What do you make of extremely high IQ.
People with IQs in the 160+ level.
I think that they're a diverse group of people with many different hobbies and interests, kind of like any unspecific group of people
>>8145009
If I had to guess, I'd say that each of them has an IQ that is at least 160.

Wow anon, are you a genius?
Were they closer to tailess monkeys like Proconsul or more gibbon-looking creatures, like this little chap.

Really?
I liked Bio in highschool and college. Physics was good in highschool too, taking it again in college next semester. Chemistry came easy in highschool too, seemed to be the only one in class who knew what was going on, but i scored not-so-great on my final exam because I started slacking towards the end of the semester. Science was always my favorite subject, but I always ignored chem/bio majors because I didn't think there were any good job prospects besides being a doctor, which I'd like to be, but I'd never go to med school unless I wasnt paying for it, and...

Don't go to medical school if you aren't 100% sure you want to do it because you will hate your life.
There are jobs in the field, but require MS or PhD. If you aren't into that, look into ChemE.

Study engineering if you're concerned about salary

Strays away bio/chem. Mostly math

Genius. His work has been verified by over 10 mathematicians now. Good enough for me.

well what do you mean by genius?
To be a mathematician you probably are already smart...

>an "observer" is just the measurement taken between probabilities
Stop fucking memeing me.
>>8144685
an observer is anything in the environment that interacts with a quantum state
>>8144685
It's poorly introduced but a simple concept. Any measurement involves photons or some other particle impacting the system and its destination being measured. The impact disturbs the system.

an observer is a conscious human bean

Is Euler pronounced youler or oiler?
>>8144562
Oil
Oiler in the presence of any stemfag
Yooler in your heart
Depends on the origin of the name, if it's German then 'oiler'.
Anyone here like reactor idle or factory idle?
I've found idle games kinda relaxing as the only goal is to optimize. Anyone else on /sci/ play these type of games? Do you have any special techniques or do you just wing it until it gets to 100% efficiency?
>>8144441
Bump
>>8144441
pretty neat, going to have to start playing these. How long does it take to reach the max tech level?
>>8144506
The max tech level is probably something that would take weeks to get to but trust me it's hard enough at a base level to figure stuff out. Reactor idle is easier then factory idle but they both got their merits. Reactor idle is more to do with designing heat density maps with heat transfer systems capable of keeping things below critical temp and feeding said heat to generators to make power so money can be made. Factory idle is more about designing input and output systems so as to ensure everything gets the...

Please explain to a noobie what math is and how to understand that without going to a top-tier University for 5+ years axioms et al.
the definition of math is a philosophical topic. if you want to get into math, start at khan academy and work through the different lectures and exercises.

Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, “knowledge, study, learning”) is the study of topics such as quantity (numbers),[2] structure,[3] space,[2] and change.

Ok /sci/, remember the old Voyager 1 record? Where we put a gold plaque on Voyager 1 filled with images and sounds of earth in case alien life finds it? Lets make an updated one.
Post pictures you would add.

How did you study for this exam? I have been working through Stewart like crazy, as well as Dummit & Foote, to a lesser extent.
I need to find a good linear algebra book to study for the exam, too. Any recommendations? Strang? Axler?
Any tips or comments or whatever would be greatly appreciated
I also plan on buying Princeton Review's book, as well as Schaum's Calculus, fully aware of the shortcomings of both. Would really love to get in the 80% percentile, but I'm not so sure this is feasible
>>8144100
Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right is a text that's very theoretical in the style of Algebraic arguments/proofs. I believe that the GRE mainly calls for more manipulation than abstract arguments. In that case Gilbert Strang's books are probably more akin to the GRE.
tl;dr Axler too theoretical for GRE, Strang Good.
>>8144150
Thanks! Are you speaking from experience? I mean, have you taken the GRE?
Does the lack of gf destroy you both physically and mentally?
Is there any correlation between cuddling/sleeping with a woman and being healthier?
go away faggot >>>/r9k/
Well your physical health depends on your actions, which depend on your mentality, so sure, why not.
Also a woman is more likely to cuddle/sleep with a healthy man than an unhealthy man, so there's a correlation for you. The cause is backwards though.

Computation and the human mind
The set of possible human thoughts is not finite. In principle one could imagine more states than any computer could ever exhibit. Doesn't that mean the human mind is at least as strong as an infinite state machine (which themselves as a class of computational models are strictly stronger than Turing machines, for the latter are bound to a finite number of states? In addition the transition function of states in the human mind is not fixed in advance but can be altered at any moment in time.
So is the Church-Turing thesis not...

You can make a calculator to come up with infinite outputs by operating the fractional numbers between 1 and 2. Does that mean a shitty pocket calculator is at least as strong as an infinite state machine ?
My God this is genius
>>8143631
Except you can't. A calculator can have only a finite number of states. Unlike a human mind, a calculator can only work with finite approximations of real numbers but not with real numbers themselves.
