>>17051968You can't. Anyone who says there is something that AI won't be able to find a way to automatize (when used by the "right" people) is either coping or has an agenda, or is just foolish. But of course, not wanting to die = being a luddite so there. You can pat yourself on the back for not being a dirty luddite for a few years, but only if your finances allow it. Or not, they don't care either way.

It is very common to set different constants or quantities to 1 in theoretical physics, such as c=1 for SR. The natural consequence is that the units of time and distance coincide. In QM one usually sets [math] \hbar = 1[/math], in other words action. This leads to the units of time and energy being reciprocal. In spectroscopy you have essentially both and that gives you [time] = [distance] = 1/[energy], only leaving 3 units: distance, mass and charge. Most other choices of natural units I know of tend to be less interesting (electron mass and charge for chemists for example), but this feels profoundly fundamental.
>>17050052There is a difference between arbitrary (in terms of scaling) and independent. Time and energy being effectively Fourier pairs is a symmetry thing (time translation symmetry = energy conservation, same as spacial translation symmetry = momentum conservation). time and distance is much the same (Lorentz). The symmetries are the profound thing.
>>17050042Now hold on. If [math] [E]^{-1} = [x] = [t] [/math], then [eqn] [E] = [T] = [m] \cdot 1^2,[/eqn]So mass is measured in reciprocal distances as well in that unit system. Charge is not fixed unless one asserts [math] [\varepsilon_0]=[\mu_0]=1[/math], or something equivalent.
>>17050554In other words, [math] c=\hbar=\varepsilon_0=1[/math] sends pretty much every other unit to hell.
Mass Gap is Coming
>>17050556it makes a perverse sort of sense that every unit can be replaced by distance because in practice you don't measure time, you measure displacement (of the hand of a clock for example), same with force or energy
How often do you use Algebra in your job?Math teachers don't count.
>>17052319Just today I used algebra to compute the weighting factor used to compute the known weighted average from two known values. In other words a,b,c were known, looking for 0<w<1 where[eqn]c = w\cdot a + (1-w)\cdot b.[/eqn]I use calculus, analysis and algebra at home almost more than I do at work, though. Sometimes out of curiosity, like to understand the flow rate of coffee or similar things. Sometimes for accounting purposes or in debates.
>>17052329>the flow rate of coffeeWas it measured through a frictionless plane?
>>17052319I computed some Galois representations while cleaning toilets today.
>>17052339Nah it was a V60, the differential equation you get is a bit funky since the fluid flows through a conical coffee bed (which gives you a a neat power law without resistance), and you can model the coffee itself as a continuous medium with a finite resistance.The only approximations made were the usual, incompressible coffee, rotation free, disregarding clinging to the walls (even water level).

I have passed the German B2 exam with relative ease after studying on my own for about a year.I could have gotten it after 6 or 8 months, but I lost a shit ton of time on inefficient methods.What has worked: going through a textbook What hasn't:>AppsI used Babbel, which is considered one of the better ones, it was fine up until trying to explain adjective and case endings, no worth the money>AnkiI learned a lot of vocab very fast, but out of context it's nearly useless, if you really wanna do it, do sentence cards>ImmersionI've played several video games in German, I didn't understand a thing most of the time, don't do it if you're below C1 level>YouTube videosThis was my biggest waste of time, having to listen to fat obnoxious normies blab about their day is boring and they don't even speak properly, I am not even talking about slang. I thought it's good for listening training, but it's not, the people from street interviews are the kind of people you don't even want to understand.
>>17052235keywords: "faster" and "easier"slower doesn't mean it's not happening at all>>17052239Yes.
>>17051451>What has worked: going through a textbookThat's because as an adult, and approaching a foreign language, it's easier to grasp regular paradigms and understand aspects of grammar than trying to learn colloquial speak, which is full of slang and exceptions and poor grammar. Think of how often in English we mix singular and plural pronouns, treat nouns as verbs, don't speak in proper sentences, etc. etc. You are learning the nice formal German no native speaker actually uses. It's still quicker to learn all the regular aspects first and tackle the exceptions as they come though.But in Germany, children aren't taught nominative/accusative, strong/weak adjectives and so on, they just absorb it and copy what they hear. Just like in English we weren't taught sing, sang, sung has an ablaut because it was a strong verb...we just learned when to use what.>What hasn't:>Apps>Anki>Immersion>YouTube videosThe issue with learning a second language is that it's all too easy to just translate everything we see/hear to our native language for comprehension, and then translate again to respond. Kids pick up so many new words because they aren't associating a word to another word, but to the actual idea it represents. With secondary languages it's basically impossible to do that, because the idea is irrevocably tied to a word in your native language.The flashcard apps feed into and gamify translating in your head, which is why people recommend immersion, because in order to keep up with native speakers you are forced to stop translating eveything. But it's also ridiculously slow, where textbook paradigms speed things up so much because we can reason the purpose for a phoneme just from where it is in speech. Although, it can feed into translating in your head too much also.>Tl;dr: textbooks organize info in ways that make grammar comprehension quick for adults like you, but just be careful not to rely on translation too much. That's why people recommend immersion.
>>17052317>associating a word to another wordPeople who use flashcard apps like this are using it wrong and complaining about the wrong thing. The real discrepency is explained by the difference between wordcels (can only associate words to words) and shape rotators (can associate words to mental visualizations and concepts a word represents).
>>17052335Agreed, but once someone knows a language, this becomes an issue when learning other languages if you aren't conscious of it. And this is part of why some say don't use a textbook, even though it is objectively the fastest way to learn a languague, because textbooks allow you to relate grammatical concepts and vocab in one language to your own language, through explanations, chart, exercises so on. Just want OP to know.

