What is the side length of the smallest possible regular pentagon which has three non-overlapping unit squares inside it?
In picrel there's an approximation but what is that number exactly?

That depends whether the result is a true approximation calculation using some kind of optimization method or if there is a closed form solution. What is the source of that result? Is there a reference to a paper? If nothing is stated then I suspect it was brute forced.
>>16804263
I have not seen a paper on that. Picrel is also interesting, the smallest possible domino (a rectangle twice as wide as it is tall) inside of which you have packed four unit squares. That one doesn't look like it should be too difficult to find the exact value for the width of that domino.

My previous glasses were pretty fine at the time, my current ones kind of skew/blur vision pretty aggressively anywhere outside the center, but I did let them use some process to have thinner lenses as not to make them much thicker than the previous ones.
Is my problem related to these thinner lenses/if I were to just say fuck it and go with hueg lenses for my next ones would I be fine?

There's not enough information to give you an answer. There are a host of reasons you could be having problems and honestly thinner lenses (with a higher refractive index) is one of the least likely.

I've been dabbling in enviro science recently, mainly in topics pertaining to oil depletion etc. From what I understand, the conventional oil production and the public discourse on natural resources reached their climax in mid 2000s before GFC, but then they magically vanished for some reason. Does any anon know why?
I know there has been a shale revolution in US and thanks to technology improvements we kicked the can down the road a bit further, but obviously a finite resource that is constantly being extracted has to end at some point (or rather become unaffordable for further extraction due to declining EROEI). The idea itself that finite resources will end one day is quite universal and rather uncontroversial, so where did this conversation go?

Does the powerful magnetic field inside and MRI machine affect the chemistry of the human body? Since the machine also pulses electric fields to manipulate hydrogen atoms does it also affect electrons in ionic and covalent bonds changing chemical properties?

MRIs work by inducing spin polarization of protons in the nucleus. Electrons, and so any chemistry, therefore remains unaffected.
>>16806202
Sure such systems are inherently unstable but that still means they can be semi-stable for a period of time. Take Alpha Centauri for example, that is a 3 star system that has existed with near-unchanging orbits for billions of years. So to answer
>>16806078, yes it's possible, in theory, but it would require a very particular set of unlikely circumstances for that to happen.

Sun-earth-moon is obviously a three body system and it stable. The effects of chaos in that system are so small that it's not noticeable due to the fact that the sun has 328915 times more mass than earth and moon combined. The black hole cold very well have that much more mass compared to the combined mass of the star and the planet.

chemistry question, the notes say "is refluxed under azeotropic distillation conditions until the evolution of water stops". im going to be using a dean stark apparatus so the azeotropic part is no problem, but what does it mean by the evolution of water? is it a typo and was supposed to be distillation? there shouldnt be anything in there that boils at under 100c so i cant see why i would stop then (because nothing would have happened), but maybe water is made in the reaction and im reading it wrong
i might be overthinking it but can anyone put me straight?

To make the leaning tower of lire lean over the edge of the table by N brick lengths, the minimum number of bricks you need is supposedly round(e^(2*N-y)), where 'y' is Euler-Mascheroni constant. How do you prove this?

The block stacking problem has a known solution given by: [eqn]N = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{i=1}^{b} \frac{1}{i}[/eqn] where N is the overhang in brick lengths, and b is the number of bricks. This answer is what your image is depicting.
The sum is just the Harmonic Series, and the total at the 'b'th term is approximated by the Euler-Maclaurin formula: [eqn]\sum_{i=1}^{b} \frac{1}{i} \sim \ln{b} + \gamma - \frac{1}{2b} + \mathcal{O}(\frac{1}{b^2})[/eqn].
So [math]2N \sim \ln{b} + \gamma - \frac{1}{2b} + ...[/math], then with the rounding you can drop the 1/2b (and smaller) terms and isolate for b, which gives you what you wanted to prove.

I'm going through a university physics book. I spend about 0.5-1 hour every day on it. I'd like to get through the first two parts: part 1: mechanics and part 2: oscillation, waves, and fluids in the next 100 hundred days. Would you say I'm going through it fast enough? I'm on page 40 out of about 290. But I'm not being really disciplined. I stop when I get a little tired, I just make sure I do a bit every day.
So I guess my question is if 100 days is enough to learn these two parts if you do a bit every day but no more than an hour.

That's cool. I'll try to create the picture of the domino with four unit squares inside it with Desmos to see if that constant matches. The only thing left would be to know what the center coordinates of the squares are and their angles. Otherwise I need to approximate those manually.

if space is infinite and has always existed, then why do they say that time hasnt always existed? is inflation theory really our current best idea about the universe?

We don't know that. We don't what existed before the big bang, it's almost a meaningless question, like asking what is north of the north pole, since all the space and time in this universe began from that event. There was no "before".
>generating an infinite amount of universes
>the universes are born, they live, and then they die
>the inflation field then eventually creates a new universe in their place
I don't know what you have been reading/watching but there is no proof for any of that. Inflation is the idea that in the very earliest fractions of a second after the big bang the universe expanded exponentially fast. It is a theory that explains a lot of things we have observed about the universe and the consensus is that the idea is generally correct. The inflaton field is a different hypothesis that tries to explain why inflation happened, what caused it. I'm not sure even the majority of physicists believe it's the correct explanation, there's certainly no current evidence it's true.

