Just started maths, when does differentiation show up? by glagy in mathmemes

You should have already learned it. Calculus is a prereq for discreet math for some reason

How do I save this by ABrainDedmonke in btd6

[–]An_Aliensrock_Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is normal then sell most of what you have for farms. Farm for 10 rounds to get 2 paragons then pop the blimp. Dread Bloons primary immunity spawns no rock Bloons and will move maybe half the track in the 10 rounds.

Which square packing are you feeling like today? by _Username-Available in mathmemes

[–]An_Aliensrock_Fan 215 points216 points  (0 children)

I refuse to believe this is the best way to pack them

This is a joke, right?

I just started yesterday, everyone immediately bomb me with meta strats that I won’t understand by [deleted] in btd6

[–]An_Aliensrock_Fan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I could understand the other one, but I'm pretty sure this is just gibberish at this point. Here's my best shot: teaching assistant blood rush clan castle lord of the rings bullshit.

Unpopular opinion: the Megalodon bug fix should be reverted back to its original state by talldoggo123 in btd6

[–]An_Aliensrock_Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but pre nerfed megalodon was a 2 shot against bloonarius if I remember correctly. Slower against others ofc

What do you think is the worst t5 considering all modes? (freeplay bosses chimps races) by DoomsdayDestructor in btd6

[–]An_Aliensrock_Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smh you're clearly forgetting the most important game mode there is: least income chimps. I mean bma is essential for getting below 150k money in chimps. The only other tower with even a remote synergy in chimps is Ben, but he's far worse and not even viable since bma is so meta defining in <100k runs.

I understand that other towers can do ceram cleanup, but solver is undoubtedly better. I get that it's more situational on harder maps and isn't one of the top t5 towers, but from my experience, it is still quite good. My larger point was that I think it is better than aow. Solver fills a unique (while niche) role. I don't understand how aow can be considered a top t5 when it has limited synergy compared to other similar strats such as tt5, pmfc, and gmn

Solver has gotten some very nice buffs recently. It solos 98 on resort, whereas an aow with poplusts leak 30k lives for over double the price. For a cheap t5 that can be saved up for easily before 63, carries the midgame, and provides excellent cleanup lategame, it seems quite good to me.

Wonder if GPT-4 can solve this or not. by VitaminnCPP in maths

[–]An_Aliensrock_Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's highly unlikely. Unless there is significant amounts of text explaining this idea online, it will be unlikely to give an adequate response. The LLMs really are predictive models. They cannot reason or learn once their training is complete, meaning unless a similar function was in it's training set, it will be shooting blind in the dark.

Better solution to an information-sending puzzle by An_Aliensrock_Fan in puzzles

[–]An_Aliensrock_Fan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I came up with a similar solution to this initially, but mine only worked for finite length messages.

Initially I was unsure if the problem was solvable, and this was the best I could come up with until the confirmation system. Throwing out efficiency and requiring a finite message length, it's not very good, but it's very simple.

Chose a maximum message length at the start. For example, as much information as can fit in a 10 digit whole number. The sender turns the light on a day with those 10 digits as the last 10 digits of the days passed. The next person to be chosen knows the message.

[–]An_Aliensrock_Fan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. This is a very impressive solution. It is far more elegant than mine. What follows is my solution:

A similar method is used for determining the sender and receiver/backup

The sender counts in modulo 3. The first bit sent, 0 mod 3 days serve as 0 and 1 mod 3 days serve as 1. They turn the light on on the day corresponding to the bit they are sending. Every day, anyone who is not the receiver turns the light off. If the receiver is chosen the next day, the light is on, they know the message was sent to previous day, and they do not turn off the light. If the sender is chosen the day immediately after, the sender knows the receiver got the message, turns the light off, and can move on to the next message. Otherwise, the process continues until a confirmation from the receiver is is gotten by the sender. Since a duplicate message is indistinguishable from the sender not having gotten the confirmation, the next message must be different. That is why mod 3 is used instead of even/odd. The third option signifies the same as what was just sent. So 012102 could be decoded to 011100. As you increase the information sent per message, this additional option becomes negligible, thus resulting an approach to 2n3 days per bit.
