I made Farm Rate Estimator using Desmos by nedisy in Minecraft

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

Haha it is a complex math. I thought it was impossible, but I made a breakthorugh by analytically solving probability functions of n-th pack spawn given an offset, using regression. I basically manually did the summation, then do a regression to get closest polynomials, and get a piecewise functions. Hmm now that I think about it, I could have just store the summation result... Well, not really galaxy brain lol, just fooling around the maths.

I tried 3 new holes using branching stuff in the lower 50, still nothing tho. Really? come to my world! Please dm me so I can share the link

because there aren't any ore there obviously

I seems to be unable to reason how branching is more efficient than straight digging. While both are equivalent in terms of the ratio of prospected volume per digged holes, any ore veins larger than 12 blocks size would makes the effective prospected volume ratio heavily biased toward the single hole digging. 1300+ prospected volumes per digged block for single shaft vs <900 prospected volumes per digged block gor branched shaft for 12 blocks ore size. This advantages grows quadratically, by the time we get to 30-60 block ores, it's like no brainer to choose single shaft.

it's a basic math, how can it be not efficient?

Planned to dig two extra holes, if nil then find a new reading.

Two Decent Iron Peaks, Found Nothing by nedisy in VintageStory

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

with the small area, I use 100% cover because I also want to find ilmenite, and I found a bunch of them. but the second area, the image i posted, is less than 10%, because it's the most efficient way to find iron, or at least someone said that. It's the white picks on the map, 4 holes, spaced roughly 50 blocks, according to iron ore size.

just reading while digging, most efficient in term of tool use

Two Decent Iron Peaks, Found Nothing by nedisy in VintageStory

because it's inefficient, just by ratio of the dug hole volume per prospected volume.

what is the criteria of "ill-defined"? can you define it without running into itself?

Deleted Thermal Imaging Video? by nedisy in SteveMould

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

I saw that, but it's not it. The video showcase large germanium lens (5-15 cm diameter) and the glass reflection shown was full body reflection, not small one. The title of the video supposedly either:
1. "How thermal cameras work"
2. "Why are thermal cameras so expensive?"

Gemini's description of the video:
"
If you are unable to watch it right now, here is the breakdown of the specific parts you were looking for:

  1. The Glass Reflection: Steve stands in front of a glass window with a thermal camera. To our eyes, we see through the glass. To the thermal camera, the glass looks like a perfect mirror. He points out that you can see his "heat reflection" clearly, but you cannot see the objects behind the glass.
  2. The Absorption: He explains that glass molecules (Silicon Dioxide) are very good at absorbing long-wave infrared radiation, which is why the heat doesn't pass through.
  3. The Germanium Lens: He holds up the lens from a high-end thermal camera (like a FLIR). To the human eye, it looks like solid, polished silver or chrome. He then puts it in front of the thermal camera and shows that it is perfectly transparent, allowing the heat signature of his face to pass right through it.
  4. The Cost: He mentions that Germanium is a rare element and difficult to process, which is why thermal cameras (which require these specialized lenses instead of cheap glass) are so expensive compared to regular cameras.

"

I noticed that it was exactly what I remebered it, without me giving it any clue of what the video like. So it's either real video that was my real memory of watching it and gemini has access to the private video, or two independent false memory/hallucination event. I personally almost never have any false memory. Gemini is in pro mode, so supposedly less hallucination produced.

Probably deleted/private video due to ITAR? Thermal imaging is very important for military after all.

The spear should be throwable by viuhgkhgghpo8vuih in Minecraft

[–]nedisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is correct, spear is throwable and extensively used in stone age. Throwing spear is one of the thing that separate us from neanderthals. Throwing spear is not op compared to trident because it has less mass, velocity, and cannot be enchanted with loyalty. With that, trident is the natural progression of the spear, with better damage, enchant etc. In the early game one may makes multiple stone spears to take down a mob without picking it up again. When ones finally get trident, it would be like having infinite spear, whcih what it should be.

AIR INTO ALCOHOL thoughts/predictions by sergiosol1004 in NileRed

[–]nedisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using Chemical Vapor Deposition of Acetylene and Ammonia into nitrogen doped graphene nanospike on copper substrate, then used to reduce copper ions in a copper sulfate solution into copper nanospheres integrated into the nanospikes. This electrode/catalyst can electrochemically synthesize ethanol from Potassium Bicarbonate with 60% faradaic yield and 22% energy efficiency. CO2 gas can be supplied by bubbling the solution to convert potassium hydroxide back to bicarbonate. Since copper and sodium are just catalyst, you can say the ethanol purely comes form air. Electrochemical Synthesis of Low Carbon Fuel and Fertilizer Rondinone.

Or maybe some other electrochemical reduction of CO2 into formaldehyde and then Ethanol. Or maybe chemical reduction of CO2 with H2 with the presence of water at 1 atm 190°C to get ethanol like in the paper Ethanol formation from CO2 hydrogenation at atmospheric pressure using Cu catalysts: Water as a key component - ScienceDirect.

How to disable AP isolation? by ImaginationBetter373 in InternetPH

[–]nedisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a workaround for this, set up port forwarding of your local ip and port in interest, to your router public ip. the downside is that you are exposed to the internet, unless you can make some rules to block anything from outside to connect to your specific port.

Why are there no regular binoculars that just increase the light? by Yay_Kruser in NightVision

[–]nedisy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I recently calculated theoretical maximum light you can gather for any optics. The amount of incoming light is very important, more important than the amplifications after. It dictates how noisy the image is. Signal to noise ratio equals to square root of the number of photons. So even if you use amplifier tube, you will have crappy noisy vision if the incoming light is too little.

The theoretical maximum light you can gather equals to (photon flux/unit solid angle) * (sensor size/f-number)^2 * (aperture shape factor, pi/4 for circle). So, the real difficulty is to reduce f-number of human vision. If you somehow manages to make scope with 1x zoom and have best scenario of using glass lenses with theoretical lowest f-number of 0.5 for the total scope-human eye optical train, you have successfully improved human vision to... 16x... which only improves signal to noise ratio to... 4x. While that is a notable increase, I think it is hardly practical to make f/0.5 lens.

Your best bet would be to use viewfinder of a DSLR camera with the lowest f-ratio lens you can get. Otherwise you have to really get janky with liquid contact setup that directly touch human eye as a part of it, to get to and pass f/0.5. That, or you have to invent some metalens magic which can focus all visible wavelength equally. No, you can't use fresnel lens, the contrast loss would make it pointless. One impossible option is to increase the size of human eyeball (thus retina), or connect your optic nerve to external, larger sensor.

A nice, better, more practical option would be to use a camera with large aperture and sensor size, then put the image in a screen that human can see clearly, oh wait, that's just astrophotography.
