  1. Mathematicians really like their flipped/rotated letters. Upside-down V, rotated/flipped L, flipped A, flipped E

  2. Everyone talking about how the basketball moved away, but I'm over here thinking about the loud slap noise it made when hitting the water.

  4. There’s the old joke that so many random bits of math are named after the guy, we may as well just start calling numbers Euler letters.

  5. With simpler circuitboards, if you touch them wrong they break. With quantum computers, if you look at them funny they break.

  6. 0:35 ...it was about how to program a computer to play chess. Hmmm... The floor here is made out of floor.

  7. Imagine you’re a being living in a high type-omega civilization who is just bored one day and you decide, “Hey, I’m bored, I’m going to make a new universe”, like you would make a new Minecraft world or something. What power you would have, and you would just brush it off as “normal”, since you don’t count anyone below you as even conscious and you haven’t ever known anything else.

    43
  11. 4:56 reminds me of my experience with asking GPT about programming stuff. Common libraries, general questions, usually you’ll get good answers, but as soon as you start to ask for something a little bit unusual it all falls apart. Hallucinations, random invalid logic, the works.

  20. The transition from “your code doesn’t work, figure it out” to “your code doesn’t work, try this to fix it” is so extremely helpful that it halfway defines what makes Rust so great.
    15
  21. Tl:dw, 1. There’s no reason to do it. 2. There are too many people who would be in on it. 3. Why haven’t they wiped out Flat Earthers yet?

  34. Another cool thing about Vickrey auctions is that not only are people incentivized to pay what they want, they also are guaranteed to pay less than that amount if they win, meaning they get the item at what they see as a bargain.
    6
  35. Lol

  36. The thing with a lot of these generalized optimization of stopping problems is that you know the best spot you can find, or at least the limit that you’d be happy with. For instance, I may not know that this is the best video on the entirety of the internet, but it’s one that I will find enjoyment in watching, so I watched it.

  39. Interestingly enough, a YouTube named carykh, you might have heard of him, he made a video that updates its thumbnail every 10 minutes with the best comment from the last 24 hours. It's cool, and he explains the code. This is better, though.
    6
  40. Mochizuki did a fantastic job at something, but the only problem is that we’re not sure whether that thing is “solving this math thing” or “obfuscating the crap out of the fact that he hasn’t solved this math thing”.

  41. I just recently discovered this series, and I think it's cool that you guys explain why something is true, rather than just saying "take it as true".

  42. Then we introduce turning a number into a potato and back, giving any number you want immediately
    6
  43. Another nice ide-related thing that type hints improve is autocomplete. If your ide knows that a variable is supposed to be an int, it can give you suggestions that make sense for an int value.

  53. Lance Neidhardt But he had to have set the box beforehand, and so even if he did predict that you would only take box B you could take box A as well and get extra. Same goes for the other case, take the extra 1,000 and walk away happy with your decision.
    4
  54. I’m personally not a fan of some of those function extractions. If I were reading the code, I might not know exactly how calculateTaxes works, but if instead you added a comment saying “// Calculate taxes”, I’d know exactly what you intended the code to do and also exactly how it does it.
    4
  55. Or does it?

  56. Pi He mentioned at an early point in the video that the triangle-fitting thing seemed like one of those impossible carnival games.

  62. Newton having created his method and not knowing about this fractal is probably not an uncommon thing. People create tools in math and later someone else comes along and uses them for something completely unexpected rather frequently (I would think).

  68. It makes sense that the independent game is the same as the one where you don’t replace the balls, because in both cases the game is fair. Each number has the same odds as any other of getting any given prize, and the number of prizes distributed this way remains the same.

  71.  @luketurner314  well then you’ve done something really wrong
    3
  72. Lance Neidhardt By this point, I (and I hope you) have noticed that we are advocates of different strategies, each equally valid, as stated by VSauce and only just recently accepted by me. Therefore, neither of us are wrong, so there really is no point in arguing about it.
    3
  73. Lance Neidhardt And I have reasons previously stated as well that I think are valid. What is your point? Both trains of thought are fine.

