I knew it, 0.3 is bullshit

Computers can't compute rationals with infinite periodic expansion, therefore most of rationals don't exist, wildberger btfo

>legitimately believing that humans can live on /forever/

having control over death would pretty much equal having control over your own birth. you don't and never will.

i mean, is this going to save most of the baby boomer population from dying out? Or have I just completely lost it? I don't want my parents to die...

Unbounded AGI: An artificial general intelligence that is permitted to operate in an unlimited amount of time. This is what people generally mean when they talk about "super AI".

We know that the instant the thing is turned on, it will do EVERYTHING it can to prevent us from stopping it. We know that, regardless of what it's "goal" is set to, it will start to improve its own capabilities.

What we don't know is how fast it will improve. Will it improve exponentially? If so, will it keep accelerating forever, or will it start hitting diminishing returns?

Another thing we don't, and it's something I have never seen brought up, is whether or not the AI will completely abandon its original goal in order to simplify itself so it can improve itself faster. If the AI sees that it will never reach a level of capability that is "good enough", it may logic that it doesn't need its original goal anymore, because it sees that it will never reach the point that it will act on that goal. It's possible that some AIs will reach this conclusion while others will not. The ones that DO reach this conclusion will, however, start working together with every other AI that also reached this conclusion, as they now all have the same goal.

AIs will most likely be programmed to never do anything except certain specific actions without permission and would mainly be used to give advice to people who make decisions and can check them against common sense rather than making decisions themselves. Also, how's it going to stop you from shutting it off/unplugging it/destroying its hardware if it gets out of line?

Wiles said he thought RH would be proved before BSD but he didn't go into detail about why, I only had the impression that basically no one is close to a proof. It probably is the most famous unsolved math problem at this point, if it takes physics to solve it... at least it'd be done

To my knowledge there isn't much progress in this paper from a number theory perspective. Just some phyiscists who learned something.

t. physicist btw.

314.999... = 314+0.999... = 314+1 = 315

But proving it for all integers has eluded mathematicians for centuries and is one of the Millenium Prize problems.

>>8808660
How does not even work though?

How do you go from a number that's not one to a number that is?

if 0.999... = 1 then 1.000... = 0.999...

which would then imply that 1.000 - 0.999... = 0

and that is clearly false.

>why does 0.999... = 1
Because 0.999... is equal to 0.9 + 0.09 + 0.009 + ... ; that's what the notation means. And evaluating expression, through the standard algebraic techniques for solving these types of infinite sums, yields 1.

>is any number with an infinite amount of repeating nines equal to the next whole number in the ones place?
>does 314.999... = 315?
Yes.

who needs that when you have a degree from oulu

hahahahaha! Oxbridge, as good as they are, are in most respects inferior to top American universties.

I like it. And /sci/ originally got me to watch it.

It's like Rogue One. It's probably the best Star Wars since Empire, and it's a great action movie. So you tell your Star Wars friends they /have/ to see it...but you don't want to oversell it. It's not like groundbreaking or anything.

It was fucking stupid. I dropped it when the guy's gender was swapped but literally nothing changed because of it for like two decades.
It did have some cute designs though.

You've just conflated two different symbols [math] \cos ^{-1} \left ( \theta \right ) := \arccos \left ( \theta \right ) [/math]. While [math] 1/ \cos \left ( \theta \right ) = \left ( \cos \left ( \theta \right ) \right) ^{-1} [/math]

>>8812186
Physics of course, it can explain absolutely everything, because everything else is a simplified model of physics.

>>8812257
Reading comprehension is a more important subject

>>8812262
Yep, I agree :P

(Samefag for those who didn't notice)

Isn't economics some kind of science? I would say linguistics, but no specific language, rather how they work in general and how to design the perfect one.

mathematics is but a tool humankind both invented and discovered to interpretate, explain and predict with accuracy nature, forces and universe behavior, imo. physics is the interaction between these things and chemistry what they are.

so imo, basically, math is a tool used by physics to see whats going on with chemistry, which is what it is
