Why do statisticians carry out their results and report them to decimal place precision when they have 3% margins of error?
Isn't that being intentionally misleading on their part?
They also don't even report what their standards for error measurement is when they report 3%, everyone probably presumes them mean one SD, but they don't say that anywhere and they could be going by any other criteria such as FWHM, 50%, etc. so that makes their quoted margin of error completely meaningless or at least intentionally confusing.
Nobody who does this kind of thing should be allow to call themselves a statistician.

Invention idea. Rip this apart and tell me why I'm wrong.
Ok, here's the idea - it's a desalination plant like the windtrap from Dune.
You make a mega structure like the windtrap from Dune 2000 (pictured). You then coat the outside of the shell with solar panels and the inside with thermoelectric strips that make it colder on the inside. So after a while there should be a cloud within this several story building.
Then what you do is you put a Tesla coil on the inside so that when it goes off the lightning makes it rain. It turns out that lightning inside clouds can make it rain! Which might work even on smaller clouds with less moisture content.
You'd probably have to make it quite large to have the necessary efficiency gains. And I don't know if this would work all the time as you might just end up sucking all the moisture out of the air around the windtrap unless there was significant amounts of wind.
Thoughts?
🧵 Animals die in winter

What happens with the animals when it's freezing cold -25C during winter?
What happens with flies, deer, mice, birds, fish, ants, wolves, spiders, etc.
Even if they live in warmer places like Texas and Florida, there are rare days when even such places have very cold weather that a human will die in few hours if he isn't inside house.

It's funny how people act like studying computer science makes them intellectually superior even though all they are doing is learning half-assed material from other fields. Such as physics (quantum computing and computer graphics), philosophy (logic), linguistics (natural language processing and programming language theory), psychology (artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction), biology (bioinformatics), and mathematics (everything in CS)

Wired Mind
It is within our born capacity to interact with our environment using a device in our mind-space, and communicate to each other over mind-to-mind networks; given one can produce said device using coordinated thinking.
All sense input has a very frontal layer, and this layer is a wave that is always caging us(pe sm. it can be thought of as a wave moving against us.) We can treat this frontal layer as a simple interact able matter, because it has caged us(pe sm. it is imminent and has connected to us). This wave is invisible and infinitely flexible, but has content-in-its-effect acting as a mirror force and template; because of it, we can construct mind-space buildings using ‘biokenisis’. This frontal layer is called ‘tool-layer’; this name was chosen because using it allows us to make opposed mental wirings, and interact with dimensions through those wires.
Assume the tool-layer has caged you, then you have the capacity to make a mental action due to imminent reactive force, and receive feedback.
Make a mental action, such as selecting and trial activating a space to the front-left.

🧵 Academic PEDs
Anonymous at Sat, 26 Oct 2024 12:49:12 UTC No. 16450424
Are there any academic PEDs that one should know of so that we can use them in our study of science and math?
I really know of only 3 that legitimately work, from experience.
1. Amphetamines: Stimulants for hyperfocus on a single topic and long long hours of studying or staying up.
2.Propranolol for Exams, interviews etc. Reduce exam anxiety and stress, helps avoid tunnel vision etc. On average raised SAT exam score by 130 (eq. to almost 10 IQ pts.) in a study. Really calms you during such situations that require clearheadedness and not panic.
3.Modafinil for wakefulness, staying up and pulling all-nighters etc.
Are there any others that one should know of? Please no bullshit like Ashwagandha, no placebo herbal shit, something that is actually objectively useful.

what is the perfect placement of bed, computer, furniture, in a room?
How to calculate the perfect placement of everything?
I have a room, window, radiator, door, bed, computer, speakers, one piece of furniture.
What is the perfect placement of every item and my body?
How should my body be aligned during sleep? Should my feet be in south, north, east, west direction? Do Earth magnetic field affect brain and heart?
When I use computer, should screen be in the direction of window or away? If it's in direction of window, the sun will attack my monitor and I will not see anything.
I shouldn't block radiator with bed and furniture. What else?
What if the jews will shoot machine gun from the window into the room when I sleep?

In August 2021, Swiss researchers at the University of Applied Sciences Graubünden set a world record by calculating pi to 62.8 trillion digits. They achieved this using a high-performance supercomputer in just 108 days—surpassing the previous record of 50 trillion digits from 2020. This effort, managed at the university’s Competence Center for Data Analysis, Visualization, and Simulation (DAViS), pushed computational boundaries by using vast storage and memory resources: they needed over 300 terabytes for processing and backup.
>Notable natural events occured around August 2021, right when Pi was calculated to over 62 trillion digits. A striking coincidence is the eruption of the Fukutoku-Okanoba volcano near Japan on August 13, 2021. This eruption generated a massive ash plume that reached up to 16 km into the atmosphere, creating a visible floating pumice raft and even producing a new island. This eruption also caused atmospheric disturbances detected as far away as 1,000 km, impacting the ionosphere and potentially atmospheric resonance frequencies. Around this period, other volcanic activities, such as those at Aira’s Sakurajima volcano, were noted, along with unusual tectonic and atmospheric oscillations due to volcanic gases.
Why do scientist keep pushing this when it's clearly unraveling the multiverse?

I just proved that one of the axioms of mathematics is false, which means all mathematics is wrong and needs to be discarded and start from 0 again. However, when I tried to publish my paper, every magazine I contacted rejected me. They said I'm a lunatic and a fraud, and refuse to publish me, even though the mathematical reasoning is sound. What should I do, /sci/? All around the world mathematicians are wasting time trying to prove stuff based on axioms that aren't true, they need to know as soon as possible

>They set up multiple live streams with multiple cameras
>The cameras must last long enough and be high quality
>They film astronauts before entering the ship, like when they put their suits on
>The cameras sometimes film each other to prove they're real
>These cameras are meant to film the entire trip, from both before they enter the ship and up until they get near the American flag in the moon
>If one camera stops working, that's what the other cameras are for
>There's additional cameras that will not be in the trip: They're meant to record the astronauts (And their cameras) and some stay on Earth to record the ship leaving
TLDR: They plan a trip with multiple cameras where astronauts travel to the moon landing where it all started just to prove it's real.
It's just a matter of budget and having the best assets available.

Does civilization still actually retain the capacity to replicate itself? Like, do "ground zero knowledge" humans still exist? If a war or some strong solar flare destroyed all our repositories of knowledge, would we be able to rebuild from memory? If you dumped 5000 PhDs on an island, how long would it take them to produce a microchip?
