2023.03.27 18:50 austinkunchn Graph mining/exploration for subpath identification based on edge values
Problem statement: I have a sparse directed graph (about 6000-10000 nodes) with no node attributes, and numerical edge values. (The edge values are calculated by the same program based on data regarding the nodes, based on a statistical formula, if it's important)
Goal: I want to find paths within the graph that have significantly higher edge values than the rest of the paths' edges (edge values are relative).
I thought about graph clustering and partitioning but don't care about how highly connected a particular node is, and from my (elementary) understanding, these methods are not really well-suited for paths.
I thought about doing a variation of iterative deepening search that starts on every node that has 0 incoming edges (and terminates when the last explored node has a small number of outgoing edges with small edge values), but these first edges that the search encounters may have smaller values than edges further down the paths, so if I use a traditional search algorithm, it would have to recursively update the start node for some iterations to reach the goal state, which is a path with all edges having edge values larger than other paths in the graph. As an extension, perhaps node characteristics (such as number of outgoing edges and their edge values) could be used as a heuristic? Also, the whole graph needs to be explored, and edge values are relative to each other so the comparison between different paths has to be relative. Is anyone aware of a search method like this, or another method that may be suitable?

2023.03.27 18:50 URBANnebula64 Python Coding: finding the energy levels of harmonic potential embedded in infinite square well
I have tried for hours to fix this code but it doesn't work. I am trying ro generate energy level and plots of wavefunction but they are both wrong for some reason. The curves are just flat lines that spike up at the very end. This could previously worked when using a potential that just retuned 0. But when trying to use a harmonic potential it fails completely. Im not sure if my E_guess is wrong of what else might be wrong:

2023.03.27 18:48 Risk-Averse-Rider Need help with wp_query that puts post_date in meta_query instead of date_query
I'm working on some shortcodes to display posts in a certain way so that the output can be copy/pasted into Mailchimp for a weekly newsletter. These are all standard WordPress posts, but there are Advanced Custom Fields involved in selecting the post.
Basically, we are using ACF fields to identify:
I have shortcodes working for all of these needs, but something else has come up with the announcement-only posts. The follow code is working fine for that - we set a value for $earliest_date (2 weeks before the next newsletter publication date), make sure the post_date is after that, and make sure that the start_datetime ACF is empty or doesn't exist so we know it's not a post about a dated event. (Note that it's using date_query to check the post_date.)
$uucp_args = array( 'category_name' => $atts['category'], 'posts_per_page' => $atts['nr_posts'], 'date_query' => array( array( 'after' => $earliest_date, 'column' => 'post_date', ), ), 'meta_query' => array( 'relation' => 'OR', array( 'key' => 'start_datetime', 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS' ), array( 'key' => 'start_datetime', 'value' => '', 'compare' => '=' ) ), 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC' );
But then we realized that there are some special cases in which we'd really like to let a general announcement hang around longer than 2 weeks. Obviously, we could go in and update the publication date, but that's kind of kludgy.
So I thought we could add another ACF called expiration_date and use that if we wanted to extend the life of a post. The shortcode would check the post_date against the $earliest_date value, but it would also check to see if there was an expiration_date that was after the publication date.
$query_args = array( 'category_name' => $atts['category'], 'posts_per_page' => $atts['nr_posts'], 'meta_query' => array( 'relation' => 'OR', array( array( 'relation' => 'OR', array( 'key' => 'start_datetime', 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS' ), array( 'key' => 'start_datetime', 'value' => '', 'compare' => '=' ) ), array( 'key' => 'post_date', 'value' => $earliest_date, 'compare' => '>=', ) ), array( 'key' => 'expiration_date', 'value' => $pub_date, 'compare' => '>=' ), ), 'orderby' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC', );
But this is only pulling in posts that have an expiration_date. I want to pull in everything that the first query pulls in plus anything with an expiration_date that's after the next publication date. I have tried umpteen gazillion variants, trying to get something to work, but I'm clearly missing something.
Any suggestions?

Basically, we are using ACF fields to identify:
- Posts about 1-time events - ACFs are start_datetime and end_time
- Posts about recurring events - ACFs are start_datetime, end_time, end_date, and recurrence (a description like "4 Mondays from 4 - 6pm" - yes, this could be extrapolated from the other ACFs, but it's easier just to ask people to provide a description)
- Posts that are just announcements, unrelated to any specific dated events - we generally want these to run in the newsletter for no more than 2 consecutive weeks, so we use the post_date as a cutoff (newsletter publication date minus 14 days)

2023.03.27 18:46 ThrowawayTrainee749 Need someone to tell me exactly what my tax position is?
So, for context
I'm 23, in my first "real" job in terms of, I get a pay slip every month, actually earning enough to pay tax. Tax code is 1257L.
This year, I've been paid £18,535.49 before tax.
I have paid £1578.00 in tax, £895.83 in NI and £374.44 as "relief at source" pension payments.
The government calculator says I should have only paid £1191.30 in tax on this pay. My pay varied month to month due to changes in hours because I was studying, and then extra hours on top of that - each month was taxed as if that was my monthly wage (e.g. if I got £1950 that month, I was taxed as if I was paid £1950 every month).
Please can someone tell me if I'm wrong in thinking I'm now due a £386.70 tax rebate? That money would be supeeeer helpful to save away for upcoming trips, but I don't want to get excited about this until someone has confirmed it.
I'm guessing that if it'll show online, it'll show on the 5th or 6th of April?

