I'd say,

"You just don't understand it. But don't worry, I'll take it to a real genius like Mochiyuki who can comprehend ideas this profound."

If you wanna get that reductionist, literally fucking everything everywhere all the time forever is "applied mathematics".

>>9145322
But then... what is mathematics?

Man, I'm trying to stop being a fucking div so I can apply some CSS.

I'm not a fucking developer though, just an engineer.

>polygenetic origin
eh?

>>9145320
No. But if it DOES turn out to be a hominin, then faster radiation than previously theorized would be on the table.

>>9145292
I really don't buy the 'convergent evolution' explanation. I mean, a biped ape/primate unrelated to hominins with nearly human-like feet would likely belong to a relatively big taxomic group, which would certainly leave some traces behind. But nothing in the fossil record indicates the existence of such a group of creatures.

This is really something.

>Affirmative Action makes zero sense under any context.
wrong, it makes sense after enslaving and committing hundreds of racist atrocities towards the black community and then somehow expecting them to just be fine as soon as you a few laws say that they're equal

It makes 0 sense even if they were fully black/white/whatever. If anything we should be promoting the demographics with lower %s of things such as drug use, even though it would be unfair with the people of the demographic that don't fall on the average.

The positions of the maxima are changing because the (1-x) term changes faster than the sin term close to the sine's peaks. Exponential decay would do the job, but won't be linear.

I don't mind exponential decay, but is there a single exponent that will preserve the times of the peaks and troughs?

>>9144613
e^(- alpha x)

what level ?
middle school for the retarded ? learn to use Sigma and write the sum without computing the closed form
college ? compute it, even if it's not asked it shouldn't be too hard I guess

I tutor children at all levels from all over the world; this particular example was for K-1 students.

I find it to be a poorly formed instruction that is probably a simple mistake on their part, but I wanted to find out if this wasn't some kind of regional misunderstanding.

If it is just a quirk of the language found in a specific region, I'd like to know that and be able to research it so that I can explain it rationally to people.

Do you want to give up 4 years of your life, dedicating an hour a day studying a language, and all the time required to learn how to go about learning a language and acquiring materials, just for that? It's quite a personal question, isn't it?

Well not all science is published in English

“Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind. It comes with colossal opportunities, but also threats that are difficult to predict. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

If we become leaders in this area, we will share this know-how with entire world, the same way we share our nuclear technologies today,” he told students from across Russia via satellite link-up, speaking from the Yaroslavl region.

I agree
I think Google is using captcha to train theirs

>>9142405
Of course. There is a problem with "secret" projects though in that many will have horrible leadership via bureaucracy. So even public projects in AI probably are beating them in many areas.

Flat, or round?

literally everything is genetic. Genetic Determinism is reality. Once you accept it the world makes a ton of more sense as well, aka Africa/South America/India/China etc all become predictable.

If you're a women you're in luck. All you have to do is select for a curious, peculiar, perhaps some would even call odd PHENOTYPE.

Ah, understood. I just figured /sci/ would be the place to ask about schooling. Sage.
