not really, otherwise I won't be asking geometric meaning questions everywhere
The specific point about the lapacian is sometimes mentioned in lecture and texts, especially in the context of mean value theorem of multivariable functions
well, I am not sure, but my guess is my parents should have ran all the tests when I am young and I don't recall them telling me I e.g. see colours from looking at numbers
Here's a very strong example when I was composing some short fragment, the inset that I drew is a 3D game redner like scene that pops up in my mind when I listen to it youtube.com/watch?v=F2pBMDHz4Os
So far that's the only example I have drawn, though I do experience movie impressions in many musics in the past
for this particular case, the music is composed and as soon I played it, the 3D game like render mental image popped up (which my drawing skills and time constraint does not allow it to be captured as a full colour drawing)
for other cases, it spans the spectrum from music first image next, or image first music second or happens along the way as the music is listened
Yeah, it's impossible to draw them in such a short time, because the actual experience is a movie or at worse, a gif, I see mental animations often when thinking about what I learnt
I don't know if that counts as synthesia, I often just treat my mental experience as inspirations that is triggered by something in the surroundings
Some more interesting things include when sometimes I am doing work as usual at my computer, suddenly there will be an orchestra (both visual and audio) pops up and then I will often try to open the nearest sound software to jot down the music I hear before the memory fades
Relativity is Lorentz ether transformations.
Einstein called everyone else wrong while pretending he had something new to say. He didn't. You can all go home now.
well, I think what I experienced the most are what acuriousmind called free associations, which when experiencing certain events or recalling some memories or hearing the name of some people, it triggers an avalunch of memories and ideas (which can be purely ideas, or can be audio,visual) that continue to free associate along the way and create a chain of explosion of ideas
a lot of people recognise in me what I often refer as weirdness, are often because those discussions and questions arise from taking something form that chain of free associations.
For example, the quantum organism thought yesterday is actually inspired out of nowhere after I listen to a chemistry seminar and then saw the speaker talking about wavefunctions , which then somehow mixed with the bacteria evolution scene in previous night dream
My hindsight analysis of that chain suggest it might have to do with both the notion of evolution and wave function share a notion of delocalisation, thus causing the two thoughts to spontaneously fuse
Well, that I am not sure, because often the ideas just pops up at that moment, and while it seems I discuss it as if I am actively thinking about it, that's actually a hindsight retrospective after the event by using as many of the emotions and things I remember when the idea pops up in order to try to analyse it
that's true, most people tend to think of this as weird or socially inappropriate. But I don't really care much, as the first thing people need to understand about me is that I am weird and I won't try to hide it as long I don't affect their normal lives
@Nat The SO is a prospering company for me. Some years ago there were posts that they've got some $40million investition. Maybe now the investors want to see results ($$$) and they've expected more.
@Secret Are you sure it is an existing condition? I've always had the impression, the reason of "bipolar disorder", "ADHD" and the other "new" problems that there are more psychiatrists than well-paying customers
i used to rant a lot too but then i realized it was pointless because i'm pretty sure other people are aware of the uselessness of some social norms but still do it anyway
@peterh Well, Asperger is recently removed from the (what's the name of that medical handbook again?) and simply lumped to the autism spectrum, whereas ADHD is still kinda disputed though I do recall it is currently not recognised by that handbook
My parents said I am also madly ADHD, which for me is not much of a problem and allows me to access this huge idea generating apparatus that is free associations
O btw, the aforementioned free association lead to this question:
There are examples of time evolution of quantum dynamics with history dependence, such as these quantum random walk examples which make use of a memory parameter to influence the distribution of the random walk.
I am wondering whether the rules of quantum mechanics allow the construction of a ve...
@Secret Once a psychiatrist said to me, that really, not they decide, what is a psychiatric disorder, but the society. They are only wanting to be good to categorize and improve the conditions.
