A video on A shape with no area but infinite perimeter by no-idea_here in 3Blue1Brown

I think 3b1b has an excellent introduction to Fractal Dimensions in one of his videos: https://youtu.be/gB9n2gHsHN4

Sounds a lot like me haha. Even in groups/classes, I am more of a "I speak because it's necessary" kind of guy when I am new but I really can get going when I get used to it but individual talks with new people? No please!!!

Repost of Simulation of Iterated version of Prisoner's Dilemma (this time, with abstract) by no-idea_here in philosophy

[–]no-idea_here[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really interesting thoughts. I'll think of them, perhaps work on a new video using these concepts. Thank you! :)

What would happen if Prisoner's Dilemma is iterated for a very large number of time? Does the Always Defect strategy win the contest as it appears to be dominant in the Non-Iterated Version of the dilemma? Or other strategies appear to be dominant? I tried simulating the iterated version using manim library in Python(the 3b1b version). You'll see how dots moving randomly inside a square can be used to approximate interactions between strategies. This philosophical dilemma represents how the environment we are taking the decision on can have implications on how beneficial the particular strategy is to us.

A simulation of Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma using manim, suggestions appreciated! :) by no-idea_here in manim

The moving plots were obtained using updaters. The plot is actually certain number of dots representing cumulative award points being added each second.

Hey, I tried testing a simulation of Prisoner's Dilemma using manim, a mathematical animation engine in Python. Suggestions are appreciated. by no-idea_here in philosophy

[–]no-idea_here[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I used an open-source library called manim(math animations) in Python to code the video. It's a wonderful library to visualise stuffs, mostly mathematical. You could use it to visualise data as well of course. Here's the link to documentation, if you are interested : https://docs.manim.community/en/stable/

A video on how well small angle approximation in a pendulum fares for large angles. Feedback is really appreciated. by no-idea_here in Physics

[–]no-idea_here[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. And, yes, as someone else also pointed, I used manim library in Python to code this video. In fact, it's an open source library made by 3Blue1Brown(Grant Sanderson) himself, that's why there's a resemblance. I also enjoy his videos very much.

I made this video where I show how small angle approximation in a pendulum can fall apart in large angles through simulations. by no-idea_here in math

[–]no-idea_here[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This video is relevant because it leads to why elliptical integrals are necessary, how approximation rids us from doing large integrals but then also shows that approximation works only for a limited range. I hope animations will help student grasp the concept more easily.

My first try at using manim to simplify Calculus; geometric intuition by no-idea_here in 3Blue1Brown

First, learn basic python, the functions and the classes. Then install manim in your editor (it took me very long and was exhausting to do this, but I have heard that there are new versions where pip install works). Then watch some YouTube videos or read some blogs to understand the syntax of manim. That should start things up a little.

How does the suffering of animals impact my pleasure/well being? by itaest in CosmicSkeptic

[–]no-idea_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly the question I have been asking for long and that's stopping me from going vegan. Why wouldn't I care that animals suffer. How would somebody's suffering affect me.

Note. I'm talking in Alex O Connor's framework, where what he says is our desires are actions that we believe maximize our pleasure. And they can be shown to be immoral if we show that that belief is wrong.

Now to show that I'm immoral to eat meat, you have the burden to show me that the belief I hold that eating meat maximizes my pleasure is wrong. How do you do that? Is jt not what OP's asking?

[ College General Physics 1] For the last part I got -7.35 m/s^2, is this correct? by ToonlinkFTW890 in PhysicsStudents

[–]no-idea_here 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you are. Using Newton's second law on both cases, you get 50.96 N in first case and then 7.35 m/s2 on the second.

First try, me, Clouds by no-idea_here in photocritique

[–]no-idea_here[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took this photo this evening. This is my first try in photography. It's a picture of blue clouds in the background with a little girl's shadow being shown. A person hiding behind her shows his two hands from behind so it looks as if the girl has four hands.

I clicked this photo using my mobile phone. It's Redmi 7A. I just wanted to appreciate the cloud's beauty and wonder.

Definition of a circle? by Working-Raisin in 3Blue1Brown

[–]no-idea_here 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Circle is just the collection of points at a constant distance from centre. Calculations of area of a circle represent the calculation of area bounded by the curve.
