What is the technical term for the areas on Earth from which a total solar eclipse is visible? Does the size of this area vary from eclipse to eclipse? How many designations are there for separate areas from which it is viewed (the area within the penumbra as pictured, for example).
Anybody else travelling to see it from the best spot?
>>9109728
fucked.
Path of totality, dickmunch
>>9109728
There's a sticky for this precisely so we don't have 10,000 threads about it.

you should find a different way to make investing decisions
They do it every single time, learn history.
Oh, wrong board.
Sorry guys
Is this a motherfucking

post this to your friends to teach them about quantum mechanics
It's of the utmost importance that my friends learn about quantum chromogeometry as it relates to the gendermagnetic spectrum.
Unfortunately most of the calculations are not resolvable by today's computers; everything is nonbinary.

I just want to say I appreciate this post.
As I understand it, a signal may be thought of as a vector in 3D space, with the respective axis being time, amplitude and frequency. Using a Fourier transform, one can convert a signal from a time-amplitude representation to a frequency-amplitude representation, and then back again using an inverse transform.
My question is why don't we have a method for converting a signal from time-amplitude representation to time-frequency representation?
>>9109415
Basically, time is just inverse frequency so there's no problem converting between the two because they'll always be continuous. If you convert frequency or time to amplitude, there's no guarantee the function will be continuous.
Another way to look at it is that a time-frequency dependence implies the signal spends more time in some time passage than others. We want the signal to be uniform across all time.

>>9109415
I dont know the exact math on this, but I have done a lot of signal processing programming, and I think I know whats up. >>9109440 knows whats up.
You cant have a continuous frequency domain, because frequency is by definition occurrence over time. You cant attribute a frequency to a point of time, because at any point there is no duration and therefore no frequency. You can only attribute frequencies to ranges of time.
which came first?

All laws are just conditions to the same formula.
[math] F= \frac{d}{dt} (m \dot{x}) [/math]
>>9109873
thats bullshit, only works in non relativistic situation and cant be applied to QM, plus it doesnt include the 3rd law. the real one is [math] F = \dot{p}[/math] and [math] \sum\dot{p} = 0[/math].
And the first ones just a definition of what a force is, forces are completely useless, all the 3 laws say are momentum is conserved, and the above works in special relativity, general relativity, quantum mechanics, everything. But that's also bullshit, its not a individual law, its just a special case of Neothers theorem, the real law is just 'Space is homogeneous', or more fully, 'space-time is homogeneous and isotropic'. There, thats one law which gives you newtons 3 laws, conservation of center of mass velocity, conservation of energy, conservation of angular momentum, plus it works for non relativistic, relativistic, QM, fields, particles, everything.

/d/ here, if you had needles hooked up to tubes, stuck those needles into a man's penis, and pumped blood in through those tubes, would his erection go beyond natural limits or would weird complications occur?
beyond natural limits is a great way of describing what would happen
Which interpretation of QM states that the more information one has on the state of the universe, the more one can predict it (up to complete determinism when the full state of the universe is known)?
>>9108698
Probably pilot wave theory, because of mah hidden values
>>9108703
What about the Quantum Bayesianist stuff?
>>9108698
Pretty sure you can't know the full state of the universe unless you exist outside of it multivac style.
Is this true?
>is data true
Yes
Its the meaning you give to, or the assumptions you derive from the data that are up for debate
I was late to order my solar eclipse glasses. Think this will work?
>>9108423
is it polarized?

