Q: AoCG2021 Day 11: Garbageful streams

Part of Advent of Code Golf 2021 event. See the linked meta post for details. Related to AoC2017 Day 9. Weekends are Bubbler's days off from posting these lol A large stream blocks your path.

I'm like 99% sure my math teacher doesn't look at people's homework at all closely, because most of my proofs are weaker than melted cheese and the rest are copied verbatim from his videos from last year

He keeps commenting "Wow. Excellent!" for all my submissions, though, which leads me to think he just looks at the first page, notices it's pretty-looking LaTeX, and moves on

caird coinheringaahing

caird coinheringaahing

Depends how complicated you want to make it :P

beamer and tikz make it complicated :P

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

And I assume the reason he thinks my PDFs are "excellent" is because most others just take pictures of their work instead of using LaTeX

emanresu A

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM Suppose neither a not b are divisible by three. Then multiplying them by three produces... what? Dammit, this is hard

caird coinheringaahing

3,4,5 is a Pythagorean triple such that one of a or b is divisible by 3 :P

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

1:27 AM

"Assume a is 3, b is 4, and c is 5. Then a is divisible by 3. QED" :P

caird coinheringaahing

In seriousness tho, I imagine that you assume that a and b are not divisible by 3, then examine the cases a = 3n+1, a = 3n+2, b = 3m + 1 and b = 3m +2

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

I guess so

I started out doing that and then realized I had a whole page of useless stuff

caird coinheringaahing

Also, pretty sure that if a,b are part of a primitive Pythagorean triple, gcd(a,b)=1

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

What I did. I just started factoring everything without getting anywhere

Oh wow, I actually had 3 pages of that half-baked proof

caird coinheringaahing

You can assume WLOG that a=3n+1, b=3m+2

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

1:32 AM

Wait how?

caird coinheringaahing

Imagine swapping them. As + is commutative, it doesn't change the proof

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

What if a=3n+2 and b=3n+2?

caird coinheringaahing

Then you have 2 = c^2, which is clearly a contradiction

emanresu A

alternative proof

(Sorta unfinished)

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

@cairdcoinheringaahing Oh, I think I see (is that modulo 3?)

@emanresuA Nice

You'd have to prove that you can generate triples like that, though, which might be even harder

emanresu A

1:36 AM

True, self-containedness...

caird coinheringaahing

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM Not really. If a=b=3n+2, then a^2+b^2=2a^2 = c^2. Therefore, 2=a/c, which is clearly only true if a=2c. Therefore, c must be divisible by 3 for a to be divisible by 3, but, by our assumption that the triple is primitive, and so a and c are coprime, we have a contradiction

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

Ah

I meant to say "what if b=3m+2" before but let me think about why that's wrong too

emanresu A

> Every primitive triple arises (after the exchange of a and b, if a is even) from a unique pair of coprime numbers m, n, one of which is even. It follows that there are infinitely many primitive Pythagorean triples. This relationship of a, b and c to m and n from Euclid's formula is referenced throughout the rest of this article.

From wikipedia

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM Looks like c^2 would have to be (<something> + sqrt(8))^2 for that

caird coinheringaahing

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM That's easy: let a = m^2 - n^2, b = 2mn, c = m^2 + n^2 s.t. a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Therefore, (2mn)^2 = 4m^2n^2, which is trivially true

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

1:41 AM

(and the same for a = 3n+1, b=3m+1)

emanresu A

@cairdcoinheringaahing I think they meant that all triples can be generated that way

hyper-neutrino

@cairdcoinheringaahing I think the issue isn't proving that it generates valid triples but that all triples are generated by it

i have been ninja'd

caird coinheringaahing

The two are equilivalent tho

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

I was going to say ^ but it's kinda not worth it now :P

caird coinheringaahing

Let n and m be any positive integers. Therefore, you can generate any valid triple. But, as the constraints of a and b must be met by that relation, there are no such triples that cannot be generated by that formula

hyper-neutrino

1:43 AM

wait, what

emanresu A

proof of that

hyper-neutrino

like ik this is true but caird's proof doesn't seem valid to me?

emanresu A

Yes ಠ_ಠ

caird coinheringaahing

I skip like 10 steps in the proof I have, in that message :P

emanresu A

Caird's is too golfed

hyper-neutrino

1:45 AM

by your proof's logic

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

Sounds valid to me :P

It's certainly stronger than melted cheese

hyper-neutrino

let a = 2m, m ∊ Z, and a is an integer. then since a = 2m, a is even. Let m be any positive integer. Therefore, you can generate any valid integer. But, as the constraints of a must be met by that relation, there are no such integers that cannot be generated by that formula. therefore all integers are even

