Where's the cure for baldness? They said it was only 5 years away.

Schopenhauer WANTED his hair to look like this. It was his WILL that made them fall out.
Get implants if you want more hair.

Suicide. Bald """people""" are God's mistake.
>>8799125
there is a cure for baldness already. it is a pill you take daily and it works better if taken preventatively.
well /sci/?
what even
old shoop, sage and move on
don't give this fag the (You)s
>>8798827
Both answers equally correct? That's why in 15 years there will be people on the Internet posting 0.99... /= 1. The default rule is: from left to right. 1 would be 20 / (5 (2*2) ) = 1
Have sci ever experienced gender dysphoria? Many of you are pretty vocal about transpersons, but can you really put yourself in their shoes?

When I was five I asked my mom why I can't marry my best friend and then I put on a dress
My mom said 'because boys don't do that'
It made sense
>>8798514
most of us are busy doing actual stuff to have time to feign made up conditions on the internet

To answer your question OP, No I can't put myself into the shoes of a mentally ill person, but then again I believe the spartan ideology when it comes to them.

Why do so many people unironically believe a nuclear war could destroy all of mankind?
>>8798316
As always, propaganda.
Most people don't have the means or the motivation to look things up by themselves, so they just believe what they're told.
>>8798316
>do we have enough warheads to nuke every square centimeter of the earth's surface?
not yet but almost
>are there countries with nuclear warheads that will likely not get involved a nuclear war?
yes a few
>how many nuclear warheads does it take to make a nuclear winter long enough to starve off 99.99999% of humans?
not many
>>8798316
because the guys who made those weapons churched it up to dissuade people from using them.
if they were all "ehh, won't be that bad" then some general/politician would be more apt to use them. same kind of sensationalism is going on with climate change.
Are paradoxes only created by self-reference? Do non-self-referencing paradoxes exist?
Aren't all paradoxes just wordplay caused by the vagueness of expression? Do any paradoxes exist that can not be settled by defining them properly?
>>8797876
do Kant's Antinomies count?
>>8797884
Looks like wordplay to me. Does he even provide one single paradox, those are just pairs of contradictory statements, nowhere does he imply that any of them are true, only that both can't be true, and even then exact definitions of the used words will reveal loopholes.

let it be known that AI is just a scam to make the public interested in a bunch of boring computer-related shit.

If that's a genuine question then they are still denoting things rather than being the things themselves. You can, say, mathematically represent all the properties of an apple on a computer, from the exact measurements of its shape to the closest possible HEX code for its color and maybe even run a detailed CGI render of the apple, but you would still be looking at a simulated apple rather than an actual apple.
Can Elon Musk really make space travel great again? Or is he just being set up to be the fall guy just to prove that the private sector can't do shit without the government's help?
he'll be at the forefront of the sector for a while, don't forget several other companies are in the proverbial race here
>>8794605
True, but Musk is basically the poster child for the private sector space race.
in what way would he be the fall guy? spacex has been doing fine so far
We will almost certainly all be dead before interstellar travel is a reality. When it does happen, though, we will have hundreds of billions of stars to choose from. This galaxy, Segue 2, only has ~3000 stars. Can you imagine spending centuries on the development of interstellar travel only to have a couple thousand possible destinations? Humanity did alright in the galactic lottery.
>>8801952
>Galactic lottery
Why do you assume it was random chance?
Why do you think God put us here? It was all planned
>>8801952
Once intergalactic travel is made possible we'll immortalize ourselves due to relativity
Ok /sci/, it's been a while since I've taken a math course and searching google has been fruitless. How would I go about solving the equation of the form
ax + by + cz = dxyz
where x, y, z are real positive integers and a, b, c are real constants. if the RHS was zero or a constant, that wouldn't be an issue, but the variables are mixed there.
where would I start?
>>8801815
Solve it for what? There's one equation and 7 unknowns.
>>8801819
Sorry, solve for sets of x,y,z that satisfy the equation. a,b,c are known constants.
>>8801815
I'm not sure if this is what you're after but you might want to take a look at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diophantine_equation
or do you want to solve the equation explicitly for one particular variable?
Is nanotechnology a meme? Am I just going to waste 4 years of my life for a burger flipping job or does it have a future?
>>8801588
Nanotechnology is not a meme, however, a nanotechnology degree is a meme.
Pretty much all the stuff you'd expect out of your japanese animes is not being done under the name of nanotech, and in fact is being done under the name of chemistry.
Or in the name of junk-science.
Nanotech is the future
Okey guys, I need major help. :/
I need to solve this:
"throwing 5 six sided dices, what is the probability, that sum on 4 of them will be 11?"
I tried to use Bernoulli scheme and binomial distribution, where will be n=5 attempts (number of dices), and k=4 successes (because only 4 of dices we are taking into result). There are 104 possibilities for sum 11 on 4 dices.
but my results are absurd. I think that this method is wrong.
Please /sci/ does someone know how to solve it?
P.S. on a picture is my cat
>>8801442
get out of here with this shit. /sci/ is for pop psych personality and rationality quizzes.
start by finding the entire range of possible sums weighted by their probability of occurring
>>8801469
already did that, possibility for 11 on 4 dices is 104/1296, but question is how to find the possibility of sum 11 on 4 dices when you are throwing 5 dices.
With 5 dices there is 7776 possible outcomes, so... Counting them one by one would be more than insane.
Who was the greatest non-modern thinker and why was it Euclid? (I'm hesitant to say 'ancient' because I'm referring to anyone whose works were 1700 CE or prior)
>Elements
Nuff said
>>8801120
>Arbitrarily picking pre 1700 to exclude best-boi Euler
>not saying Euler
you suck
Literally none.
What humanity achieved from -100'000 BCE to 1900 was 1%.
What humanity achieved from 1900 to 2017 is 99%.
I would say that persons like Rihanna, David Getta, and Justin Bieber produced more value than this Euclöd guy, whoever she is
Since the correct spelling of Euler is Oiler, shouldn't we also spell Euclid as Oiclid?
How do I git gud at geometry starting from the very basics? I can do all of the computations, but I don't have a very strong intuition for shapes and shit.
>>8801031
Read Euclid's The Elements

Idk if this is the right board or not but does anyone have any experience programming CMM?
I have an interview soon for the position of CMM programmer/operator, I'm an ME major, I've used AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks, but don't know a thing about CMM
I'd really like to get this position and know what I'm talking about during the interview, can I learn CMM more or less in a few days? How should I go about this?
>>8800827
what do you know about machining? General Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is what you should google.
do you have access to CAM software (gibbsCAM, MasterCAM)? because the toolpathing is pretty similar to the programming a CMM machine gets. learn G-code.
good luck nigga, a good CMM operator makes fuckin' bank.
>>8800838
I dont know anything about machining, I'm a sophomore
I'm reading about gd&t now and am pirating GibbsCAM right this second, and reading about g-code
Seems like a lot to learn
I guess they liked my resume, hopefully they're willing to train some, though the job posting does say experienced in gd&t and cmm is a requirement
>>8800854
>I dont know anything about machining
you might be in trouble then
>am pirating GibbsCAM
that might not do you any good. most pirated versions won't post good code. the post processor is the "money" of the software and is a very fluid little file.
does your school have a machine shop? i'd recommend getting your ass down there and looking at the manual devices for doing GD&T. once you put your hands on a dial indicator and height gauge and run them across some parts, it all makes sense. at least it did for me.