At least theyll give you free shipping
Nah dude no balls just put on polarized shades and look at it or better yet just look at it
I recently posted here that using computer games as a vicarious mode of living implies that one accepts substitutes for reality, thus providing behavioral evidence that the world could be simulated.
But what does a "computer game within a simulation universe mean"? In a simulation, one takes the image, representation or depiction of something as an acceptable substitute of that thing itself, so a computer game in a simulation would be treated as though it were the simulation itself. The resultant effect is that the computer game is treated as though it were the simulation, but then the simulation would be treated as though it were reality.
This is something we can test out: a computer analogy to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, a made up rule of the simulation, is thus: The more certain you are where the pixels are (ie, the position of things), the slower you are to perceive the information represented (the momentum space).
Try it yourself and see what happens: does your reading speed increase or decrease as you change your screen resolution?
Correction to this:
>the slower you are to perceive the information represented
The less clearly one would be able to make out the information, not necessarily slower.
Does this picture speak the truth?
Inb4 >>>/pol/ I am making no claims, I know nothing about genetics.
No, go through a read the papers. These idiots can't read and make bogus claims about what the papers actually say.
Paper 1 is about evidence for genetic variation changing as we left Africa, but in the conclusion also say any patterns in variation are due to drift and not significant.
Paper 2 flat out says that SIRE doesn't pefecly match genetic tests, and can only fit it in some cases.
Paper 3 is something about immune system genetics
The conclusion of paper 4 also says that there is not significant genetic difference between any races.
The entire middle section is just garbage about SAT scores and SEC.
As for 6, all those papers are really old. After 2007 it was found ASPM and MCPH1 have nothing to do with IQ or any other mental trait like illness.
Volkmar and Piffer are pyschology profs that only got their garbage published in obscure psychology journals. They only try to show correlations between things and don't have any real training in genetics, just like the other hacks from the 70s like Rushton.
The entire thing is garbage. Learn to find and read the sources and think for yourself.
I also forgot to mention, the skull they try to label as "australian aboriginal" is actually not a human a skull.
>>9108290
Yes. There are different genetic/racial groups of humans and those groups have different phenotypes.
For some reason people are shocked by this.
Study thread?
What are some good tips on studying and making the most of your time? I always find linking things rather than just memorising or looking at certain things individually helps me.
How often do you study per day/per week? How do you best divide time between subjects?
Don't study any particular subject for more than 2 hours a day. Returns diminish and you get the added bonus of driving yourself insane. Unless you're on amphetamines. In that case, study as much as you fucking want.
I make a kind of study calendar and syllabus.
Things I need to study are organized into packets which require about the same time to study, I then schedule a time to study them, increasing or decreasing the time before the next study session based on how much I remembered.
In his way I efficiently commit it to long term memory. It is better than cramming for hours before an exam months after you last looked at it.
>>9108162
Fuck how do I even cultivate that level of discipline.
understanding math formulas
i consider myself one standard deviation more intelligent than the avg person (and i could name a few interdisciplinary accomplishments to prove that)
yet when i decided to get into machine learning - and not just learn some software packages but actually understand the concepts behind it - i quickly realized that i totally suck at math.
i mean i flip through a book on ML and it's full of this kind of stuff and i have not a CLUE IN HELL what it means.
what would be the best way to get started to understand mathematical notations?
mind you, i understand the operators, like the brackes, the dividing line, what the E sum means
but i do not understand the actual meaning of the formula
and those books are full of them and dont explain anything (not blaming them, i know it's my fault not to understand)
---
so basically my question is:
do i just have to focus my ass and keep reading books on ML and at some point it will make click and ill understand
OR
do i need to start at some far more basic, unrelated topic (sth like advanced calculus idk)?
---
would there be any quick-to-consume literature i could check out? i tried searching my uni's library for "uni math for beginners" or "math formulas for beginners" but didnt find anything
thanks in advance!

>E sum

>math is about formulas
dog I don't give a shit about the "interdisciplinary accomplishments" you got from being on the honor roll of your back end high school, you are clearly either a brainlet or 15-16 years old. You jumped into material that's too advanced for you and think the material is only advanced because the notation is intimidating, it's not, it's advanced because it's advanced. If you're going to learn a new subject, start from the beginning.
>what would be the best way to get started to understand mathematical notations?
how about studying some math?

are canker sores the result of a lack of vitamin B12?
(((Vitamin B12))) is an illuminati trick designed to calcify your perineal gland.
sometimes when i drink emergen-c often i get palpitations. i read online this might be because of b vitamins, is this true? has anyone else experienced this?
