but I’m the user, I want the definitions to cater to me and describe my world. I want my definitions-based logic to make sense. And if torque is defined as joules but shows up as J/rad in the UI, then who supplies the /rad except an additional definition for a contradiction or exception? My conclusion from that is that the definition is missing something shaped like a base dimension for angle.

I understand that the taylor series used to define sin and cos is a function with a unitless input but practically, a lot of people like to use degrees for the input of sin and cos instead. I hate that it’s ambiguous, because calculator software devs use it as an excuse to misrepresent physical quantities like angular velocity, frequency, torque, etc.
Also, it’s very valuable to be flexible with the count of base units defined in the system. A lot of software is written with three (length, mass, time), some with 7 (as in SI), and I want to be able to shove in angle as a base unit in anywhere.
yep, I don’t think the question “what’s the cos of a unit” is valid because cos expects a plane angle in the input and a unit doesn’t meet that expectation; it’s underdefined; it depends whether the calculator is set to radians or degrees.
I strongly disagree with the definition itself. And yes, there are stops that prevent me from doing that in scientific computing resources like sympy, matlab, and my professors.

here’s an article which supports my reasoning https://arxiv.org/pdf/2108.05704
I seriously disagree with you, your you’re wrong.
heck no ☠️
wait really does hypoxia or rising CO2 levels make the sphincter open to attempt to breathe anally??
I agree. I believe science but I seriously think the BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures) is wrong. They made SI bad by glossing over the necessary base unit of angle, there should be 8 base dimension, not 7.
yayaya, or in other cases like multiple independent variables, I’m not sure because it’s been 6 years since I took calculus
very nicely said, I agree
how about derivative with respect to time instead of with respect to x?
I totally agree, the lack of pixels also contributes
it takes way more than 10 years to ship a mirror from Earth to some place 10 ly away from earth.
okay, that recipe is less than half bread, can substitute both the grain and the fruit of a meal
yuck, banana bread and cupcake are both so full of added wheat and sugar that the product no longer counts as whole fruit.
