  1. Yes, they have found another way.
  2. A capital letter has been cut from a sheet of paper and given a single fold: What letter is it? It could be, but is not an L.
  3. Yes, in about 8 years. Nice, but would be more important for a younger person. This is a consideration. Maybe I should just buy batteries and keep them charged from the grid?
  4. I wish. Maybe when I grow up... The glockenspiel is a good accompaniment to the song playing in my head.
  5. OK! Do you want to try the same problem but with three bugs in the corners of equilateral triangle? Six bugs in the corners of equilateral hexagon? Just for practice
  6. Learning to play (a simplified version of) it on my glockenspiel.
  7. Spiraling like this:
  8. Only from reading technical literature and from playing with it online. I've retired before DNN was invented. Here is a basic description of its mathematical structure: At least that goal of AI has been achieved.
  9. Yes, it is very easily confused.
  10. IMO, it's just a run, calculation of the function for the question as an input. When the same question is asked again in the same session, its previous answer marked as 'not good' is added to the input, and the function is calculated again. And so on. If you start a new session and ask the same question, a different subset of the function is calculated for the same initial input as in the other session.
  11. I don't think so. I think that it never calculates the full DNN function (too big), but rather each time a random subset of it.
  12. It sounds as if one could calculate the movement of mass / energy, and then use it to calculate the spacetime geometry. But I don't think it is generally possible. The movement of mass / energy depends on the spacetime geometry, and one cannot calculate the former without the latter. I think that the equality between Einstein tensor and stress-energy tensor dictates the spacetime geometry, i.e., the spacetime geometry is dictated by the equation rather than by its parts. IOW, the spacetime geometry is such that it makes these two parts equal.
  13. I've noticed another old puzzle that reminded me the puzzle in the OP. The solution is unique.
  14. Correct. +1
  15. This is an important reason. But it is somewhat reduced here, because about half of the electricity on the island is already produced by wind, and they plan to keep installing more turbines. Yes, it would be fun.
  16. No, it is not.
  17. I am receiving offers for solar panels and various configurations, with and without batteries. To make a decision I need to have a clear reason, why would I go for it. What are the possible reasons?
  18. ...should not you be on Kremlin by now.. ? They don't pay well enough.
  19. Yes, to all three points above.
  20. (Playing devil's advocate) If you keep asking the bot the same question it keeps giving different answers. It goes somewhere else every time.
  21. This is how I'd solve it. When three sides of the triangle are known, its area is given by Heron's formula. OTOH, with the semicircle as described in the OP, its area is r(b+c)/2. Equate the two and find r from the equation. Sine of an angle between sides a and b can be found from the equation, Area = ab sinC / 2. The distance from the vertex to the circle center, x = r/sinC.
