Theory (aka wishful thinking):
>how big of a resistor?
divide voltage by current, 70 mΩ
Reality:
>4.2V
only at zero load
>195A

Seriously? Aw man.

Try to write 1/3 with decimals

>>8709799
>better
>not prettier

Because decimals are fractions with only powers of ten as the denominator.

3-3x6+2=?
3-18+2=?
-15+2=?
-13=?

I'm changing the ?? to ?^2. Taking the derivative of that i get 0 = 2?, so
Ans ?=0

Depends on the uni

Also, you could have naturally perfectly optimize effort put in vs professor's grade

What's an alright GPA to graduate with? I've slowly declined over the semester but am still at 3.5

>>8709597
I dunno, man.

I think outsiders have a warped view of just how difficult this particular engineering school is. They have the perception that you have to be extremely intelligent to succeed here. But the truth is that the classes, while you do have to put in some work, teach concepts very superficially. It doesn't take much smarts to memorize a bunch of processes, as opposed to really understanding what's going on. On the other hand, I am still in the first half of my schooling. Maybe upper-division courses are better. But, based on conversations with people who are about to graduate, probably not.

I still don't understand how the fuck a wolf is selectively bred into a chiahuahua over the course of thousands of years.

Thousands of years is nothing.

" Small breeds tend to mature faster than large breeds. On average, however, males become fertile after six months of age and reach full sexual maturity by 12 to 15 months."

"An average litter consists of about five to six puppies"

Then i think you just keep cross breeding till you get what you want

>>8709520
that's 7 thousands of years, tho

I've never taken this kind of course but I can tell you it's logic proofs based. Maybe an abstract algebra course.

That is algebraic topology.

I hope you're not actually so doom and gloom about this stuff, considering it'll literally change the world.

What's wrong with enjoying yourself?

>>8709216
You know how your teachers tell you that if you study hard, and make good marks you'lll be successful?
Well, that's a load of shit.
I'm not saying you won't be successful, but at what exactly?
You'll just be another drone working in a highly technical job, getting paid less than your worth.
If you want to be a scientist the same applies, just with a slight chance to be recognized by society for something deep down you probably don't want.
Find something that you enjoy, a product, a service, and create a business.
If you're stupid enough to go for art, do that.
Do anything besides forcing yourself to be surrounded by aspies with overinfflated egos.
I'm not saying that people can't enjoy stem, but just consider what you actually want.
Not what your parents, teachers, and society has.

How are they supposed to fight?

Are you doing daily aerobic exercises. That's step 1. Do you take caffeine? If you do, don't do that.

The best way to treat a panic attack is to remove yourself from the environment that it started in. Of course, most panic attacks occur as a result of being unable to exist your current environment.

Calm down.

Eliezer isn't worried about it, and has both way more investment in the idea of timeless Decision Theory and fewer habits of self deception.

The idea also pre-supposes that an AI would choose a negative incentive to motivate FAI people who already believe that death is permanent unconsciousness and are nonetheless only making sub-maximum efforts at creating FAI.

Given that FAI folks can rationalize global warming, nuclear warfare, disease and mundane threats to personal safety as a personal incentive to work on FAI, I can't imagine an FAI would try something like that.

wtf you pedo

Both 18, she tested into 0960 math in college which is pre algebra. This year she fiinally got diagnosed with dyscalculia aka math dyslexia after years of just feeling dumb.
