Engineer: 2, but 3 to be safe.
The budget is for 1.5, make it work.
Oh, hi Boeing Manager.

It’s not 10?
Also, oh God, I got yours as I was typing.
confluence of base-2 jokes and javascript jokes…
could have been worse, I could have said `
Am I misunderstanding? ‘1’ + ‘1’, 49+49 = ‘b’
I can’t math.

Onety one
concat: “11”
cat: ignores your inquiry
No that’s “1” + “1”
True
Looks Good To Me!
1+1=3 in cases of large 1’s
ok, I define 1 as {∅} and 2 as {∅, {∅}}
proving the addition holds is slightly more complicated
Now define “+”
I love the comment that it’s “occasionally useful”
Hmm yes… set theory… I don’t understand anything happening here
There is actually a really good explanation for us math-curious non-mathematicians here:
https://blog.plover.com/math/PM.htmlThat’s some good read, thank you so much.
I really recommend the YouTube channel “Another Roof”. His first few videos were building up exactly this idea, as well as building up all the real numbers (possibly complex too if I’m remembering correctly). Sounds like a dry topic but he uses humour really well throughout. https://youtube.com/@anotherroof
Here is a playlist of the topic: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsdeQ7TnWVm_EQG1rmb34ZBYe5ohrkL3t
ooh, that looks interesting!
You forgot accountant
“What do you need it to be?”
We need to report negative earnings so we don’t have to pay taxes obviously
Computer Scientist: 10

I’m surprised the 6 year old knows factorials.
Not only that, it is mathematically correct, at least given the usual definitions of 1, 2, +, and !
1 + 1 = 2 * 0.999…
Error, float detected when int expected
You can’t put an expression on the left-hand-side of the assignment operator.
You need more expressive languages.
Computer Scientist: 0 and a carry bit
Mathematician: S(1)
Terrence Howard : 2 !! Also 1x1=2 !!
How would a two year old know factorials?
Math isn’t induction. Its deductive logic.
I appreciate the latex-style quotes around the mathematician’s 1
Appliance salesperson: oven + pan = hamburger
