in some cultures color is classified by the result of a multi place function like color*texture*contrast*shade
blue who are capable of seeing blue but have not learned what blue is do not see blue things. the color of blue things carries no meaning to them

I'm blue daba dee daba daa

But brain understands only RGB-oriented protocol with eyes.

>>9171770
Yes.
Place 100 cocentric circles on the plane where the circle with the largest diameter defines the extent of the plane.

This is a hack though since a plane is normally defined as having an infinite extent. Oh: homework?

Let Xn = (0.5n,0)
and Yn = (0,0.5n)
then define
Sn = B(Xn,0.6)
Zn = B(Yn,0.6)
Intuitively it is obvious no line exists that doesn't intersect one of these circles. Can you prove it?

Because there is an upper limit to the amount of brain mass the human body can support. Witten's physique is not structurally sound. You would need to cross his PHENOTYPE with a brainlet body builder's.

LOOK at him. He's spindly. I bet a light breeze upturns him head side down.

Soft eugenics. Nice. Life is variance; live the difference!

The poo circles the loo because I have decent sanitation in my country.

Brainlet thinks the sun "circles" the Earth. We all know Earth is flat and the sun arcs across the sky, transports to it's original position like a bowling ball after hitting the pins, and rises again the east.

it is an offshoot from the lack of an explanation for randomness in the universe

a brain with a memory of a tree is more likely to randomly arise than a world with a tree and a brain to observe it

there are like a million papers published each year, just throw shit like that out

I just recently published such paper. People can email me if they want to see the implementation or data sets.

Because the baby boomer generation never learned real math, which is just applied logic and critical thinking. Their idea of math is something different, a very basic and practical formal version of math.

>>9171207
I dislike cc because it doesn't treat math any different it has for the last 50 years. It's still just plug and chug, rather than logic and reasoning.

A rose by aNY other name

It's only useful for multiplying large digits ie. hundreds or greater to a number somewhat near the actual which you would never need to do irl.

Isnt that just a mechanical wave?

>>9171509
Waves are displacement due to stress. Stress is a force that's distributed across a surface instead of a single concentrated point. The distinction between normal and shear stress just tells you which way the force is acting relative to the surface, with normal stresses acting perpendicularly to the surface and shear stresses acting parallel to the surface. You can describe stress in any direction relative to a surface as a combination of normal and shear components.

First of all, sick quads bro.
Second, I am by no means a qualified person to give advice, but machine learning is the big thing right now as far as I can tell. Optimization - I don't know exactly what a class called that would cover it could be a lot of things, but all of those things are honestly pretty easy to learn yourself or just use by looking up the algorithm/results. R is also a really, really helpful thing to know, whether you actually need it for your job explicitly or not. That's my take anon.

>>9171119
OP here. Thanks again :)

I try to channel my self hatred into an obsessive work ethic. I need to be punished. I can punish myself with sleep deprivation and frantic cramming of material.

Lol, this. Someday I'm going to turn into an emotionless robot that can only work, but like whatever.

w-what does that mean


everything in mechanics came to me so easy why is EM so hard

iq doesn't real

>>9170914
>A lot of what determines IQ is genetics based
>A lot
A lot ≠ all

>>9170914
When people say that IQ is largely genetic, they mean that a large fraction of the variance in IQ can be explained by genetic factors. If you think about it, that doesn't contradict at all the idea that IQ could drift massively over time -- because the explained variance is only with reference to a particular population in one particular snapshot of time.

sin(x)/x is undefined at x = 0, but the limit of it as x approaches 0 is 1.

Is this bait for mathfags?

>>9170845
Do you even limit

It depends on how you define species, and the scientific community is inconsistent on this.

For instance, they call the Coyote and the Wolf different species even though they can breed together.

All taxonomic groups are essentially arbitrary. None are valid or invalid, they are basically just ways of organising/grouping multiple individuals to make patterns more easily understood.

>>9170830
eh that old "needs to produce non-sterile offspring" definition/classification doesnt hold too much anymore

>>9170703
>but that doesn't obviously doesn't fit here.
I cannot parse that one, sorry.

Anyways, some discussion of previous work is usually in order, especially if you intend to make comparative analysis.

>a review of an article
What do you mean by this exactly?

- A review, as in, an independent assessment that is meant to advise an editor of the quality of a submitted manuscript?
- An article that synthesizes a body of literature into a coherent framework?
- A commentary on a single published article?

The structure differs for all of these.
