resurrecting my sunnyvale-albany commute. its only 50mi but takes close to 2hrs.
transit in the bay area is a joke unless your work & home are on a single transit line.

@copper.hat Yikes. I thought BART was better than that...
If you drive it, it's... what... 90 minutes on the 880?
Or do you go through SF?
 
copper.hat
copper.hat
yup, for most commute hours, 90-120 mins typical
 
Xander Henderson

Yuck. It is sad that, even in Bay traffic, it is faster to drive. Public transit in the US sucks.
 
copper.hat
copper.hat
i went back for the first time in a long time today. i drove down (90mins). after work i drove to the amtrak station (20 mins) the train to berkeley took 80mins and then i cycled home from there about 20 mins (i left my bike in a locker last night).
 
Xander Henderson
Xander Henderson
Fun.
 
copper.hat
copper.hat
2:51 AM
if i was to take transit from sunnyvale to the amtrak station that would effectively be an additional 20 mins to the above estimate and this assumes connections are made. however, the connection arrives at x:11 and amtrak departs at x:10, so that is risky
since the train oiriginates fro a nearby station.
 
Xander Henderson
Xander Henderson
Because AmTrak always runs on time, right? :P
 
copper.hat
copper.hat
there are many transit options, but none connect in any usable way
amtrak is often very late, unfortunately. i do, however, like traveling on amtrak.
 
Xander Henderson
Xander Henderson
I love AmTrak. I really do. There is a station in Winslow that I have made use of many times to get to SoCal. The problem is that there is only one train per day, and it is usually at least two hours late.
:/
 
copper.hat
copper.hat
i understand the problem of transit in the usa, it does not have the population densities. but the bay area does, but is completely balkanised, transit wise
 
Xander Henderson
Xander Henderson
The problem is that the freight companies actually own the track, and freight trains are given priority over passenger trains. So, for example, you might just sit for an hour near Seligman, waiting for a stupid freight train to go by in the other direction.
I've also taken the California Zephyr into the Bay Area. I love that route so very much (from Iowa to SF).
My biggest complaint is that there is no train from SoCal to the Bay.
 
copper.hat

2:55 AM
yep, but understandable, freight makes money, passengers don't
 
Xander Henderson
Xander Henderson
You can pick up a train in Bakersfield, but you have to get to Bakersfield, first. :/
 
copper.hat
copper.hat
yeah, that's totally stupid
trains will not catch in in the usa in my lifetime
 
Xander Henderson
Xander Henderson
What is most frustrating is that, until WWII, trains were the way to travel long distance. And then the auto companies started lobbying.
 
copper.hat
copper.hat
true, but there is still the density issue.
 
Xander Henderson
Xander Henderson
Oh, sure.
But I don't think that is insurmountable. I mean, China and Russia have similar density issues, and seem to have workable cross-country trains.
 
copper.hat
copper.hat
2:59 AM
but it inescapable to me that it takes 2hrs from 50 miles between two population centers
yes, there should be cross country.
amtrak is really the only one on which you can really work properly.
bart means being 'aware' all the time, caltrain has little space.
if i could take my daughter's google bus (luxury bus that drives from 2 miles away to work in the morning, on the nights she stays at home)
 
Xander Henderson
Xander Henderson
@copper.hat Yeah, I've heard done tell of these private busses for Silicon Valley folk.
They seem like a special kind of evil.
 
copper.hat
copper.hat
good idea though, wish there were ones open to the public
since transit can't manage
from VTA, a south bay transit system, "Rapid buses may depart up to five minutes earlier than the time shown, if traffic allows."
kinds misses the point of a schedule.
amtrak has a similar thing, albeit more like 30s.

hmm, I showed the following: given that the group operation m is continuous. So the restriction: m:{c}$\times U\to cU$ is continuous. If cU is open then by continuity $m^{-1}(cU)= ${c}$\times U$ is open, whence U is open.
 
D.C. the III
D.C. the III
Yup. Will do, back to work I go. Thank you
 
Koro
Koro
I see that my understanding of why cU is open if U is open in a topological group G was wrong.
In the linked comment, of course U is open in U. It didn't show cU to be open.
To show that: I define $f_c:G\to G: g\mapsto cg$. Then $f_c$ is a homeomorphism. So $f_c(U)=cU$ is open.
I think this is correct now.
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
Why is the preimage just what you say?
You evidently don’t mean $m$.
 
Koro
Koro
which preimage? You mean cg? yes, cg= m(c,g)
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
But there are lots of things that give product $xy$.
 
Koro
Koro
3:42 AM
Earlier (in the linked comment), I thought that since m is continuous, its restrictions are also continuous so I restricted domain and range. So even though there are lot of things that give the same product, but domain is restricted so that doesn't matter.
Of course, this did not give me the result that I wanted, which was that U is open or cU is open if one of them is open.
6 mins ago, by Koro
To show that: I define $f_c:G\to G: g\mapsto cg$. Then $f_c$ is a homeomorphism. So $f_c(U)=cU$ is open.
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
OK, seeing it for fixed $x$ is easy. Just write down the inverse.
 
Koro
Koro
I agree that there will be lot of things to give the product xy.
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
Inverse is continuous.
 
Koro
Koro
But this homeomorphism should give me the desired result: U is open iff cU is open. Because homeomorphism is an open map.
It's known to me that $f_c$ is a homeomorphism.
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
OK, then I don’t know why you’re writing so much stuff.

well one of the points decided to mess up. in the case of $y/x = -1 \rightarrow -1 = z +1$ using the constraint I will get $x^2 = -4$
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
Redundant solutions happen. There is no negative $z$ on the constraint.
But make sure you check the places denominators can vanish.

