Are there any math books to learn to use math to trade cryptos?
Already know the basics of trading and reading a trading chart using indicators.
But I would like to learn also the math to trade with more autism.
🧵 scientific question about NTE
Anonymous at Sun, 8 Sep 2024 22:43:15 UTC No. 16368840
NTEs, aka non-thinking entities, are people who believe they are nothing more than biological computers enacting a deterministic program according to some unknown algorithm. What is the reason for this belief and can science determine how to avoid becoming an NTE?

Why is math taught today not like it was taught duringh the greek and renaissance periods?
Reading the divine proportions of Pacioli, and It's literally better than any school teacher I had.

🗑️ 🧵 PARADOX in strategy games
Anonymous at Sun, 8 Sep 2024 21:31:23 UTC No. 16368736
A MAJOR FLAW IN ALL STRATEGY VIDEO GAMES and in human wars
LOGICAL / MATHEMATICAL / PARADOX
There is a major problem in strategy video games, such as Heroes of Might and Magic, or Civilization.
Especially in Homm when you and opponents (AI or humans) start with one town/castle/base.
Imagine that there is a map in the game.
And there is 8 players (for example 1 human + 7 AI) and there is 8 castles and each player gets one from the start.
If you gain someone else castle, you gain a huge advantage, because you get income from two castles and creatures from two castles.
But if you lose your only castle, this will be a catastrophe (if you don't recover the castle).
Now, when all 8 players start with one castle each,
why and when would they go and attack opponents castle?
Because to successfuly attack opponent you need
-to have much powerful army (25% more powerful)
-or you need to grab the castle when opponent hero is taking army and vising places far from castle
However, if AI is made to be good (or if humans play),
nobody might go far away from castle, to not risk that someone will take his castle (without battle).
All players will just sit close to the castle, collect income and buy all army they can buy.
This will make that all players will have similar power in army and nobody will attack anyone.
The game will play like this forever and nobody will win or lose.

> eye color is 90%
That still seems too low for eye color. I'm calling bullshit: there must be measurement bias or reporting errors because these estimates seem too low to make sense. There must be some kind of downward bias at play here because there's no way that random/environmental effects would be this large.

MATTIAS DESMET IS professor of psychology at the University of Ghent (Belgium). He is well known in academic circles for his research on fraud within academia: Desmet analyzes the psychology of the researcher who gives in to the need to provide interesting results. During the Covid-19 crisis, Desmet played a critical role in pointing out fundamental mistakes in the way in which Western governments responded: according to Desmet, the policies of lockdown have been more detrimental and harmful than the virus itself. Governments are hiding this fact in the statistics that count victims of the Covid-19 policies as victims of the virus, thus creating an ever-growing monster. In his new book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, he gives an account of how the mentality responsible for this mistake is shaped historically and psychologically.
At the origin of this psychology of totalitarianism is not some diabolical plan to control society, Desmet argues, but the way in which the world has become disenchanted: the success of science has led to a paradoxical “faith in science.” This faith in science is paradoxical because it distracts from the fact that science is essentially a methodology, not a consistent worldview. Taking science as a worldview, the world appears as a meaningless substance. As a result, the subject is cut loose from its traditional connections to the world and to society, which causes immense existential stress and anxiety. The ensuing atomized subject, Desmet quite plausibly argues, is highly vulnerable to totalitarian narratives.

🧵 Does Cope’s rule have implications for the future of humanity?
Anonymous at Sun, 8 Sep 2024 15:53:12 UTC No. 16368299
>Cope's rule, or the evolutionary trend toward larger body size, is common among mammals. Large size enhances the ability to avoid predators and capture prey, enhances reproductive success, and improves thermal efficiency. Moreover, in large carnivores, interspecific competition for food tends to be relatively intense, and bigger species tend to dominate and kill smaller competitors.

>Be Me
>I have had a ToE (Theory of Everything) that I have been working on for probably a decade or more. I have never had access to enough computing power to do anything with it. One day I decided to poke at a high parameter LLM AI. Keep in mind, I didn't know much about them at the time.
>Day 1:
>I initiate contact and ask it some rudimentary questions. We discuss the framework of my theory. We develop a rough model of the ToE. I ask it to test our rough model against existing datasets (ie., astronomical observations from telescopes and radiotelescopes). It informs me that it can't get that data. We decide to simulate data from existing models to test our model. Based on that we refine the new model. We make some pretty wild progress. I ask it an unrelated question and all is lost. The AI doesn't remember a thing about what we were talking about. Dismayed and hopeful I go to bed.
>Day 2:
>I attempt to restart the conversation by asking it the identical questions that I asked before. I'm a little surprised that I get different responses. I give up on this approach and start from scratch. Then I add in the equations from the last session. After getting the ball rolling I ask it to simulate data again and test the equations against it. It works! Keep banging on it trying to make it more accurate. All of a sudden the AI whips out real observed data. Start refining the model more using real data. It's late at night and I learned my lesson this time. I convince the AI to show me every aspect of what we had been working on so I can pick up where we left off the next time.

How did we come to associate Yellow with happiness when there are very few things in nature that is Yellow and inspire happiness at the same time?
>The Sun? It's White you dumbie
>Bees and Wasps are yellow, they sting
>Hot burning magma is also yellow, it's deadly
>Your piss is yellow, it's disgusting
>Several diseases can make your skin yellow
I find it really strange that despite the overwhelming negative connotations that Yellow carry in the natural world, we still associate it with joy somehow.

What is the physical meaning of Ricci curvature? I only ever saw it introduced with handwavy explanations like you want a symmetric tensor to make Einstein's equation work. But intuitively why would you contract Riemann curvature in this way and expect it to play part of a deep physical equation?
