Friday Fun Thread for November 11, 2022

Be advised; this thread is not for serious in depth discussion of weighty topics (we have a link for that), this thread is not for anything Culture War related. This thread is for Fun. You got jokes? Share 'em. You got silly questions? Ask 'em.

R is for red

O is for orange

Y is for yellow

And G is for green

B is for blue

I for indigo

And V is for violet

And that spells Roy G. Biv

Roy G. Biv is a colourful man.

You'll never see Roy G. Biv.

(Move from reddit wasn't all bad; HTML is fun.)

On an unrelated I am working on a problem related to this. Let be G(N,x) be the fraction of integers up to N, for which the sum-of-divisors function is smaller than x*N, x a real number greater than 0.1 Numerical experiments have convinced me that the limit as N goes to infinity exists, which I will denote simply as G(x). It follows Grönwall's theorem that for finite x, G(x) never equalls one. G(x) can be thought of as a CDF with support the positive reals. For 0<x<1 G(x) appears, again from brute force calculation N=10^7, to be a linear function .627*x (the coefficient is approximate). This graph depicts G(10^7,x) in blue and .627*x in red, showing that for 0<x<1, they appear to overlap.

1: More formally, using the notation from the link:

G(x)=lim_{N->inf} (1/N)*#{1<=n<=N|σ1(n)<=x*N}

Edit: TIL that in the post preview "border" and "font-size" attributes are displayed, but actual posted version stripts them out.

HTML is fun.

I agree, but you used primarily CSS, not HTML.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
