🧵 Reversing Myopia
Anonymous at Mon, 15 Jul 2024 12:47:04 UTC No. 16282329
Since it was this board where i first learned about how to unfuck your eye sight, i decided to share my scientific findings. Pic related very related and in next post i will post my preliminary findings paper. I do not doubt many anons here have higher education tiers (or stare into monitors 24/7), so probably majority of you have myopia as well. So just you know, it is reversible.
here is the original video, in case you dont like reading

Here are raw unedited notes
>2024-05-05
i am wearing the blue -0.75 for the time being, using them for all computer work, i have a very big tendency to close my head to monitor to counter the blurry text, it takes some restraint to keep normally in chair. the very first test showed i need a better eye patch.
>2024-05-25
so i have been doing the meme eye improvement thing for a month and i can already show some data showing a very minor improvement. obviously measuring eyes is EXTREMLY subjective, the brain has build in 999 ways how to counter shitty eye sight, so it is hard to properly measure it in home conditions, but the way how i do it with zero to minus 1.75 eliminates possible measure errors by simply having a lot of tests. if i was very optimistic (and assumed linear progression) and said that by 1 month i reduced my eye shittiness by ~0.2 dioptrie, i can extrapolate the data and claim i will be glasses free in 10 months.
>2024-06-25
This is the first time i have been able to read from line 7! Sure i mistook the first letter F for P, but nontheless it is undeniable improvement. Before the line was unredable blur of symbols, now i got 6 out of 7 letters right from my left eye. And it really looks like the improvement in vision are lienar, suggesting by the end of this year i will have 20/20 vision. Eye maxxing to the moon!
>2024-07-15
I feel like the blue (-0.75) no longer provide enough eye strain for my daily computer life. I am switching to light purple ones (-0.50)

>This board is spouting pop sci garbage about the big bang from like the 1970’s
Things like:
>It was the first moment in time!
Time is just a ratio between happenings (it takes this much light travel to boil an egg)
>It was a singularity!
No reason to believe this
>There’s nothing before it!
Copout so physicists of the time didn’t have to model for pre big bang states
>It doesn’t make sense to ask what came before it!
It makes perfect intuitive sense to ask what the state before it looked like.
Read this then never spout these retarded points that kill cosmology discussion on here again. https://space.mit.edu/home/tegmark/

🧵 is this a valid proof?
Anonymous at Mon, 15 Jul 2024 10:03:56 UTC No. 16282201
let [math]x \in \mathbb R_+, \displaystyle D_n(x) = \sum^n_{k=1} \mathtt d_k(x) 10^{-k} \in \mathbb Q[/math] where [math]d_k(x)[/math] is the [math]k[/math]-th decimal of [math]x[/math]
for all [math]\epsilon > 0[/math], let [math]p= \lfloor -\log10(\epsilon) \rfloor[/math] (so that [math]10^{-p} \ge \epsilon[/math])
then for all [math]\displaystyle n \ge p, \underbrace{(x-\lfloor x \rfloor)}_{0.d_1(x)d_2(x)\cdots} - \underbrace{D_n(x)}_{0.d_1(x)\cdots
therefore [math]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to +\infty} D_n(x) = x - \lfloor x \rfloor \in \mathbb R[/math]
let [math]0 \le x < y[/math] in [math]\mathbb R[/math], let [math]\displaystyle q_n = \frac{\lfloor x \rfloor + D_n(x) + \lfloor y \rfloor + D_n(y)}{2} \in \mathbb Q[/math],
using the previous property of [math]D_n[/math], we can show that
[math]\frac{x+y}{2} - q_n \le 10^{-n+1}[/math], therefore, [math]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to +\infty} q_n = \frac{x+y}{2}[/math]
therefore [math]\bar{\mathbb Q} = \mathbb R[/math]
Is my proof valid? what do you think?

🧵 Transpose FFT
Anonymous at Mon, 15 Jul 2024 09:15:31 UTC No. 16282176
I have recently explored the possibility of doing a FFT entirely with addition, subtraction, and transpose.
Turns out this is indeed possible, however, you're approximating the phase, so you need to project to a lattice and then at the end perform a phase adjustment from a much larger range of phase to a smaller range(project from thousands to billions of radians to just -pi, pi).
Your lattice can be entirely hypothetical, you dont need extra memory.
However, you need to explore and work out the math for each transpose sequence along with the final positioning in the imaginary sparse lattice, so you can get the individual phase adjustments needed. This work only needs to be done once for any FFT size, and then the phase adjustments and transposes can be used as a lookup table. We're talking doing an FFT in only 15% of the work!
Phase Lattice Mapping: Phase angles are mapped onto a lattice using a function φ(k) = 2πk * (L/N), where L is a chosen lattice size larger than N (FFT size). This spreads phase values over a range of 2πL/N.
Pre-Processing: Input signals are multiplied by exp(i * φ(n)), embedding phase information into the lattice positions.
FFT Operation: Instead of computing complex rotations, FFT operations involve simple integer shifts on the lattice. Each butterfly operation becomes an integer arithmetic operation.
Post-Processing: Results are reconstructed by sampling the lattice to retrieve magnitude and phase information, then converting back to standard phase ranges using modulo operations.
What do you think?
for a small FFT this doesnt need a lot of memory but for a 4 million point FFT. you need 700mb of ram
also, since our operations are cumulative, some will cancel out meaning the algorithm can be optimized further.

🧵 Scientific evidence women with tattoos should be banned
Anonymous at Mon, 15 Jul 2024 08:32:47 UTC No. 16282137
Tattooed women are more likely to be LGBT, promiscuous, egalitarian, drug users, exhibit psychopathology, get divorced. Stereotypes 100% correct once again.

I'm trying to produce an algorithm that, given the width and height of a regular polygon with rounded corners, spits out the corner radius, along with what the width and height would be if the corner radius was zero. Right now the case for odd-gons does not work.
