I don't know if who made that picture but they're fucking retarded if they think that was real

Intelligence is the ability
Knowledge is the data.
You can have a lot of ability, but lack the data to use it to your fullest potential.

>>8566029
Slow down there peasant. This board is supposed to be intelligent you know..

Saying "no way" about something you have no clue about is a big redflag for being a low IQ.

Eh? There's a major black swan tier loss on the left.

Granted if you play till you win and then quit it works, but you can do that with literally everything. Expected value still seems to be 0.

Show me the calculations that make you think this "strategy" has an EV above 0.

>>8565746
Theoretically possible? Yes. I know a handful of examples of non-PhD papers even off hand (the AKS primality test was a pajeet undergrad research project)

But you are almost certainly not going to be intellectually qualified to publish new mathematics without a graduate degree in it, especially in the modern era. Not to mention that you've spent all your time getting a PhD in something else instead of learning math.

>>8565763

Then why do so many people on /sci/ teach themselves math? What's their endgame if it's not to contribute to the field?

For context, I'm applying for a PhD in pharmacology because the industry prospects are bretty güd, but /sci/'s boner for math makes me worried that I'm taking the easy route. I assumed I could learn math as a hobby and know how to publish by the time I finished grad school.

>>8565772
I don't think most people think about the endgame, they just want to learn math

you can learn math as a hobby, but you need to be really anal about it. it's like learning guitar I guess, you can't be the guy that learns guitar as a hobby and is decent-ish and has a shitty band, you need to be the guy that becomes a highly technical virtuoso player by spending hours on end practicing

>>8565588
You can use math for useless things like this.
Cool cool.

I can watch my bf doing that.

Let's just spin Venus up to a 24 hour day, and that will fling off most of the atmosphere, then we just pack it in a big balloon over to Mars. Boom, 3 planets instead of 2, and we don't have to wait for any lava to cool down.

But we already have Earth.

so even though this works, is it scalable? can i make a manned spacecraft that is propelled solely with meme drives such that i can go to io in less time than if i were to use chemical rockets?

>>8565238
I don't want to ask how it works

I just want to know how to make my own

>>8565254
It's not about the time, it's about the efficiency. The main reason we haven't put a base on the moon or a man or Mars yet isn't because it takes too long, it's because it's too expensive

Depends on the department/area of focus. People who specialize in electronics are weird/autismal but for example the telecommunications people are kinda "cool". Control engineering where I'm at is a mix between the two extremes I guess.

>>8563991
This is autistic.
So you're saying I can have a normal conversation, fuck a good amount of women, but then one day someone asks what major I'm in and if I say "EE" I'm autistic? Makes sense.

Anyways, CS has the most amount of autists in it, always taking about Star Wars and making jokes about stupid shit.

Why do you lie? You are probably a virgin that stays Fridays at home like most EE guys

We'd be able to make cars that can be driven to the moon!

"General solutions" to PDEs like this one aren't really a thing, some sort of boundary conditions or symmetries have to be specified, since PDEs depend on arbitrary functions.

In any case, finding a practical, useful solution to the equations is not the Navier Stokes problem. Proving the existence, uniqueness, and continuity/differentiability of solutions is, which is a great deal trickier.

>>8561615
Of course, you make up boundary conditions to start with and work from there. With that, you can find very close and consistent approximations for the turbulent effects that happen in real fluids.

I'm talking Navier-Stokes as it applies to physics and how much of science would be uprooted if a computer could find and model true fluid behavior just by plugging in the numbers. I imagine a lot of otherwise insoluble problems in physics could be solved if fluids didn't have to be dealt with using weeks of calculations on clusters of supercomputers.

One day? Yes.

The magic reasoning that anything humans do can't be replicated and improved by an intelligent enough AI is foolish.

>>8560939
Op here.
I want to be an artist but have no talent.
Im studying CS and wonder if i can still be an artist.

>>8560951
You'd have to have a background in the arts to be able to teach an AI the concept of aesthetics as it applies to art.

In faxt, I hate to say it, but AI will hit a dead end if STEM continues to refuse the legitimacy of everything outside itself. A human like AI will need the help of the soft sciences to become a reality.

idc if it's liberal arts, follow your passion... I'm doing math because it's fun and not stupidly difficult like engineering...

i'd say engineering uses as much math if not more (useful) math than a mathematics degree.

when /sci/ talks about engineers, they mean architects

I guess the main reason to do math is if you REALLY like it, same reason you'd major in art i guess

Because it is not math, nor is it interested in teaching you properly. Computerphile is better but still horrible, you are wasting your time with it.
