Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

Time to hit the mysterious S↔D button.

I hate that my new fancy Casio doesn't have that button, but it's hidden in a menu. At least it has a decimal equals button, but even that's behind shift.

I got this exact line of calculator for my technical class I started recently. The first thing I looked up when testing it was how to switch from fractions to decimal.

[–] usrtrv@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

I just add a decimal to the equation, works on my TI

[–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

how do you switch back to fractions I couldnt figure out, spent one hour reading the manual to no avail

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 3 days ago

You don't you just buy a new calculator

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

If you knew, then why did you ask?

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is without AI. AI would tell you: 659/121

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Jokes aside one of the most important things an LLM needs to be able to do is farm out equations to actual calculator programs and yet

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

How so? There are better software for that already and LLMs work with statistics and probability. Really not what calculators are about

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 days ago

the real answer is 6 and 29/120. hope this helps.

S<=>D time

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Set to return fractions and those terms can't be mutually reduced (only factors of 749 are 7 and 107, no match in 120). User error, if anything.

[–] Pk_thunder@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

I might be missing something, but the other answers look to be reducing the fractions and this no longer has any common divisors?
