D button if they didn’t want death

ConstantPain,

It’s certainly a brazilian (or portuguese, maybe) elevator. These buttons are to be used by an elevator operator to manually control the lift.

They mean: “Parar” (stop), “Não Parar” (don’t stop), “Subir” (go up) and “Descer” (go down). The buttons above operate the doors.

Caralho mano, o pegou direitinho. É um elevador em São Paulo e deve ser pra o que você falou por que não fez nada quando eu pressione eles.

ConstantPain,

Tem que usar uma chave e colocar ele no modo de operação manual para esses botões funcionarem.

What a bummer. They did nothing.

i like big graphs and i can not lie

all about that x and y

though when the venn diagram seems to deny

an z axis I sigh

What about 3D Venn diagrams, but the sets are spheres?

logicbomb,

How about 4D Venn diagrams?

SaltyIceteaMaker,
@SaltyIceteaMaker@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

One might even go as far as 5D

logicbomb,

When I read your comment, my monocle popped right off!

abir_vandergriff,

Projected on a 2D screen, it’d look more like a normal venn diagram.

jadero,

That’s what 3D printing is for…

cynar,

Volumetric Herbert space diagram.

Why limit it to 3 dimensions?

hansl,

Why limit it to an integer number of dimensions?

cynar,

Because I’m not sure how to make it work in non integer dimensions.

I think for maximum uselessness, they should not be overlapping spheres, but deform at the interface, like soap bubbles or rubber balls. As long as the spheres are the same size and modelled with the same “surface tension” or “elasticity”, the “intersection” of two sets would then be a circular interface with an area proportional to what would otherwise be an overlap (I think). If the spheres have different sizes or are modelled with different surface tension or elasticity, one would “intrude” into the other.

Multiple sets would have increasingly complex shapes that may or not also create volumes external to the deformed spheres but still surrounded by the various interfaces.

Time to break out the mathematics of bubbles and foam. This data ain’t gonna obscure itself!

Might there actually be utility to something like this? Scrunch the spheres together but make invisible everything that is not an interface and label the faces accordingly. I suppose the same could be said of the shape described by overlapping. (Jesus, you’d think I was high or something. Just riffing.)

I am, maybe that’s why I made it all the way down here ;).

Might there actually be utility to something like this? Scrunch the spheres together but make invisible everything that is not an interface and label the faces accordingly.

What if the labels of the faces on the 3D (pressure points or interfaces) were like things that kept the ‘soap bubbles’ from merging? Like for example: science watchers of MSM being kept from understanding climate change

Is that what you were thinking?

jadero,

No, that’s not what I was thinking, but that sounds like a decent idea. Maybe a better idea than just simple labels representing the facing sphere.

Venn diagrams, but the sets represent whatever the diagram is about (like houses for housing markets).

might_steal_your_cat,

So something like this? I love that idea!

Blackmist, in GIS nerds be like

Prefer to go the other way around.

PhD stipends have never allowed for house buying in my time period at least. All the same people compete for it.

somethingp,

Yeah but there used to be hope for affording a house after you finished and got into a tenure track position. But now there are barely any tenure track positions and even those don’t always pay enough for a house

Fun fact, China literally advertise its red theme as “blood of passed heros”. So communism do get its red from blood.

Google translated source (from an official .gov.cn site): www-mod-gov-cn.translate.goog/…/4851751.html?_x_t…

Quote in Chinese:

为什么说共和国是红色的?对于这个问题,每个人都可能问了数百遍,老师和家长们也早已给出了答案:那是因为共和国是用英烈的鲜血换来的,共和国的血脉里有英烈们的红色基因、红色传统。

Google tranlate:

Why is the Republic said to be red? Everyone may have asked this question hundreds of times, and teachers and parents have already given the answer: That is because the Republic was bought with the blood of heroes, and the blood of the Republic contains the red genes and red blood of the heroes. Tradition.

“If you need student loans while in a PhD program, you’re doing something wrong.” ~My grad advisor.

We all needed to take out additional loans, OR some people group-homed it… in a shack their parents pitched in for.

Haha, I will never own a house.

FinalRemix,

I’m a professor, soon to have tenure (fingers crossed), and can’t afford to keep my family home if it’s given to me outright. Meanwhile, our admin refuse to acknowledge a COLA assessment. Wheeee

Nah, they just labeled the type of transistors they’re using. PNP, instead of NPN.

Well now I need a tool that makes graphs like this. I think I smell a winter break project coming up

MNByChoice,

Please do. I really like this chart and expect a lot more coming soon.

And no, I don’t expect to get any actual data from the chart at all.

For some reason I always read hemoglobin as hemo-goblin. I watched Lord of the Rings too much.

NakariLexfortaine,

There’s also Hemo-Goblin, the vampire who was created by a white supremacist group for ethnic cleansing in South Africa from The New Guardians.

There’s a reason the best remembered part of that series is Snowflame. He just did copius amounts of cocaine. Hemo-Goblin gave two characters AIDs.

I_am_10_squirrels,

I would watch a spinoff about Homo-goblin

I never really understood these graphs, even with the best of my ability. I just think it's an excuse for people to make vaginal references.

jadero,

This is my first exposure to a plain text Venn diagram. Genius.

@ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world avatar

Ah. So, P≠NP, but NP=F. This elevator is inside an atom.

CJOtheReal, in Mentally Deranged Behaviour

The fact that its accurate makes it even worse…

jaybone, in we're still trying to figure out if they go to the same floor or not.

What is the fan looking button? Is that if someone farts in the elevator?

BingoBangoBongo,

Umbrella Corp. OP better run fast.

ConstantPain,

To activate or deactivate the elevator fan, which blows air from the shaft to the inside of the cabin.