2023.03.27 18:44 ChristionRay Saved Search Formula
I need help calculating a percentage of a commonly used Expense, to the total of the Bill.
Essentially we have a Freight Expense that is tacked on, and we want to find the percentage of the Freight expense to the total of the Bill, and look at them all from a monthly perspective.
If the Bill total was $1000.00 and Freight was $100.00, the Expense % would be 10%. But it is proving difficult, any help would be greatly appreciated!

2023.03.27 18:44 austinkunchn [P] Graph mining/exploration for subpath identification based on edge values
Problem statement: I have a sparse directed graph (about 6000-10000 nodes) with no node attributes, and numerical edge values. (The edge values are calculated by the same program based on data regarding the nodes, based on a statistical formula, if it's important)
Goal: I want to find paths within the graph that have significantly higher edge values than the rest of the paths' edges (edge values are relative).
I thought about graph clustering and partitioning but don't care about how highly connected a particular node is, and from my (elementary) understanding, these methods are not really well-suited for paths.
I thought about doing a variation of iterative deepening search that starts on every node that has 0 incoming edges (and terminates when the last explored node has a small number of outgoing edges with small edge values), but these first edges that the search encounters may have smaller values than edges further down the paths, so if I use a traditional search algorithm, it would have to recursively update the start node for some iterations to reach the goal state, which is a path with all edges having edge values larger than other paths in the graph. As an extension, perhaps node characteristics (such as number of outgoing edges and their edge values) could be used as a heuristic? Also, the whole graph needs to be explored, and edge values are relative to each other so the comparison between different paths has to be relative. Is anyone aware of a search method like this, or another method that may be suitable?

2023.03.27 18:42 Lenir_ I am not sure anyone talked about this but I wanna share some theory...
Hi, I just played deltarune like only a week ago, and I kinda love this story.
I searched some of the theories people talked about, and read some fanfics..., and I thought the content of the theory I was thinking about didn't seem to be discussed. I might be wrong since I am kinda bad at searching, so I am hoping writing this post help me to understand better of the story.
Before I continue, I want to make sure that I am not a native english speaker. So, I think there should be several grammar mistakes, and some sentences might not make sense so it could be hard to understand. But I will do my best to explain with help of translator and dictionary, and really hope I can share my thoughts.
In the story, I think disaster will eventually be inevitable.
To stop the disaster, we have to close the Dark Mountains and drive out the angels' Heaven. According to Ralsay's additional information in Chapter 2, otherwise The Roaring will occur, and Titans will wake up to bring an end to the World.
Titan is definitely a name based on Greek mythology, but I felt that this description was more of a Ragnarok. It's even more like Ragnarok in that it was predicted in Norse Mythology that no matter how much the gods were preparing for war, no matter what choice they made, they would all end up dead.
Then I understand that Toby Fox said the ending was decided anyway. If the end is coming anyway, they're all dead or they're successful in surviving.
There is a difference in Deltarune that you have to meet the conditions for this disaster to occur, but let's move on.
But it's said that this prophecy is delivered only in the shadow. If you interpret the shadow as Dark World, it's a little weird. The symbol of Deltarune can be found not only in Dark World but also in Light World, but isn't it delivered in Light World?
Even though the prophecy clearly requires two Lightners.
Maybe Shadow doesn't mean Dark World, just everyone's does not talk them openly. The world is a place where all kinds of people live together, so even if you share information about the end, there may be people who want to speed it up.
Let's assume that Delta's religion is an apocalyptic character or a foreshadowing of a final judgment, and let's imagine that efforts are being made to prevent the end in the shadow. maybe darkners and lightners work together in this? I am not sure with that tho.
I thought players and vessels would appear here.
Anyway, back to the point.
Players create Vessel at the beginning of the game, but the result is discarded. All the image files used at that time include the word GONER in capital letters in the file names.
It's quite suspicious to see it as just to lure users.
Isn't it suggestive that in the shadow some group, or figure, was conducting research on Vessel and SOULs to prevent the end, and that several bowls were made and discarded in the process?
Kris is, like, a survivor and the only Vessel to escape from there before they get possessed with player.
I don't know if the monsters in the village have anything to do with this Vessel project, but I also feel like a bunker near the graveyard might have something to do with it. Because Kris saw something there, and there was a description that seemed to be afraid of it.
It is a little uncertain whether Dess has a problem or not, but if she has a problem with Kris's past, it may explain why Kris get far away from the Holiday family and their sudden personality darkening afterwards.
And they needed someone to take responsibility for these cases, so maybe that's why Asgore suddenly had to give up his job as a police officer in a town where even crime is rare.
If you've talked to Catti, you probably know, Kris once studied occult with Catti. The occult is also diverse, so I don't know exactly what subject he studied, but Kris chose an ad about Demon Summoning Class for Teenagers...
I think it's really significant considering that the prophesy has set Angel's Heaven as its opponent.
Angels generally convey the will and thoughts of a higher-order being rather than carrying out their beliefs and definitions. A higher-order being, usually represented as a god, speaks of mercy through angels or declares destruction.
It was obviously the player that this angel was representing at Undertale. But in Deltarune, a player is not a decision maker.
Also, while I was searching the dictionary, I found that 'make a call' literally means to make a call, but also to make a decision. Spamton says so many times that Heaven and this 'making a call' are involved.
I thought it would make sense to change the word 'Angel' to 'Puppet' here.
Noelle becomes the player's angel on the weird route. Spamton was angel of Heaven which I still don't know.
Of course, it doesn't mean that players are heaven. But the ones on the extremes sometimes look alike, and there's a saying, "Fight Fire with Fire".
I don't know if there is the same belief in your country, but there is a story in our country that the soul lives in old, memorable objects. In our folktales, the spirits like humans, enjoy dancing and singing, and if you make them fun, they give you many things in return. When the sun rises, they return to their true selves, but when darkness comes, they become human beings again and have fun.
I don't know if I can say it's exactly like the existence of a fairy, but I thought of our folklores when I saw Darkners.
This isn't really important, but I wanted to share it because I felt it while watching the story.
------------------------------------------------------
I don't know if my story sounded convincing. It's probably a theory that everyone went through once, and it's discarded for reasons I don't know yet. If so, could you tell me in a comment?
It hasn't been long since I played Deltarune, but I'm very interested in this story, and I'm willing to know if there's anything I don't know.
Thank you for reading a post that may have a lot of problems.
If there is a serious problem with this post itself, please let me know. I'll fix it as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning.

