Living in Hawaii is suffering
come to bavaria and replace pacific ocean with beer while youre suffering.
>>8120912
Or you could just do what a bunch of other people working at SpaceX do and study MechE/CompSci/Physics or do an MSc/PhD after undergrad.
>>8120912
Physics, motherfucker. Do you study it?
Seriously, fuck compsci.
What are examples of things in mathematics that appear to be "obviously" true but in fact aren't?
>>8119265
the equation [math]x^n + y^n = z^n[/math] has no whole number solutions for integers n>2.
(Seems obvious, but isn't)
>>8119279
uh wasnt this proved to be true, though
>>8119279
Almost surely the "but in fact they aren't" was not refering to the "obviously" but to the "true".
That's what you get if yoy're not communicating in first order logic.
Holy shit he's really doing it.
He's solving strong AI as we fucking speak.

It's not going to work the way they and others are attempting.
Self-awareness developed after basic input, output, storage, processing and referential relationships.
The problem is that they continually try to bypass the annoying mid stage of organisms, the referential relationship and complex pattern recognition and interpretation... and they skip to syntax and image recognition.
If an AI can't even recognize what it is or at least what belongs to it and what does not [survival programming], then all it's going to do is perform parlor tricks...

I think what you're proposing is currently too computationally intensive to be practical. I don't exactly agree with the details of your argument but I agree with the spirit of the argument in general.
Ask your stupid questions here.
Here's mine: Let A be some finite set and 1_A be a mapping from set A to set A. I want to show 1_A (the identity mapping on A) is an isomorphism.
An isomorphism is defined as: gof=1_A and fog=1_B for f:A->B, g:B->A.
I need to find the inverse of 1_A which I know is 1_A but not sure how to formally prove it.
I was thinking of saying f:A->A: then I_A o f = I_A and f o I_A = I_A but I don't know if this is right. Can someone help?
well at least the question belongs in the thread
1_A o 1_A = 1_A
I don't know what more you need really
>>8117456
Yeah, it is so trivial I wasn't sure what to show. Thanks.
How do I integrate this from -1 to 1?
What area of mathematics do you have little to no interest in?
>>8112660
Statistics

>having areas of mathematics you have little to no interest in.
having some you have more interest in is fine but if you have an area of mathematics you have totally no interest in yo might as well kill yourself .
>>8112665
Try a course in stochastic processes anon.
How wrong is this?

Absolutely disgusting
define "wrong"
>>8115553
Incorrect in any way, shape, or form.

Pure or applied mathematics. Which is better and why?
bitch please, nothing is better than pure maths
app maths it's for those who doesn't have the guts to go pure
>>8120199
Can you give a good definition on what applied maths is and what pure maths is?
Why is heroin today sold in powder form when it used to be sold as a dapper liquid? Is it just easier to transport this way?
Also why the fuck did Bayer claim that heroin was less addictive than morphine? Is it true? Or were they lying for profit? Or did they just conduct shitty study?
Heroins the best drug for real though.
Simple euphoria with the tradeoff of not being able to shit or cum while high, no long term side effects besides fantasizing about its effects.
Literally perfect.
>>8118394
back in those days you could whatever the fuck you wanted without repercussion because theyre was no regulations.

reminds me of a modern situation
>-Sackler family of Purdue Pharma invents the concept of drug advertising and the infomercial
>-Sacklers buy up respected medical journals plugging their drugs while pretending to be empirical science. Started with Valium ,which was the first 100 million dollar drug.
>-Sacklers bribe FDA doctor in charge of OxyContin by giving him a comfortable job right after approving it.
>-Sacklers set up bogus "pain advocate" groups to start making lists of doctors refusing to give patients OxyContin for relatively minor ailments.
>-Sacklers send out salesmen to pester and persuade doctors.
>-Sacklers make $35 billion, three executives from Purdue Pharma are convicted of fraud and a million other felonious charges in relation to OxyContin in court, but only have to pay $645 million.
>-Sacklers target rural doctors.
>-Sacklers intimidate last few doctors refusing to prescribe their poison to just anyone by putting them on boycott lists through their proxies. Eventually they bribe medical boards, to threaten doctors guilty of "inadequate pain management" with taking their licenses.
As the title says are the games good in small amount like exercise.I remember reading that playing games improves you decision making reactions etc.
>>8123460
they're only good in large amount.
you don't excel in something by practicing once a week.
Sometimes competitive gaming is more exhausting and taxing than purely physical activity.

All I know is that anime and videogames are the only thing I do in my free time and I am the #1 student at my university (studying mathematics).
I think that proves that videogames raise intelligence. Pretty much case closed.
Large doses are always healthier than small doses.

I wish I could up my intelligence level via grinding studying but without classes I just have no ambition.
Boo hoo, poor anon.
Iktf. I programmed at least 15 hours for a uni project, in like 2-7 hour bursts, when I had someone with me. Without company, I just don't want to participate in anything. Literally I have done at least 90% of my assignments within a day they were due, because I just couldn't be fucked until then.

Oh now we have a pity party.. Jesus.
Is Medicine Science?
>>8122840
No. Yes. I mean no.
>>8122840
It's both science and applied practice of the scientific discoveries.
In medicine some people can take the vocation of medics - and use the existing medical data and researches to help others, even have a career out of it.
There's also research in medicine - some medics do both - especially surgeons.
>>8122840
Define science : the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.
Medicine adheres to this, thus medicine is a science.
End of discussion.

Well that was awful.

The autism is off the charts.
Not even Khan Academy can teach you how to measure such levels of autism.
How good is khan academy when it comes to science? I haven't done science since I've dropped out of high school and don't remember anything at all about science. Is it a good place for beginners when it comes to science?
There was some worksheet I found here a while ago called integrals from hell with a bunch of difficult integral problems. that I lost. I'm looking to practice basic integration inside-out for my calc2 class so if anyone had that worksheet or anything similar that'd be much appreciated.
uh bump i just want some practice resources for basic integration
>>8122758
>calc 2
it's literally plug and chugg m8
just do the problems in any calculus textbook
t. 97% in calc II

nah bruh you need creativity and practice so you know when to u-sub what
I say it would be 1g because the flies are in the air and therefore not exerting force on the scale.

Sealed container? Weight remains the same with only slight fluctuations, but still the average of the fluctuations remain the original weight.
High school science 101.

OH GOD YES, OH FU K YES I CAN'T WAIT, FUCKKKK YESS, YES
>>8122148
Protip: Gas is fluid. The atmosphere is being pushed down to the earth. Now, consider a jar of water in the ocean. It is clearly "heavier" than a jar of air in the ocean which would rapidly rise to the top. Therefore, the weight of the fluid inside the jar is significant.
