I am currently debating on upgrading my power as my maxed out non-reinforced extreme reactors reactor isn't really cutting it anymore. Dyson Cube Project seems like it would be fairly straight forward to implement, just need to set up some geores and rf tools crafters it seems. This is the furthest I have ever gotten in any pack i've played and therefore I haven't really dealt with huge power needs past a few thousand kFE/t. It seems like my base is ramping up quite a lot in power draw now as I am going into mekanism and soon industrial forgoing so I need to decide whether I go with Dyson Cube Project or try something else a bit more interesting.

Just to add I really like the "OP" forms of power generation where it feels like you're cheating the system but it's fine by the pack devs, like how you can generate nether stars with the tome of alkahestry. I may prioritize one of those methods because it seems more fun than just grinding a huge reactor.

For those wondering those two albums are American Football's LP 1 and The Hotelier's Home, Like No Place Is There. I guess if this counts I'm super into toe and its what really got me into the broader math rock genre. I love their twinkly acoustic riffs and thats my favourite type of music to play/listen to. To that vein its also the reason I also like the metal band opeth, though its less relevant here.

Help me stop being a poser and send some album recs my way please.

Edit: Sinve a lot of people are posting spotify playlists I will say I try to buy music as much as possible and dont use spotify Im fine with yt playlists but spotify wont really work on my end.

I am currently playing atm10 to the sky right now, and I am going through apotheosis because it should work with the all the modium tools (which I don't have because I'm procrastinating automating all the modium, but oh well). I always skipped it as vanilla plus mods kinda bored me, and apotheosis just felt like just some weird DLC to enchanting (and I never really enjoyed enchanting much, and all the bookshelves put me off from it in other packs).

Going through all the world tiers and getting affixes on my gear makes it feel so much more fun. It is just like regular enchanting, but there's more progression to it, and to boot, you still have that enchanting system (which I do plan on getting into later, hopefully it improves on vanilla enchanting). Man, I didn't expect to have so much fun with such a simple mod.

I am posting this with the calculus flair because I presume that's probably related to the answer, but I just genuinely dont know why I would ever want to define it as G(n) = (n-1)!

Just to make things worse, the functional term has an n-1 on the t coefficient (assuming integration over t) which infuriates me even more. Why not keep it simple and make the integrand t^n • e^(-t)???

I am starting up spring courses and I decided I want to start using typst again to take notes for my classes. I used to take notes by essentially converting a static site generator into a pdf library for me, but ideally I would like a better solution than that, where all my notes are way easier to navigate and linked together (like obsidian but for typst moreso).

I need some inspiration from how others do it, specifically with things like making diagrams in notes and making typing them more efficient. I went from obsidian to pure markdown to latex to typst and to written notes and none of it worked the way I needed it to work. Obsidian by far was the closest to what I wanted, specifically with the fact I could easily view my notes on my phone, but ideally I find something that lets me write things in typst and view them simply and easily.

I have been talking to people who studied in other universities and our faculty of science courses are really weirdly structured compared to other universities. I am taking a Physics and CS double major right now and I have noticed our Calculus stream is really weird. We do Sequences and Series in Calc 3 whereas everyone else does in in Calc 2, and most universities do Vector calculus in Calc 3 as well (our Calc 4 which I cannot even remember anyone taking).

Another thing is the fact that our Linear Algebra courses are really weirdly structured. I was speaking with a friend who attends U of T and they do things way differently there, going over things like Singular Value Decomposition (which I don't even remember hearing in 125 nor 225). Even one look at the MIT Opencourseware course on Linear Algebra feels so foreign to me coming from what we did here.

Just to add a cherry on top, even our Engineering Faculty does things how everyone else does it. I'm glad it means our courses are a little less tough, but I am also behind my peers in a lot of aspects which worries me a little bit.
