ITT solve the math problem of the person above you and post a harder problem.
I'll start with an easy one

B
Let [math]f^n(0)[/math] denote the nth iterate of [math]f[/math] applied to 0. Find a computable function [math]f[/math] such that the set [math]\{ f^n(0) : n \in {\bf N} \} [/math] is not computable.

legit not enough info. tell me the right answer and i'll tell you why it's wrong
now answer mine
What is the science behind lucid dreaming ?
Have you ever experienced a lucid dream ?
How to lucid dream ?
I remember my dreams nearly every night, and most of those I'll know that I'm dreaming (aka lucid). Problem is it's so common for me that the knowledge is sort of background so I'm normally too lazy to try and go fully lucid. It's a trip when you do though.
>>9076455
Lucid dreaming is not hard, the key is to recognise your own dreamscape. The easiest way to do this is to keep a dream journal, just have some paper and a pen by your bed and when you wake up write down everything you remember about your last dream, even if its just a feeling or a single image / sound. As you record more and more of your dreams like this, you will come to recognize features of them when you are dreaming, and thus be able to "wake up" inside your dream.
It's a hallucination of godhood as your body shuts down to regenerate.
>study for 12 hours a day for a month
>get 65% overall in my 1st year exams at university
>that guy who studied for only a few hours and still managed to get over 80% in his exams despite having an active social life and was in a relationship
Die with the rest brainlet.
>>9075937
depends on the quality of studying too. If you study for 12 hours with loud distracting music and constantly being interrupted, it could have been worse than studying for just 2 hours of laser focus.
also someone will always do better than you. You'll always do better than someone else (or you shouldnt be in college). comparing yourself isnt really helpful
>>9075937
I have met a few of these super humans. Everything is trivial for them.
Still, you can get quite far with hard work, slogging it through the problems. In the end I got a PhD.
So whatever happened to this thing? Was it confirmed? Debunked as fake?
I haven't heard anything lately at all.
>>9075158
Memed.
Some anon pointed out that publishing science is all about prestige, how to get included in Nature, etc.
less than 0.5% experiments researchers conduct are repeats of previous experiments (because it's hard to get published if you just check someone's math).
So going by that logic, any attention is better than no attention.
That's where the troll comes in. A troll won the US presidency, and a troll """""invented""""" the EM drive.
And for whoever created this churchbell with a microwave soldered to it, it got them the attention they craved.
>>9075238
You sound like fake news. Just say what actually happened, faggot. That it was tested in a vacuum and nothing happened. Nobody believes it works at this point.
>>9075238
Wut?
Is IQ genetic?
>>9074823
Yes.
AYOOO HOL UP
*SMACK DONUT LIP
>>9074823
Loaded question.
So what is it?
>>9071647
a variation in the density of matter distributed during the initial expansion of the universe. or your mom's naughty place, hard to say.
Glitch in the simulation
Preparing to fire his laser. Props if you're an oldfag and get that lol
Do STEM fags actually believe this? There are no jobs for "God tier."
I mean when was the last time you've heard of a math major getting a job.
who said that that chart was about vocational prospects
>>9055821
If it's in god tier that should really be a factor.
>>9055814
>engineering in God Tier
yep, thats the joke
anyway, if you get a degree in maths and cant find a job, then maybe, just maybe you got a lil bit ahead of yourself and aint too bright, dumb goy.
Suppose that I have a small, high efficiency solar panel inside my house connected to a lightbulb outside the house. The solar panel is powered by ambient light from the window and the interior lighting. I close a switch, allowing the solar panel to power the lightbulb outside the home.
Does the room get colder?
>>9080528
Here is that reply you wanted
>>9080553
I didn't just want replies, I also wanted an answer.
My gut feeling was that the answer would be yes, but imperceptibly so.
The questions is essentially if whether the solar panel absorbs heat right?
Why do economists never take into acount future demographics?
>>9080518
it doesn't fit their agenda
because it's raycist
1. They do.
2. I don't think you know what that word means.
In group therapy today, I tried explaining that mental illness can be more than just 'serotonin machine broke'. Individualization of these issues says nothing about their causation. If it is true, for instance, that depression is constituted by low serotonin levels, what still needs to be explained is why particular individuals have low levels of serotonin.
Everyone looked at me like I was speaking in tongues. I tried to explain to them that mental illness has been individuated to the person with the illness (YOUR chemicals are imbalanced), leaving no room for the fact that there may be bigger, problematic, social/political/economic issues at play here. >feeling sad
nice blogpost
They were like, you mean like corruption. I'm like no that has nothing to do with corruption,and then was told it does no good to think about those things, baka.
The mentally ill are just a cash cow for the big pharma companies they should all be gassed en masse.

Should I join Mensa? I know Asimov said it was a meme but is it worth the membership fees and shit?
>>9080217
Depends how much you value validation
I love the idea that there are things that man was not meant to know, and unwise dabbling in forbidden knowledge could drive a person insane, or knowledge that is so alien or complicated it basically causes the brain to crash.
Do you think it's possible?
Has it ever occurred?

Do Americans go to college for education or to party?
it depends on their major
STEM = study
Liberal arts = to fuck and drink
>>9079846
They go to college because they're idiots who want to enslave themselves with debt.

What are the best drugs/ supplements for brain fog?
>>9079774
A bullet
>>9079774
Ritalin / dexamphetamine are pretty good.
Course sometimes if you've got fog it just means you need to eat a sandwich and take a nap.
GUESS
Broke one of these earlier today .. the thing was on when it broek and I was groggy having only been awake a few minutes.
I quickly unplugged it and put the lamp outside then set about picking up wht glass on the carpet with some dishwashing rubber gloves on and put them in a trash barrel in the kitchen.
I read the EPA guidlines for sfae clean up of these things and did two things you're advised against.
I turned on the central AC thinking the break was very close to the intake duct filter and could draw particulate from the locus and I vacuumed.. to be certain I got all the glass.
I did warp a T shirt around my face and nose while doing all this as I was aware there is Mercury in these bulbs.
Just wanted to ask how dangerous this really is.
In reading on-line I find the mercury filling obsessives talking about DMSA chelation; https://www.dmsachelation.com/
for as much as a year.. I took some NAC I had with selenium and a few Brazil nuts as I have heard Se inhibits Hg neurotoxicity.
On a scale of 1-Aaaahhh how freaked out should I be at this point?
Oh I also didn't open the sliding door I have in my condo for about five hours at it was fairly humid.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2538682/
Se doesn't block Hg... you can't take anything to mitigate possible damage... best you can do is hope your inhalation of the heated vapor for the few seconds before unplugging the bulb was very low and the bulb had been used for a long enough time to have transformed the mercury somewhat making it less toxic... if the bulb wasn't brand new in other words the HG may be less harmful.. also being a newer than 3008 manufacture will have a smaller mercury content..
There's less mercury in one of those bulbs than in the average portion of fish you eat.
The concerns are the bulk build up in the environment, breaking a bulb even every day literally poses no risk to your health.