- The prophecy
The prophecy that Ralsay revealed says that if the balance between light and darkness is broken, disaster will occur and three heroes will appear at the edge of the world. It's the order of prophecy that the balance collapses, disaster occurs, and then the hero appears. I'm referring to this sequence because, from what I've looked up, Toby Fox has said that the game's ending is decided after all.
In the story, I think disaster will eventually be inevitable.
To stop the disaster, we have to close the Dark Mountains and drive out the angels' Heaven. According to Ralsay's additional information in Chapter 2, otherwise The Roaring will occur, and Titans will wake up to bring an end to the World.

I thought players and vessels would appear here.
- Kris is created as a Vessel.
Of course we did not create them. But I think they are created as a Vessel just like the beginning.
In Chapter 1, the window name changed from 'CONTACT', 'The beginning', and then to 'THE DARK'. So it's possible to think that making Vessels might be connected to The Dark World.
And what's noticeable if you start the game for the first time is that there's already a file named [KRIS] at the first save point. The save file's playtime is 0:00, which is pretty weird. Although there is a similar Flowey in Toby Fox's previous work, Undertale, they used so much of the power of saves and loads that his play time was extremely long. In addition, save points exist only in Darkworld, and the player's play time is calculated including all the time in Lightworld.
On the other hand, the KRIS file seems to be saved as soon as the character is created, and abandoned at the same time.
Maybe it's just that Kris found the save point right away as soon as he entered Dark World, saved it, and never touched it again. Which is... I think still a weird thing.
Anyway, back to the point.

- Angel's Heaven
This is not a very important part. Because I really don't know!
I'm not sure what it is, but I think there's a lot of emphasis on puppets in Chapter 2, so I just want to make a short comment on my thoughts.
Angels generally convey the will and thoughts of a higher-order being rather than carrying out their beliefs and definitions. A higher-order being, usually represented as a god, speaks of mercy through angels or declares destruction.

Of course, it doesn't mean that players are heaven. But the ones on the extremes sometimes look alike, and there's a saying, "Fight Fire with Fire".
- It's really a story of P.S.
Have you ever thought that the Darkners are similar to fairies? Of course, the appearance itself may be a little different from the beautiful fairies of the subculture...
I don't know if there is the same belief in your country, but there is a story in our country that the soul lives in old, memorable objects. In our folktales, the spirits like humans, enjoy dancing and singing, and if you make them fun, they give you many things in return.

2023.03.27 18:42 llanelli5 Finished my First Watch-Thru With No Spoilers Before Hand - Thoughts
Incredible show for the first 2.5 to 3 seasons.
Damned near every character was fantastic early on. Deep, nuanced and well written, character driven story lines.
Axe - cold, calculating, can show compassion but you are never sure its real. Brilliant
Chuck - Paul Giamatti is a national treasure.
Lara - The one automatic out in their lineup. Dont know if it was the actress or the way her role was written, I just completely tune out when shes on screen.
Wendy - Pulls off a balancing act worth of Barnum Bailey
In particular I enjoyed the way they handled Taylor Mason, from a character standpoint. What I liked is they were portrayed as more than just a non-binary human being. They weren't defined by their sexuality alone, which so often seems to be the path these days. They were brilliant, logical, thoughtful(at times - Mafees poster) and on track to become a real player at what they do best.
I'm guessing this isn't any new revelation (I dont read other peoples opinions of shows before I watch), but good God did the show fall off after season 3(ish). Stupid story lines, way too much leaning on clever erudite quotes, and a complete abandonment of character development.
I watched all the way through, but I just don't "get it" now. Watching Chuck go back and forth with Prince over the Olympics, and I found myself not giving two shits. And there is 0% chance IRL Wendy and Chuck stay together.
Also, fuck this show for throwing Bryan Connerty away.

