I wasted an entire year culturing cells I was trying to mutate because we made a mistake in designing the CRISPR guides. Basically when we were copying the sequence info into the cart for buying the oligos, we accidentally copied three nucleotides from the wrong part in addition to the ones we wanted, which resulted in thousands of dollars going down the drain.

There are about several thousand active posters on /sci/, with a (supposed) average IQ of 130. This is basically a huge scientific team, so you should be able to solve this:

Two questions:
1. Is the AI allowed to count?
2. Is defining the addition operator considered "providing it with a pattern"?

Do we increase or decrease the entropy of universe just by existing?

You ask the question like anybody would know.
Time/entropy is still unsolved question. Nobody knows the answer.
But we can discuss philosophy if you want. What are you asking? What do you want to know? More importantly, WHY do you want to know that thing?

Why is there such a big variation in the expense of universities when almost all information is available for free online?
How can Ivy League get away with charging so much for the same education that cheap schools are providing?

You're paying a lot for the privilege of getting to know people who pay a lot for the privilege.

You have prestige more if you're form those unis, or you get money and prizes like the Nobel more if you have connection from there, or know other Nobel winners, and you're more likely to become the US president or head of the CIA, if you're a member of Skull and Bones. But this was never about quality. Mathematics education in free (100$ a year or whatever) German universities was never worse than any US or British uni. (French / Swizz unis are top because they have the good people.)

Because you're paying for the name on the degree to signal competence to employers or admissions committees.

Don't worry, the "point" (-inf, inf) is not a number neither a point; it's just a concept. In fact it doesn't even exist :^)
Why aren't you studying machine learning? It's not a meme, its real and its going to drive research in every field for the foreseeable future.

it has useful technical applications(pattern recognition), but isnt useful for most research topics(eg you cant prove most theorems using bayesian inference)

Two options:
>1. You do an internet IQ test and believe in it.
In this case you IQ has to be less than 100, whatever the test tells you.
>2. You don't do any internet IQ test, but instead hold an opinion that such tests are bullshit.
In this case your IQ might be over 100.

Some samples of the cuts the Trump budget is proposing:
> The National Institutes of Health would be cut by nearly $6 billion, about a fifth of the NIH budget.
> Programs targeted for termination include an EPA program to clean up the Cheseapeake Bay, the accident-investigating Chemical Safety Board, and a NASA satellite program that monitors solar storms and Earth’s climate.
> The administration wants to boost the funding for maintenance of the nuclear weapons stockpile, but outside of that one program, The Department of Energy would see a 17.9 percent budget cut.
> The Department of Energy’s Office of Science would see a $900 million cut. Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, which underwrites innovations in biofuels and batteries.
> Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program terminated “because the private sector is better positioned to finance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies.”
> The EPA would be trimmed by $2.6 billion, a 31.5% cut. The EPA’s Office of Research and Development would lose nearly half its budget.
> Eliminates $250 million in grants from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) involving coastal and marine research and education.
> Cancels the Asteroid Redirect Mission, a controversial Obama administration proposal to break a boulder off an asteroid and haul it to lunar orbit to be sampled by astronauts.
> NASA Earth Science cut by $102 million including the elimination of four missions.

Also how much heated?

>>8752540
Unanswerable unless you know temperature to which it is heated and what sort of wood (as different woods have different ignition points.) Also, what is the fulcrum made of?
Answer could be 1, 2 or 5

pedophilia is a mental illness

can you elaborate?

>>8752501
The whole point of sexual activity is to reproduce. If you have sex or want to have sex with something that can not produce children then it is aberrant behavior.
So therefore it makes sense that two different aberrant behaviors express themselves in the case of a homosexual pedophile.

I truly believe that as technology advances the intelligence of a population will decrease. Thousands of years ago a single human must be able to learn a variety of skills (hunting, making tools, etc) and also learn from their environment (type of predators, location of food etc). A human with greater mental capabilities would be more likely to gather enough resources to survive and reproduce. The selection pressure that gave way to the development of an intelligent ape is no longer there. We are heading towards Idiocracy.

We still do have to learn a variety of skills such as reading, writing, maths, what your job is, driving, the ability to use technology etc

do the general population actually learn and understand the fundamental aspects of these skills? or do they memorize from rote-learning?
