what the fuck are you talking about nigga
>>7757567
go read stewart calculus
then bartle and sherberts real analysis
then follands real analysis
then jacod and protter probability essentials
then rogers' 2 books on diffusion markov processes and martingales
then lees 3 books on manifolds
then some statistics and information theory books
read and understand and apply them
you will also be a stud muffin mathematician and set for life

You, sir, are in fact the individual who has dun gooft.

1. speed up 3 hour movie by x4
2. movie becomes 180 / 4 = 45 minutes long
3. upload movie to youtube
4. change speed to 0.25 on youtube settings
5. 180 minute movie has been compressed to the size of a 45 minute movie
Wow, yer some kind of genius . dot
What about sound? Wouldn't it be a bit distorted even if you speed it up with the movie
>>7757325
Your lowering the framerate to do that.
Is it possible for decision trees to split a set of data into subsets where the sum of the entropies (weighted respectively) of each subset will be greater than the original entropy of the set?
I know its a bit contrived, but can there be a scenario where I would need to worry about negative information gain?
Or will this not be a problem and all I have to do is plug and chug and only minimize entropy after, without worrying about its relationship to entropy before?
>inb4 goto /g/, /g/ cant even into entropy apparently
bump
>>7757093
stop bumping your shitty thread
where did you learn about entropy that allows negative information gain?
where did you learn about entropy or information gain that causes you to ask

just a student thats having a bit of trouble with yesterdays material, jesus christ
let x = {0,0,0,1,1,1}
is there a y that is a subset of x such that the entropy is greater in y
A friend of mine said "I think we shouldn't invest in space exploration while there are hunger people on the world". How do I answer her?
>>7756882
By that logic we shouldn't be doing anything BUT feeding the hungry people.
>>7756882
"why are you still feeding your kids as tons of people needs their food a lot more ?"
Or, in a more rational way, "are these mutually exclusive or hindering each other ?"
her point of view is naive
in the short term, not spending money on other things and spending it on hungry people helps the problem, but only temporarily and for as long as you continue to do it
in the long term, spending money on technology and exploration results in advances which reduce the amount of hungry people permanently, while also improving the well being and living conditions of everyone else permanently
if the people who made decisions were as naive as her, we'd still be living in the dark ages with many, many more hungry people and needless...

Ok. In this thread we talk about the ideal CS program. Since everyone is very critical about CS. It might be more productive to identify what it is that can be taught to them that would make you respect their workload?
>>7756609
A good CS major should look like this
>Required
Programming
Data Structures
Algorithms
Digital Logic
Computer Architecture
Programming Paradigms
Operating Systems Theory
Advanced System and Network Programming
Programming Languages and Compilers
Theory of Computation
Professionalism, Ethics, Risk-Assessment and Legalities
Personal Grooming and Hygiene (Seminar)
Technical Writing
Linear Algebra
Vector Calculus
Ordinary Differential...

Just abolish CS as a major, and instead make it a specialization within either maths or physics, for students who have taken all the basic courses.
>>7756626
All those classes are great and all, but there is a finite amount of time one can spend in school. You can't cover all the math topics you listed, only around half of them and slightly touch on the others. It would be a 5-6 year degree for an undergraduate if you followed your requirements.
I predict as things like synthetic telepathy and brain to brain communication develops as a science that mind control and mind warfare will experience a renaissance spurned by the new combat possibilities that this new arena and battle field that is the mind offers.
My question is, are you and your fellows prepared for the mind control renaissance?
Are you ready for the ultimate hive-mind that will emerge form this renaissance?
clock's ticking.

My thoughts are so deep and dark, they'll traumatize everyone who reads them.
>>7756429
just because your mind can receive messages from another brain doesn't mean your mind will obey it as an instruction you twat
>>7756440
Yes it does.

I think, and you do it.
Did anyone know that if you fall into a black hole, and if somebody were to watch it happen, all they see would be you touching the horizon and then the image of your body will appear to be frozen like a computer screen, then your body would fade away until they can't see you anymore? They wouldn't be able to see you actually enter the black hole. Any other cool facts or any thoughts?
>>7756351
you would have turned into pieces long before that
>>7756361
Actually that IS true, but not long before. From the perspective of a person viewing this whole incident, they would not be able to see any of that occur, just you freezing and slowly disappearing. YOU on the other hand, would be experiencing the scientific term known as spaghettification. (Also known as being stretched apart so much with the worst pain ever, that you would stretch out into you are nothing anymore, ripping all your cells apart violently.)
Whoops, I meant until. Not into ^
Should more people start smoking weed in general? It looks like it has zero negative effects. Even pregnant women are reporting that their kids are actually more sociable when they smoked weed while pregnant.

DUDE WEED LMAO
I DON'T NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL ANYMORE BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LIFE
IT'S JUST THE BUREAUCRACY AND THE RICH ELITES KEEPING ME FROM REACHING MY DREAM OF BECOMING A SUCCESSFUL BILLIONAIRE
>>7756196
Guess I can't expect a rational answer from /sci/ due to their pharmaceutical and GMO loving crowd. Why bother?

Nothing will get done properly.
So /sci/,
Did you chase your dream and chose the degree that you had intrinsic passion in?
And how is it going?
Tfw Astrophysics, awaiting doom.
Yes.
Physics (and Materials Science)
Physics makes my life miserable in every way imaginable so I might still jump ship to Materials full-time.
Originally I was supposed to do ChemE but I'm happy I didn't, at least for now.
>>7756173
Yes, I majored in physics. Fuck this degree.
I was, then I switched to chem e because I want to stack that paper.
Can we take a moment to discuss the prospect of nanotechnology?
We have plenty of art forms depicting this new, very possibly revolutionary idea. Science fiction is usually just hints for what's next, as we've seen over time.
Share your ideas, concerns, concepts around laws of dynamics and such. This is something, I believe, we should really focus on.

Nanomachines are impossible son. you can't program something which is too small to have a circuit board or storage drive.
does every virus duplicate itself?
>>7756039
What's with all these virus threads?
Anyway, yes
>>7756039
Kind of the very definition of a virus actually,
>A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms.
Otherwise, you'd just call them, "OP", because they don't reproduce using any method.
Viruses are fucking gay
>pseudo-code in math paper
Just squint a bit and it's Python
>>7755929
Algorithms are the only relevant result of all mathematical endeavors.
>should have chosen a particular language
You're right, it's pretty important to alienate the vast majority of poeple who don't use that language daily and so have to look up what stuff means.
Ebay don't know how to calculate percentage
>>7755847
They probably use "More than " + ceil(sold/total) + "% sold!!1!" or something allong those lines. Blame the CS majors etc.
>>7756081
Thanks for the input! That explains the strange number.
They should have used "floor" together with "More than."
I blame marketing/sales since I'm a MS CS myself :)