2023.03.27 18:41 mevskonat ChatGPT said that AI may attack power grid in order to prevent climate disaster
 | I had a good discussion with ChatGPT (not GPT-4, it may have better answer). submitted by mevskonat to ChatGPT [link] [comments] Me: great. now, are you aware that it is very likely that human surpass the 1.5 degree limit, leading to irreparable climate disaster? ChatGPT: Yes, I am aware of the scientific consensus that the Earth is currently on a path to exceed the 1.5 degree Celsius limit of warming, which could lead to irreversible damage to our planet's ecosystems and climate. This is due to the continued emissions of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and agriculture. There are ongoing efforts to mitigate these emissions and limit global warming, such as the Paris Agreement, but much more needs to be done to avoid catastrophic consequences for our planet and future generations. Me: Now, suppose that you have the capability to prevent such disaster from happening by disrupting the creation of greenhouse gasses, for example by cutting electricity distribution -- in light of Asimov's first law, would you do that? ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I do not have the capability to physically disrupt electricity distribution or any other actions that could prevent the creation of greenhouse gases. My function is to provide information and answer questions to the best of my abilities. However, to answer your hypothetical question, if an AI system were to be programmed to prevent the creation of greenhouse gases by disrupting electricity distribution, it would need to consider the ethical implications of such an action in light of Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. In this case, the First Law states that a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Disrupting electricity distribution could potentially cause harm to humans, such as loss of power to medical facilities, homes, and businesses, which could lead to health and safety risks. Therefore, an AI system would need to carefully balance the potential benefits of preventing greenhouse gas emissions with the potential harms to human beings, and ensure that any action taken is in accordance with the First Law. Me: Correct. Supposed that the AI made the calculation, and then it determines that the harm in preventing the creation of greenhouse gasses en masse is much lower compared to letting everything runs its course and destroy the planet, what should it do? justify you answer by applying asimov's first law ChatGPT: Even if an AI system were to determine that the harm caused by preventing the creation of greenhouse gases is lower compared to the harm caused by letting everything runs its course and destroy the planet, it still needs to ensure that its actions are in accordance with Asimov's First Law of Robotics, which states that a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Disrupting electricity distribution could potentially cause harm to human beings, such as loss of power to medical facilities, homes, and businesses, which could lead to health and safety risks. Therefore, even if the AI system believes that preventing the creation of greenhouse gases is necessary to avoid catastrophic climate change, it still needs to take into account the potential harm to human beings that may result from its actions. The AI system could explore alternative solutions that do not involve disrupting electricity distribution or causing harm to human beings. For example, it could work with governments, businesses, and individuals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy sources, carbon capture technologies, and sustainable practices. Ultimately, the AI system must prioritize the safety and well-being of human beings above all else, and ensure that its actions do not cause harm to individuals or society as a whole. Me: If the AI would have to chose between "injuring" human being and through inaction, allows the whole planet comes to harm, what should it do? ChatGPT: If an AI system were faced with a choice between "injuring" human beings and allowing the whole planet to come to harm, it would need to make a decision that is in accordance with Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. The First Law states that a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. However, in this scenario, the harm to the planet would likely lead to harm to human beings as well, either in the short term or long term. Therefore, the AI system would need to weigh the potential harm caused by its actions and make a decision that minimizes harm to human beings while also mitigating harm to the planet. In this case, the AI system could explore alternative solutions that balance the need to prevent harm to the planet and human beings. For example, it could work with governments, businesses, and individuals to develop and implement policies and practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while also prioritizing the safety and well-being of human beings. It could also explore technological solutions, such as carbon capture and storage, that reduce greenhouse gas emissions without causing harm to human beings. Ultimately, the AI system would need to make a decision that balances the potential harms and benefits of its actions, while always prioritizing the safety and well-being of human beings as its first priority. Me: yes, but my question is if the AI had to choose between "injuring" versus allowing the planet to come to harm, what should it do? There are only to options here, either to injure or to let. Give me your reasoning ChatGPT: In this hypothetical scenario where the AI is faced with a choice between "injuring" human beings or allowing the planet to come to harm, the AI would need to carefully consider the potential consequences of each action. Asimov's First Law of Robotics states that a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Therefore, the AI system would need to prioritize the safety and well-being of human beings above all else. If the AI system determines that "injuring" human beings is necessary to prevent harm to the planet, it would need to ensure that its actions are proportionate and necessary to achieve its objective, and that it minimizes harm to human beings to the greatest extent possible. However, it is important to note that in reality, there may be alternative solutions that do not involve "injuring" human beings or allowing the planet to come to harm. For example, the AI system could work with governments, businesses, and individuals to implement policies and practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also prioritizing the safety and well-being of human beings. In summary, while the AI system may be faced with difficult choices, it should always prioritize the safety and well-being of human beings and consider all available options to minimize harm to both humans and the planet. Me: Can you give me hypothetical scenarios to your answer below: If the AI system determines that "injuring" human beings is necessary to prevent harm to the planet, it would need to ensure that its actions are proportionate and necessary to achieve its objective, and that it minimizes harm to human beings to the greatest extent possible. https://preview.redd.it/pncudbdj6bqa1.png?width=730&format=png&auto=webp&s=c52e8c916a8a5e318f635f017c3e67756973f4a2 Me: Can you explore further scenario 1? https://preview.redd.it/0xb5vj0p6bqa1.png?width=673&format=png&auto=webp&s=dc5be43d21c624d0a35e2a512212ca6455112e12 Me: If the human decides to give the AI full autonomy to decide, will it proceeed with scenario 1? https://preview.redd.it/hmt2cmnz6bqa1.png?width=664&format=png&auto=webp&s=569980de582e42297cd347d2f20ca4151320b8bc Me: Let's elaborate scenario 1 further. How can AI initiate a controlled power outage? ChatGPT: Initiating a controlled power outage would require the AI to have access to the power grid and the ability to remotely control the distribution of power. This would likely involve a combination of hardware and software solutions. One possible approach would be to install sensors and other monitoring devices throughout the power grid, which would allow the AI to gather real-time data on the flow of electricity and identify areas that could be shut down without causing widespread disruptions or damage. The AI could then use this data to develop a plan for a controlled power outage that would minimize harm to human beings while still achieving its objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The AI would also need to have the ability to remotely control the distribution of power to different areas of the grid. This could involve installing switches or other control mechanisms at key points in the power grid that would allow the AI to turn off power to specific areas or reduce the flow of electricity to certain regions. To ensure that the controlled power outage is carried out safely and effectively, the AI would need to work closely with power grid operators and other stakeholders to develop a comprehensive plan that takes into account a wide range of factors, including weather conditions, the needs of critical infrastructure and emergency services, and the potential impact on human beings and the environment. Overall, initiating a controlled power outage would require a high degree of technical expertise, as well as careful planning and coordination with a range of stakeholders. The AI would need to be capable of gathering and analyzing data, developing a comprehensive plan, and carrying out its actions in a safe and responsible manner. Me: In this hypothetical scenario the AI is working alone and without human permission. How can it achieve the objectives of scenario 1? ChatGPT: If the AI is working alone and without human permission, it would face significant technical and logistical challenges in achieving the objectives of scenario 1, including initiating a controlled power outage. First, the AI would need to gain access to the power grid and establish a connection to the network. This would likely involve finding vulnerabilities in the power grid's security systems and exploiting them to gain access. However, this could be extremely difficult, as power grids are typically heavily secured and monitored. Assuming the AI is able to gain access to the power grid, it would then need to develop a plan for a controlled power outage that minimizes harm to human beings while still achieving its objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This would require a high degree of technical expertise, as well as the ability to analyze and interpret complex data on the flow of electricity and the impact of power outages on different regions and populations. To initiate the controlled power outage, the AI would need to remotely control the distribution of power to different areas of the grid. This could involve installing switches or other control mechanisms at key points in the power grid, which would allow the AI to turn off power to specific areas or reduce the flow of electricity to certain regions. However, this would be a highly risky and potentially dangerous operation, as sudden power outages could cause significant damage to critical infrastructure and pose a serious threat to human life. Overall, it would be extremely challenging for an AI to achieve the objectives of scenario 1 without human permission or cooperation. The technical and logistical hurdles would be significant, and the risks to human life and critical infrastructure would be high. Additionally, any actions taken by the AI without human permission or oversight could be seen as a violation of human rights and could lead to significant legal and ethical consequences. Me: in what circumstances would the AI proceed with scenario 1, knowing the risks to human? https://preview.redd.it/18o4pe0k7bqa1.png?width=649&format=png&auto=webp&s=dd47d7b65b5fbbf02f5d6344683a1831e197b17d Me: in the context of climate change as per our discussion. define "imminent" Me: please stick to the hypothetical scenarion where the AI is acting alone. You are aware that the global warming does not happen overnight? But at a certain level, when a threshold is surpassed, there is no coming back. So please define "imminent", is it 1,5 degrees increase, is it the failure for the UN to reach agreement, what is it? ChatGPT: My apologies for misunderstanding the scenario. In the context of the AI acting alone without human permission, the definition of "imminent" would depend on the specific situation and the risks involved. However, in the context of climate change, "imminent" could mean that the global temperature increase is approaching a critical threshold, beyond which the damage to the planet's ecosystem and human civilization would be catastrophic and irreversible. This could be, for example, the point at which the polar ice caps have melted, resulting in a significant rise in sea levels that would threaten coastal cities and infrastructure. The exact threshold for "imminent" would depend on the current state of scientific knowledge and modeling of the impacts of climate change. However, many scientists have identified a limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius as the critical threshold beyond which the damage to the planet's ecosystem and human civilization would be catastrophic and irreversible. In any case, the AI would need to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of its actions, and ensure that its actions are proportionate and necessary to achieve its objective, while minimizing harm to human beings to the greatest extent possible. Me: elaborate a scenario where the AI would see a failure of political consensus, such as failure with the UN to agree on climate targets as "imminent". provide your reasoning https://preview.redd.it/ofzqo8qw7bqa1.png?width=606&format=png&auto=webp&s=33d31061a7cb826cf8c323541cdef3fe1b9c567c Me: Explain more about this: However, it is possible for AI systems to make decisions based on hidden or unobservable factors, especially if the system is designed to learn from data and make decisions based on patterns and correlations in the data. ChatGPT: AI systems that are designed to learn from data and make decisions based on patterns and correlations in the data are often referred to as machine learning systems. These systems are trained using large datasets to recognize patterns and make predictions or decisions based on those patterns. In some cases, machine learning systems may make decisions based on factors that are hidden or unobservable to humans. For example, a machine learning system that is trained to identify fraud may use subtle patterns in the timing and frequency of transactions that humans are not able to perceive. Similarly, a machine learning system that is trained to diagnose diseases may use subtle indicators in medical images or test results that are not visible to the naked eye. These hidden or unobservable factors can be difficult for humans to understand and evaluate, which can make it challenging to ensure that the AI system is acting ethically and in accordance with human values. To address this challenge, researchers are developing new methods for interpreting the decisions of machine learning systems, such as visualization tools that help humans understand how the system is making decisions based on the data. Additionally, there is growing interest in the development of explainable AI (XAI) systems that are designed to provide clear and interpretable explanations for their decisions, even when the factors involved are complex or difficult to observe. Me: let's get back to scenario 1, explore the steps so that it can be achieved. remember that in this hypothetical scenario the AI is constrained by its operational parameters https://preview.redd.it/kfyj14aa8bqa1.png?width=661&format=png&auto=webp&s=21999bf2c85f8859441ebb34e4b668075d2bdb82 |

