so 1 is not a prime number mostly because it's very convenient that way, but if we were to throw convenience out the window and try to make mathematics as 'natural' as possible, would 1 be a prime?
>>7971447
but why not? saying 1 is not a prime because primes are "a number greater than 1 that is only divisible by 1 and itself" is kinda like saying 9 is not divisible by 3 because numbers divisible by 3 are "a number greater than 9 that is divisible by 3".

>primes - four divisors
>1 - two divisors
Are there any negative side effects of adderall usage? I'm pretty sure I have really bad undiagnosed ADHD and it's taking its toll on me academically.
I manage to barely scrape by on superior ability, but I absolutely cannot focus on anything no matter how hard I try. I've been too proud to be seen for it until now, but it's really starting to fuck with my grades and I'm concerned that I might not be able to continue in my program like this.
>>7971341
insomnia, anxiety, possible cardiovascular issues (vasoconstriction/increased bp), loss of appetite
oh, and staying up all night masturbating furiously
>>7971343
Is there something else that they can prescribe for this sort of thing then?
I really don't want to do this because I feel like the ADHD makes me a really creative person when everyone else is bland and has no inspiration, but I'm being forced to choose between dropping out and being me.

If I went forward 4000 years into the future somehow and then landed back on Earth in Central Park, what would Earth really look like by then once the SJW`s and terrorists are done with it? Would the ageing of the sun make any difference by then? And would there be any cities? This is just a thought experiment. Let us brainstorm and imagine Earth in the future.

What a stupid fucking question
If i^i has a numerical value, why the fuck doesnt i?
yo yo yo hol up
if u stop smocking your fucking weed
u would know that imaginary numbers be bullshit bro
>>7971112
it's the square root of -1
>>7971112
Use Euler's Formula
Anyone else have on/off days? Some days I feel like I can solve anything, and others I'm dumber than a brick
Me too. Too much weed bro
>>7970848
Same here, but it's more like on/off weeks.
I feel suicidal and want to just stop existing then all the sudden I'm doing good in class and stuff

Is genetic enhancement is humans morally permissible?
>>7970737
No, but Gorilla posting is.
>>7970745
shut up, bear poster.
>>7970737
Is letting a person have a terrible sickness the rest of their life morally permissible?
Is not letting human being make their intelligence high enough to solve the worlds problems morally permissible?
It'll happen anyway, who cares if it's "moral"
Morality doesn't inherently exist and is all subjective anyways.
/sci/, what do I have to do to be among the first to set foot on Mars?

How old where you when realized that modern quantum mechanics is bullshit, and that Hydrogen can have fractional quantum numbers, some even lying below its n=1, ground state
Why the fuck does this bitch trying to weld a CM port ?

I was 5 when I first figured that out. Got my first nobel price for that.

Why cant fats be converted into glucose?
Fats can be coverted into acetyl-CoA, which can be converted to OAA, which can be converted to PEP, and, finally, PEP can be used for gluconeogenesis
What am I missing here?
>>7970157
>what am I missing?
A better teacher.
Jk I just don't remember the one biochemical class I took.
They can be I'm pretty sure. It's just inefficient and rarely ever used. Amino acids are easier to make into glucose, so that's what your body does instead.
>>7970157
>Why cant fats be converted into glucose?
They probably can.
But the encoding the enzymes required to do so would be selected against, because it would be retarded to do so
>>7970136
Who knows. But if he's right we're fucked.
I don't think we will ever create a proper AI. All the previous prototypes have been shit and I'm not even counting Tay. Neural networks are good for accessing information but it's not the same thing as creating a sentient virtual being that can process this information into a thought. Thats something that came to us over an excruciatingly long course of evolutionary process and even now we're not that good at it.
>>7970136
There will be no strong AI to conquer the world. Humans are too inept to make such a thing.
Somehow, when you factor a number, if you write the factors of that number [math]p_{0}*p_{1}*...p_{n}[/math] ,ordered from small to big, as a new number [math]p_{0}p_{1}...p_{n}[/math] then you will always end up with a prime number.
a few examples:
[math]6->2*3->23[/math]
[math]12 ->2*2*3->223[/math]
[math]15 ->3*5->35->5*7->57->3*19->319->11*29->1129[/math]
What about 8
8 = 2•2•2
But 222 isn't prime
>>7970060
10 -> 2 * 5 -> 25
Sorry, bud.

If I were to buy Uranium marbles and place them in this person's bag, or under their bed, how long approx. until they got cancer?
>>7970051
never
try grinding it up and somehow make them ingest it
but don't
>>7970141
couldnt the police see the uranium in the dead persons body and see that Retard OP made a recent purchase of uranium
>>7970051
Not in that for OP. You'll need to make the uranium unstable. Easiest way to do is bombard it with protons and make plutonium. Just go to a hospital and say you have cancer. Ask for proton therapy and sneak it under your clothes. It should become radioactive in no time.

You just have to be an evil genius and no respect for scientific ethics.

If they can stop being so fucking incompetent all the time and get off their ass, they can finally open a space-time portal and bring our dark lord destroyer of the words Shiva to rule Earth with endless torture and suffering once again.

>inb4 this is the new shitposting thread
Thanks for the advice, anon.
Unfortunately, mods are always asleep. Try reporting the thread yourself. You can even get banned.

>mods are always asleep
But the archive shows otherwise.
Did you even look at my link? or did you just want to post a shit reply?
>>7969674
It's an hyperbole.
But they actually banned me for reporting this https://warosu.org/sci/thread/S7967104
When r9k and pol start a discussion, it's a criclejerk full of low quality posts. There are boards for that shit, you know?
This "environment" repels some posters which make those q/a interesting threads and some eventual happening, for example.
IQ and statistic demographics are good, unfortunately, those threads derail to pol shitposting and r9k circlejerk.