There's a theorem somewhere which says there's a nonzero probability a two dimensional random walk, after a finite time, ends up at a point distinct from the starting point
That's kind of like saying if you assume in the Darwinian sense that natural selection is a random mechanism, even then there's a nonzero probability you will evolve into something other than you already originally were
@Secret I think all the geeks are more or less "aspergic", and it is not a sickness. The "symptoms" what we can read on the wikipedia, match practically all the smart, IT boys. And I have an impression, that even most of the autistic children are in fact healty, in an unhealthy environment, for which they can't react better.
that will come after the PhD, I plan to solidify my abstract algebra using pinter first
because that's the field of mathematics I am most interested in
I think I disagree, autistic brains are quite different in structure even at toddlers, so it cannot be just an environment/nurture thing https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/
but being sick does not mean they are a liability.There are so many people losing limbs and various other things yet they do a lot of contributions than ordinary folks
@Secret not sure if anyone got back to you about that, but unfortunately we can't. What we can do is bug the math mods about it and let them take over.
@Secret We can bring up the issue with the SE team, and then after that it's kind of case-dependent what if anything gets done about it. But by convention we usually leave that sort of detailed investigation to the mods of the site that "owns" the chat room.
@Secret yeah, mods who aren't room owners aren't listed anywhere special on the info pages about the chat room, but they have mod powers there nonetheless
Here in the h bar we try to stay on top of making sure the moderators are all listed as room owners (helped by the fact that we only rarely have elections), but other sites may differ
so that means we cannot catch that Star Bridgate unless we some contact the SE mods, cause perhaps they might be able to find who is persistently starring stuff
I guess for now, we can try to bug the math mods to contact the SE team, and get them to look into the issue, cause recently that overstarring is escalating and many users found it disruptive
I'm modeling linguistic understanding as graphs, showing it's NP-Completeness, arguing that that's why it's hard to understand people, and the doing a case-study on Gulliver's Travels with how Satire exploits this mechanism
“I have lived with the prospect of an early death for the last 49 years. I’m not afraid of death, but I’m in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.”
Everyone dies, and most of us leave the world a better place than we found it, if only slightly. Stephen Hawking made more difference than I ever will.
Quantum algorithms frequently use bra-ket notation in their description. What do all of these brackets and vertical lines mean? For example: $|ψ⟩=α|0⟩+β|1⟩$
While this is arguably a question about mathematics, this type of notation appears to be used frequently when dealing with quantum computat...
I look after about 500 Windows servers and they'll all be updating this week. 99% of the updates will go fine, but 1% is still 5 servers that will encounter problems and need nursing back to full health.
@DawoodibnKareem I've toyed with the idea of writing a book on SR, but writing a book is very different to answering questions because you don't have that interactive element.
I think it's much, much harder to write a really good book than it is to answer questions here.
Stephen Hawking: 'Born on Isaac Newton's Birthday, Galileo’s 300th death anniversary, Stephen Hawking died on a 14 March Albert Einstein was born on a 14 March They both died when they were 76. 14 March is "Pi Day" wtf
"I've stood next to him once in Santa Barbara. We never wrote a paper together but my collaborative distance from him was 2 once we wrote papers with Andy Strominger."
"The word Hawking appears in 431 TRF blog posts. I think it's hard to find another name that is more widespread on this website (e.g. Trump has 253, so much for the claims that there's too much politics here) – and it's impossible to find another personal weblog in the world with 400+ texts referring to him."
"Wake up sheep. How do you know he was even alive all this time? Doctors expected him to live to 21. That artificial voice? Fake and a long running false flag sociological experiment for the scientific community. Motor neuron disease severely hampers brain activity, you expect me to believe he invented all his theories by himself. Hahaha. He has been dead for over 50 years and replaced by a team of actors a long time ago! Notice how he looks the same in 2018 as he did in 1982. The robot voice that emanates from that computer has nothing to do with Hawking – it's just information that NASA w…