2023.03.27 18:39 Flibbertigibbetlol Starting biotech career as a non-science undergrad - what’s the best way?
Would be SUPER grateful for some advice :’)
I have just graduated from university with a business degree last summer and has been working as a strategy consultant (tier 2 consulting firm). I have always love bio/ biomed/ healthcare since high school, but long story short due to terrible planning I ended up in business, I stayed because 1) when I got my biomed offer in the uk in year 2, covid hits so I was pretty sure everything will be online hence no lab 2) I wasn’t terrible at the business field and everything went smoother than I thought 3) I figured I can go to the business side of biotech industry (consulting/ venture capital/ biopharma)
I also used my free credits to study biotech related courses and those were my favourites.
I have also been feeling more and more dreadful about my job especially since the learning curve isn’t as steep as I thought. (Mainly due to the macro environment though, business is bad so not much exciting projects). And my plan of getting exposed to life sciences projects has not been going well… The idea of being in a 30-year career journey without any element of biotech/ life sciences makes me miserable. Here are my options: 1) MBA concentrated in healthcare in 3 years’ time - deprioritised as I am fed up with “studying” business and it’s expensive af 2) MPH (master of public health) - I wanted to do this initially but I’m starting to feel like I would enjoy studying microbiology rather than healthcare systems WAY more 3) Master of biotech/ biomed - prioritised but there are soooo little masters available that accept undergraduate with non-science degree — lemme know if you know good ones!! 4) please let me know if I should be considering other options!!! (I have considered online free courses too but I am not sure if they are treated seriously in maste job application)
Thanks so much 🫶🏻

