I’m a grad student. I used to love math. I thought it was so beautiful and I’d just spend my free time looking through math articles on Wikipedia or listening to YouTube channels with great explanations and just be at awe at the beauty I was seeing. I look at the same concepts and now I feel numb. I’m not even angry the joy is just gone. Academia took something I found creative and beautiful and turned it into a source of stress and mental anguish. That’s evil incarnate

Like orcas for example, orcas are viscious psychopathic hunters but never attack humans in the wild. Orcas have high intelligence yes, but I know there's other examples too, like Polar Bears are the only species that actively hunt humans, and lions are naturally scared of humans. How does something like that happen? I get the logic that all the brazen animals who approaches humans gets killed, therefore only the animals who are wary of humans survive, but do they really "teach" their offspring that, or is it something inherent biologicially? Just a question I was thinking about. How does evolution work in the way that it makes certain species wary of other species?
>>16872254That would make Orcas even smarter than we thought
>>16872432>animals are smart>even dogs and cats have the intellect of a 3 year old human childThat is literally retarded, though, if someone said you had the intellect of a 3 year old, they wouldn't be complimenting how smart your are, they would be saying you are retarded in a nicer way.
>>16873179Learn your history. The "classical" view of animals is as objects that move. Attributing the ability to think and feel to them is a massive step that many still haven't taken. However, animals ARE stupid. You aren't wrong there.
>>16873202>The "classical" view of animals is as objects that move.Same with children, they still don't have full human rights because of that "classical" assumption.
>>16872244humans are brutally retaliatory, just look at what happened to wolves, the only ones still thriving are the ones we turned into our slaves.Animals that mess with humans are usually too stupid to know better, breed too fast to care, or have starvation madness.

Why are math textbooks so expensive? Do other STEM fields face the same thing? Whats your favorite textbook that isn't ungodly expensive? Can't believe a reference book is worth 34$ more to a Bible.
>>16871578Books in general have become more expensive in the last few years. Despite the quality going down since textbooks are now all print-on-demand on shit paper and binding.Get a printer.
>>16872427The authors are dead too most of the time. Where does the money even go.
>>16871578>Why are math textbooks so expensive? Pirate them>Do other STEM fields face the same thing? Yes, physics and software also suffer from same publisher jew tricks.>Whats your favorite textbook that isn't ungodly expensive? All are expensive, just pirate them from annas or libgen.
>>16872817Fucking software textbooks are priced high?
>>16871578Smaller audiences, higher per unit costs.Read a math book and learn to math, maybe.

I'm looking to learn graph theory and am wondering which book would be a better choice, "Combinatorics and Graph Theory" by John Harris or "Graph Theory" by Reinhard Diestel? Thanks in advance, autists.
>>16870019I checked this series and found it hilarious that it has like 5 linear algebra books with programming applications and exercises. But none for graph theory relevant to this thread.
aww shieet topological optimization cuh
>>16871218>every matrix is certainly not a directed, weighted graph>and every graph can not be represented in matrix formDear me.
>>16871218I skimmed the "Linear Algebra, Data Science, and Machine Learning" from the series. It looks promising. Covers everything, a lot of exercises, has programming exercises, has solution manual for 1/3 of the problems on website, 1 chapter for graph theory stuff.The main issue is the typesetting imo, feels like they try to cram as many things as possible on a page, making it hard to read. Doesn't look like older springer books. But it could be just the pirated version. Also a lot of the figures like the plots needs colors. So you can't just print the book B&W.
>>16869110Annas, etc. unfortunately doesn't have a good copy for the 6th edition. But there is one for the 5th edition.
I have this ambition to learn everything I can, and I would like to ask for advice and may get other people to join me.I'm making a roadmap of science. Simply put, a series of subjects and projects (since that is how I learn best) and I would like some contribution from others , since I don't know what I don't know.So tell me! Things about your field, experiments and projects, easy or hard ! How to get there and where to go from there !Maybe I one day when this is complete I can figure out a way to distribute it to school with appropriate resources (science education is lacking imo)
Did we overreact to Chernobyl?
Chernobyl is actually not that dangerous of you have proper gear
>>16871930the problem is that isotopes ACCUMULATE through the food chain. yes you can visit chernobyl just fine, but you wouldn't want to live there, drink the water, eat from a garden and hunt in the forest. incidentally, because of that the wildlife is doing amazing. theres large populations of wolf, moose, european bison, beaver, wild horses... turns out human activity is more harmful than a reactor blowing up. some with the bikini atoll. theres no fishing going on there because its all irradiated and no theres large healthy coral reefs and incredibly healthy fish populations
I have published papers on the subject. >>16871930There are multiple UN and IAEA reports that has a global consensus of radiologists and nuclear power experts state that the Soviets literally did overreact to the disaster, shutting down and resettling a lot more settlements then it was necessary, which ended up doing more damage through social factors than the radiation health hazards themselves did. But then again, if they hadn't overreacted, those very same isotopes could end up doing quite a bit more damage to people, and as >>16872087 pointed out, wider exclusion did benefit the environment and natural wildlife tremendously. >>16872087> but you wouldn't want to live there, drink the water, eat from a garden and hunt in the forest. True in the immediate exclusion zone around the plant in the years immediately following the disaster, but even one decade later the overwhelming majority of excluded territories are just straight up indistinguishable from the baseline in terms of radioactive isotope accumulation. There are still pockets where you definitely don't want to drink and eat the local biomass over an extended period of time, but they are extremely minuscule in scale, especially by now.
the fossil fuel industry, one of the wealthiest and most active propaganda producers on the plant, have a vested interest in demonizing alternative energy sources. A lot of effort has been put into making nuclear power look as scary as possible. Three Mile Island is known as the worst nuclear disaster in US history, yet NOBODY died, it was a nothing, but gets hyped up as a warning against the technology. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of US citizens died as a result of fossil fuels this year alone. Chernobyl is another victim of this dedicated propaganda campaign. It was bad, but is way overhyped as some apocalyptic catastrophe.

