minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up20arrow-down2·2年前Maybe it knows something about pi we don’t. It’s infinite yet ends in a 9. It’s a great mystery.
minus-squareblind3rdeye@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·2年前I saw someone post this a few days ago, and someone else quickly pointed out that it is incorrect. This time I’ll point out it is incorrect. In base-pi, pi would be represented as 10. The place value of the right-most digit would be pi^0, and the next digit is pi^1.

minus-squareBuddahriffic@lemmy.worldcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2年前That’s pretty much what radians are. Well, they combine base pi with whatever base you’re using for the coefficients.

minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-22年前Hyperreal numbers go brrr. I’m kind of curious what ways exactly using this in place of actual pi would change/break geometry. Obviously, it wouldn’t become noticeable until you try to involve infinite structures.
minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2年前I mean, it depends on what you’re doing. Supervision always required, though.

Pi is 10 in base-pi
EDIT: 10, not 1

Indeed. 10 is pi in base-pi
