number 1.jpg

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?

No

>>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".

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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]

>>
>>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.

I see a lot of hate for the mods, but if you look at /sci/ archives, you find that they delete a lot of shit threads. Look at the link below for examples. 8 shit threads deleted in 16 hours.

The problem is that you faggots decide to reply to these threads, instead of reporting and hiding them. If you complain about mods, but are one of the faggots who replies to shit threads, and you don't report shit threads, you are the cancer killing /sci/

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.