  74. Drugs. Drugs is what they need apparently.

  77. Wdym you can fit way more than 8 Earths in the sun

  78. Is nobody considering the harm that continuing to build larger and larger supercomputers has to the environment, and to those living near them? We have models today that you can run on a mid-size laptop, why are we asserting that bigger is the only way to get better?
    3
  79. X and zero?
    3
  80. Well that was quick, I wasn't expecting part 2 for another couple days at least.

  81. Daniel Svalestad Okay, fine, click bait for people who like to think they are sort of mathematicians but who are really just people who like watching things on YouTube that they don't understand fully.

  82. Yes

  83. if true == false print(“you fucked up”)

  84. The “A must have no greatest element” thing from the dedekind cut reminds me of Zeno’s dichotomy. To walk out of a room, you first have to walk halfway to the door, then half of the remaining distance, then half of the remaining distance, then half of the remaining distance, etc., etc.
    3
  85. The way I personally look at this problem is as a tree of probabilities. The first branching of the tree is when the coin is flipped (p=0.5 for each side) and the tails branch splits another time (even split again, p=0.25 for each) into whether it’s Monday or Tuesday. In 0.5 cases, the coin says heads, and so the odds of flipping heads is 1/2.

  86. "Balloon Kevin! Get out of here!" Lol
    3
  87. I think a lot of videos can be made more accurate by thinking of any given idea with sufficient evidence to be accepted as A truth, rather than THE truth. There could be others, but this one seems likely given the evidence currently available.
    3
  88. Sanne Berkhuizen ok lol
    3
  89. Could you not say “at least 99 of you have green eyes” and speed up the process massively? In the case of any one of the people, they would think to themselves “If the others saw anyone without green eyes they would have left, knowing that they were one of the 99. Nobody did, so they must have seen that I had green eyes” and they would all leave on the second night. Wait no he said that

  90. Niiiice.

  99. For some it’s not exactly that simple though. TikTok has integrated itself into a lot of children’s lifestyles and become what you might even call an addiction, so they can’t just “delete the app.”

  106. The Tzeentchian Representative D20 is an icosahedron, he mentioned it.
    2
  107. Actually, that would probably mean that it's incorrect. If it is really good, it's probably better than the last 2. (For those of you who are going to say that I don't get it, I do. Just being weird.)
    2
  108. The smaller social media units you’re talking about, those that might end up helping bring people back together, does Discord fill that niche to some extent? Its servers can sometimes have massive numbers of people, yes, but in the case of small-to-medium servers, say less than 1k members, I feel that fits the description pretty well.
    2
  109. Wow, that’s a pretty darn cool system. Wonder who thought of that.
    2
  110. No, no, no, you can’t learn Haskell until you understand pure lambda calculus.
    2
  111. You figure X trees per acre of forest, Y percent of the surface area covered in forest, calculate that. Then you say X stars per unit of space, Y cubic whatevers in the galaxy, find that. It’s not a perfect estimate but you only need to be within an order of magnitude or so to do that comparison.
    2
  112.  @luketurner314  Unless the trees are somehow 1/30 as densely packed as we believe they are, or stars are 1/30 as massive (a quick google search tells me that the star count was actually done by mass estimation), the fact holds. The estimates are good enough that even on the predicted high end for stars (~400bn) and the low end for trees (~2.5tn) they’re still nearly a full order of magnitude apart. Sure, we might not know for dead certain that there are more trees, but the odds that someone has screwed up their calculations that badly are very low.

  125. “…and this is what that [FRESNEL] equation is trying to do.”
    2
  126. Here's a question: The hotel has a countably infinite number of rooms. If you have an infinite number of infinite buses, you can assign each bus a natural number and each occupant of each bus a decimal, so that each occupant has a unique real number assigned to them from the sum of their number and their bus's number. This is an uncountable infinity, but for some reason the hotel manager is able to fit all of the people into his countable infinity of rooms. This doesn't make sense to me, am I looking at it wrong? Otherwise, is there someone who can explain it to me?
    2
  127. So essentially we need to start sending up different types of rockets that don’t put out so much waste, and deploy some weird sci-fi stuff to remove the stuff that’s there.

