When I was teaching AP Calc last year I gave a take home test with an ODE on it. This one group of kids (all of whom were already failing) handed in identical tests where they all used Runge-Kutta to solve a separable ODE and reported me to admin when I asked them to replicate it

this quotes a very concerning thread

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:51 PM general

Leg if anything this sucks for you and I more than future generations because we have to fight people who actually know what they were doing to get positions

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:51 PM general

There will always be 5-10% of people who actually give a shit, and those people are going to be pretty set once standards testing is modified to deal with the bulk of people who have degrees with zero skills

legorhin May 8, 2025 8:52 PM general

schools need to hard switch back to strictly in class closed book hand written exams

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:52 PM general

Are they not doing that

legorhin May 8, 2025 8:52 PM general

if they are they need to keep doing it

legorhin May 8, 2025 8:53 PM general

to the most of phijkchu that doesn't know what Runge-Kutta is, you shouldn't (unless you do high level STEM stuff)

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:53 PM general

I mean, its just a numerical method for solving ODEs

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:54 PM general

which is why AI spits that out as how to do it when you ask

legorhin May 8, 2025 8:54 PM general

when did you learn it? I didn't get it until grad school

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:54 PM general

Physics based coding course that was a requirement for my math phys degree

legorhin May 8, 2025 8:54 PM general

oh that makes sense

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:54 PM general

and it was relevant in my stars course, although it was not taught

legorhin May 8, 2025 8:55 PM general

its not something high schoolers should know unless maybe they are in some really specialized math oriented school

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:55 PM general

I also did a grad level numerical PDEs course, but thats not runge-kutta

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:56 PM general

I can see a 1st order runge-kutta being known by some computer nerd in highschool

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:56 PM general

its not that complicated

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:56 PM general

the shit we had to do for my stars course (4th order) though

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:57 PM general

Oh apparently 1st order is just Eulers-method, I meant second order for what highschool students could possibly know

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:57 PM general

I had to do Eulers method by hand in highschool

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:59 PM general

Anyways, based purely on grading

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 8, 2025 8:59 PM general

the future is fucking doomed

to the most of phijkchu that doesn't know what Runge-Kutta is, you shouldn't (unless you do high level STEM stuff)

Can confirm, no idea what this is

legorhin May 8, 2025 9:19 PM general

its mostly used for physics modeling and isn't something you would ever really be expected to do by hand unless you are in a numerical analysis course

legorhin May 8, 2025 9:19 PM general

(I might have had to, i forget)

A Search for Planet Nine with IRAS and AKARI Data

The outer solar system is theoretically predicted to harbour an undiscovered planet, often referred to as P9. Simulations suggest that its gravitational influence could explain the unusual clustering of minor bodies in the Kuiper Belt. However, no observational evidence for P9 has been found so far, as its predicted orbit lies far beyond Neptune...

For some reason i have this stupid annoying horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of my screen whenever i'm in a fullscreen youtube video now

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 9, 2025 11:09 AM general

oh that

Phijkchu_Pikachu May 9, 2025 11:10 AM general

I get that sometimes when the video was recorded in a weird resolution

legorhin May 9, 2025 11:13 AM general

zoom out the youtube page maybe

Does anyone have any suggestions for an ebook reader for Linux?

Garbage May 12, 2025 12:17 AM general

I like Calibre, I believe that one supports linux

Spooky Phijkchu May 12, 2025 12:20 AM general

Calibre or Koodoo, but I don't have a real opinion on ebook readers, I just DL mine as pdfs and usually read on mobile anyway

Spooky Phijkchu May 13, 2025 12:17 AM general

Happy birthday @Jaz

unironically i know a guy in south Africa

heir May 13, 2025 10:22 AM general

he speaks English well

heir May 13, 2025 10:22 AM general

i could ask him to
