minus-squaretheroastedtoaster@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 months agoFibonacci/Golden ratio = 1.618 Kilometres in 1 mile = 1.609 Conversion is off by less than 1%, not bad at all
minus-squareAwkwardLookMonkeyPuppet@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoGreat, now I have two charts to memorize.
minus-squareLux@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoYou only have to memorize how the fibbonaci sequence works, which is just addind the previous 2 numbers together to get the next
minus-squaregandalf_der_12te@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months ago You only have to memorize … and have a lot of computing power available. That algorithm ain’t running itself.
minus-squareEvil_Shrubbery@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-29 months agoYeah, it’s nice and mysterious the first moment you hear about this but all the romance is gone once you think about how it works.
minus-squareKogasa@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 months agoBy far the most complicated part is the fact that the ratio of successive terms in the Fibonacci sequence approaches a specific number (which happens to be the golden ratio, which happens to be close to the ratio of km/mi).
