so given a box of X, Y, and Z dimensions, what would actually be the minimum of
[math]\sqrt{a^2+y^2}+\sqrt{(x-a)^2+z^2}[/math]

>there might be nefarious LLM prompting schemes/frameworks out there that you are too mentally limited to imagine
Turns out that the "idea space" of language is infinitely expansive, specially considering the context size that those things can handle.
They could be very well making possible for someone to execute some not so ethical process in a hyper accelerated way that the average person or even high IQ people can't even fathom. I don't even want to imagine when the AIs start doing shit like this proactively by themselves away from anyone's eyes.

Let me get this straight. The p value tells you the probability that an experiment was done correctly. So why do we want small p values?

Lets discus nuclear electricity generation.

I wondered recently if the economics of US nuclear energy are distorted by purchasing surplus enriched uranium from Russia for decades? USG closed or privatized much of the domestic nuclear fuel enrichment.

How are the Three Laws of Robotics compatible with robot femdom/BDSM?
For example if the three laws were established and I had a gynoid and I want her to be my dominatrix. I hope this is the right board to ask this.

Mathematical logic is the study of formal logic within the context of mathematics, focusing on the mathematical properties of formal logic systems, such as their expressive and deductive power.
With that being said do you think its possible to overcome any paradox by the simple addition of an extra dimension given that any statement can be stated in a 2 dimensional hierarchical space and as a consequence any complex polynomial with a contradiction is just misunderstood space the logic has tangled itself a higher dimensional space

🧵 Calculus and Analog Signal Analysis

Anonymous No. 16636208

I studied biomedical engineering in undergrad over 10 years ago and studied a bit of calculus like multivariate and differential equations.
Also studied a bit of analog signal analysis which involved circuit analysis of transient signals, Fourier and Laplace transforms.
However I want to study these again more indepth to refresh and expand my knowledge, as well as have any of the calculus and other math background necessery to understand this at a deeper level, and further topics.
What textbook do you recommend /sci/?

🧵 An objection to many worlds from anthropics

Anonymous No. 16636135

Before I begin this article, let me say: I am not an expert on the many worlds interpretation of quantum physics. You shouldn't really trust what I have to say on this subject. The extent of my expertise is having gotten an A in high school physics and read some Eliezer Yudkowsky articles about many worlds. I could tell you almost nothing about the physics behind many worlds. Fortunately, my argument doesn't hinge on highly precise facts about physics.

The basic idea of many worlds is that each time a quantum mechanical event happens, the universe splits so that there's a world where it turns out each of the ways it could have. So, for instance, if a particle can either go left or right, the world splits and there's one world where it goes left and another where it goes right. This may sound ridiculous and gerrymandered, but it allegedly falls straightforwardly out of existing physical equations rather than requiring an epicycle.

I mean we literally can't see outside our observable universe because light can't even reach their at all. Like you're telling me there's a shit ton galaxies, stars and matter in the universe but at a certain point we can't see shit? What the fuck, there's something very odd about this reality that I truly can't point my finger out. Why wouldn't there just be more galaxies, stars and planets?

Yesterday’s prank made me realize there’s no other place like /sci/ to discuss science and math, I can only think of Reddit (God, saying this out loud is disgusting, that place is utter trash). What do we do if they decide to close the board for real in the future? /sci/ is one of the slow boards so I wouldn’t put it past them to just kill it ignoring the fact that it’s the best board together with /lit/.

I've watched countless videos discussing quantum entanglement by "experts" and walked away with two different versions of it.

1. Measuring a single entangled particle will directly effect the spin of the other regardless of distance
2. They're just synchronized so it just "appears" that they're interacting when measured

So which one is true?

/x/enophile here. I'm considering getting a smart telescope called a Dwarf 3. But I think an optical telescope would be better because the actual light from the celestial objects goes through the lenses and into your eye, rather than being passed through electrical circuits as with the smart telescope.

Do you have any thoughts about this?
