yea, just because you prompt "noAI" doesn't mean it won't be sneaking into your results. I've even found shitty AI generated articles like from geekstogeeks sneaking inside marginalia search. which is just a query database of websites, no recommendation algorithm.

Search engines have gone to shit, your only path for reliable information is wikipedia.

Actually think about it for a second.

sorry, don't know how to think.

did you create a account just so you could repost

no I did it for shitposting. Clearly I'm not the only one who thinks you were lost when you made that post, so I crossposted it to Lostlemmyuser I did not intend it to be my first thread as I never cared about making posts.

looks pretty interesting, but what's wrong with textbooks or wikipedia?

First off wikipedia to me is used to give an intro to a topic, or to remember something that I've learned before and forgot about. It's not something to learn a subject/topic rigourously as you would in a lecture.

Secondly, there are textbooks out there that are completely free, such as libretexts. All categorized in order, from arithmetic to analysis courses like number theory, real analysis, numerical analysis, complex analysis, etc...

for what it's worth, i do like the system. I'm just concerned on the rigor that after a certain threshold (eg, multivariable calculus) it won't be easier to make engaging assignments. The analysis courses I was referring to, there are a lot of theorems a lot of proofs and that is tricky to make engaging (hence why most people don't take analysis courses). If that is the progressional path you are going towards -- higher level STEM classes -- there's already plenty of textbooks that cover it and are more information dense.

one final point, all of this costs money. getting people to peer review is a tricky process in academia alone, the "brotherhood" network (as far as my research is concerned) isn't affiliated with a university unlike openstax or aforementioned libretexts which plenty of universities contribute to. There needs to be funding one way or another. How are you getting the necessary funds to prove to everyone that by taking this course will demonstrate that you know .

I like the ambition, but to make a system like that is a tricky (impossible) process to do without some funding. even the free and open source textbooks like openstax and libretext, don't have that certification it's a liability on the person reading it to get certified. MIT has a similar system with their opencourseware, and yet that still costs money to be "certified" in said specific course. The logistics of this project is near impossible without funding which explains my skepticism, on how you would maintain it to be free.

I wouldn't be surprised the next step in the "AI revolution's global inequality" would be to get people to generate electricity mechanically. Nuclear power plants have nothing compared to human will.

I would do the loop instead the if condition, where letter != 'Y' or 'N' generally speaking, using while(1) for x86_64 programming is bad practice, specific cases like embedded system design is where it's more commonly used.

thanks, I'm going to set it as a banner on my linkedin.

does he have the video's research published?

I guess you didn't read my last part, humans are deterministic by nature; they draw trends based on patterns. if you wanted to win with one ship just place that ship in a place that is completely counterintuitive to what they expect. Having one ship does have strategic implications, that it narrows the possibility of being hit. Combine that with counterintuitive placement of said ship and your opponent is as good a player as a fish.

so does probability play a role in battleship? yes, it removes the statistical likeliness of being hit (ignoring the premise of humans drawing generalizations by pattern recognition). It is drastically less likely to hit one ship than 5, all you need to do is place that one ship in a position that is counterintuitive to the trend to remove any biases of your opponent who has played several games already.

what are you going on about, that probability depends on the number of turns you get? last I checked it, no it does not depend on that.

the argument I'm trying to make is it's statistically less likely to hit that 5 point battleship (probability is 5%) compared to the 17 points in ships spread abitrarily (probability is 17℅). IT DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE NUMBER OF TURNS IT TAKES TO SINK ALL 5 BATTLESHIP'S. The probability does depend after the first event has occurred (where you've hit one of those pieces). Whether you get a hit on your first turn or the first hit in 30 turns, it does not matter. probability does not depend on the number of turns it takes.

technically speaking the probability calculated at the beginning is when the number of trials (theoretically) approach to infinity. The 1/6 probability to role a six sided die on a number (for example, lets say 6) is after doing trial and error of rolling a 6. Now whether you get the 6 on the first try or the 100th try these are approximations of the 1/6 th probability. As you do more and more trials it does eventually converge to the 1/6 th probability.

So yes, technically speaking someone could hit the standalone stacked battleship in one try, probability and statistics doesn't concern that. So if that concerns you, psychologically manipulate your openent by putting your battleship in the first row.
