Most would agree that Humans are a very violent species, and some think that aliens are aware of us and our violence and avoid contacting us for this reason. A lot of people naively assume that aliens are going to be far more peaceful than we are. I think this assumption is flawed, because by the very nature of being a civilization and the master of its home planet a species had to by necessity become the most dominant species of that planet. Its hard to conceive how this level of dominance could have been achieved in the first place without violence. If you're a peaceful herbivore species like a deer, you're probably not going to evolve into an advanced civilization on your world. Predators are inherently more intelligent than Prey, because they have to be. Being a predator is a prerequisite for becoming sentient and developing a civilization in the first place.That being said, it might be possible for a civilized species to shed its violent tendencies after it managed to reach that threshold, but I think being violent is necessary to get there in first place. Maybe an alien civilization shed its violent past, but I think in studying their evolutionary history there will always be a lot of hunting and warfare before it got to that point. Even if they do manage to eventually shed that, it is naive to take it as a given and just assume that they would. That's why I think it is a terrible mistake to try to speed-rush our way towards making contact with some alien species. We don't know what is out there, but whatever is out there that has risen to the top of the foodchain of its planet has managed to do so for a reason and that reason is probably NOT because they are benevolent pacifist hippies. Don't be naive.

>>16981035Its not that humans are very violent. The universe itself is violence. Chemical reactions are violent. Bacterias are violent. Cells are violent. Organic life is violence. Humans are just the tail end of it. Any life form based in this universe will likely be violent, unless, the key here, is that the aliens are slow movers or slow reactionaries. Chemically speaking. Thus relative to our own, they will be less violent. But no matter what, their timeline may stretch thousands of years or millions, their plan is still in the same evolutionary path. Survival, through competition against others.

>>16995871Thanks anon, I actually have a different solution to this problem, I just forgot to post it last threadYou'll have to excuse my laziness with the lack of formattingIf M~ is singular, we're done, so assume M~ is not, we need to show det M~ =1It's sufficient to prove that M~^-1 is an integer matrix, since M is an integer matrix, and skew symmetry of M implies Det M~ >= 0Then, let x be the unique vector such that M~x=ej, so if x is an integer for all j, M~^-1 is an integer matrixLet u(k) = sum i>k x(i), v(k) = sum π(i)<k x(i), v(1)=u(n)=0,v(n+1)=u(0) (note this implies the map v->x is an injection) x(k) = u(k-1) - u(k) = v(π(k)+1) - v(π(k)) (1)It can be shown (Mid x)_k = u(0) - u(k-1) - u(k), (Mπ x)_k = v(π(k)) - v(n+1) + v(π(k)+1)By our definition of x, ((Mid+Mπ)x)_k = 2δ(k,j)So, v(π(k)) + v(π(k)+1) - u(k-1) - u(k) = 2δ(k,j) (2)and, v(π(k-1)) + v(π(k-1)+1) - u(k-1) - u(k-2) = 2δ(k-1,j) The difference is v(π(k))+ v(π(k)+1)-v(π(k-1))-v(π(k-1)+1) + u(k-2) - u(k-1) + u(k-1) - u(k) (3)From (1) u(k-2) - u(k-1) + u(k-1) - u(k) = v(π(k)+1) - v(π(k)) + v(π(k-1)+1) - v(π(k-1)) (4)So subbing (4) into (3) and halving: v(π(k)+1) - v(π(k-1)) = δ(k,j) - δ(k-1,j) (k=2..n) (5)Let k=n, u(k)=0, u(k-1)=u(k) + v(π(k)+1) - v(π(k)) from (1), subbing into (2) and halving simplifies to v(π(n)) = δ(n,j) (6)Collectively, v(1)=0, (5) and (6) are a system of n+1 equations in n+1 variables that can be written as Dv=aD has at most one 1 and one -1 in each row, so is totally unimodular by a known result of PoincaréD is invertible, since otherwise we'd have distinct solution v, implying distinct x, contradicting uniquenessa is an integer vector, so then v is too, because D^-1 is integer, and x is too for any jComment too long.

>>16995995Interesting. I spent a while looking for a "direct" proof like this but couldn't find one before I found the quadratic form business. I wonder whether your proof is just a computational distillation of mine or more fundamentally different, since my proof isn't much more than dressed-up elementary linear algebra anyway.

