what does cytosol taste like?
>>9059655
Salty milk and coins
>>9059666
The scent of chestnut flowers is a more accurate one. You get the 'salty milk and coins'-ish smell only with old smegma.
Where can I buy cytosol shakes?
When in class, should you answer all questions presented, correct people and show your full brain power; or should you keep quite to yourself, think alone and listen to brainlets talk?
Sit quietly and laugh internally at brainlets
you should show your full brain power.
Just answer after other people have failed ro respond, to reassure the teacher that there's still some hope for humanity, while not looking like a dick

What is cancer ?
>>9059148
The lack of water...
A miserable pile of cells.
an organic system that has lost control of its cells. you know when you have an arm and it's like "yeah it's on the right spot" but then you wake up and you're like "why is there a kidney growing on my shoulder"? that's cancer because the kidney cell tissue wasn't supposed to be triggered at that spot or at that time. stuff like that was supposed to be when you were a fetus and inside your lower ribcage. when your cells get the wrong signals and start to propogate out of control, or when they get the right signal at the wrong time, that's cancer, because cancer in the long run is your genetic code being misaligned in accordance to what our society deems a disorder. in reality, cancer is just part of the natural scheme of things because it prevents species from living long enough to produce genetic copies of itself with inferior survival traits, thereby circumventing functional extinction at the expense of a longer lifespan. it's like a systematic solution to when cells lose their Apoptosis, which can happen because your origin of replication of damaged. Therefore, the real core of cancer is our lifespan being pushed out bounds or genetic mutations.

why is it x+iy and not (x,iy)? why the "+" instead of a ","
>>9059032
Because their addition is necessary for their arithmetic. Multiply a complex by another complex, and the addition comes into play. Actually, anything that isn't multiplication/division by a pure real or addition/subtraction will make that addition sign important.
Sage for stupid question. Next time, take it to >>>/sci/sqt
>What is vector addition?
>>9059041
> Because their addition is necessary for their arithmetic
that's a shit explanation. you can say that addition is just as necessary for arithmetic with integers or real numbers, yet the cartesian coordinates are pairs and not sums: (x,y) not (x+y)
Has anyone figured out the scientific phenomenon behind 4chan? Why is it that when people start browsing that can't ever seem to leave?
It's way too much pleasure. We all want to socialize without anxiety. This is it. It's too simple to open your phone/pc and begin socializing, even with good friends they have to consent and then you have to drive over there and then leave when they want you too. This is pseudo friends on demand.
>>9058700
I'm actively trying to lower the quality of this site to encourage people to leave.
It's an unhealthy addiction.

What does "4chan" sound like?
Over the next hundred years are we more likely to destroy ourselves or reach a type one civilization?
In the next hundred years very little will change at all. Maybe some shit like VR will become more affordable and some automation but it's far from being what pop-sci infographics about "the next 100 years" tell us it will be like. I'd say we're at least dozens of millions of years from being a type 1 civ. And there's always a chance that anyday a global thermonuclear war or economic crisis can throw us back to stone age.
>>9058665
I'm going with neither
>>9058670
Look at how much Science and Technology have evolved in the past 100 years, the age of information is taking over right now.. and you really believe we're not going to change that much over the next hundred years?
Be honest, /sci/.
Why are you studying pure mathematics on the side?
I'm not talking to mathematics majors. I'm talking to everyone else. Those people who aren't going to have careers in academic mathematics.
If you aren't studying pure mathematics solely for your own enjoyment or enrichment, then you are wasting your time. Here's the reality: you are never going to contribute to pure mathematics as an amateur. You are never going to solve a significant problem. You are never going to contribute to a new theory. Moreover, if you are studying pure mathematics because you think that's what smart people do, then stop. That pursuit is utterly pointless. You won't be able to show off your "impressive" knowledge (keep in mind that you probably will only ever be able to learn the undergraduate curriculum AT MOST as an amateur) because anything you say will just be Greek to the layman. The layman's eyes will glaze over; they won't be impressed.
If you are attempting to learn pure mathematics, and you find that your eyes are glazing over like the layman, then put that damn textbook down and do something you actually like. You're not impressing anyone. You're not going to unlock any great secrets about the universe. Life is too short for bullshit that you don't like and won't help you. On the other hand, if you do like pure mathematics, or you are studying it full time and will therefore be able to contribute to it, then you are spending your time well.
>>9058564
Probably because I'm looking for a tool to apply to my non-pure mathematics problems?
You seem deeply, deeply frustrated about something. What is it? Did you reach a disappointment/realization in your study of Mathematics.
>>9058568
I'm not speaking to you, then. Your pursuit is purely pragmatic.
>>9058570
I'd say I am indeed, Mr. Freud. Really this is more of a note to self than anything. I keep trying to get into mathematics but I can never shake the feeling that it is fundamentally boring to me. I am coming to terms with the fact that I simply don't have an interest in studying abstract structures. My interests personally lie in more "tangible" things. I will let others study the abstract, and I will take whatever tools I need from their pursuits. Thanks for reading my blog.
Is this true, /sci/?
As an aside, do STEM graduates despise philosophy because the charm and eloquence of philosophers intimidate them?
>>9058313
Philosophy's nice, especially for those fucking gen ed requirements.
And bless symbolic logic.
But most of /sci/ sometimes read philosophy, but focused on their main subject like mathematical philosophy or physics philosophy, etc.
>hurr durr i'm the only person in the world
>hurr durr things move therefore jesus/god exists
>hurr durr to be or not to be
The reason why STEM people despise philosophy is because it's fucking stupid and philosophers are retarded pseudo-intellectual idiots who think they're smart asses and try to pass as master logicians-debaters-whatever-the-fuck that even people from other fields of humanities despise them, it's a terrible field, disgusting, there's nothing useful ever come from it. Fuck Philosophy and fuck philosophers.
>>9058380