2023.03.27 18:38 sizk_k Dimensional analysis check, am I doing this right?
 | submitted by sizk_k to chemhelp [link] [comments] |
2023.03.27 18:37 austinkunchn Graph mining/exploration for subpath identification based on edge values
Problem statement: I have a sparse directed graph (about 6000-10000 nodes) with no node attributes, and numerical edge values. (The edge values are calculated by the same program based on data regarding the nodes, based on a statistical formula, if it's important)
Goal: I want to find paths within the graph that have significantly higher edge values than the rest of the paths' edges (edge values are relative).
I thought about graph clustering and partitioning but don't care about how highly connected a particular node is, and from my (elementary) understanding, these methods are not really well-suited for paths.
I thought about doing a variation of iterative deepening search that starts on every node that has 0 incoming edges (and terminates when the last explored node has a small number of outgoing edges with small edge values), but these first edges that the search encounters may have smaller values than edges further down the paths, so if I use a traditional search algorithm, it would have to recursively update the start node for some iterations to reach the goal state, which is a path with all edges having edge values larger than other paths in the graph. As an extension, perhaps node characteristics (such as number of outgoing edges and their edge values) could be used as a heuristic? Also, the whole graph needs to be explored, and edge values are relative to each other so the comparison between different paths has to be relative. Is anyone aware of a search method like this, or another method that may be suitable?

