A thread for most things statistical, be it finance, engineering, business data or economics. Or whatever weird random or pseudo-random process you have that needs explaining.Many complain about this general, to say it's shit but the amount of discussion and thoughts in it have been very good. Of particular note are the engineer who works in sonar. He is a goat.

Does anyone know how to apply the theory of stochastic resonance to find hidden patterns in macroeconomic or market data? Asking for an autistic friend. Pic related.
>>16320326I had a probably stupid idea recently. So essentially, with a standard deck of cards we have 52! unique orders. Theoretically this means it is unlikely anyone has ever had the same shuffle as anyone else. But this is only in a perfect mathematical world. In reality we would likely see different distribution. Would it be possible to have some person or group of people shuffle deck of cards and then compare the result to the theoretical one? Has such a thing ever been done?

>Around 70% of this comes from just 20 countries, where the volume of waste has overwhelmed their ability to manage it effectively. India, Nigeria and Indonesia top the list of nations where the greatest volume of plastic rubbish is entering the environment.>“At least 1.2 billion people live without waste collection services, forcing them to ‘self-manage’ waste, often by dumping it on land and in rivers, or burning it in open fires,” he says.The top 10 plastic pollution hotspotsIndia - 9.3 million tonnes a year.Nigeria - 3.5 million tonnes a year.Indonesia - 3.4 million tonnes a year.China - 2.8 million tonnes a year.Pakistan - 2.6 million tonnes a year.Bangladesh - 1.7 million tonnes a year.Russia - 1.7 million tonnes a yearBrazil - 1.4 million tonnes a year.Thailand - 1.0 million tonnes a year.Democratic Republic of the Congo - 1.0 million tonnes a year.
>>16389375Stop! You're making too much sense!
>>16389375This. If you want china and india to stop polluting then stop paying them to pollute. It really is that simple.
bangladeshi gov banned plastic bags, i dont think it'll work, this government is proving to be weak
>>16389375Ah, yes! If only these enterprises paid taxes and created income for the population so the local authorities could afford to manage waste.That would be something.
>Which country is responsible for the most plastic pollution?China is responsible for 32% of global plastic production in 2021, making it by far the world's largest producer of plastic. China is followed by the second largest plastics-producing region in the world: North America. 18% of plastic production is carried out there. In Europe, the plastics footprint is 15%.

It's literally my dream to go here when I get my bachelors in compsci.Have any anons on this board been to Antarctica before?
>>16388759If you want to go somewhere extreme like Antarctica, meteorology is the way to go. There's always a small chance you'll get sent to some war zone but usually not. >But anon, I said I'm getting a CS degreeYeah, not much chance that you're going to be needed on site if you're writing code. IT skills like networking are needed everywhere, including Antarctica but also including active war zones. Maybe you should go work for a company that pays well and then use that money for an Antarctica cruise.
>>16389055> Yeah, not much chance that you're going to be needed on site if you're writing code.New RTO mandate, everybody must come to the south pole office 5 days a week.
>>16388751>Apparently there's a lot of sex.This is true
>>16389140You have to pay for your own commute.
>>16389055I'm a freshman in college right now, so I've been considering compsci or ICT but to be my major but compsci seems to pay more.I saw some jobs that require bachelors in compsci though. Mostly networking jobs. Hence why I want to get a bachelors in compsci. I don't know, it's all confusing to me.Getting a cruise to Antarctica is a good second option, just not the kind of thing I really want.
why are men so much uglier than women?whats the evolutionary purpose of this?

