Scientifically speaking, why does chad predominantly study business/finance while incels and non-whites predominantly study STEM? What mechanisms are at play here?

Control Theory

No.14226374 ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Have to learn this as part of a mechatronics class, why the fuck is this theory such a train wreck?

In terms of the theory itself:
>vast array of different methods and calculations to find the most optimal control system
>all pretty much useless unless it's dire it needs to not fuck up
>99% of application it's just PID tuning via guessing numbers until something works decent

As for the education of the theory:
>Lecturers are shit, literally will just copy and paste from books but with less effort/information, or make it ten times as convoluted as possible
>Dorf is considered one of the best books to learn it, man cannot teach to save his life (missing information, massive jumps that feel like a puzzle than a textbook, I honestly felt like I was in a lucid dream reading his book because it's all so vaguely illogical due to the jumps it makes)
>Ogata is MVP, man explains shit easy and simple, but sometimes writes like he wrote the script to "the missile knows where it is" video.

Of course it's badly taught because nobody uses it beyond PID tuning, so passing the exam is all that matters, but jesus christ it digs its own grave, no wonder theory is an academic rabbit hole.

Also I'm surprised Simulink is the only mentioned tool for this stuff, base-MATLAB has alternatives (worst case even Python is good enough), but nobody seems to have made Simulink alternatives

We learned more; science progressed; man increased it's potential; man's future became brighter. I'm thinking this is all a good thing :)

Can you get high on dried ornamental poppy?

If so how?

These are legal most everywhere used for decoration but there must be a glitch here somewhere

What Even Is Gravity?

No.14282525 ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
Is it constant acceleration? Would it be accurate to say I'm constantly accelerating towards Earth while standing still? Isn't that what an accelerometer would say? Also, why do you experience reduced gravity when a plane drastically drops in altitude?

Cracking RSA

No.14288720 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Light can compute linear transformations with high bandwidth: https://phys.org/news/2021-09-desired-linear-digital-processor.html

Is there any way to apply this to factorizing integers? I saw a post discussing this a while back on /g/ and someone claimed to have broken RSA. Neither of the anons revealed exactly how they claimed to do it, but implied it was using this method.