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

The "Therefore, you can generate any valid triple/integer." is where I got lost

caird coinheringaahing

Basically, we already have that `gcd(a,b)=1`, and so, if `b = 2mn`, `a` must be odd. All odd numbers can be expressed as the difference of two squares (For `m^2 - n^2`, take even `m` and odd `n`). When we take `c = m^2 + n^2`, `c` must also be odd, and `gcd(a,c) = gcd(b,c) = 1`. Therefore, let `n, m ∊ Z` and we generate a Pythagorean triple. However, by varying the expressions of any term to non-trivial variants (that is, any variant that cannot be reduced to the previous given forms), we obtain a contradiction (e.g. assume `a = n^2 + 2nm + m^2` as an example), and so we must have that `a =…

goto sleep, you're worse than hyper.

(Actually maybe not)

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

1:54 AM

You're brain is functioning quite well for 2am :P

caird coinheringaahing

As an example for non-trivial variants, consider the case that gcd(a,c)=3 and generalise to any integer gcd(a,c)=n for n > 1

Alternatively, look at Euclid's proof cause that's much less-"fuelled by sleep-deprivation" than mine :P

> As a and b are coprime, at least one of them is odd, so we may suppose that a is odd, by exchanging, if needed, a and b.

2:23 AM

Ok. So, I absolutely dislike high school English, and the insistence of placing meaning on everything. The idea that every little detail in a book is included "for a reason" - always seemed like BS to me. But. I'm rewatching Great Gatsby, because I love Baz Luhrmann's artistic style, and man. It reminds me so much of what I've maintained English should be: not every novel/book/movie can be analysed to the finest detail. But those that were intended to be, can be analysed forever

hyper-neutrino

did y'all ever have to read lord of the flies in high school english

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

Is the movie better than the book?

caird coinheringaahing

Idk if anyone's watched the movie, but the scene where Gatsby is showering Daisy with his expensive clothes and it turns from a happy scene to one of sadness and loss is just brilliant, and for both the book and the movie, basically every scene is like this. There's so much to analyse, but only because Fitzgerald meant for there to be meaning in everything

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM Idk, they're both very different. Luhrmann puts a lot of his own style onto the movie, so you get more Luhrmann and less Fitzgerald, but that isn't a bad thing

@hyper-neutrino Unfortuantely, yes

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

Mmm, I should try both

@hyper-neutrino No, although I've heard bad things about it

hyper-neutrino

it's such a horrible piece of "literature"

caird coinheringaahing

I will say tho, I like Leo DiCaprio in basically anything he does :P

High school English is 80% Shakespeare for some reason

@cairdcoinheringaahing Memes? :P

caird coinheringaahing

He's a creep of a guy, but damn, he can act

Kevin Spacey is the same. Holy f, is he a bad dude, but man, I love the characters he plays, and he plays them so well

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM I never got that either. origins of language is an interesting thing to explore, as is the basis of the visual medium of storytelling, but if you want to analyse the adaptation of written/spoken media into visual media, Shakespeare is an awful choice. And if you want to teach students the history of "English", then getting them to read plays won't do that

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM It seems like a fairly normal and possibly even interesting book until the last three paragraphs of that summary lol

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

@cairdcoinheringaahing We once had to analyze a book translated from Japanese for word choice and stuff. Like, it's unlikely the author so painstakingly chose every single word in the first place, and it's unlikely the translator did everything perfectly on top of that

@RedwolfPrograms How tf do you even start beating people to death because you think they're "beasts" and try to murder people just because you have disagreements?

caird coinheringaahing

Honestly, word choice is the most useless thing to analyse

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

Ooh, A Separate Peace was a messed-up book. So sad :(

caird coinheringaahing

Think about how much language changes - in 50 years, are kids going to have to try to understand what "sus" means in some groundbreaking literature?

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

I mean, "sus" will probably be phased out pretty soon, I don't think anyone will incorporate that into their writing

(but I see what you mean)

caird coinheringaahing

2:38 AM

Imagery, tone, style, technique are genuinely unique things between pieces of literature, while still being able to convey different senses and readings of said literature hundreds of years in the future. Word choice depends entirely on the dialect of the time and author

Redwolf Programs

I don't know, "sus" could easily survive long enough to start to become gradually more acceptable in more formal contexts

Like, I use it unironically as an abbreviation for "suspicious"

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

At least rn, we're doing Trevor Noah's autobiography instead of a 500-year-old book that takes 3 months to go through. The teacher literally told us the book doesn't really have much to analyze so we're going to do "research" on South Africa and stuff

What's the worst book you've had to read for English?

caird coinheringaahing

That's my biggest gripe with English literature - there are genuinely things that are worth analysing if you choose the source properly. Some dude's autobiography? Probably not written specifically to be analysed. Anything by Steinbeck, Fitzgerald, Dickens? They specifically wrote in imagery to be analysed by their readers, and so are worth examining

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM Do poems count?