How does air get inside e.g. a bell pepper? Why aren't they a vacuum?
>>17051092Obviously it depends on other things too.
I just submerged a pepper and squeezed it a bit, air bubbles came out of the cut stem so its not fully airtight. I know that CO2 and O2 can diffuse across plant cell walls too.
>>17050980Makes sense. Plants aren’t impermeable. They have pores. They need air for respiration
Air even escapes through the rubber of a balloon. It doesn't sound loke a surprise that it would pass through bell pepper walls as well
>>17051092>open cola bottle>gas comes out of the liquidwtf, what is this magic?
Or has it just provided counterexamples to the way a problem is worded, and searched large but finite solution spaces?Or has it actually come up with new theories and structural explanations to obtain positive results?

>>17051205you're right, instead of holding back progress they should run LLM trial-and-error iterations on groups of AI fans. identifying AI fan posts and tracing them back to the fan's real life identity would be a good use of the tech. you 100% should be on a government list, even if the medical trial idea falls through

And all it could do was what people today were already in the process of working out. That's not impressive, that's not genius.

why do different things look alike if they don't serve the same purpose?
>>17050336Because different things tend to have different purposes, but different things can be analogous on some level of abstraction - that's the whole point of abstraction. The entire pipeline from a physical phenomenon to phenomenological one stacks abstractions. That's why.
>>17050336it could be the case that the physical processes that create them share similarities
>>17050336because under them it's the same numbers, relations and patterns that governs them
Someone looks at the image like this and says, “The nerve cells in the brain look just like a cosmic web.” even though what they are comparing them to is the dark matter web. If we are inside a mind, why would we have to be something physical within that mind? Perhaps the baryonic matter that makes up 5% of the universe and exists mostly in the form of plasma is just as real as the thoughts within our minds.

So my dreamjob is to work in industrial data analytics, preferably in battery manufacturing, maybe semiconductors.I have already 2 years of student jobs in industrial R&D in other materials science fields. I know was offered an internship in data analytics at a textile company however it is heavily focuses on CRM and Business Intelligence, so q bit of a diversion. What do you think, is it worth it?
I seriously hope that AI completely destroys math and pure mathematicians lose their jobs, the math establishment deserves to burn. I'm glad I decided to work in tech and not pursue academia.If you didn't do olympiads at 12, go to an Ivy League/MIT/UChicago/Berkeley undergrad, get noticed by a famous professor, go to the right grad school, acquired a famous advisor whose advisor was one of the big mathematicians of the 20th century, attended the right seminars, got the right postdoc, and get invited to the right conferences where everybody else learns who the important mathematicians and what the "interesting" problems are, then you are treated as subhuman.There's a caste system around academic genealogy and precociousness even though a lot of the olympiad kids were simply groomed by their parents to be like this and forced to memorize combinatorics tricks. In physics at least among experimentalists this insufferable culture does not exist nearly to the same extent, people are in it because they just love physics. Physicists are better people. Remember the surprise that Lisa Piccirillo proved the Conway knot was smooth slice because she wasn't an olympiad kid who went to an Ivy League program? yeah it's that bad.
I'm cracking up reading the Fields Medalists' article that AI threatens the collaborative nature of math and genuine discovery and other platitudes about the beautiful math culture. Shut the fuck up, math culture sucks, you only work on these problems for prestige because others told you they were important. Not because you care. V.I. Arnold was right, Bourbaki ruined math. Probability theorists used to get harassed at conferences because math needs to be as useless as possible o algo. Navier-Stokes was interesting because of its physical nature but nobody wants to "get their hands dirty" doing math that isn't as removed from reality as possible and take the prestige hit, even now ergodic theory is seen as less impressive because it's useful. AI burning it down will be good. Perelman was vindicated, mathematicians are scum.