I've come from /his/ and I cannot confirm this

lol what is literally any form of morality that you adhere to

I think this might be the case.

Since I am clean I intend on embracing school and getting good grades and I want to transfer to a 4 year university and get a math or a compsci degree.
However I am worried that those 8 failed classes will forever bar me from getting accepted to a university.
I don't know what to do.
I'm in the same boat except in my state I'm guaranteed admission if I finish junior college. I hope you manage to succeed because college seems to be a good way of weeding out anyone with an open mind that could actually contribute in a position of power. Never give up nigger

>>get cleaned from weed
CLEAN FROM WHAT NIGGA?
Shit that's like saying you clean from ice cream. Dumbass nigga. Weed doesn't affect you psychologically, weed doesn't affect you physically. Weed goes out pretty fucking fast too.
Let me tell you how it is
You a lazy ass nigga

Shit.

This probably isn't original but here I goes.
To create strong AI all we'd need to do is to create a full brain simulation. Everything relating to cognition would need to be simulated including the whole skull and nervous system.
You would need to capture every cell and its state perfectly and then simulate it. The simulation would need to run down towards the molecular level or at least to organelles. This would be a conscious being that you didn't design but instead replicated. Id say this is easier than simply building an AI from scratch. Why do more work when nature already made it for you?
I have no idea how you'd scan the brain in order to get all the required information. Perhaps Nanites if they ever become a thing(grey goo level) or perhaps some sort of extremely advanced MRI with a resolution far beyond anything we have now.
>>9057762
brains are contextualised/situated/embodied by their environmental inputs. They have a large impact on our brain structure and ultimately the kind of cognition that you mr. poster are looking for in a brain. Without these inputs, the brain wouldn't function properly i.e. look at disorders of amputation, sensory deprivation. Plus, the cognition that the brain is so good at works mostly in the context of these inputs since, essentially the neocortex (which is probably the bit you are most interested in) essentially makes inferences about the latent structure of its environment. That is where its skill and expertise comes from. Its not going to be able to do anything when its copied because its only going to work in the context of the environment it learned to represent.
all this simulation will do is create a simulation of some kind of severely confused mentally ill brain which won't do anything you want it to.
>>9057792
I can still think and feel emotions without a body. And who says you can't simulate a virtual environment for the brain? And this would be a brain of an already living person with memories and a personality.
>>9057762
Full emulation will probably take longer. It's the brute force solution that makes it inevitable but not the fastest time solution.
AI just needs to continue getting more complex, it will eventually gain more and more capabilities as it is doing now. Once enough layers are added it will reach an abstraction layer that is similar to sentience / general learning in humans.
What size of a cube of Styrofoam would it take to crush a human?
just use google moron
a metric cube supposedly weighs ~50 kgs
>>9057446
>Quoting a bike-helmet study published in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, he wrote that 235 kg (520 pounds) or 2,300 newtons of force would be needed to crush a human skull, almost twice as much force as human hands could possibly muster.
going off that 235 kg mark
>http://www.aqua-calc.com/page/density-table/substance/styrofoam
according to that, 1x1x1 meter cube of styrofoam is 50 kg. so you'd need like 4.75 cubic meters of styrofoam to have the weight necessary
Just a stupid question I thought of just now
Good lord. If you had any idea how horrible the future is going to be, you would have necked yourself a long time ago.

I too can make unfounded claims born from misshapen ideology. Even when being pessimistic many of your claims are completely contrary to current global trends - and the rest are simple fanciful fiction, a contrived projection to serve as fuel for ideology.
Cool book though, would recommend.
Also, the book makes a good case that superintelligent A.I. is unlikely in the next 100 years, because economic growth just doesn't work that way and intelligent systems are mind-bogglingly complicated spaghetti code that's far easier to port than to unravel.
>>9057184
What are you talking about?
The book makes no unfounded claims. It's all straightforward extrapolation of current trends and simplifying assumptions. You can do a robustness check, and the core scenario remains likely even if many of the surface details change.