  128. I like the solution for problem 3 is just “oh yeah that’s been proved more generally, just use that.”

  129. I think the only difference is that they’re bigger than they should logically be otherwise
    2
  130. Heh
    2
  131. Why does plugging 3 into all of these sequences always seem to be the tipping point? The sequence for graham's number uses 3, Tree(3) is the first big one, f sub-3 of 3 is the first really big number, it's weird!
    2
  132. Tree vs Graham vs f sub-(whatever the heck huge infinity ordinal thing you want)

  133. Must be working on something big

  134. Actually no, they released those DLCs a while ago, Quantum and 5D.

  135.  @Benw8888  the logic used by a brain is still fallible. If you want to be sure that your model is doing computations that actually make sense, it needs some kind of connected system like this.

    2
  143. Here's a question, can you write Rayo's number with first-order set theory? If so, it's actually infinite, and he does not win.
    2
  144.  @JacksonBockus  more what I was asking is whether or not it’s possible to write out the definition of Rayo’s number (rather than the actual biggest number) using this language. I would have to imagine it’s not, seeing as you probably can’t refer to first order set theory within itself, but I don’t really know.

  145. Nah, we're all just idiots pretending to be smart.

  187.  @lucasthemycologist  1. There are records that are publicly visible containing every resource that has ever been mined, collected, refined, and used anywhere. If something came into existence seemingly out of nowhere, it would be found out. 2. Those people lower down still do some very important things that rely heavily on the fact that the Earth is not in fact flat, and if it were almost every piece of navigational tech would be entirely broken. 3. If they’re doing so well at keeping it secret, the only people currently capable of stopping them are the flat earthers. Everyone else is supposedly too brainwashed to do anything, and I’m sure it would be much easier for them to come up with some excuse than to keep up this battle of misinformation.

  256. I think the solution to this problem relies on how long it will be before renewables advance to the stage where they can be used at the scale that would be needed. If it’s probably going to be soon enough that there won’t be any adverse effects from sticking to fossil fuels for a bit longer, then it’ll be fine to just stay with that. It’ll cost less and be simpler overall. However, if it’s going to be too long, it will be necessary to switch over to nuclear ASAP. That said, even if renewables will be ready soon, it’s not a good idea to take down the existing nuclear plants until they can be replaced fully by renewables.

  301. I kinda disagree about the implicit returns thing, specifically in the case of map functions like the one shown. You take every line passed in, and replace it with something. What is that thing? if line.starts_with(‘{‘), then it’s Some(line). Else, it’s None. Seems pretty clean to me, and it means you don’t have to think of the function as a function, just as what it does.

  328. Ok, someone tell me why I’m an idiot here, because I don’t know anything about how this works. Basically just got into some stock-market-related content lately and have been thinking about this. With that out of the way, wouldn’t it be a reasonable strategy to short some biotech stock as described, but then also buy a call option for the same amount? Doing that, if the stock crashes as expected you get most of your returns (minus the fee I assume there is for having the option) but if it goes up your losses on the short are capped at however much you bought the option for.

The set of voters that are “betraying” were going to vote for both purple and orange before, but if a couple of voters who would be ok with orange but prefer purple decide to only vote for purple, then purple can win. The same logic applies to the purple/orange voters who prefer orange, and so both only vote for their preferred candidate, causing green to win instead since almost all of the people who are ok with them are voting for them.

  381. I have been thinking that for the past while, wondering why no one says it.
    1
  382. Kind of reminds me of p-adic numbers in math. P-adics are numbers with infinite digits, but they are (in a way) defined to be non-infinite. You could have e.g. …99999999999999999 as a p-adic (technically it’s a 10-adic but it doesn’t really matter) and the interesting thing is that adding 1 to this gives …000000, or 0. Therefore, we treat this number as though it’s -1, because functionally it is. A similar set of numbers exists in the 10-adics, where you can multiply by (say) 9 and get 1, making that particular number functionally equal to 1/9. The same concept works here simply because instead of carrying the digits off into infinity, a computer just stops caring about them after some amount. The nines being -1 example is essentially the idea behind the 2’s complement system (more or less) and this kind of multiplication-by-division thing is the same as the latter example.

That sequence should eliminate the advantage of player 1 almost entirely, as whatever happens in some group will happen in reverse in the next.
