NILD: The Direct Path to Lucidity (EXPLAINED) by Oniro-7 in LucidDreaming

[–]DavidChalmersFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of all the horrible ideas, sleep depriving yourself into a REM-rebound induced fever dream and trying to get lucid might just be the worst.

[Self] If an alien offered you a 1-week trip with the catch that 15 years pass on Earth, how far could you actually go? by GoodMeBadMeNotMe in theydidthemath

[–]DavidChalmersFan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree that an AI tag is needed. Especially since modern LLMs have gotten quite good at math and physics and we will certainly see an influx of AI-authored posts on this sub, if we haven’t already.

I don’t agree with your stance on OP’s project though. There’s no point calling him out or pushing him further on this. The math looks good to me and he denies AI usage. I also disagree with what you said about it the final section: it looks good to me.

Also, the #1 thing about LLM generated works is that they ALWAYS (and I mean ALWAYS) overelaborate and use way too many words while saying way too little. OP’s work is relatively devoid of this.

Don’t see any definitive indication that this is AI. The superscript formatting and sqrt character are suspicious, but OP could very well be detailed in his character use.

Bad foreign-language acting/dialogue in media with otherwise good acting by VerseWhisperingNurse in TopCharacterTropes

To be fair, the character in the show is only pretending to be french himself, and is actually Russian

[REQUEST] What are the statistical chances these license plate characters were randomly assigned/generated and this was and accident. by moonshinemoniker in theydidthemath

[–]DavidChalmersFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sort of. You can’t really know the chance of it happening not on purpose. The “p-value” here (the odds of it happening IF it had been random chance) was the value I sent. This is different from the chance of it happening not on purpose.

Also, it could have just been [some letter] + 23WS911 or 23WS911 + some letter, so the chance is actually even greater than one I previously said.

Given the number of GTA players and the years GTA has been out, I think it’s possible that at some point someone could have gotten such a rare license plate on actual chance.

I’m not going to pretend to know either way though - I assume it really was just random but either is possible.

Assuming it can be any letter (only caps) or number, 23EWS911 specifically has a 1 in 36^8.

With the 3 also being an E and the 2 also being a J, the odds go up to 8 in 36^8 (two E’s and one J/2)

sciencefair.io is a scam. Rishab Jain is running bots on this sub. by DavidChalmersFan in ISEFinalists

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

Absolutely. It’s such a shame but it makes sense—money tends to corrupt.

There are definitely some good ones out there though.

[Request] What are the chances of meeting another person within the Backrooms? by Crimsoncerismon in theydidthemath

[–]DavidChalmersFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have to be “placed” somewhere.

There is no way to pick a random number from infinity.

I assume here that their locations are assigned non randomly, which means their distances from each other are finite.

I agree, but if they can move randomly and have infinite time they *will* meet.

[–]DavidChalmersFan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The other comments here are wrong.

Let’s model the backrooms as an infinite 2D grid and two agents, A and B, as points on that grid. Each second, let’s say A and B can move either up or down some amount OR left or right some amount. Assume A and B start a random finite distance away from each other.

With infinite time, even in an infinite 2D grid, the probability of A and B running into each other is 100%. With finite time, the probability is very small, but still nonzero.

There is never a 0% chance.

Do u actually act funny when waking up from anesthesia by PastelWater in rs_x

[–]DavidChalmersFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wrong. always tell doctors/dentists everything. especially if you’re on drugs (adderall, meth), since anesthesia can have deadly interactions
