  1. today I learned about prime and normal factorization. And the use of rectangles in order to represent factors of a given value.
  2. I today I learned about some basic algebra skills from brilliant. Gotta learn every day. Even if its the smallest thing. Gotta stay on brand.
  3. Today I am learning about adversarial machine learning and ways one can trick a machine learning system. Going to start giving a brief explanation each time I start learning something new in order to express I have learned and understood something so I can be accountable for what I have learned. Tomorrow I plan on learning about philosophy concepts such as classes and groups and rules because I sense that this is a VERY important concept. Then I will move on to going back to learning my grammer rules and basic english because I feel like I neglected this when I was younger and it royally messed me up going through life till this point. After that its gonna be going back over all my math so I can have that down pact. Then expanding outwards from there. Wish me luck! I understand that one.
  4. Today I am learning about opencv for python. Its a neat tool!
  5. Today I have learned about, and learning about, opencv for python.
  6. Guys guys guys, let's just discuss/focus this in terms of the new framework I created because of its being able to exist in the framework of reality on what we know. This way we can have a meaningful and useful conversation about its possible implications. What would the drone(s) do based on what the Lax would want it/them to do?
  7. Thanks bud Cools, the reason that I ask is because I want to know if it is the primary cause of if it is just one of the causes.
  8. This does not answer my question. However, I will take the advice non the less.
  9. Quick question. How does your brain function when you are dehydrated? Because I think that is one of the factors which contributed to my sudden "Awareness" of things.
  10. As fast as it could go based on known technological methods. Need ta do the math. Yeah sure. Or how about 1000 LY potential bubble. And anything in the range of 3LY out to 1000 LY out could be a potential planet for the Lax because proxim centari is around 3 LY out. Nothing, they could have sent out millions of drones over the years given there technology to millions of potential areas within there "reach" so to speak. At the end I changed the number to billions. Ye. No separation between any forming l planets that "could" harbor life that grew and evolved. So they would not really have any knowledge of humans, like at all. Only the vague notion that something "could" exist. Huh, this is pretty fun actually, phrasing it in the realm of the possible and trying to see the result from it. This a good science framing @swansont?
  11. Ok, that's my bad. that one's on me. should have read the rules. it right there clear as day. How about this then. "Let's assume that a generations ship ....actually scratch that. An "automated drone" has been traveling for millions of years which was sent out by an intelligent civilization known as the Lax in order to "do something" because they detected a star forming a solar system which has the potential to form a planet which could have life one day based on their existing knowledge. Which we can assume they can have due to their intelligence, replacing assumption 2 with 3 and 4. Let us also assume that no matter what the actions that the Lax will do they will always preserve their existence. So they can last millions of years and preform projects such as this. After the probe does what it does it will return back to the Lax. Now lets say this probe can do anything, "within the realms of science." The question then becomes. What will that drone do? In terms of what the Lax want it to do? I believe that this thought experiment removes the need for sci fi tech, or FM technology and falls into our currently known science. The reason I say this is because 1) It is known from human societies that they will have a tendency to preserve that said society, we are just extending this outward to millions of years for this thought experiment. 2) the idea for a drone which can be developed and sent out into space falls into the realm of the possible. Now will it survive, lets assume that there is a chance that it breaks down due to interactions. However because we are also assuming the Lax are extremely intelligent, based on our understanding of intelligence, we can assume that the chance is very low because of there knowledge of space stuff and they have plotted a specific path for the drone to take to and from the forming object. 3) We at this current time can predict the formation of different astronomical bodies based on learned rules. So it would not be a stretch to say that the Lax would be able to do the same with just more knowledge from millions of years of observation. Let's also assume that they are very similar to human society in terms of its development and behaviors seeing as that it the only example of intelligence that we know of which is complex enough to build a technology such as a drone to do different things. Review of Assumptions: 1) Aliens exist: The Lax 2) The Lax will not wipe itself out due to their tendency to always attempt to survive. So even if there is one left they have developed methods and ways to prevent the species from ending. We can see this behavior in things such as us storing sperm and egg samples and also storing food and such in very durable places. 3) They are what we consider to be intelligent based on our limited knowledge and understanding of what intelligence is. Preserving knowledge and such. 4) They can be considered like a "higher form of intelligence" verses us. So if humans had the chance to "grow" so to speak. Meaning they are similar to us, they just have millions of years to develop there knowledge. It would actually be billions and not millions. me bad
  12. Today I learned that computers are just giant memory store and retrieval calls along with operations being preformed.
  13. Theres a great graphing tool online called "Desmos" which would allow for you to make such graphs. As for ze limit there are also other online resources you can use to solve it. We can't do ze work for ya. Only provide examples tools and give assistance in conceptual issues and check process ta help ya learn.
  14. I am not pretending its science, of course it is not real. Hence why I started this conversation in speculation. Because it would not make sense to call this anything else than what it is. Pure science fiction. It's a thought experiment in which looks at a given idea from the perspective of if an alien species were to be able to meet with humans directly, or indirectly in this case. In order to do so the understanding of this imaginary technology is used only as a means of facilitating this idea. Like how you would assume a spherical cow. Its not going to exist, however it makes understanding something if it did easier. This can then be applied to "if", and that is a big "if", we were to encounter some given" extraterrretrial species one day. It most likely will never happen due to the constraints which the laws of the universe provide as you have previously mentioned. Ok got ya, moving forward when creating assumptions I will try and better define them in a sort of "current depends on previous assumptions" kind of lay out in order to make linear and better interpretable. Thanks ya. Ok then, I retract assumptions 3 and 4 and maintain assumption 2. Assumption 1: Aliens exist Assumption 2: They can travel to different parts of the universe at will.