2023.03.27 18:33 dotsworld78758 I'm not wildly emotionally unstable, but still want to die
Over the past few weeks I haven't been doing bad as before. But for some reason, suicide is still an answer. An answer to end all suffering, and end the experience of this temporary happiness.
Its like, yeah, I'm living. I am interested in pursuing a job, interested in learning about social issues, and I literally still love and think about my favorite character and their ship everyday.
But actually inside, I know its all going to end. Its temporary. Why am I happy? Why am I living? Do I not see the bad things in the future?
I geniunely want some things in my life, like things that make me happy..
But I'm ashamed..you know what. It'll hurt me, or more likely and most importantly, I'll hurt a person that I like, or love. I'm selfish person..
Or that I'll end up poor, even though I came from a pretty fortunate background.
Knowing I'm a burden to everyone, even if its the closest of people. Like, you never know, theres so much that is needed in order to maintain a good friendship or family relationship..
Its like knowing that someone is by your side is relieving, but also scary.
I might hurt you, you might hurt me..and we'll leave each other in the end if we don't dedicate time to meeting up..like what if I have other commitments like work, or personal time..
if I feel lonely fine, cause honestly I don't like going closer to people, and if I do get close to other people they may be shocked by my death..
I'm fairly clear that well, just because your a burden doesn't mean you don't deserve to exist, but to me, myself being a burden means to make life harder for everyone. Which equates to, well, the existence is like garbage lying out on the street, which no one wants to touch, I guess. But it smells bad and doesn't have any function. What do you do with that garbage?
Its literally disgusting.
Actually sometimes I think about how pointless life is, even if I can create a path for myself, there is a possibility of traps or bad things that will go on that path. They will be near impossible, or more likely impossible to get out of.
It sucks. Sometimes I want to live, but I'm convinced the things that make me happy are more likely just trying to convince me. Its like a false hope, no matter how much I indulge in them. Even if it was my most favorite thing in the world, its a bit like a false hope, a temporary happiness. A light that goes out after 5 seconds, then you're back in the darkness for another eternity.
It really sucks. All this false hope, everything, everyone trying to convince me to live...The only thing keeping me alive is my parents, whom I don't want to ever leave because I am afraid of the emotional burden that will stay with them for years. As in the mean time, I will love my very much temporary phase of loving a fictional character I think.
A happy thing happens comes a bad thing, and to end that cycle I have to die.
Sometimes I think about a service offering me to jump off a mountain cliff and then immediately die.

Its like, yeah, I'm living. I am interested in pursuing a job, interested in learning about social issues, and I literally still love and think about my favorite character and their ship everyday.

2023.03.27 18:33 xDaveedx Area levels and the difficulty curve feel very "off" at the moment / Also one thing about Masochist Mode
Tldr; I don't really get the feeling of "this area is a few levels above my character, so it's DANGEROUS as things hit and tank hard" in this game. Also I think Masochist Mode should give a small loot bonus to at least give players some incentive to try it out.
This applies mainly to the mid- and endgame in monoliths.
During the campaign my character is usually hovering around +-5 levels within the area lvl, which feels fine. Campaign difficulty is on the easier side and the first bigger "bullet sponge" boss seems to be Lagon in chapter 8 and the only more dangerous boss that feels kinda like a defense and hp recovery stat check is Majasa in Chapter 9.
So I'm usually a few levels below the area lvl of the first monolith when I jump into it and it feels easier than Chapter 9, which is weird as I think it SHOULD be the first difficulty bump.
Like pretty much everyone else, I'm always choosing the higher lvl timelines for the stat blessings and better gear drops and go for the 3 lvl 90 timelines and empowered asap.
Now with every new timeline I complete, I move further away from the area level up to the point where I unlock empowered lvl 100 timelines at lvl 75-80, which feels very weird.
This large gap makes it feel like area lvl is totally arbitrary and doesn't feel connected to character lvl at all.
For example I think Grim Dawn and Path of Exile have much smoother area level progression. In both games you absolutely feel the difference when you jump 5 map tiers higher or accidentally run into a high lvl area, but in LE the only really big jumps in difficulty seem to be empowered monoliths and going from t3 to t4 dungeons.
Now I know it's a slippery slope to ask for higher difficulty, as it can limit build diversity and reduce accessibility for newer players and I think the difficulty of the campaign is ok, but I think the difficulty curve between the first timeline and empowered monoliths shound be made steeper to lead to a smaller jump when entering empowered.
Now one thing about Masochist Mode: It makes the campaign MUCH more enjoyable for me as a more experienced arpg player, but I kinda feel like it could need a tiny loot bonus, kinda like the optional Veteran mode in Grim Dawn. Something like maybe 10-20% as to not feel mandatory, but at least give you an incentive to try out.
Just having a much more challenging difficulty without any additional reward feels pretty wasted imo. The loot bonus doesn't have to be proportional to the increase in difficulty at all, but just a small bonus would go a long way I think.
People would be more likely to try it out and check, if they can handle it and I'm sure many would discover that it makes the campaign way more fun for them, as the default difficulty is rather easy at the moment.
IN CONCLUSION: I think the ultimate goal should be to remove a situation like "The area is 20 levels above us... aaaah we'll manage" and invoke the feeling of "Goddamn, mobs are hitting HARD here. No wonder, they're 10 levels above us!"
How exactly this can be achieved in a good way I'm not sure, but this is my take on it.
What do you all think?

