How would I need to be treated while dying / dead and how to be buried to increase my chances of "Afterlife"?
is death = TV's plug out, and any near death experience just DMT, making you halluzinate in it's slow downed sense of time?
I want to believe in something like my conscious soul floating around freely, able to observe the functioning universe, is this likely?
>>7956141
No. You probably just die.

is topology a meme ?
>>7955945
Asking "is X a meme" is a meme.
>>7955949
stating "[asking] 'is X a meme' is a meme", is a meme
>>7955945
It's homotopy equivalent to a meme.
Is getting paid to do homework for someone a legal offence anywhere?
I'm considering doing people's homework for $20 an hour and advertising on Craigslist, Gumtree or that 5 dollar service thing for people all over the world
>>7955922
Doing it is not illegal. Asking/paying someone to do it for them is probably, depending on where you are. Anyway, you can blackmail those idiots after a few sessions into giving your money in exchange for you not ratting them out. Seems like a good, solid enterprise.
Why would anyone pay someone to do their homework though? Do professors in the US check students' homework?
>>7955939
Yes, but they likely do in a number of other countries as well. It depends on the university, and sometimes even on the specific professor. Nationality doesn't really have anything to do with it.
In my case, (in the US), some professors check homework. I'd say about half don't.
Hello /sci/ I want to make a rendering engine,and i lack good literature/videos or any kind of sauce on triangular mesh data structures,any advice where to find some ?
If you're serious about it at this time you should be looking into something SVO based. Look into Vulkan.

not sure if this past exam paper is real

Are non newtonian engines legit or an elaborate ruse?

what causes diametric shifts in taste a society's in women? Is there any evolutionary advantage for men to like fatter/thicker women compared to what was ideal in the 90s and 00s?
How did we go from Spears to Minaj?
>>7955251
fuck i meant diametric shifts in a society's taste in women, it is late.
Nothing has changed, it's just a ruse to make fatties feel beautiful by promoting the "curvy" meme.
>>7955255
just browse /fit/ once.
How can a group that advocates fitness idolize thick/fat/chubby women?

im failing my math class
so im trying to grasp this logic when converting decimal to binary
>If you look at the chart, you’ll notice a relation to the numbers. Starting with 2, each number is double the number to the right of it. If you can remember this chart, you are over half way there. So now pretend you have a decimal number like 190 that you need to convert to binary. To convert it, you need to find the numbers in the chart, starting from the left, that will add up to 190. For starters, we know that 128 will fit in to 190 so let’s mark that one off with a one.
>Think of it like playing blackjack. You want to get to 21 but you never want to go over. So keep adding numbers left to right until you reach the correct number, if you go over, skip that number. Adding 32 brings us to 160, add 16 and that gives us 176. We’re still not over so keep going
What does it mean when? 128 goes into 190 exactly? I get that 128 is smaller and can fit into 190 yes, but theres 62 left over
>The next number, 64 won’t fit. That would add up to 192 so we’ll mark that one with a zero.
Now 64, in my logic does fit into 190 with 126 left over
Think of it like playing blackjack. You want to get to 21 but you never want to go over. So keep adding numbers left to right until you reach the correct number, if you go over, skip that number. Adding 32 brings us to 160, add 16 and that gives us 176. We’re still not over so keep going.
adding 32 brings us to 160? what equation is he using ? adding 16 gives us 176 ... where did he get the 16 from?
What is the most simplest way of me learning this /sci/ help no dont accuse me of troll im not good at math
>>7955085
Let's start simple.
Say you want to convert 10 in a binary.
In binary it is 101
You take 10 and check if 8 fits inside it. It does so write down
1
Then you're left with 2. Go to the next binary number which is 4. Does 4 fit in 2? No. Add a 0 to the previous 1 you marked down.
Go down a binary number again which is 2. Does the binary 2 fit in the remaining 2 that we have? Yes. So mark a 1 at the end.
So we have 101
Also how old are you? This should be highschool material.
>>7955085
Every digit of a binary representation represents a power of two, counting from the right. The rightmost digit is 2^0, next one is 2^1, etc. So you're trying to add up numbers of the form 2^n to get 190. You need to start by looking for the biggest one because you're only allowed one of each power (remember you can only have 0 or 1 in each place).
The biggest power of 2 that will fit into 190 is 128 (2^7), so that place has a 1. 62 is left. The biggest that will fit into that is 2^5, so put a one in that place. etc. etc.

Guys, I've come to the realization that free will and the idea of a self are both memes, and I'm freaking the fuck out. If there's no real "me" outside of the sum of all my life experience, and everything I will ever think or do is totally outside of my control, why go on living? How do I retain my sanity now that I have this knowledge? The only logical conclusion seems to be to become a hedonist (in the philosophical sense) and just pursue pleasure while trying to avoid all forms of pain or discomfort.
>>7954998
No, OP, you ARE mind control.

You were that close to trips so basically, you're completely wrong by statistics.
- Consciousness controls the brain more to a bigger degree than hormones.
- Define what consciousness is and if I were to remove parts of your brain piece by piece, when would you no longer realize you exist but still go about your daily life.
Let's say there's 2 objects in the universe. A incredibly large object and another lesser object. These 2 are separated by an incredibly long distance, but enough for the objects to be within each other's gravitational pull.
Given a big enough distance wouldn't it be possible for the objects to exceed the speed of light due to the gravitational acceleration?
>>7954976
No; velocity doesn't work that way.
>>7954976
Yes, it's possible to *imagine* a reference frame from which one object appears to move at superluminal velocity /with regard to the other object/, but the manifold that composes questions with embedded "objective" reference frames isn't a valid form of relativistic reality. The problem is that you're trapped in the manifold is can only see the "objectively" superluminal object /as if it was/ moving at near-light velocity.
Is psychology even an actual science?
no, but worshipping shit as "science" is fucking retarded.
>>7954974
It is if you make a hypothesis first. It doesn't even have to be valid, it just has to be a hypothesis.
>>7954974
It's as much of a science as economics.
It's effectively an analysis of tends and the attempted application of the findings of said analysis.

In the dark year of 1932, two Australian soldiers were sent into the heart of the nation to suppress the overpopulated Emus. Outmatched and outnumbers, the Australian soldiers retreated, but not before killing several brave Emus.
These Emus do not eat. They were killed
The probability a person is present at school is 0.94. If absent, then the probability that they are absent the next day is 0.17. If a person were at school today, find the probability that their attendance the next 5 days is AAPPA.

Markov Chains Bruh.
Wow thanks, last question.
Suppose someone own 3 pairs of pants, 7 hats, and 8 boxer briefs. All clothing is a different color. What is the probability that they will wear a red hat or yellow pants?
>>7954891
Assuming that the event of choosing a hat is independent from choosing a pant, the intersection should be
[math]P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)[/math]
Where P(A) is probability of a red hat and P(B) is probability of a yellow pant. Since each clothing is a different color, and assuming each article of clothing contains at least one of the desired colors, P(A)=1/7 and P(B)=1/3
[math]P(A\cap B)=(1/7)(1/3)=(1/21)[/math]
How the fuck do I solve for the arc in that triangle?
I'm imaging it like two tangent lines on a triangle, where the two lines intersect is 150 deg angle, and the angles that form between the horizontal line between the two tangent points and the lines are 15 deg each?
This is just part of a physics problem I'm trying to solve. How do I solve for this geometry?
Okay simplification.
How do I solve for ?

wat do? am i gonna die?
what is scientifically the best way to a) maximize performance on this test b) go to sleep tonight
dont take stims anymore and only take them when your studying the material a few days before a test. you already dungoofed