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

Sure, why not? :P

caird coinheringaahing

Most of these then :P

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

2:42 AM

Oof, having to learn literature for an exam is even worse

caird coinheringaahing

Again, poetry can be written in a way that it specifically contains subtle undertones worth analysing, beyond just "the author is trying to convey X", but so many sources in English just aim for the basic standards and try to make you find meaning that isn't there, or isn't intended

I maintain that if a meaning wasn't clearly intended by an author, then any analysis of it is essentially worthless

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

Any time something gets mentioned more than twice, you have to think "motif"

@cairdcoinheringaahing I mean, I'm sure tons of works have subtler meanings, but it's better to just kinda point them out and say "hey, this is interesting," rather than write an essay on it

I often find myself just diluting my essays with vacuous nonsense to get my essays to the word count because there isn't actually much to say about the topic

caird coinheringaahing

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM Not every meaning intended by the author has to be obvious

HALP DA MODS 11'D MY NAM

Yeah

With newer books, you could probably look up interviews where someone asked the author "did you mean X here?" and you could maybe confirm that that subtle meaning was actually intended

caird coinheringaahing

Some of the best pieces of art (by which I mean literature, film, poems, paintings etc.) are deliberately vague, but they are specifically deliberately vague. Examples such as "the curtains were blue" may actually have some significance, despite the meme, but that wholely depends on what the author intended, as can be inferred from context

Redwolf Programs

2:47 AM

I'm having to try so hard not to make up some bizzare interpretation, and find all sorts of subtle hints indicating it's the author's intended meaning

caird coinheringaahing

Hell, 2001: A Space Odessy is one of the most vague endings of any movie I've ever seen. But the ending has so much meaning in it's vagueness that its clear that both the author of the book and Kubrick intended for it to be vague - and so that gives it meaning

However, Transformers has a vague and confusing plot. But, unlike 2001, you can tell that wasn't deliberate - it's just bad writing. There's a difference: if you try to find meaning in Transformers, you'll spend hours blabbering on about space aliens and nonsense. If you try to find it in 2001, you can see the insightfulness behind the concept of life and space exploration being explored in the movie

Chekov's Gun is a brilliant example of this, and a great way of telling if the author meant to include that symbolism in their work; and yet, I didn't learn about it until I heard some meme and looked it up ಠ_ಠ

Redwolf Programs

@cairdcoinheringaahing Or just go with the space alien nonsense, in extreme detail, with random background details thrown in conspiracy-theory-style to support your ridiculous claims.

That's a fair complaint. IMO, there are two "valid" reasons to dislike 2001: I disn't understand it, and it was too slow

Razetime

i wanna see tarkovsky's solaris because apparently he didn't like 2001 and made his own take on existential space mightmare

caird coinheringaahing

Both of which I think are mitigated by rewatching with the intent to appreciate it as art rather than as a film, but they are both valid complaints of it as a film

@Razetime I've heard good things about Solaris, haven't watched it tho

@cairdcoinheringaahing I may be biased, Tarantino, Kubrick, Wes Anderson and Edgar Wright are my top 4 directors :P

Razetime

3:46 AM

I don't find what 2001 tries to discuss to be interesting. Visual after visual, then bare minimum exposition. Arguably a very cool space ending, though.

caird coinheringaahing

And a special mention to Michael Vaughn for his action scenes, but his dialogue and scripts could do with some work

@Razetime Personally, I think 2001 is one of the best examples of "show, don't tell" taken to an extreme

Razetime

I'd put Hideaki Anno, Mani Ratnam, Akira Kurosawa, Danny Boyle and Satyajit Ray

caird coinheringaahing

I've never actually seen a David Fincher movie, so I can't rank him

Razetime

Fincher is arguably near the top

caird coinheringaahing

Same with Kurosawa, but both are close to the top of my list of movies to watch

Razetime

3:49 AM

Akira Kurosawa's movies look like they were made in 2021

his techniques of composing movement with emotion is so brilliant

caird coinheringaahing

@cairdcoinheringaahing Scorsese, Fincher, Kurosawa, Coppola are all on my "maybe" list, but I haven't seen enough of their films (sometimes, none) to properly judge them

I categorically refuse to pay for movies, unless I'm at the cinema, so I have to go by what's available on the free streaming sites I use :/

ah, i see

coppola i've only seen his classic ones

@cairdcoinheringaahing So, I am very confused, cause I'm 20 minutes from the "end" (i.e. the 118 minute mark), and not only is the plot nowhere near resolved (hell, it's just about getting started tbh), looking ahead the movie definitely continues for the next 2 hours, so idk what's happening