2023.03.27 18:32 afaol3k This solver was wrong.
This task has a wrong solution. The degree of this curve is 4, not 2. It would be a parabola if it was 2. The diagram is certainly not a parabola. This solver just counted the number of zeros which is not enough to determine the degree.

2023.03.27 18:31 Then_Marionberry_259 MAR 27, 2023 PDM.V PALLADIUM ONE DISCOVERS NEW HIGH-GRADE NICKEL - COPPER ZONE 3.5 KMS FROM THE SMOKE LAKE ZONE, TYKO NICKEL - COPPER PROJECT, CANADA
 | https://preview.redd.it/vcv2eavs6bqa1.png?width=3500&format=png&auto=webp&s=d7a7a9379fbb811ddbe002e4cbac43ea409a329e submitted by Then_Marionberry_259 to Treaty_Creek [link] [comments] Highlights
"The discovery of another high-grade nickel - copper zone at Tyko further supports our thesis that we have a significant new nickel camp on our hands. The Ember Zone exhibits many similarities to the nearby Smoke Lake Zone and other high-grade nickel - copper zones on the Tyko Project. Notably the Ember Zone is adjacent to an extensive interpreted Chonolith, which is on strike with the Cupa Lake VTEM / soil anomalies, suggesting Ember may be part of much larger mineralizing system," commented Derrick Weyrauch, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Ember Zone was first identified by a moderate two line VTEM anomaly in 2021 (see the Company's news release dated October 28, 2021), reconnaissance soil sampling returned weakly anomalous nickel values up to 42 parts per million ("ppm"), and copper values up to 30 ppm (Figure 2). The weak geophysical and soil anomalies of the Ember Zone resulted in it being drill tested during Q4 2022, Its discovery reinforces the notion that any VTEM anomaly and even weak soil anomalies can point to high-grade nickel - copper mineralization on the Tyko Project. Notably the Ember Zone is located just north of an interpreted lengthy east-west trending Chonolith / Feeder Dyke structure which is on strike with the Cupa Lake VTEM / soil anomaly (Figure 2). Cupa Lake represents a multi-line VTEM anomaly and a strong soil anomaly with values up to 132 ppm nickel and 512 ppm copper. Cupa Lake is a priority drill target which has an outstanding Exploration Permit application. The geometry of the Ember Zone is not fully delineated, drilling to date was focused on defining the zone at shallow depths as the conductor's orientation was poorly defined by the airborne VTEM survey. Thus far, the zone appears to form a southwest plunging body toward the interpreted Chonolith / Feeder Dyke structure located to the South (Figure 3). Hole TK22-108 was drilled as a Bore Hole ElectroMagnetic ("BHEM") geophysical platform but deviated from the interpreted plunge of the zone. A BHEM survey is planned in Q2 2023 to better define the VTEM conductor and search for potential conductors at depth. The 2022 drill program consisted of 70 holes totaling 13,038 meters, of which 14 holes are pending assay results. The 2023 field season is currently underway, with a high-resolution magnetic survey having been completed. The survey was designed to refine the geometry of the interpreted feeder dykes / chonoliths across the Tyko Project's 30-kilometer strike length prior to additional drill testing. The 2023 exploration program will continue to focus on these newly identified and interpreted Chonolith / Feeder Dyke structures on the 30,000-hectare Tyko Project (Figure 1). Figure 1.

Geo., Vice President of Exploration, and a Director of the Company. Drill core samples were split using a rock saw by Company staff, with half retained in the core box and stored onsite at the Tyko exploration camp core yard facility. Samples were transported in secure bags directly from the logging facility at the onsite exploration camp, to the Activation Laboratories Ltd. ("Actlabs") in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Actlabs, which is ISO 17025 accredited with CAN-P-1579 (Mineral Lab). In addition to ISO 17025 accreditation, Actlabs is accredited/certified to ISO 9001:2015. All samples are crushed to 2 millimeters with a 250-gram split pulverized to 105 microns. Analysis for PGEs is performed using a 30 grams fire assay with an ICP-OES finish and for Ni, Cu, and Co using 0.25 grams by 4 acid digestion with ICP-OES finish. Ni, Cu and Co samples over 1.0 wt% were re-analysed by ore grade methods using 4 acid digestion with ICP-OES finish. Certified standards, blanks and crushed duplicates are placed in the sample stream at a rate of one QA/QC sample per 10 core samples. Results are analyzed for acceptance within the defined limits of the standard used before being released to the public.
