@DmitryRybin1 Of course a mathematician would think that an advanced civilization would send a mathematician to meet them, having done nothing comparable in their professional life.

@rl_vaclavpetrik@billuvrites@hicasamadim But will it ever fully fill if there is pipe empties? At what point does the rate from the faucet and the force moving from the bucket down the pipe exceed the rate the pipe empties?
@rl_vaclavpetrik@billuvrites@hicasamadim I lack the physics vocabulary, but there would be a rate limiting factor on the volume of fluid flowing through the pipe where the rate of fluid from the faucet would be fast enough to rise faster than pipe empties and allows more fluid to enter?
@rl_vaclavpetrik@billuvrites@hicasamadim This is an interesting problem, because when water is flowing into a bucket, you have gravitational acceleration in addition to the pressure from the faucet. And then the water will fill the pipe slowly at first until water begins to fill it fully...
@R1chardCran1um0@aerockrose You get to the 2nd to last partition where you start to lose. The correct answer is to say there is no guarantee I win, so I will guess randomly 5 times and then walk away. I can converge on the answer but never converge to the answer with binary search.
Steve Ballmer reveals the interview test Microsoft used to separate problem-solvers from gamblers:
"I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100. First guess, I give you $5. Then $4, $3, $2, $1. After that, you pay me."
"There are far more numbers on which you lose than win."
@R1chardCran1um0@aerockrose He's just seeing if she can identify the winning strategy for a binary search problem and if she can walk away, if she doesn't get it I believe. But even with binary search, you're just partitioning the set. And that doesn't guarantee you hit the answer in that process.
@H0H0v Don't even do the tedious calculations but think. 40% is 80 liters. So 80% is 160 liters. And 1/2 40% is 20%, so 1/2*80 liters is 40 liters. There generally are faster angles than traditional approaches if you take a second to think before rushing to sett up an equation.
@Syl1960@Newsforce That's interesting, thank you for sharing the reference. Also a reminder for myself to not be on the wrong side of Planck's principle.
@luxet888@Newsforce In the paper I referenced
Glycolysis dysfunction is presented as a disease-related process, not primarily a medication side effect.
The thalamus is presented as a key brain region whose dysfunction contributes significantly to the pathology, not as the sole cause.
🚨DID THIS STUDENT RESEARCHER JUST SOLVE SCHIZOPHRENIA?
A young woman is going viral after breaking down her research paper claiming modern psychiatry has been focusing on the wrong part of the brain for decades.
She argues schizophrenia isn’t primarily a dopamine disorder, but a “leaky thalamus” — the brain’s sensory filter — that fails to block out irrelevant information, causing the brain to hallucinate and create its own reality to fill in the gaps.
Her theory also suggests antipsychotics only mask symptoms, questions Big Pharma’s funding priorities, and even links the same mechanism to ADHD.
She questions why the thalamus has been so neglected in psychiatric research.
@Volksgeist_@DanFKent@59thProfile@QueenMab87 yep. if you actually know your field, AI sucks, because you know its confidently wrong all the time. And that goes for all of them. If you are a novice, you think its amazing. I try occasionally to have AI help me. 70% of the time, it takes WAY longer than just doing it myself
I’ve never quite understood how I’ll get “left behind” if I don’t use AI. I’m perfectly capable of writing, researching, and thinking all on my own. What does it do that will leave me behind?
@Volksgeist_@DanFKent@59thProfile@QueenMab87 LLMs are the biggest scam in human history. They double the work you need to do while others expect it to compress the time to do the work
@DanFKent@59thProfile@QueenMab87 No, it doesn't work great. I asked it to double check itself three times, and it did not realize until I outright accused it of lying.
