So no one responded to this one, so just wanted to give the answer.
In big-o notation you drop all the terms except for the one of the highest order (the term with the highest exponent).. you do this because the notation is about how things scale to infinity, and as you scale towards infinite only the largest term is significant.
This is the same thing that happens with near and far fields in RF.. the equation that describes the field doesnt make any distinction, its just a long polynomial.. but at close distances (near field) all the terms are significant, so the lower exponent terms are valid, so the near field decays at the rate at which the highest exponent becomes dominant and the lower exponents become insignificant... so near field decays at 1/r^6 while the far-field decays at 1/r^2
LAWL... Id love to see the post that got you kicked cause im pretty sure it was complete nonsense too... lol these people are so absurd sometimes.
I guess Ill reintroduce myself: Hello, S.R. Weaver here.

Personally i dont know why politics has anything to do with what UI you use.
Yea they did... and while COVID is serious, it was also way over hyped for a while there... so I am kinda glad people stopped making such a big deal out of it.
It is "the few extreme instances" and that is a larger group than I'd like to admit sadly.
He is very brutally anti-trans... gleasanator's views are understandable one that incites ire.. i wont defend him for that... that said he does try to act polite in how he deals with people for whatever little bit thats worth.
Like so many things in the fediverse there is a large group of people who wills uspend you for running soapbox at all.. apparently only Nazis run soapbox or something like that...
A fork is a lot of wirk (QOTO is a fork).. but yea its desperately needed for someone to fork mastodon and fix eugenes mess ups IMO
@LWFlouisa Yea QOTO got royally screwed by him too... He has been a disapointment for a lot of people.
@freemo Same. Yea I became dissappointed in the direction eugene was talking Mastodon.
Its weird seeing so many new people,.but Im all for it.
I wasnt expecting myself to get swamped by AI. Not large language models though.
Small Language Models.
@LWFlouisa Havent seen you in years, figured you left the fediverse.. Its wonderful to see you again!
@freepeoplesfreepress @trinsec @khird
Open to anyone who wants an account on them sure.
Our generally considerate talk-it-out moderation style that is very fair handed is a big part of it for most people.
The fediverse has a tendency to pile-on with people. this will cause many moderators to ban users just for being unpopular even when they do nothing wrong. Many of our members feel pretty safe. As long as they act reasonably decently and dont go being a literal Nazi or a racist or something then you are probably ok here.
@lupyuen Dont tempt me man, I just flew out to thailand for some noodles :) ::eyes you:: :)
@sergeant A mother fucking genius, thats who!