3:52 AM
oh so you're saying I should check where $z = 1$? i.e where I "divided it out" when I was creating the ratios.
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
And where $x$ or $y$ is $0$? First see that both must be if one is.
I was very careful making up these problems.

4:23 AM
@TedShifrin I played around and I may have found otehr critical points, but I don't know if the way I went about it was correct. I'll give an example of one because they all follow the same idea. One of the cases I did was if $x = 0, z = 1$, doing this and plugging it into the constraint I got $y = \pm 1$. Did the same for $y$, the other case I did was if $x = 0$ and $y = 0$. My only concern is checking that if one of $x$ or $y$ is $0$ then the other is as well.
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
Look at the original vector equation.
I already said that you should first see that if $x=0$, then $y=0$ and viceversa.
 
D.C. the III
D.C. the III
$3(y,x, z^2 - 1) = 2 \lambda (x, y, z - 1)$, this being the original vector equation from which I had concluded the $y/x = \pm 1$ from before
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
So think now.
 
D.C. the III
D.C. the III
well from here then if $x = 0$ then $y = 0$.
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
And the reverse.
 
D.C. the III
D.C. the III
4:36 AM
precisely. I know why I'm overthinking it, because I had done that in my notes just now, and I ended up getting values of $z = 0$ and $z = 2$. Both of those values give me the same value when I put them in the function I am optimizing: f(x,y,z) = 3xy + .......................................................................DAMN IT....I made computation mistake when I was looking at my critical points.....I didn't put them in f(x,y,z)......😭
NOw it all comes out "pretty"
I brought that on myself....smh........time for peppermint tea, stretching, and bedtime.......I'll be sure to find something to bother you about tomorrow.

@ペガサスSeiya I use this method to avoid such mistakes: Try to solve the questions quickly so you have one-fourth time left. Then clear your mind for about a minute and verify what you've written step-by-step (even do the minor calculations like the chain rule etc.) on a rough paper. The 1 min break helps by resetting your mind, i.e, if you made a mistake thinking it was correct, then you're bound to think it is correct and move on to the next step without really verifying, but a reset (continued)
makes you to check it properly. But of course, I'm still in high school, this method may not work later

various ways of looking at it, but one would be as a vector-valued function (of whatever is being plugged into the trigonometric function).
and if you think of a function as a set of outputs parameterized by its input (not necessary to do this, but i guess you could do it) then that is another way of looking at it.

A: Writing a vector has a linear combination of two vectors: is the solution unique?

Tony MathewTo check for uniqueness, the basic approach is to assume there exists two different solutions, and see what happens. If the problem is truly unique, then you will run into a contradiction. Suppose there were two combinations, $c_1, c_2$ and $d_1, d_2$. Then, $$(1,3,8) = c_1(1,2,3) + c_2(2,3,1) = ...

Find the equation of the plane through the point $(1,2,2)$ that cuts off the smallest possible volume
This ends up turning into minimizing the volume of a three sided pyramid subject to the constraint of my plane.

Vol of pyramid = $\frac{1}{6}abc$

eqn of plane $-bc(x-1) + ac(y-2)-ab(z-2) = 0$

Lagrangian set up: $1/6[bc, ac, ab] = \lambda[c(y-3) - b(z-3), -c(x-1) - a(z-2), -b(x-1) + a(y-2)]$

Using the ratios I got an expression for $a$: $a = \frac{-(x-1)b}{(y-2)}$ from which I put this in the constraint and solved for $c$, $c = \frac{b(z-2)}{2(y-2)}$.

Oh. You are confusing yourself with what's the variables and what's not. Did you do gradients with respect to $(a,b,c)$?
You did not set it up to get the constraint equation at all.
There should be no $x,y,z$ in it.
 
D.C. the III
D.C. the III
yes, everything was done in terms of $(a,b,c)$. I treated the $(x-1), (y-2), (z-2)$ as just constants.
oh...
 
Ted Shifrin

What does that even mean?
 
D.C. the III
D.C. the III
wasn't $-bc(x-1) + ac(y-2)-ab(z-2) = 0$ i.e the equation of the plane the constraint equation? To get that equation I took the intercepts $(a,0,0), (0,b,0), (0,0,c)$ got some direction vectors by subtracting pairs of intercepts, then I took the cross product to get the normal and used the expression $(-bc, ac, -ab) \cdot (x-1, y-2, z-2)$ to get my equation of the plane.
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
It makes no sense. Your variables are $a,b,c$. Who are $x,y,z$?
The constraint is that the plane with equation $x/a+y/b+z/c=1$ passes through $(1,2,2)$.
 
D.C. the III
D.C. the III
I should be able to reconcile that intercept form of equation by getting the equation in the way I was trying to right?
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
9:53 PM
Your equation never tells us that the intercepts are $a,b,c$, does it? Go back to first principles.
If you can't explain what $x,y,z$ mean in the context of your problem, then this cannot be right
 
D.C. the III
D.C. the III
Well before this discussion I was thinking of $x,y,z$ as points on the plane.
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
But who cares about points (x,y,z) on the plane, other than the intercepts and $(1,2,2)$?
Does your plane actually have the right intercepts? I think not.
 
D.C. the III
D.C. the III
Correct. So my thinking went along the lines of I have my intercepts, and I have my point $(1,2,2)$. So I sought out to get a "general equation" of my plane. Then I was going to find the $a,b,c$ that would explicitly describe the plane used to minimize the volume of the pyramid
THat was how I thought about it coming together
 
Ted Shifrin
Ted Shifrin
Well, show me that your plane has the right intercepts.

I'm actually going about that now based on your comment on $x,y,z$ should not be there
Ok I worked things out.....that $x,y,z$ did make a mess of everything. I think I introduced that because I was remmebering a comment you said about another question about being careful of how I named my variables to limit confusion
