How did the brain evolve the ability to collapse quantum functions, in order to select realities in which survival is more likely?

Stop this shit. It is objectively bad compared to a good textbook and under-prepares students for anything algebra.
Stop recommending numberphile. it's objectively bad compared to a good class and under-prepares students for anything number theory.

It's a supplement you dipshit. You go to class and then if you still don't get it you watch three 6-minute videos on your shit. It's used for brainlets struggling in school.
That said, he makes some interesting insights and connections that my instructors never mentioned

Does anyone here actually enjoy science or is it the only escape from the absurdity of existence?
No, not everyone is as depressed and directionless as you

The escape one
Thoughts when looking at those fantasy worlds: If a world is thousands or millions of times wider than earth and have normal day/night circle, how it's structure could be?
For example a ring world will not have normal sunrise/sunset and giant planet will have too fast rotation speed
>>8939234
>If a world is thousands or millions of times wider than earth
it's automatically not a planet anymore but a star and pretty fucking big one at that
>>8939234
The rotation would be very slow, the wider it is the slower it can be to maintain 1g.. The atmosphere would block most of the surrounding scenery in the distance. Looking up, you'd be able to see the rest of the ring though. Like a far away arch over you disappearing into the distance somewhere through thick atmosphere. Dusk and dawn would look like a flat eclipse when they start.
I think if you read the Ringworld series of books you may get most of your answers.
>>8939259
Sorry I tried to say:
A ring world could have enough surface area, but will not have normal sunrise/sunset because of it's form, so not feasible
A giant planet which have 100 times diameter than earth could have enough surface area, but to maintain 24hours day/night circle it's surface rotation speed will be very fast
Why is it not enough to know the rotation of a vector field, but also its divergence to fully determine it?
make up a vector field with rotation 0.
make up a different one, also with rotation 0.
done.
there's nothing like a quick savvy reply to make you think "well that was stupidly simple" about your question
For the same reason
[math] f(x_0) = 4 [/math]
doesn't determine [math]x_0[/math] for
[math] f(x) := x^2 [/math]
How do I make it stop /sci/ ?
I thought, maybe, as I get older, it would go away, but it just doesn't.
Here's my latest thought process.
"Yeah, so is you assign a topology to your neural network, maybe it would give some result if you... tits are great aren't they? I'd sure like to fondle some right now...
Whait, I was thinking about neural networks, what was it? Yeah, topology! Although axons can run almost your body length, most of them are short sighted and don't even reach a few cm in your brain, so if I set up a distribution... you know what, maybe Pamela was hitting on me when she "accidentally" had me touch all over her belly and boobs yesterday. I'd sure tap that ass if I... Wait, I was thinking of something. How brains work... let's see. Oh yeah neurons connections. I'm not sure topology would add anything to neural networks, but I'd like to try it just in case. The only thing is how do I parallelize this task for my gpus to gobble up. I'm not sure the random memory access will... It felt great, you know? she's kind of a bitch, but maybe I should try learning what she likes, so I can touch them again...
It goes on, and on. At most it's maybe 5 minutes of undisturbed pure thinking.
It's just killing me. When I was younger, I could think straight for hours.
Any drugs out there for it? I'm sure I'm not the only one.

anyone tried it? do you think that daily masturbation can negatively affect health?
I recently read on /pol/ that sperm is carried in cerebrospinal fluid and that fapping too much will deplete this fluid aswell as your mana
On the other hand I have read many times that regular masturbating greatly reduces the risk of (male) prostate cancer.
So /sci/, is nofap grounded in science or is it just a meme?
>>8937486
I think porn addiction had more influence on your psyche than the act itself of masturbation.
>>8937486
like sleep, diet, etc, its all about a rational level where you control your behavior rather than relinquishing that control to your animal instincts
nice bait post though, had lots of mana
>>8937486
No way this isn't bait