Anydice tells me that the middle of 3 ten sided dice has a 21.6% chance of being 3 or less. Same chance it has of being 8 or more. Which I understand no issue and AnyDice agrees.
Going by that understanding say it should have 43.2% of being either
But then AnyDice goes and tells me that this same middle of 3d10 has ~38.5% chance of being either.

The middle of 3 dice is not equal in distribution to just one die. I'd expect the middle one to concentrate more around the median value 5.5 and so to have a smaller probability of being extreme <=3 or >=8 than an individual dice would.
>>16814294
I can't replicate the 38% figure with a simple simulation. Maybe it's incorrect?
import random
def sim():
dies = [random.randint(1, 10) for _ in range(3)]
dies.sort()
med = dies[1]
return med <= 3, med >= 8, med <= 3 or med >= 8

c2 = 0
c3 = 0
n = 100000

Looking into it a little bit it seems anydice is treating the two instances of M as independent draws. So it's computing [math]p(A or B)=p(A)+p(B)-p(AB)[/math] and then by independence [math]p(AB)=p(A)p(B)[/math] instead of 0 (which would be the dependent case where it's impossible to have both at the same time).
This would also explain why
M:d3
output M<=1
output M>=3
output M<=1|M>=3
yields 1/3, 1/3, 5/9 instead of 6/9 in the last case. Maybe in the documentation they mention how to actually assign a variable to one die and reuse it but I didn't see it after a quick look.

The value of pi doesn't change, only its representation does.
Your binary number is just the sum of specific powers of 2: [eqn]B = \sum_{k=0}^{n} 2^{p_k}[/eqn] (in this case n would be infinite: [math]2^1 + 2^0 + 2^{-3} + ...[/math])
So to transform that representation to base10, use the same exponents but change the base: [eqn]T = \sum_{k=0}^{n} 10^{p_k}[/eqn]

Not at a cryptography level since while any possible key can attempt to decrypt the data, the result will be junk. However applications can do various things to add functionality, as in encrypt separate blocks of the data with different keys - this is how hidden partitions work - or encrypting copies of the real key with multiple different keys to allow multi-user access.

The pentagon formed by connecting the centers of the five unit circles (in the order Circle 1 2 3 4 5 1) is equilateral, with all side lengths exactly 2 (up to the numerical precision of the given parameters). Due to the specific geometric construction—likely involving the circles being tangent to each other and to the hexagon—it is very nearly regular. The computed interior angles are therefore all approximately 108° (as expected for a regular pentagon), with only minor variations attributable to the approximate input values for the parameters:
- At Circle 1 center: ≈106.0°
- At Circle 2 center: ≈109.6°
- At Circle 3 center: ≈107.4°
- At Circle 4 center: ≈107.4°
- At Circle 5 center: ≈109.6°
The average is precisely 108°, and the sum is 540° (as required for any pentagon).

You worded that pretty strangely, but what I think you want is, for vectors [math]v,w[/math], you split [math]w[/math] into a part parallel to [math]v[/math] (call it [math]w_\parallel[/math]) and a part perpendicular to [math]v[/math] (call that [math]w_\perp[/math]). So [math]w=w_\parallel+w_\perp[/math] and these have inner product zero so [math]|w|^2=|w_\parallel|^2 + |w_\perp|^2[/math].
Since [math]w_\parallel=(v\cdot w / v\cdot v)v[/math] you have [math]|w_\parallel|=|v\cdot w|/|v|[/math] and you can rewrite [math]|w_\perp| = \sqrt{|w|^2 - (v\cdot w)^2 / |v|^2}[/math].

Side Length Greater Than 0.5
The side length s is uniformly distributed between 0 and 1, so the probability density function is f(s) = 1 for 0 ≤ s ≤ 1.
The probability P(s > 0.5) is the integral of the density from 0.5 to 1:
P(s > 0.5) = ∫ from 0.5 to 1 of 1 ds = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
(50% chance.)
Face Area Greater Than 0.5
The face area A = s2, so A > 0.5 implies s > √0.5 ≈ 0.7071.
Thus,
P(s > √0.5) = ∫ from √0.5 to 1 of 1 ds = 1 - √0.5 ≈ 0.2929
(≈29.29% chance.)
Volume Greater Than 0.5
The volume V = s3, so V > 0.5 implies s > (0.5)^(1/3) ≈ 0.7937.
Thus,
P(s > (0.5)^(1/3)) = ∫ from (0.5)^(1/3) to 1 of 1 ds = 1 - (0.5)^(1/3) ≈ 0.2063
(≈20.63% chance.)

The first column is t.

The exponent is 2, which corresponds to acceleration.
The third column is t^2 modulo 360.
Because the radius is moving in a circle, which has 360 degrees.