And, doing some digging, I can't find any reference to an extended version

hyper-neutrino

inb4 terrible ending that just either leaves a bunch of things hanging or just hastily closes everything off

caird coinheringaahing

If you make a 4 hour long movie and can't land the ending, what are you doing making movies? :P

hyper-neutrino

wait nvm i misread

i thought it ended at 118 mins (wait, what's the 118 min mark then?)

caird coinheringaahing

I'll tell you in ~15 mins :P

Wait. So I skipped ahead a little bit. And. It looks like the 3hr 58 thing is just. The movie played twice

Like, the 2hr mark is just, credits rolling

tf?

caird coinheringaahing

That's not the only thing that's confusing. The first 1:30 is about how brutal being a German soldier war, including a dude starving to death, showing literal holocaust "executions" on screen, full "independent film, so we can go there" kinda stuff, then it cuts to some cutesy "dream" kinda thing for the last 15 mins, then to a goddamn musical to close it out

What the hell is this movie? O.o

Unrelated String

*what*\

caird coinheringaahing

Granted, it has one final scene after the musical piece about a military tribunal and "this nazi was a bad guy", but still

I've seen some weird movies in terms of tone, but I think this takes the cake O.o

@cairdcoinheringaahing tone balancing is awfully difficult

you might even be seeing some sorta uncut version

those tend to have weird breaks in continuity

@Razetime No, I skipped forwards through the next 2 hours, and its exactly the same thing

i don't wake up very early lol

As in...

hyper-neutrino

like, 10 or so, lol. sometimes later

though TBH i'd wake up later if my parents didn't wake me up. if i lived alone i'd set my alarm later than my parents wake me up but i don't really mind cuz i'm tired when i first wake up even if i sleep in and i'm fine later in the day even if i get up early anyway, so might as well get the extra time

yes, I am aware that sleeping for longer for one day doesn't fix years of sleep deprivation

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM I am

thing is my parents encourage me to not move out (I have discussed it with them a few times already and actually was planning to move out and live either on campus or in like an off-campus apt. or something with my friend)

and they are right that it's cheaper (tuition ain't cheap :c) and it's just a lot more convenient (like, I don't need to worry about utility bills, food, laundry, etc. I just help out with stuff but it's nowhere near as much work as if I lived alone)

TBCH, I'd rather not live at home for many reasons, but especially during the pandemic, I think I'll just stay like this for the forseeable future - if I get a co-op outside of my city, I might need to move out, and so that'd be my chance to do so

caird coinheringaahing

5:41 PM

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM I tried to go as far away from my parents as I could with uni, which isn't great as they live in basically the exact center of the UK :P

I'm about 3hr30 drive away from them, which in the UK is a long drive

DLosc

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM This was a really interesting one. Here's the proof I came up with:

Lemma: For any integer n, n^2 is congruent to either 0 or 1 mod 3.
If n = 3k, n^2 = 9k^2 which is congruent to 0 mod 3.
If n = 3k+1, n^2 = 9k^2 + 6k + 1 which is congruent to 1 mod 3.
If n = 3k+2, n^2 = 9k^2 + 12k + 4 which is congruent to 1 mod 3.

Main proof: Suppose a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since a, b, c are a primitive Pythagorean triple, a and b cannot both be divisible by 3, since then c would also be divisible by 3.

Now suppose neither a nor b is divisible by 3. Then a^2 and b^2 must both be congruent to 1 mod 3, which means their sum is congruent to 2 mod 3. But a number congruent to 2 mod 3 cannot be a perfect square, so a^2 + b^2 ≠ c^2, a contradiction.

Therefore, the only possibility remaining is that exactly one of a and b is divisible by 3.

hyper-neutrino

oh that's actually surprisingly elegant and simple

a lot better than messing around with the m,n triple generation proof that we did yesterday :D

@cairdcoinheringaahing Your opening statement reminds me of this Madeleine L'Engle quote (about Chaucer, coincidentally).

@HALPDAMODS11'DMYNAM I don't know about "worst"--I just remember the ones that left me mildly traumatized :P

The short stories section of one of my HS English textbooks led off with Leiningen Versus the Ants and then continued with The Monkey's Paw and The Demon Lover. I guess the editor must've liked horror lit. I sure didn't.

the reason her eyes are closed is that she doesn't need them. She is an elemental cat. Her chosen power is JPEG artifacts. She summoned the ones in the picture. If you try to mess with her, she'll repeatedly compress you until you're a grey blur.