  15. Lets assume then that there exists some unknown rule or law that allows for assumption 2 for this thought experiment. Also are assumptions supposed to go in order? Like is assumption 3 supposed to rely on assumption 2? Or are you just saying that a relationship exists between 3,4 and 2? I genuinely have no idea and want ta know.
  16. yes this is correct. I was not considering whether or not its possible, but instead reasons why they would choose not to make contact as you so eloquently put it. All while maintaining certain assumptions such as that they "could" contact us. So that is being held as a constant. Like how we could make contact with other humans on the planet. Its a path of action which is freely available. Sorry, should have thought out the topic more clearly. Writing up assumptions and such. Wait. Let me just do it here. Assumption 1: Aliens Exist Assumption 2: They can travel to different areas at will Assumption 3 : They are what we consider to be intelligent based on our limited knowledge and understanding. Assumption 4: They can be considered like a "higher form of intelligence" verses us. So if humans had the chance to "grow" so to speak.
  17. Yeah I am startin ta get that. Like how programs are just memory stores and retrievals and operations and how complex systems can be broken down into less complex systems. But not like "up and down" but like "side by side." Like its all simple, its just the interactions between them that make them "complex." hang on. so the different levels of complexity for understand how something is or works is dependent on the simple concepts of this which interconnect. Is like how in math functions interrelate with functions in order to create more "complex" functions....hang on, is math just big "connectome" of different interacting rules which themselves interact/interrelate? Weird. But anyway "complexity" is just interrelationships between existing known things which are just formed between other known things. Soooo that would mean that there is no "simplest" thing. Everything is just simple relative to my understanding. Like a compression of relationships so to speak. I just...I just got way off track but yeah. Things Literally are just simple. Now do not get me wrong, things can be non-understood/not known. However once it is know it becomes just a single point is like a giant graph structure.....thing Also curse you @dimreeprsong was stuck in my head all day.
  18. Yeah, Like how we view a rock as being non-sapient. To them, our makeup may not be complex enough to be considered more than just that. They may have a limit as to what they classify as being....whatever they define as being intelligent. If they even define anything at all. Classification is the result of currently known biological organisms brain defining things. What if, physically and chemically, there make up is of a completely different "chemical mechanism." Meaning that particles which form our unique sequences of biological life may be totally different from there's. Like how there is more than one potential LUCA but smaller. There may be more than a single type of intelligence we cannot even fathom, or describe for that matter.
  19. After reading @Moontanmans post about the alien documentary "The Phenomenon" which I believe was from another thread it got me thinking. If a complex alien life did exist, why would they not interact with us? What reasoning would they have to not say "hey, here we are. We exist." And I believe that a potential idea is that of for scientific analysis and discovery. When humans who have more advanced understandings of things discover and interact with humans who, in many cases, have less formalized structures they tend to do so from a distance. Not directly interacting in order to obtain more knowledge from a non-interactive stance which could influence the behaviors of the civilization being observed. If "aliens" or "complex intelligent life outside of earth" were find us and understand us, I believe that it would be from this standpoint. As an observer only.
  20. I am slightly confused about what you are asking here. The reason I say this is because all of the source code is provided in the github link on the reference that you sourced. In the github it links to a jupyter notebook which shows the model.
  21. Mine came from me wanting to create a youtube channel about 2 years ago pretaining to reasoning about world events. And drawng "A Line" between the real and imaginary. Did not go so well and I wanted to...well Idk, but here I am.
  22. Yeah its very weird. Like before when I felt something similar to this I was taking antidepresents. Which I am sure I ranted about something similar to this before. But now it feels for natural. More organic. Like I am entering into a new epoch of my life and that I can learn so many new possibilities which can help me so much. Like with computer science for example. I feel as though I have become so complacent about understanding it. Almost like I create some boundary for myself to stop at and be "satisfied" with. Now its like "Oh, well there is actually an infinite number of things to learn and I have be purposefully stagnating and, excuse my language, retarding myself from advancing further. Like I was my own boundary. Like before this internship I thought I new everything about Neural Networks. Turns out, I was being a butt to myself for assuming so, because that "ego" was the thing that was holding me back. The problem is that I keep feeling that ego trying to pull me back in. Like I have to catch myself from preventing myself from learning and getting into a kind of "layman's trap." Being lazy and not wanting to better both myself and my understanding for the world. Hopefully that all makes sense. I recently purchased brilliant this morning and will be trying kahn academy each day to see if I can continuously challenge myself and prevent the ego from taking its ugly holds back.

I think it makes things a WHOOOOOOLE lot easier. Like, before I was like, "dang, how am I gonna pass my classes." Now I am like," brah....study. And have fun with it." The answer just seems so obvious now. With learning....I can understanding exactly what needs to be done and then I can just...do it. OOP, machine learning, heck chemistry, physics, biology. All things so just seem like I actually have a "chance" to begin exploring them. Sure they were there in the past for me to, but I was, and still slightly am, complacent to learn them. Just a little less so now. I wanna challenge myself now to learn as much as I can so I can create as much as I can so I can do as much as I can. .....I'll take what I can get I guess. From life that is
  23. Well dang, that's both reassuring and depressing.