So i am currently at a crossroads in my career. I have currently been working in a higher paying position (higher cost of living ) for the past 6.5 years that has for sure has propelled my career in terms of experience and responsibility. It just has been absolutely soul sucking rotating shift work ( working 7 days straight and 2 days off - and during the two days i have to transition my sleep schedule). So for over the past 6 or so years i have had no circadian rhythm. So it has been quite exhausting and i got all of the experience allocated to me. I desperately want to be back home and have been saving up money just to quit at this point. This is because of the sheer toxicity that exists at this job. And i know i dont want to be here.
I started applying for other positions and got an offer for a very interesting position back home with a normal schedule (only working 4 days a week )and 200 hours personal time off. It will be in the weapons program which interests me more so than operations at the end of the day. More importantly though , i will be able to pursue other passions of mine considering i wont be working 100 hour weeks anymore. It is just lower paying , 18k under my current base salary.
It appears like a no brainer , but i am just worried that taking the job back home will preclude me from continuing my upward trajectory in operations. Also i will be losing a decent amount of salary as well if i take this job offer. But i know i will be happier. So im just conflicted on the decision here. Need guidance.

Are you sure? On Rax=0 I agree.
But what if we had M=aQ, Ray=Q, Rby=0?
Or what if M=-aQ, Ray=0, Rby=Q?
Wouldn't that also make the system balanced and static? All of those seem to work well too. As I see it, we have 3 variables and only two equations, so there is a whole space of possible solutions

to give a bit more math and less descriptive
for any of Ray or Rby to = Q it'd need to carry Q whole and have Q pass through that point, then there is no force left to end up as aQ anywhere
you have Q acting on both points with a lever a; without bending AB you have that force be directly along y. Ray = Rby = Q/2 since they both have the same lever // Q acts in the middle.
This system can't be anything but static

You mean when Rby=0? Yes, there would be, because in that case Ray=Q and together with the load force Q it would create a force couple, resulting in a torque. But it would be counteracted by a reaction counter-torque in the fixed support M=aQ, so it would be balanced.
Similar with the example when Ray=0, Rby=Q. There would be a force couple created by Rby=Q and load force Q, and it would be counteracted by reaction counter-torque in the fixed support M=-aQ.
You could potentially create infinitely many such cases where the forces and torque would be balanced in different proportions. So as I understand it, since you can't pinpoint one specific set of examples, it is indeterminate, right?
This is a simplified version of a problem I was presented by someone I know. I'm not in the class myself so I can't really ask the teacher about it. My guess is that the teacher fucked up the problem (it's like the third one I found an error in within the problem set, impossible geometry etc.), since they were supposed to solve only problems with determinate systems. I think the teacher messed up the kind of support on the left, making it indeterminate. If the support on the left wasn't a fixed support, restricting 3 degrees of freedom, but a roller support, restricting only 2 degrees of freedom, it would be all fine.
>But any force that would become a moment around A instead becomes B reaction force
Yes. And it would also create an additional force on the middle where the load is, creating a new force couple between middle point and B, which would be a counter-torque for it
>M only sees any use beyond being student bait if the system is not static, if AB was not rigid and could flex for example
True. But my point is no to solve a real world problem, but to understand fringe cases in order to learn nooks and crannies of modeling of such systems (and to explain it to my acquaintance)

>You mean when Rby=0?
No I mean in a different setup, without B being supported
>be balanced in different proportions.
Unless the setup doesn't assume the standard frictionless, etc setup you only have really one way of reading the setup: There is one force, perpendicular to AB, the only member;
>>16832444 gets into it.
Now if you lacked a to position Q it would be indeterminate, as it stands that picture is a Statics 101 introduction problem.
If I try to think like an asshole I could argue that we just assume Q is perpendicular to AB, bUt ThErE iS nO iNdIcAtIoN iT iS, NuE HUe, it just really looks like it. If that turns out to be the case slap your bud's teacher for me, he's a grown ass-nerd and needs to be bullied more.
> it would also create an additional force on the middle
If I have to guess other than red hearings and bait taken, I'd say this is where the confusion lie. The force that would create a moment on Ma is that force Q in the middle, there is no additional force created. Ma would be the reaction to Q (if, and only if, the setup was without a fixed support at B).
Regardless there is no moment because AB is rigid and already constrained at both ends along Q's axis (y).

Why is visualizing finite fields not taught?

Dont really know much about data scienece/analytics, how do I deal with features that I think are important to have for my regression model but those columns have lots of null values?

I'm working my way through a book on discrete signal processing in python right now. In the book, it says that in a spectrogram, the number of frequency components is equal to half the number of samples per segment, but it doesnt give any reasoning as to why. Is this supposed to be intuitive? I'm having trouble understanding why that is.

It's a natural consequence of the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, which you should know about before attempting a book on signal processing.

What the fuck happened to Math Sorcerer? The last I saw of him was in 2022 when he was doing his usual book-smelling shit. Now I hear he's published a hundred shitty AI-generated math books and he looks like Jeff Bezos?

Filter them
Interpolation
Use default value (if applicable)
etc.
It depends a lot on what you want to do with the model afterward.
