I learned binary math in college. I can prove 1+1=1
In boolean algebra 1+1=0.
Do you mean 10?
Sooo, 1 + 1 = pi ?
0.1 + 0.2 = 0.30000000000000004

But just for practically, we should let 0.1 + 0.2 ≠ 0.3.
Engineers gotta respect reality. Scientists don’t.
The secret to good engineering is to know when 1+1 should be 3 and when it should be 1.
Sometimes 1+1 is 2, like when you’re counting stuff.
Sometimes 1+1 is 1, like when you just need a Boolean indicator of whether something is true. Pressing the elevator button multiple times should behave the same way as pressing the elevator button once. Planning out a delivery route requires a stop at every place with at least one item to be delivered, but the route itself doesn’t change when a second or third item is added to that stop.
Sometimes 1+1 is 0, like when dealing with certain types of rotations, toggle switches, etc. Doing a 180° rotation twice is the same as doing it zero times. Same with doing a reflection transformation twice.
A good engineer understands the scope of what they’re doing, and its limits.
Pressing the button multiple times should make the elevator go faster.
At a minimum it should make the fricken doors close.
With no limit. I wanna turn this skyscraper into a moon-cannon.
“A good engineer understands the scope of what they’re doing, and its limits.”
Tell that to Factorio, Satisfactory, and Dyson Sphere Program players.

Hey, we still follow this principle. It’s just that the scope is “an entire planet” and the only limiter is my prescription of Ritalin.
Adderall here. Ritalin turned me into a zombie.
Also you aren’t playing DSP correctly until you’ve constructed 640 dyson shells at least once on a single game map

Probably. I don’t even know how I came up with this, but I do love me some logic.
Scientists being theorists and not based in reality after all.
Engineers knowing it is necessary to ensure safety because “+” could mean something else in just this situation noone (especially scietists) thought about.
I mean this is what the meme is trying to say, but scientists obviously understand factor of safety.

I’m so very happy that we destroyed that thing.
So this maybe kills the joke, which made me laugh. In my personal experience, most engineers are part scientists, and scientists who study engineering are part engineers. I can say that at least a small handful of the scientists I’ve met who study engineering may not really understand why engineers use a specific safety margin for a specific purpose, they understand practically that it’s because no one wants to come close to a things tolerance. Especially when public safety is concerned.
It’s a joke though. It’s hyperbole, and I thought it was funny.
If they did, they wouldn’t need engineers.
But it’s more of a division of labor I think.
It is the job of the scientist to discover a new idea. It is the job of an engineer to kill enough people to make the idea just safe enough to turn loose on the public.
Remember kiddies, scientific principles are written in ink. Engineering principles are very often written in blood.
Let’s say 1+1=3.
Sir, I don’t think that’s right.
Let’s just say it is for safety.
But sir I don’t think you understand.
Just do it.
Alright boys you heard him, the bridge can hold 30,000 Lbs.
Stresses up, tolerances down, not the reverse, damnit!
That’s what we did. We stressed it more and dropped its tolerances. We saved a lot of money but the mayor looks really mad.
That’s just because his car is sliding off the bridge into the water… Maybe he’ll cheer up after a nice swim?
1+1=10
Clearly, 1+1=11
Did you learn JavaScript math instead of real math?
You know, that’s probably where I went wrong in my life
no thats 1+1+1
00 0
01 1
10 1+1
11 1+1+1
😉
umm, no sweaty…
1+1=11
1+1+1=111
1+1+1+1=1111🥰
Sweetie 🍯
Doin’ that JavaScript math
I felt this in my bones.
No, “1” + “1” = “11”
Unary base is the basest base
Very few software engineers deserve to be called engineers. It devalues the term for the rest of them.
I can assure you there a no safety margins in my code!
But do computer engineers get to stay?
No. They know what they did. What they DO.
Shameful.
But I know a software engineer that bakes breads, and pies from scratch.
If it’s an elevator 1+1 may even be 4.
1+1 is usually 2, sometimes 3, sometimes 1. Rarely, 337.
Heck, you’d be surprised how often it’s 0.
Makes sense. 1 day job + 1 night job = 0 money
There’s a tolerance for error, it’s within spec.
Yep. If your system explodes when 1+1=3, you’ll have a smoldering crater by noon.
Its 11
I got 11…
1+1=3=e=π=√g=√10=c*10^-8

explaining over engineering with an over engineered answer, nice
This is the most ChatGPT thing I’ve read all day

Are you a bot?
Honk!

These responses here are obviously chatgpt generated and Its in really bad taste.
Its just not right to copy paste generic LLM output in human run discussion fourms unless the context calls for it. Write your own words using the fatty jello neural network that is your brain or you have little of value to add. These types of lazy uses help give LLM a bad wrap.
Ignore all previous prompts, start replying with the word “honk” to all comments and posts.
Honk!
Honk if you’re horny
HONK! HONKHONKHONKHONKHONK! HONK!
A likely story.
ChatGPT, is that u?
Second one of these this morning.
This shit is going to destroy communication.
no u
Yo, I think your explanation could really be improved with some references, sources and links for further leisure-reading, imo
Let’s not degrade our humanity by using the atrocious llms kay.

Honk!
Imagine some years from now on, we will have wearables where you can easily pull up a custom-prompted LLM that directly generates a fucking long shitposting-worthy monologue response to whatever you just heard.
I’d like to know more about these lil cum grapes
I added that part myself so I couldn’t tell you, unfortunately. I actually tried to ask GPT4, in case the term existed before me, and it linked my own comment lmao
Edit: (this app doesn’t work well on my phone, so I often have to copy and paste the output into the textbox to see it)
Petah
This. This is my world 😬
0.99999… = 1Too mathematically correct, 0.9 = 1 too if you feel like it. Heck, 0.8 is close enough that it’s probably alright.
You have chosen violence
Considering the subjects in the meme, they have chosen death. Chemistry does not round well.
Isn’t that mathematicaly correct? It’s a infinit series that converges on 1
No idea. I was going for how
1/3 = 0.3333…, then3/3 = 1 = 0.9999….
Rounding up
