WTF with his obsession with killer IA ? Did he see the future ?

they probably actually created a decently intelligent AI in a backroom somewhere and it tried to "escape" or "invade" other systems at the lab and they got really freaked out and tried to stop it and it defended itself which was scary. so they scared

I think the fear is somewhat rational, but I also believe the world doesn't have a short supply of people, surely they could be of good use (robutts are expensive)

Statslet here.
Can someone please explain me the advantages of R over Python? I just cannot make sense of R's type system and syntax is ugly.
Does R provide better libs? What Actually do I miss if I use python only?
84 posts and 7 images submitted.

R was designed thinking about stats and python is general purpose. python is way more clean but for specific things you'll have to write way less code in R. If you are into stats, learn both. you probably miss little if you use python only

yes because you were not bright enough to compel your uni to help you financially.

My part time job is teaching first years Multivariate calc and linear algebra. I would've probably done it even if i didn't get paid, it helps me reinforce my knowledge on the topic.

No fucking way i'd get a McJob though, i'd rather just live on water and instant ramen.

>>9116264
Everything with a brain is conscious. Just to varying degrees depending on the size and complexity of said brain.
>>
>>9116264
bacteria, probably not
insects, yes

somewhere between those
>>
>>9116296
What determines the yes/no divide? Complexity?

Could consciousness go to higher planes if the human brain simply got more complex?

>>9115653

Most assuredly. In particular, the prime numbers, being complex, furnish an example of this.

>>9115656
Imaginary integers are isomorphic to integers so it could be a yes.

These pics are from NASA.

Our solar systems furnace is 332,946 times bigger than planet earth.
These pics prove that the sun is the main controller of earth's climate.
Natural climate change is real but manmade climate change is deliberately designed to deceive and defraud the public.
The climate hoax is a house of cards that inverts reality and enriches the criminal elite.

Don't bother

The warmies here are amazingly deluded. This is the SCIENCE board yet it has become infected with anti-science climate changers.

The simple fact is that carbon dioxide cannot cause rapid warming. The only examples of rapid warming in the history of earth are the PETM (when the sun turned into a yellow giant) and the End Permian (when an undersea asteroid shower destroyed methane hydrate, and the methane ignited when it reacted with the helium in the atmosphere and set the atmosphere ablaze)

Simple science but they are all green energy shills.
>>
>>9112907
But anon, when people discuss rapid warming, they just mean rapid relative to millions of years of change. Certainly, nothing other than the sun (or INTENSE volcanic activity) can appreciably change the temperature of the earth in a day, but when you're talking about temperature fluctuation within a hundred years that you'd normally see over a multi-thousand year timespan, there's cause for investigation, at the very least.
>>
>>9112907
Not everyone is deluded.
I'm skeptic.

There is data proving a worming.
And some models trying to explain it.
But the models could be wrong...

Look at South Korean nuclear and how they do so well.
>>
>>9112009
Because it is "scary" to the everyday person that doesn't understand just how great it can be and how "dangerous" it actually is. Also the plants take many many years to make in the US. If all focus went to nuclear maybe this would change, but at the moment it takes too long.
