+i
-1/12
Giving someone 1+2+3+4+5+... votes seems excessive
Normal humans would understand that by amplitude, I probably meant a x/10 score. And then the algorithm would put that in context of every other score your account has given out to properly weight relative to your baseline. Then perform sentiment analysis on that specific post relative to all the other posts you've passed judgement on as context and isolate your relative score with respect to that specific sentiment.
Dude, it was just a maths joke and I wasn't even replying to you
-1/12 is the result of putting the sum of all the natural numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc) through the Riemann zeta function.
Get off your snarky high horse and treat people with kindness.
"Normal humans" good gracious.
OK sorry but it sounds like your saying "votes with values other than +1 and -1 ? Ridiculous ! What next ? downvotes of amplitude -1/12 ? Cats and dogs living together ?"
Which I assume the reason the designers of these platform only give us binary +1 and -1 expression and that's IF they don't take away the negative option entirely.
In my defence I plead reddit brain
Thinking scores are "added" is part of the problem. 5000 people voting 1/10 is not equal to 500 upvotes.
