Can you actually do anything useful with cellular automata?
know don't I
Can you repeat the question?
Is a function [math] f [/math] uniformly continuous at any interval that is a single point? So if the interval is [1,1], would the function be uniformly continuous? Or would it actually depend on what the function is?
>>8011817
what is your definition of uniformly continuous? if you're using the same one as wikipedia at least, then uniform continuity is a global condition and it doesn't even make sense to check it at a point.
>>8011817
Are you high? Look at the definition again,look at your post,contemplate suicide,do it.
A point is an interval though
I've thought a lot about how to designed scripting and programming languages and I always run into the same problem: Control flow.
No matter how I look at it, in order to write programs, every programming language needs some way for the programmer to change the "shape" (execution path) of the algorithm. This is how the programmer imbues a program with logic to separate it from an empty state graph.
My problem is that I only know this intuitively; I have no idea how to prove it. If it's true I ought to be able to prove it, right? So how do I...

That's the first time I've seen that image, and I actually laughed. Nice.
And yes, you do need conditionals. Without *some* way of the output depending on the input, your algorithm would produce the same result every time; even with slightly looser definitions, it wouldn't even be able to represent general functions (since no piecewise defined functions.)
To actually reach the full category of algorithms, you need both conditionals and some form of recursion/loops.
>>8011857
So it's all by definition then? The logic of the algorithm is defined as the jumps?
>>8011857
this.
if i remember correctly, look up "structured program theorem". you need some minimum of properties to be able to program.
as to prove this, ask some gauss here on board.
So if CS undergrads are pretty much code monkeys, what's graduate school like for CS? Like, what general areas does the research focus on and how rigorous is it? Are CS grad students actually innovative and talented?
I literally knew nothing about programming until a few weeks ago when I started taking this beginner course as an elective and it turns out I'm actually good at it and enjoy it greatly. I'm thinking aboit majoring in CS but I don't want to be a code monkey.

>I'm thinking aboit majoring in CS but I don't want to be a code monkey.
You literally cannot do anything else with a CS degree other than code.
Not even manage teams of programmers because the only degree that actually teaches this is software engineering. CS is literally codemonkey studies.
All CS are codemonkeys but not all codemonkeys are CS majors. This is a really sad truth of computer science, anyone else can get your job and will probably get paid...

Many CS advisers will tell you the major in something else in undergrad and then do CS in grad school.

Discrete Math
Data Structures
Algorithms
I would supplement those courses with Calculus I-III, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Analysis, Mathematical Logic (Advanced course)
Are the three "most important" CS courses you need to take. Ignoring OS, and other "applied" courses.
You can go into many different areas:
Artificial Intelligence; Computation and Language; Computational Complexity; Computational Engineering, Finance, and Science; Computational Geometry;...

Guys. Make me a fucking curriculum.
By the end of the six years, I want to be able to go through this journey with the same knowledge as somebody who has a bachelors in mathematics, chemistry and physics.
If you could recommend some books on philosophy that'd be great too.
I've already done this on my own for two years while doing my chemical engineering degree and I'd say I'm reading master level books at the moment, but I'd like to get a stronger foundation.
Please don't recommend me the /sci/ dictionary since I've...

Evolutionary Biology is not an empirical science though. Its still a theory. You can't go back in time and see how species evolve.

i think this is going to go sideways, but still. what's a good introductory macroeconomics textbook that isn't bloated? i'm used to reading math textbooks, so books like mankiw's that seem to drift from the core of the subject are annoying for me to read. i'm pretty sure the subject, at an introductory level, doesn't really takes 900 pages. i'm curious about how currency and trade work. also it'd be great if the author doesn't seem to be biased

Too ugly, my hair is the only nice thing I have. Not for much longer though.

I agree. Go skinhead jason statham style until all your hair falls off. Then get implants. Todays hair technology is indistinguisable from real hair and its relatively affordable

The truth is that, in reality, you're mediocre in math and science, and likely would be mediocre in sports if you were given an equivalent skill level; the other prevailing truth is that that mediocrity in either area will only get you moderately far in life - in fact, you'll probably go further with your comparatively low understanding of stem than you would with equivalent understanding in music.
Why not both? I'm good at STEM and at sports as well as art. Get out level plen.
