IS THAT LOSS?!!
I’m at a loss.
I honestly needed this comment to get it
Rotation isn’t even rotation which implies rotating around a point on that rectangle. That’s rotation and translation. Such a loss.
Scaling does not include translation either yet it does here by your logic.

For the first time, I caught loss before loss was pointed out to me 😅
Same lol. I hate this stupid meme, but I felt better about recognizing it in the wild.
The scaled down rectangle should be narrower; it’s not scaled in this diagram, it’s squished.
(Yes I know you can ‘scale’ objects on one axis but that’s usually not how it’s taught on an introductory level. Standard scaling assumes object similarity, which is not present in the diagram’s ‘scaled’ rectangle.)
Ackchuawually, this example depicts a squish and a translation. A true scaling would have the scaling being done in place, resulting in an overlayed and smaller rectangle.
Scaling in 2D has 2 parameters, X and Y, in the example X was at 1 while Y was below 1. You are referring to a subset of scaling transformation where X = Y and the aspect ratio is kept.
And what about the arrow?
It’s pointing down diagonally, which - at least to me (and for pretty much any GUI I can think of) - indicates, that it should be affecting both axes.
Then again, that whole illustration isn’t all that great to begin with. So who knows, what that arrow is supposed to signify…
Yes, and introductory geometry courses teach students how to do uniform scaling far before they teach them axis-based because it’s better illustrative of the concepts of similarity and congruence
This is some quality pedantry.
No, I wod say scaling is any diagonal matrix and thus even includes mirroring.
Damnit, I wanted to say that

I’m a simple man, I see a Loss meme and I down vote. Shit hasn’t been funny for over a decade, just more hurr durr dumb shit.

Your loss.
Your loss.
Your loss.
In spring, a man plants a tree.
In summer, he plants another.
In the fall, they stood together.
In winter, one fell.:.|:;
