thought you implied the local maxima were AT the saddle points

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I explained what a saddle point is and how a saddle point can be misidentified as a local or absolute maxima or minima if all you do is look for a point where the slope is 0.

... anyway, is this a glitch on my end or ... how do most of your comments have 0 upvotes... and also 0 downvotes?

... I thought lemmy automatically gives every post 1 upvote by default.

you can remove your upvote, unlike reddit, where your vote doesn't count, just no votes display as a score of 1

... And you do this, manually, to all or almost all of your posts?

Or is your user account from an instance where that is done automatically?
