"He compared the force necessary to hold the moon in its orbit at the distance of 60 earth radii with the force on an apple at the distance of only one radius from the center of the earth. It is important to realize here that the great difference in mass between the two bodies does not affect the validity of the comparison. As a matter of fact, an apple placed at the m oon's distance and given its orbital velocity will move around the earth exactly as the moon does; by the same token, if one could suspend the moon from a branch, it would fall to the ground exactly as fast as apples do. Newton's mathematical analysis showed that the force of gravity decreases as the square of the distances between the attracting bodies.

He could now write the formula for gravitational force: F = G (M1M2)/d2• G is the constant of proportionality, or the gravitational constant. It is a very small number; if the masses are measured in grams and the distance in centimeters, G is approximately .000000066. This means that a pair of one-gram weights separated by one centimeter attract each other with a force a little more than six hundred-millionths of a dyne, or about six hundred-billionths of the weight of a gram.

Combining the law of gravitation with his laws of motion, Newton was able to derive mathematically the rules governing planetary motion that had been discovered by Johannes Kepler. In the memorable era that followed, Newton and his successors explained the motions of celestial bodies down to the most minute details. "

New England had a literacy rate of 95% in the precolonial area. Even today tons of money are poured into black and brown schools with little to show for it. It's a culture problem. NYC's students are majority non-white and they spend the most money per pupil in the country yet they perform terribly. It is quite literally a culture problem.

Design study environment and habit to fool proof standard.
Delaying and resetting rewards so that it builds a sequence of escalating action and reward for starting, sustaining and ending the study. Water, snack, game is my heirarchy.
The start is the removal of distraction and preparing the material and mind into building focus by going over what is left off last time. The ending corresponds to putting every back to a "ready to start next time" clean up state.
The best time to envision a plan is during water break and food break.

The Solar Panel Thermal Catch-22Adding solar panels to power the data farm directly breaks the cooling architecture via a brutal thermal feedback loop:

Massive Solar Heat Catchers: Solar panels are highly efficient blackbody absorbers but terribly inefficient electricity converters (only ~30% efficiency). To generate 1.4 MW of raw power (needed for a 1-MW compute load plus battery margins), the panels will absorb nearly 3.5 MW of pure solar heat.

Radiation Reflection (Albedo): These massive hot wings sit right next to the server farm. Because they get incredibly hot, they constantly bleed infrared thermal radiation right back onto the data center's own cooling radiators.

The Size Explosion: This extra structural heat drastically lowers the radiator's temperature differential against deep space. To drop the same amount of GPU heat, your radiator panels must grow significantly larger and heavier, killing rocket payload margins.

At first glance it does seem retarded until you learn the scale at which AI companies are attempting to build. It is destined for extreme resistance and political backlash that will make nuclear power plant NIMBYism look minor by comparison. There is also no permitting, land taxes, water bill or electric bill. You just launch it.

Imagine being this much of a larper.

When i went to college the first time for cs i failed discrete math and i felt extremely stupid, the following year i switched to industial engineering becuase of that lol, am i smart enough to learn advanced math on my own? i'm really curious about it, when i passed discrete math the second time i really enjoyed proofs

1) discreet math is harder than continuous math
2) you discovered something about learning; it takes time/sleep between first being exposed to something and being able to usefully apply it
the latter is something i learned from experience doing physics+mathematics and playing an instrument. ideas take a few months to ferment.

>>16996028
There are various QM interpretations without randomness. It's most well-known as a feature of the Copenhagen "interpretation", which is really a non-interpretation since it doesn't specify how wavefunction collapse proceeds microscopically. It's reasonable to say we are missing something, or at least that there are many unanswered questions regarding QM interpretations.

I would also like to say that the picture you've provided is unrealistic. You can't "observe" the slit with photoelectric detectors without destroying the photons. It would make more sense to illustrate the thought experiment with electrons.

It can make sense if you grasp the difference between an epistemological perspective (being able to frame something as 2D mathematically) and an ontological one (how the thing actually exists). Modern physicists tend to conflate them.

>>
Because of personality types and attraction. Hot people don't have to be nice people because they can just go get someone else to use. This causes a lot of bad experiences with people who know they can go get what they want so act like dickheads to each other. There is a quote by a famous pop star saying women choose who they sleep with but men have to put up with what they can get.... this sums it up perfectly... They think they can get anyone... but the real answer is women get to pick the best of who approaches them in reality. Even good looking men get approached aggressively by women so chasing is not really a thing really good looking people do. Some pop stars/famous people just send bodyguards out to bring women back to them. When you're hot lifes on easy mode and you come to expect it and when things aren't going 100% your way it destroys you and causes you to act out.