>>16389271there is no status-beauty exchangehttps://www.jstor.org/stable/2786870"This study reexamines attractiveness (measured by facial attractiveness) and economic status (as indicated by educational attainment) in marriage choices. (...) After controlling for people's tendency to marry others with attributes similar to their own (...) more attractive women are no more likely than less attractive women to have highly educated husbands. We suggest that the differences between our results and those of earlier research can be traced in part to the lack of attention paid to men's attractiveness in marriage choices."https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0003122414536391"I use data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health Romantic Pair Sample, a large (N = 1,507), nationally representative probability sample of dating, cohabiting, and married couples, to investigate how often romantic partners exchange physical attractiveness and socioeconomic status, net of matching on these traits. I find that controlling for matching eliminates nearly all evidence of beauty-status exchange"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/2057150X231189027"we collect and analyze the data from the five waves of the China Family Panel Studies (2010–2018) on beauty–status exchanges and other forms of marriage exchanges in China. We found little evidence of beauty–status exchanges in Chinese marriages and even the well-assumed exchange of “woman's beauty for man's talent” lacks sound empirical support. "
>>16388851Men think twice as often about sex as women, men masturbate more often than women, men are more open to casual sex, gay male couples have more sex than lesbian couples, men are less romantic than women, men send vastly more messages than women in dating apps - all proven numerous times in various studies.In nature, women would have had to walk around pregnant for 9 months if they had sex a couple of times.If the father decides to fuck off, then the mother likely dies.Generally women are much more reluctant about sex than men.Not to say that there are no sluts or that they don't want relationships.
What's with this board and being either illiterate or just downright stupid now?>>16389273Ability to intimidate is not correlated positively with beauty.>>16389279This just has nothing to do with anything and is barely comprehensible. It's more of an abstract artwork than an argument.>>16389302These studies fly in the face of the experience of men across the world over millennia, and I suspect these were not actually read beyond the abstracts.The first one:>economic status (as indicated by educational attainment)i.e. the measure is nonsense. This can be thrown out entirely.The others are possibly not meritless, but the point of the post is that this is due to a multiplicity of factors anyway, and what's more is that we're talking about evolutionary factors, NOT present day dating culture.It is a fact that high-status men impregnated more women historically than lower status men. Significantly less men reproduced successfully compared to women. This means men and women faced different pressures. Historically, a wealthy and high-status man did in fact get far better reproduction options than a poor and low-status one, and it was better to be a man with power than a powerless man who was handsome. Women on the other hand were prized for beauty.This logically means men have less evolutionary pressures on them selecting for beauty than women do.What's wrong with you people? Can you not read and use your brains?
>>16389438>These studies fly in the face of the experience of men across the world over millennialove it when /sci/ disregards science in favor of anecdotal evidence>I suspect these were not actually read beyond the abstracts.you didnt read them beyond the abstracts either>It is a fact that high-status men impregnated more women historically than lower status men. Significantly less men reproduced successfully compared to womenbecause male on male violence was so high, therefore there was a lack lf men which made polygamy necessaryricher men could provide for more wivesmormons were also polygamous due to a lack of menalso, attractive men are higher status (there are many studies proving this), and you made the mistake of not accounting for that (which was mentioned in the first study)
Do you guys think we will ever be able to obtain neutronium or it is nothing more than hipotetical thing
Neutrons have a half life of like half an hour, so even if you did get say 1 gram of it, it would immediately start changing into protons and would blow itself apart from electric repulsion... so good luck with that
>>16388569That kind of shit isn't very interesting. A clump of neutrons cannot form any matter worth seeking or that can be maintained.
The only way to make neutrons on their own is when a star dies:https://www.space.com/22180-neutron-stars.html
>>16388606Isn't that because we live in constant stream of particles that penetrate all the matter?
>>16386658"neutronium" beams are literally used for imaging proteins

has your motivation to study math decreased since chatgpt was released?
>>16389221no because chatgpt is stupidas for ai solving olympiad problems, i don't really care because i was always a mediocre, unambitious, uncreative student. it's not like AI is taking anything from me. the only people scared of AI are white collar midwits
>>16372518NSA has its own fabs. You can gain the appearance of control by encrypting layouts going to the machine. There would be no manufacturing middle man just hard rigging the equipment with a USB stick or whatever, but there could be another kind of effectively up one level. You can also validate machine motions.I don't think anyone is worrying about this issue, though it is a concern. It would be much easier to break distribution or other layers. Most people use generic firewalls and AV software which is a much juicier target for exploitation. This is two fold because it casts a wide net, but there is a deference to perceived authority. The many protocols that have been exploited should invalidate virtually all trust in the structure, but people are retarded.
is anything bigger than everything? serious question
>>16388114Unfortunate the bots/schizos got you, but:Just try to remember it for now.Next time you encounter a similar problem, try to write down several strategies you think might be useful, before you start. Then you can work through them one by one and see where they lead. You've now seen this so this should be one of them (splitting stuff into cases, basically).I don't know about being a creative thinker but remembering multiple approaches and having some sort of intuition of what to try when is probably the next best thing.
Reminder that the Chinese room has never and will never be refuted. No machine will ever think or be intelligent.

Are there any notable biological effects if you only ate a plate of fruits for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
>>16387871well it's probably mostly fibre, sugar and not a lot of protein
>>16387873this. you also need protein and a little fat.
>>16387873>>16387877fruits have protein, (((they))) just don't talk about it.>>16387871The main problem is the sugar in fruit, called fructose, and the related fructans, pectin, and alcohols, and to some extent the water content too.Basically you'd have to go through a diarrhea hazing period, until your body is used to it after a couple of months or so, and by then your body won't be able to probably handle any other food and you'd have to go through another hazing period of alternating diarrhea and constipation if you want to switch back to eating like people.
>>16387871Your brain changes and you become entitled and brag about how meat is murder at every occasion.