Depends on the type of the operator. Compact, normal and subnormal operators have been proven.
>>16872648Should have said complex Hilbert space. My bad
>>16872612yes
technically you should not be able to solve this, it is an open question even more the most gifted, 4chan isn't the place for solution to open questions that asidefinite-dimensional complext hilbert space dim>1, yesnonseparable hilbert space, yesmany operator classes on hilbert space yesif hilbert space is real, no in 2+ dims
why do particles behave differently when not observed?
>>16868549I think it's because observing devices like eyes or cameras absorb the wave aspect of the photon
If we live in a simulation then it could be a way to spare system resources with both unrendered geometry and foveated rendering.If you look directly at your screen in front of you everything is blurred around it. And you have no way of knowing if everything behind you is unrendered, just like in a video game.https://youtu.be/NPK8eQ4o8Pk
>>16871745This is actually a pretty good pointThat makes me wonder whether panpsychism has more merit than I thought NTA
>>16868549Wave particle duality is an example of the converse error fallacy: waves -> wave-like pattern => wave-like pattern -> waves. Physicists are that stupid.

The definition of infinity is that it is how many natural numbers there are. If there are an infinite number of natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and… then that must mean that there are not only infinite infinities, but an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities, and… (infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and…) continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and…..(…)…
>>16872841>The definition of infinity is that it is how many natural numbers there are.No, that is the definition of aleph-0, infinite means endless.Those things you described aren't different infinities, they are just projections of the fact that numbers are endless in every direction possible.
I feel like current neural network based AI is like half of the solution of the general AI problem.We have the fuzzy (and unreliable, hallucinating) part of the problem solved, but we're missing the strict and verifiable logic part.And no, I'm not arguing for symbolic AI - I know it was mostly a failure, not really going anywhere.What I feel would fit that part is... formal verification.I strongly believe that if we had by now - and by now I mean for at least few decades - a practical, intuitive and commonly used - by commonly used I mean it would not only be used strictly for programming or math, but often also to describe scientific and engineering models - a good formally-verified programming language and all the data available due that use - just like we do with code - due to open source, then we would already have general AI by now.Maybe not super-intelligence still, but a tool that could reliably perform general and verifiably correct work.Current AI is as is, because it lacks the tools to verify its own answers - human may make mistakes but he/she will be verified by reality, AI is shielded from it, it has no senses, so it has to have some other means to judge its output.And honestly we seriously lack in the department of tools that can automatically verify correctness of solutions to all but the most basic of problems - not even due to the lack of theory fundamentals, but due to the lack of effort and investment in the area.
>>16872258not possible, academics still read journals, they might be surprised but really good ideas won't escape their notice

>>16872368kind of but not really
Smash
>>16872354What if the idea is useless by itself and the utility only emerges at scale?Or requires another component that is classified in order to be really useful?Do you really think there is a full proper vetting of EVERYTHING?Most researchers don't want to waste time on bullshit. And there is a publish or perish treadmill to limit low probability pursuits of needles in haystacks.And anyone that does strike gold gets muzzled so you wouldn't hear about it.Go find the paper that tells how to make nukes. If you can't find it then nukes must not be real.

>>16869773Its a coping mechanism for the incompleteness theorems having mathematically proven hard bound universes that encompass everything are mathematically impossible.
>>16869830>this timeline is being merged with earths timeline How I would describe entropy: We all live in the same present, the only observable moment; it's impossible to see into the past or future. This suggests it must be a very energetic state. Imagine there are particles travelling into the future. And the same quantity returns to us at the same instant. They have the tendency to annihilate each other, releasing energy in the process. Only where there are differences, is the energy not nullified, but rather a new state manifested.
