[@berserker8884]

@@vt_hikaru mathematicians are usually very underrated contributers to konwledge and research. Math is usually a hated subject, even though one could argue it is the single most important area of resrach in history. A good start IMHO is to watch Veritasium's video titled "Math Has a Fatal Flaw". It is a bit click baity, but good quality nontheless. What I will showcase below is explained very well in the video in great detail, superb visuals and easy to understand explanations! I highly recommend it! TL;DR: Turing invented the modern notion of a programmable computer which can perform general algorithms. He did all that to solve an abstract problem in mathematics! Before that, computers were always designed for specific computational tasks. Here is a little something about Turing(sorry for the long comment. I'm very passionate about this if you couldn't tell haha. Hope someone reads this. Anyways, Veritasium's video is much much better, so go watch that): David HIlbert, one of the giants of mathematics, very comparable to Einstein in achievement in his own field, published 23 problems in 1900, of which he instroduced 10 at a Paris conference. These were some of the most legendary unsolved problems in mathematics. Hilbert had the vision that mathematics has to be "perfect". To him it is the only truly clean subject we have, the only piece of knowledge if you will, which we can be perfectly sure about and understand completely. Therefore he introduced three conjectures: 1. mathematics is complete: this means that everything in math that happens to be true can also be proven to be true in the same context! Seems very intuitive right? Kurt Godel shook the world with his proof that this is actually false! 2. mathematics is consistent: this means that the math(the formal system we are working with. This is usually the axiomatic system of ZFC, which is the foundation of modern set theory) doesn't have any inherent contradicitons. So two contradictory things cannot be true at the same time. Again, Godel proved something interesting here. Godel showed that if a formal system can prove its own consitency, then it is necessarily inconsistent! Don't worry if this breaks your brain. Watch the video. 3. mathematics is decidable. This roughly means that we always have an effective procedure to decide whether a sentence has a proof or does not. Basically do we have an algorithm that will determine if a given sentence or its negation can be proven or not. This is actually different from completeness, but requires some nuance and rigor to see why. Don't worry about it. Here comes Turing in. He was fascinated by this problem and wanted to solve it. Basically he was the person who figured out what "effective procedure" could formally mean. He came up with algorithms! But there was a problem. How do you remove the human perspective from all of this? How do you "encode" all of this in rigorous mathematics? Well he got the idea by observing the "computers". Computers of the time were people who would get the instrucitons what to do written on paper and then would do the computations that they were given. Turing got the idea that he could use the same "piece of paper" that is used for calculations to also prepare the instructions themselves! So he came up with this idea: take an infinate tape with 1s and 0s. Then have a little machine that can move left and right on the tape and that can read and write the 1s and 0s. Here was the key genius! Instead of the machine having its own mind and understanding, he figured, just like with human computers, the little machine could receive its instructions from the tape itself! So he developed what we now call Turing Machines, i.e. computers! The machine itself has the internal "logic" that is premade. The thing is, this internal logic is NOT some super complex thing, BUT follows a few very specific rules that are true for ALL Turing machines. Using these machines he was able to solve the problem! Mathematics is NOT decidable! However, this idea of turing machines is at the cornerstone of all computer sicence. If not for Turing, it is possible that computers today would be just these computational devices for only very specific tasks, but now a single computer can perform incredible general tasks. In fact, Turing Machines are the perfect computers, in the sense that anything we are currently able to do and make is at best a turing machine!(Yes we have more general theratical ideas, like supertasks and quantum computes are a wild thing, but in general this is the case). SIDE NOTE: There are also some other very important mathematicians who should be credited here. I should mention at least Alonzo Church, who greatly inspired Turing himself(they also worked together and publishd an important result. AFAIK one of them is that Church's framework is equivalent to Turing Machines), and of course the great Haskell Curry(yes the programming language Haskell is named after him). Turing was the father of procedural programming, while Alonzo was the father of funcitonal programming in a sense. Haskell Curry greatly advanced the field from the foundations of Turing and Church. His greatest work is the Curry-Howard correspondence(computer programs and mathematical proofs are in direct lgical correspondence!). Then there is also John von Neumann, who has great contributions everywhere in math. We roughly use his architecture of computers today(CPU, RAM and Input/Output).