>>16996590Which is why the book analogy shouldn't be taken too far, since a book has a clearly defined purpose.You might disagree that random mutation and natural selection lead to life as we know it today, but you seem to be disputing that the process, in principle, could work at all, which is just stupid. (the former is stupid too, but less so)It really isn't hard to wrap your head around it. A random change to the gene that has no effect on an organism's ability to reproduce will proliferate. Eventually enough changes will accumulate that they will have a statistically significant impact on the organisms reproduction. If it's a positive effect it will be selected for, if it's negative it will be selected against.

>>16996421I personally find Tegmarks Mathematical Universe Hypothesis compelling. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_universe_hypothesisI arrived at this independently through some thought experiments. Basically: our universe is either mathematical in nature, or our mathematics is insufficient to describe it and needs to be extended to cover the "non mathematical" parts. In my opinion the only thing that can exist in existence is the possibility of math, which is enough to encode every possible universe state and transition. Nothing apart from math exists, although some math structures may be upset to learn this fact.

Domesticus, or the domesticated man, are the nerds. They prefer using logic and words to solve problems instead of violence, they like learning and thinking and being depressed, and they generally don't spread their genes very well, despite providing a lot of value for society itself.

Your intellectual superiors have accepted AI why haven't you?>AI has really been um improving very rapidly. It allows me to experiment. I will try crazier things. I can vibe on the blackboard and then if there's a computation that neither of us want to do, we can just get our AI tool to finish that. I [music] can search literature much more accurately and effectively than I could before. So, I'm doing way more AI assisted mathematics and and collaborative projects. And now, I think it's ready for prime time.>We lived in a world of cognitive friction until very recently where every task required us to use our brain [music] and so we didn't really think about it. We just thought this was the cost of doing something intellectual. But now we have AI and the other technology that can bring these frictions down to zero. I hope when AI usage becomes more common place, people will also post not just their final product but all the different paths they used to [music] get there because that's also very useful information. I think we can find some way to have the best of both worlds.
>>16996125https://arxiv.org/html/2605.00301v1>A set of integers is primitive if no number in the set divides another. We introduce a new method for bounding Erdős sums of primitive sets, suggested from output of GPT-5.4 Pro, based on Markov chains with von Mangoldt weights. The method leads to a host of applications, yet seems to have been overlooked by the prior literature since Erdős’ seminal 1935 paper. As applications, we prove two 1966 conjectures of Erdős–Sárközy–Szemerédi, on primitive sets of large numbers (#1196) and on divisibility chains (#1217). The method also provides a short proof of the Erdős Primitive Set Conjecture (#164), as well as the related claim that 2 is an “Erdős-strong” prime. Moreover, the method resolves (a revised form of) the Banks–Martin conjecture, which has long been viewed as a unifying ‘master theorem’ for the area.>The initial proof of Theorem 1.1 was generated by an autonomous run of GPT-5.4 Pro; a similar run also established Theorem 1.6. GPT-5.4 Pro was also used to assist with the initial proof of Theorem 1.2, with the main human contributions being the downward divisor chain and suggesting Lemmas 3.2 and 3.3(ii) to establish the sub-invariance property. In addition, an early version of GPT-5.5 Pro was used to assist with the initial proof of Theorem 1.3. Finally, GPT-5.4 Pro helped prove Theorem 1.4. Nevertheless, the final proofs in this paper have been generated and reviewed by the human authors, using the AI-generated proofs as starting points when appropriate.>ChatGPT was used to generate code for several of the images in this paper, to search for relevant literature (for instance, in locating references for the proof of Lemma 3.2), to proofread the paper and to offer additional suggested results and remarks.>The Lean formalization in [2] was generated using OpenAI’s Codex. The Lean formalization in [33] was generated using Math Inc.’s Gauss.

>>16996265You'd be wrong, since "many of the Markov chain arguments in this paper can be reformulated using the closely related language of flow networks." Flow networks are used for optimizing operations, supply chains and production logistics, and thus reducing the price of commodities (or at least reducing the price of production and increasing the profit margin.)Furthermore, the proof that 2 is an Erdos-strong prime is crucial, since hamburgers generally have 2 buns.

So everyone knows already that nuclear reactors boil water to spin turbines and generate electricity.How efficient is this process? Do we just boil water because it's the best thing we can reasonably do or do we boil water because it's actually the best thing we can do?Is there no way to somehow harness power directly from nuclear fuel or is boiling water just already so good that there's no point in trying anything else?
