Physics on account of exotic entities like black holes. Astrophysics is known as an exotic hard science, as is Cosmology. They just sound cool on the lonesome there of. Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics and Chemical Physics and Subatomic Physics just sound cool also. Muons, gluons, quarks, and the like also sound good. I do not know why, probably because I know more about it, but I believe Physics has more pizzazz than mathematics.

Why not get into time travel? The good thing is the subject is an iceberg, on the surface it looks like a small subject but the majority is underneath.

Not only will you look autistic but everyone else will feel retarded. Double-win!

Theoretical mathematics is just people jerking off to fictional concepts that they made up on their own;
instead of trying to understand reality, they instead make classifications of abnormal phenomenons and then call it concept A and then just call it a day. Sure, it sounds smart but it's ultimately just retarded.

Physics is less so because there are actual practical elements in said field. But the theoretical mathematics syndrome is slowly creeping into the field so it's becoming another retarded field.

Which is why more people are more into engineering than just pure physics these days. Even though the latter was much more interesting.

Self-contradiction. It was about dalits.

>There are some smart people from India but this racist behavior has to go.
You can be both smart and a castist.

No wait, I might have misspoken my second part:
https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/predicative+topos

That being said, I still stand by my point that I wouldn't want to work in any set theory without a set of functions between any two sets.

>>17837
I don't buy this argument
consider a finite set {1,2}
then 1 is in {1} {1,2} and not in {2} {null}
and 2 is in {2} {1,2} and not in {1} {null}
The powersets are generated by the elements of the set.
This is like saying that there is no vector space basis of primes (2,0...)x1+(0,3,...)x2+(0,0,5,...)x3+... = v = (2,3,5,7,...)

Do go on.

You mean technical schematics, sorry but those are classified.

Now Chernobyl, that's another thing, there's plenty of technical schematics floating around because it's totted as a "what not to do".

Oops. LOL. No KNOWN primes longer than 83 million bits.

A little off-topic, but if you guys like extremely huge (finite) numbers, check out this youtube playlist:

Thanks! :-)

I have been told this site is quite useful for math and engineering students.

after the understanding of pemdas. the best thing you can do is MEMORIZE identities/ where identities are coins, the coins being equations, and the faces the sides. these dualities can exist in flux while the parts are in place. after you memorize these you must cement them in your mind... for they are the math you seek to understand.

its unpleasant but math is a language of intuition. and probably the hardest to grasp.

>IQ is used as a measure of intelligence by psychiatrists and clinical psychologists across all ages
Considering it has zero purpose but to classify and label people (you can't improve your IQ), knowing it doesn't help adults do anything. It would be like saying that a person's fingerprints are "used" by psychiatrists and psychologists. They are not, and IQ is not.

>>17462
It helps inform public policy decisions, and may be used by high IQs to interact with low IQs in such a way that they benefit from the exchange.
It is far easier to push oppressive policies on a segment of the population that literally lacks the capability for coherent thought.

Everyone know the gap exists and that race plays a role, it's just that no one wants to get Watsoned

Oh! You mean you include in each message the input to the hash in the previous message. Sorry, I misunderstood. What you're referring to is known as proof of knowledge.

>Also, blockchains have consensus mechanisms such as PoS, FBA and PoW.
A blockchain is merely a data structure where each block is linked to the previous block (or some number of blocks) via a hash. It does not imply a distributed system. Even if there is a distributed system, the consensus algorithm can be as simple as "whatever the authoritative source says", which is pretty much how Git is typically used.

>>17579
>I said prove authenticity "given the authenticity of the first", not absolutely.
If that's all the assurance you want, you could also include your ECDSA public key in the first message and the signature for each subsequent message. Then you wouldn't need to keep track of which secret message you used as input to the previous hash.
Needless to say, neither method protects you if the site's operator decides to rewrite you messages.

>All in all, it seems like a pretty useless protocol compared to something like RSA or Lamport signatures. Oh well, it might end up being useful as part of something else, or in a different form.
Well, you're just using it wrong, I'd say. Proofs of knowledge are typically used to prove that you had a piece of information at an earlier time that you decide to disclose that information. For example, you might make public a hash predicting that the stock market will crash this week, and after it crashes you make public that information, which should hash into the previous hash.

I've heard of proofs of knowledge. Though I dont think I've heard of them by that name.

> you could just use ECDSA
How fast is it to generate an ECDSA keypair and sign messages? IIRC RSA is slow compared to this scheme.

IIRC, almost all naturals less than 2^256 are valid Secp256k1 private keys, so picking a private key is just a matter of getting a few random bits. I think there were exactly two points on the curve that were unusable; one was an inflection point with only a single solution to the equation and the other's tangent was vertical.
Other curves may work differently, although I think all ECDSA curves are more or less the same with only the coefficients changing. As I recall, Curve25519's curve is somewhat different.

Signing a message with ECDSA is faster than RSA, but slower than getting a SHA-256 digest, because the process involves hashing the message. In particular, Secp256k1 uses SHA-256.