According to Merriam-Webster, Y is considered a vowel when: The word has no other vowel: gym, my. The letter is at the end of a word or syllable: candy, deny, bicycle, acrylic. The letter is in the middle of a syllable: system, borborygmus.

[@rakha8812]

Even in "syllable" it's a vowel.

[@LAK_770]

It’s almost always a vowel. It’s simpler to say when it’s not a vowel, which is basically only at the beginning of words, and really only when the following vowel is the “ee” sound like yeet. In this case the y involves slight friction of the tongue against the back of roof of the mouth (say it slowly, it’s like an h but further forward) to distinguish it from the following ee. This non-voiced sound is what qualifies it as a consonant in this case, because that’s what a consonant is, an unvoiced toneless sound. But in words like yet, yacht, young etc, where most people would agree it’s a “consonant”, the y is basically just a quick “ee” sound and it’s a sketchy technicality to call it a consonant in that case. Phonology is complicated AF and these dudes never stood a fuccin chance. Even M, N, and the American R function as vowels. Basically nobody is actually aware of how it works, much less them lol.

The Baltic Sea and Hutson Bay are not really inland seas, they are naturally connected to the rest of the oceans and just happen to have entrances that freeze over in the winter, but during the summer they are not inland by any means, somewhat similar to the Black, Red or Mediterranean seas which are also connected to the rest of the rest of the Ocean. The only body of water i'd say is truly deserving of the title "major inland sea" would be the Caspian Sea, with the Aral sea, some of the American Great Lakes and some of the African Great Lakes being potencial contenders for that title.

[@Selim1939]

Holy fck, I was afraid I was the only one who lost his mind over that question. Like I can get why Baltic (even tho it's totally incorrect, I live by the Baltic Sea, I know it is fucking connected to the North Sea by staits), but going by that logic Red, Dead, (not Redemption) Black and Mediterranean Seas would also count. And Hudson Bay, as the name says, is not even a goddamn sea, it's a BAY. And if they call Dead Sea a lake then I honestly see no way to call any of the Great Lakes inland seas (also, they all have natural connection to the rest of the oceans, definitely Victoria and American Great Lakes have, thanks to the Nile and St. Lawrence Rivers respectively). But yea, Caspian and Aral Seas (until it disappears completely) are the only legit.

[@rubraformica]

The Hudson Bay and Baltic Sea ARE inland seas. The definition of inland sea they were given was incorrect. An inland sea is not completely enclosed by land. If it were, it would be a lake (like the Dead Sea or Caspian Sea).

@@precisa_ Here's the definition of an inland sea: "a shallow sea that covers central areas of continents during periods of high sea level that result in marine transgressions. In modern times, continents stand high, eustatic sea levels are low, and there are few inland seas, the largest being Hudson Bay." So basically the Mediterranean is too deep to be considered an inland sea.

Yeah, I used to eat stuff like this up as a kid. I thought people would like me because I was "smart," but I was one naive online/home schooler. Finally went to school in person for a year and no one liked me for being smart unless it meant that they could profit from it (having me on group projects and other teams). Also, with random facts like this, I feel it has more to do with memorization than intelligence itself. These guys definitely have some sort of high social/emotional intelligence to garner such an audience and I love them for it, even if their book smarts are rusty (they still have the same capacity to understand material). Anyhow, I guess my main point is that a lot of this is stuff a kid will never use practically and shouldn't waste time on (or be expected to remember as an adult), which I take as your point as well. That being said, if someone feels happy learning these things just for the sake of knowing them, good on them. Then it's not wasted time.