How sophisticated a machine has to be to replace:
General practitioner
Radiologist
Dentist
Surgeon?
How far are we from robodoctors?
>>8932319
I thought we already had machines that can google for directions.
>>8932319
just a small bump
>>8932319
Probably not in our lifetime.
Surgeons won't be replaced by robots, they'll be replaced by regenerative medicine. Stem cells are key to this but they still have huge problems with heterogeneity, tumorigenicity, controlled differentiation, etc. They still can't even deliver them properly to target locations, they go all over the body.
Radiologists are being replaced...by doctors in India who read film for you, but hopefully President Trump will fix that. In terms of machine learning / computer detection, it's pretty far away. Some radiology tests produce a ton of data, and it's very difficult to do it for a general population.
GPs will probably be replaced by NPs or PAs. They cost less and less doctors want to become a GP for that low of a salary. (why make 160k a year after 12 years training and work crazy hours when you can be a PA or NP in two years and make 100 - 120k a year and work basically 9 to 5. )
Mathematicians here ?
I'm having a real trouble with this Integral :
[math]\int_{0}^{+\infty} \frac{1}{(1+t)^{2}(1+t^2)}[/math]
To simplify I tried to write it as :
[math]\frac{a}{(1+t)^{2}}+\frac{b}{(1+t^2)}[/math]
but found : [math]a=\frac{1}{2}[/math]
and couldn't find [math]b[/math] ??
Please help I got shit exactly like this in final test tomorrow
>>8940378
try more degrees of freedom with the first fraction like [math] \frac{at+b}{(1+t)^2} [/math]
if that doesn't work just look up method of partial fractions
>>8940382
ok what I did is to type : [math](1+t)^2(1+t^2)[/math] as
[math]t^4+2t^3+2t^2+1[/math]
and then I divided it by : [math]t^2+2t[/math] in order to find another way of writing it.
So in the end I found :
[math](1+t)^2(1+t^2)[/math] = [math](t^2+2t)(t^2+2)+1[/math]
and now I replace [math]t^2[/math] with [math]X[/math]
>>8940389
am I going the right way?
Consider equation [math]a^n+b^n=c^n[/math] for [math]a, b, c =0,1,2,...,\, n\gt2[/math].
Let [math]a=b=c=0[/math], it's clearly a solution of that equation. Now let [math]a=c=1, b=0[/math], this also solves that equation, so we know there are at least two solutions to that equation, despite the common claim that there are none

Guys I have a topology final tomorrow and I have only been to class for the tests, does anyone have a good book I can read through tonight to learn?

Brainlet here? What is the significance of proving this? I read the wiki but couldn't understand.
>>8939579
if true, then we know that a whole class of problems become more easily solvable, we just don't know how to solve them yet
>>8939594
But why? Can you explain in layman please?
>>8939600
you can ignore the mystical non-determinism stuff and think about it like this. a problem in P can be solved in polynomial time. a problem in NP can be checked in polynomial time, i.e. if i give you an already computed answer, you can check in polynomial time whether this answer is in fact correct.
so why does anyone think these classes are related? well basically computing is a young field so there was a ton of low hanging fruit, problems that seemed hard were solvable efficiently (in P) with simple strategies like greedy algorithms and memoization. for example dijkstra's shortest path algorithm, it's like the most obvious approach, an undergrad can prove it correct... you too could have an algorithm named after you if you had the foresight to be a computer science professor in the 1960s!
but there were still some problems where no known technique worked better in general than the brute-force strategy of enumerating all possible answers and checking each one. at first these problems were discovered independently, but researchers came to realize that they were all hard in the same fundamental way, and that any general polynomial time solution to one of them would work for all of them, so all of NP would be in P. that's what the NP-complete stuff is about
so there's a bunch of problems that a bunch of different smart people all thought they could solve efficiently, but none of them could do it, so it seems obvious that P != NP right? except nobody has been able to prove it, and they don't even really know how to go about attempting to prove it. math is hard
