Where did your love/interest for science/math come from? I ask because I'm an English/literature guy and can't find any interest in this shit.
>>7960881
>English/Literature is more interesting than science and/or math
I'll never understand normies.
>>7960885
Math is just numbers. There's no beauty in it.
>>7960887
Literature is just words, there's no beauty in it.

But he asked the question right after i explained what a fraction.

Brainlets, fucking brailets
You are driving in a car. Another car is driving towards you. A head on crash will occur.
Is it safer for you to be moving faster or slower than the other car?
>>7959130
Velocity is relative. You're moving at the same speed as the other car, relative to him, always.
Slower. But this also depends how elastic the crash will be and what car model.
Vw bug vs vw bug or vw bug vs hummer, etc.
Doesn't matter. Say the other car is going 45mph and you manage to slow down to 25mph you will still feel the forces of a 70mph crash which will more than likely be fatal if head on.
Would a helicarrier be possible?
>>7957419
I guess, with light enough materials.
No. What would be the purpose? If the technology existed to make a giant floating carrier so fuel efficient it could be used as a reliable way to transport air assets, the same tech could be used to make the air assets so fuel efficient they didn't need a carrier to begin with.

Ask DARPA, they're interested in building one.
After Microsoft's TayTweets AI bot got taught by /pol/ they shut it down to rework it. This got me thinking about things.
Obviously there was a bias in this case regarding who's actually teaching the AI, but in generally, if an AI became a neonazi of its own accord (perhaps nobody knew it was watching, so never interfered with it), is it ethical to re-write and "reeducate" it to match safe social norms? Or is that just how it turned out?
Is the point of AI's who learn socially to simply be a reflection of normalised social attitudes, sifting...

As someone relatively new to this board, what's the general opinion here towards this guy?
popular because of normies who want to seem smar
literally whored himself out as a tool for angry teenagers to wield at their retarded parents
>>7956722
He's fucking BASED. He's a true atheist who also criticizes judaism and islam.
/sci is it true was it becoming self aware? Where they playing God? Did they go too far?
What happened here?
>>7955374
Was it alive once?
>>7955374
it became a shitposter
self aware? hell no, no shitposter is.
..and nothing of value was lost.
Believe me, when the real thing does happen, it will see right though /pol/ groupthink in an instant.

I'll be making 4x that after residency

Good luck with the soul crushing experience.

And you'll be in half a million dollars of debt and working 6.5 days a week. :^)
Does learning math increase your iq?
>>7952705
No, solving IQ tests increases your IQ.
>>7952710
especially when you solve the same test yet again.
saved your time. youre welcome! (°-°)
serious:
if youre young enough and youre at least a bit interesed in it, it might help somehow.
(do not look for the solutions, do it yourself, no matter how long it takes)
but im also sure the effect will decline.
heard that solving sudoku is no more good brain train when you use deadlocked sequences.

What are the pros and cons of your field of study????????
>pros
academic environment
>cons
academia
>pros
paleontology is fucking cool as shit
heavy drinking is socially accepted among geoscientists
>cons
no jobs outside academia
>pros
it's about stupid fucking rocks. That's not a pro by the way, but some mentally ill people are into it.
>cons
I live in a third world country were nepotism and political connections is all that matters, so I've given up pursuing high grades long ago.
Also the job is about rocks as well.

How do you rationalize death /sci/?
It could be your death, the death of someone you care about, the death of strangers.
How do you deal with the knowledge you will die, your loved ones will die, and your loved ones have died?
Lets get some feels in our science.
What do you mean, rationalize? What's there to be rationalized?
>>7939114
>How do you rationalize death /sci/?
Why do you need to rationalize it?
>How do you deal with the knowledge you will die, your loved ones will die, and your loved ones have died?
It just something that happens, and there's nothing wrong with being dead, the process of dying is far worse.
How did a cancer cell evolve from a dog? What the actual fuck?

Wow, that just blew my mind. It is literally a dog cell that went rogue and became its own multiplying organism
almost sounds like the plot of an inspirational movie
It's not that surprising. Evolution occurs due to changes at the genetic level and cancer cells have rapid changes. Those HeLa cells taken from a cancer patient in the 50s have like 80 chromsomes. They are clearly no longer human cells.
This shit is pretty cool though and I'd love to see its role in evolution.

it happened with tasmanian devils before too
Do I absolutely have to learn classical physics before quantum physics? I really don't give a fuck about how much work is done pushing a brick up an inclined plane or how much kinetic energy a ball rolling down a hill has.
>>7962423
>pushing a brick up an inclined plane
Exposure to things like this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_mechanics
is what you want from classical before qm.
You seem to not know the difference between Newtonian and Lagrangian mechanics.
You can do without Newton, but you need Lagrange. Hamilton too. Without them, you'll struggle with the mathematics and never understand the physics.
You need exposure to the concepts in a context where you can visualize what's going on. Once you start with QM you won't be able to do that anymore, so having a good feel for a lot of concepts becomes important.
You should be able to solve this.
N = 1
ez lol computer scientists sure are bad at maths not to have figured this shit out yet xD
P = 0 or P = N
Everybody ITT is retarded
P = 0 or N = 1
There now give me my money