Can’t tell if I gain or lose braincells every time they do one of these quizzes.

A lot of these questions were vague or incorrect. Some examples: "How much time does the Earth take to revolve around the sun" - The required level of precision was never specified in the original question nor was it established beforehand that the maximum level of precision a contestant can provide is expected for all science questions. Garnt and Connor should not be penalized for underspecification on the question giver's parts, especially given the fact that the expectations going in were that this is a quiz made for 5th graders. "Name an island that is considered both an island and continent" - There exists debate regarding whether Australia can be considered an island, given that it is already classified as a continent. Some may argue that if a continent can be an island, then Afro-Eurasia is the biggest island. However, if it can be considered that Australia is an island, then Antarctica should be accepted as an island as well and Garnt should have been awarded a point. "Which animal was the first animal was the first to go into space" - A dog was not the first animal in space. The first animals in space were fruit flies. If we are to only consider non-insect animals, then dog is still the incorrect answer as a rhesus monkey was the first animal in space. In that case, Connor is actually more correct. Laika the dog, however, was indeed the first animal sent into orbit, but that was not what the question specified. There is additional ambigiuity in this question when you consider the question of what exact demarcation one uses to be delineate space versus the atmosphere of Earth. The exact point of this demarcation is ultimately arbitrary. "Name the city that was built on seven hills" - While the city of seven hills typically refers to Rome, there are actually many cities that claim this same title. "Who is the world's first computer programmer" - Ada Lovelace is typically attributed this title, but Babbage's personal notes from the years 1836/1837 contain the first programs for the engine. In that case, Babbage himself should be considered the first computer programmer.

They're not smarter than a fifth grader, but Connor and Garnt sure are capable of being petty like proper adults.

[@ringringbananarchy]

On the first question, to be fair to Garnt and Connor, Ashley asked for the answer "in days"...that would imply that days would be the smallest unit, so you would expect them to round to the closest whole day.

[@hermitharry15]

Have you done any sort of high school or even middle school science, specifically Physics or Chemistry? You do not assume that the unit you need to put the answer in is the smallest unit. If Ashley wanted the answer to be specifically 365 days then he would've had to say "round to the nearest whole number/day" which would then disregard the 1/4 days. But that wasn't how the question was presented. It asked how long it takes the Earth to travel around the sun and the unit was in days. For example, say I gave you 44 centimeters but I want the answer in meters then the answer is 0.44 meters. You wouldn't round that at any point unless I specified so.

they were just unnecessarily nit-picky.

[@sablesoul]

@@hermitharry15 Doesn't this imply they are still wrong then? A year isn't 365.25 days, it's 365.2425. There was no specification that they should round to the nearest second decimal place.

[@hermitharry15]

@@sablesoul Yes, if you want to be very picky then they are still wrong. But in some general math or physics, some numbers and constants are too small or long to make a difference to calculate the whole thing. For example, the gravitational acceleration of the Earth is 9.80665 meters per second squared. But for the general physics class in high school or college they tell you to use 9.8 or 9.81. They round it because the 0.00665 is too small to make a difference until you are in higher level courses. Sometimes to the average person the rounded answer is the best answer even if it is not totally correctly. In my opinion, Joey was correct because when you ask the average adult how many day it takes for the Earth to rotate around the sun. Most will answer 365.25 days because that's what the average person is taught or heard.

I'm cumming 😭😭😭

[@dagon7259]

Engineers btw, both failed the math questions. Truly putting that degree to full use

[@Stormchump]

The most difficult question on here: Do you know what a hill is? Great episode guys, had me laughing out loud plenty of times!

Currently listening while having 20 tabs of references open, a pile of chemistry note to my left and a pile of calculus homework to my right. Doesn't get better than this. #unilife

Yeah honestly these vods are the banes of my productivity

As someone who was studying for French for the entirety of this stream, thanks for the shoutout at 3:45, guys. Appreciate the support. My hand is cramping but I got the work done.
