You clearly want attention from it. What's wrong with attracting attention by factoring a number for us?

>>8756935
computational time is considered with respect to the size of the input

>>8756956
I actually don't... there's a reason I'm posting anonymously on obscure imageboards instead of shouting from the virtual rooftops. Like I said, I need to be able to deny it. For instance if I'm approach by people who I don't want to possess this.

>>8756960
...yes? I don't get your point. Are you just asking for its actual time complexity? It's around O(n^4), where n is obviously the number of bits in the input.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection

>Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting.

Verlinde formula :DDD

So when you multiply two complex numbers together, you also multiply their magnitudes together. What I want to know is if this behavior was used as an argument for the "realness" of complex numbers.

Also, how long did it take for somebody to figure out the square root of i? Was it known immediately after the concept of i was developed?

what do u mean by this

>Also, how long did it take for somebody to figure out the square root of i?
theres two square roots, and taking roots in C is easy if you just use the geometry of the plane

DCM evaporates in air at STP. so you can increase the surface area and airflow to speed up the process, but that's about it. what drug are you making?

Neither. I would just wait until brainlets die off from natural selection.

i never engage in such pointless arguments

>>8761626
B, because it's easier to correct a misconception than attempt to change the views of a willfully ignorant religious zealot.

>>8761570
Christian Orthodox is the coolest religion, and most people don't know enough to question you about it.

Other than that, agnostic atheist is the only way.

>>8761576
This.

>>8761570
Because you are unable to get over your idolatry of your own mental faculties. You need to accept that your brain is ultimately not capable of understanding anything about the nature of the universe. I don't see how you can't believe in miracles if you have already accepted that the universe has an omnipotent, omniscient creator. After that the rest is small potatoes.

Dude we need to make kids try everything, we have zero fucking clue what they're going to do for money when they're adults.

>>8761344
I don't really see the problem with trying to get kids interested in science.

>>8761344
This is a good thing.

Way to go Amazon!

I am more likely to support Amazon now that I have reached a positive feedback stimulus from it.

Yay capitalism!

Must be the moustaches

It's kids and teenagers mostly. 99% of the time they're more about dispelling stupid shit you see in movies and shows than actually proving scientific ideas and "myths" wrong. It's a show about sensationalism and blowing shit up, not accurate research done by professionals with peer reviews.

It's kinda hysterical how full of themselves Adam and Jamie have gotten at this point. Seeing them claim to be skeptics and then missing the most informative basic shit is just amazing.

>implying their experiments aren't well done
>implying they aren't disproving practical feasibility instead of scientific theory

its intuitive empiricism in a very accessible form.

>>8760925
That's pareto's law

This OP
You can calculate the entropy for all of those distributions and find that they are merely a consequence of entropy's tendency to go towards a maximum.

>>8760925
It's more of a cool rule of thumb desu.

Obviously b8 but RTS games bare minimum thinking on the fly. They're all games of hand dexterity and reflexes. The only strategy involved is autistically researching and practising a memorised build order until you can't possibly mess up no matter how much your enemy fugs your shit up. There's no time to think in RTS when you can just memorise

The only THINKING involved is autistically researching and practising a memorised PROBLEM SOLVING order until you can't possibly mess up no matter how much your TEACHER fugs your TEST up. There's no time to think in PHYSICS when you can just memorise.

sorry mate but it's all the same. Only philosophy involves actual thinking.

From what I understand strings do not have mass they are pure energy, so no.

>>8760525
How the fuck can a string be energy from, dumbass? How do you measure the length of energy? Idiot.

String Theory is bullshit. I can't believe there are still people who take it seriously.

>>8760513
There are no such documentaries.
Pick up a textbook on the subject.

>>8760515
I'm not much of a reader

>>8760515
What's about something to reinforce your learning? Like I read the textbooks but I'd like to watch something interesting that's /sci/ related

>>8760408
nope, its more viable then over before! assuming your not a brainlet

>>8760408
mostly. something like >>8760240 is the best way to go since you'll be trusted but still self learn and do your own exploration into your field of study which 95% of students don't do because they're morons who don't even care and think they just need to get an A in their classes like the sheep they are with no thought put into what they're truly learning. i would not trust someone that just read some textbooks in their bedroom to help me design a nuclear power plant or something.

t. professional engineer - nuclear

Nope, the Internet has an ever-increasing body of knowledge in the form of excellent texts, lectures (though fucking blind people are getting many of these removed from the Internet through abuse of the ADA), and interactive resources. There has never before been a time in human history when so much information has been so freely available.
