So in a few moments an AI is going to play Go against Lee Se-Dol, a South Korean professional Go player. You can watch it on Youtube

How can you turn pic related into a true equation by only moving one matchstick?
take any of the vertical matchsticks and make a 'not equals' sign

morning /sci/
What music do you listen to when you are tackling a project or studying? I have some Bach, Vivaldi, VNV.
High bpm music. Something like these:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_iNw51H1UU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XNb8y5JAm0
Sometimes, I actually just use a high metronome:

Makes me think of everything over and over
>>7917026
metronome- great idea!
That music would take me some getting used to. I find myself looking away from what I'm reading a lot.
Opeth
Amon Amarth
Mastodon
Future Funk

Does /sci/ have a consensus on man made climate change?
This is 4chan. There are no consensuses on anything. Also, it's pretty hard to prove correlation and causation on a global scale, but I'm sure the scientific community generally agrees on the human impact on the environment.
>>7913550
Given that its a science board, I would want to hope the consensus mirrors that in the scientific community- that it's real, it's getting worse, it's caused by humans, and the evidence for these positions is overwhelming.
/sci/entists, what are your thoughts on FTL travel? Do you think we'll ever figure out how to make warp drives without absurd mass/energy requirements? Will we be confined to our galaxy for the rest of our species' lifespan?
I think robots and artificial intelligence will be the explorers of the galaxy. Why go fast when you have all the time in the world to travel as a metal man?
>>7912946
Keep popsci in /g/ please.
Even if we can go light speed or slightly faster. The galaxy is so huge. That we won't ever be able to go very far in a human lifetime.
Why aren't space ships ever shown correctly in movies or such?
Assuming we get past deflecting laser weaponry, a real ship in space would need to be able to accelerate quickly in any direction, why is it that they're only ever shown moving like traditional jet fighters?
Are there any shows/films/games that have done space combat correctly?

because they look dull and purely functional. fictional things look cooler
Assuming there is no antigravity drive or something, multi-direction thrusters would kill pilots due to g-forces. It would probably be advantageous for them to remain behind the CoG due to pilot retention and phisiology. Same goes for surface-to-space vehicles.
>>7912928
sometimes BSG got fighter mechanics kinda close - def closer than anything that comes to mind outside of hard sci fi novels
Has anyone here experience with the philosophy of science?
Someone recommended me to look into it, but I'm not sure yet whether it's worth it. I'd like to hear your personal opinions. Did reading about philosophy of science change your view? How did you profit from it? Or did it turn out to be a more or less useless fedora thing?
pic unrelated
If you are talking about physics, it's mostly bullshit
Still it can be interesting and help you to view some things differently.
Physics is only interesting when the math behind the ideas is understood. But it you have trouble accepting the way you think things work (like spacetime, very small thing (quantum mechanics), it might be worth investing time in
TL;DR usually science philosophy is not substantiated and based on some logical links/no actual math
>>7911800
Philosophy is pseudo science and pseudo intellectualism. It is learning a bunch of buzzwords and then attempting to mimick the logical process of a mathematician to find 'meaning' in the buzzwords.
Completely useless. Anything that has philosophy in the title is complete shit that you can do without. Instead read a calculus book and actually become a better human being.
>>7911800
Don't listen to the angry fedoras
If by philosophy of science you mean epistemology and philosophical assumptions made by scientists then yes it's an absolute necessity if you're in stem
How does something as immaterial as consciousness come from unconscious matter?
>>7909605
>something immaterial
Sit the fuck down, clown.
>>7909605
Maybe it doesn't and a certain kind of consciousness uses (modifies) matter to express itself?
The title says it all. Post your mathematical problems or thoughts and have people discuss them with you.
No college advice, no textbook recs.

Welcome to /sci/.
>>7909442
Yeah, I have started some before and this is exactly what happened but who knows..
>>7906494
Anybody know what this is supposed to be?
>>7906498
an animated 3 dimensional parametric equation.
>>7906494
Biology is beautiful
Which one is better for increasing focus/intelligence and the ability to handle day to day tasks?
>>7906223
His colleague Alfréd Rényi said, "a mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems",[15] and Erdős drank copious quantities (this quotation is often attributed incorrectly to Erdős,[16] but Erdős himself ascribed it to Rényi[17]). After 1971 he also took amphetamines, despite the concern of his friends, one of whom (Ron Graham) bet him $500 that he could not stop taking the drug for a month.[18] Erdős won the bet, but complained that during his abstinence, mathematics had been set back by a month: "Before, when I looked at a piece of blank paper my mind was filled with ideas. Now all I see is a blank piece of paper." After he won the bet, he promptly resumed his amphetamine use.
Neither of those. Cigarettes don't do shit, and weed just makes you lazy.
Caffeine is the correct choice
>>7906223
Nicotine and caffeine have both been demonstrated to have memory-enhancing effects.
But you shouldn't smoke. There are vaporizers and patches.
What stupid shit have you seen or heard in your classes or labs?
>making ethers
>using high molar sulphuric acid
>the weird kid spills some on his hand (don't know if on purpose or not)
>goes back to his chair and just stares at it
>taken to the hospital for chemical burns
>using ethanol
>some guy bets another to take a shot
>instavomit
>so many girls getting hair caught on fire
>>7904926
What community college are you attending?
>>7904949
that was in high school, don't really have many stories from studying math
>>7904986
you had access to high molarity sulfuric acid in highschool? fuark.
Is the Earth Flat or is it a Globe?
>>7933056
hey pal, did you just blow in from stupid town?>>>7930606
>>7933056
It's conical.
>>7933056
Clearly the earth is a cube. You know nothing.
On a molecular level, how exactly do sound waves go around corners? Is it just that the pressure of the more central parts of the wavefront forces the particles on the outer edge to expand out?
>>7932879
Also how does the slit being less /wide/ than the wave's /length/ lead to diffraction when these quantities are perpendicular to each other?
>>7932886
It's always radial
>>7932945
Plane waves aren't radial and they go around corners too
Anyway I'm asking about the molecular level
What would be a good experimental question to ask people for a survey?

That is kind of what I am doing.............as ......in......right .....now......
Please... I need to collect some data

I find that style of writing to be very fucking underage and am I smelling a bit of woman?
Anyways, define experimental, Susie.
