books are so 20th century, why read anything but imageboard posts?
Surely youre joking mr Feynman

Math is the 3rd easist major?! What kinda dogshit for brains-testicles for eyes fucking liberal arts major wrote this crap?

It's true anon, all the dumbest normies in my chem program are math double majors. They then proceed to think they're God's last gift to earth because they've taken a few math courses and done well, as if it makes up for their exceedingly poor performance in chemistry classes.

Who the fuck actually uses Photon?
Let's settle this once and for all:
Who is the smarter black science guy?
Who is that guy on the left and why does he look so much like SHEEIIIIITT negro?
None of these, the smarter black science guy is science Morgan Freeman

Hakeem Oluseyi or something similar
Why isn't there a class of all classes, in NBG set theory?
sed -i 's/set/class' russel's_paradox.txt
>>8559981
Yeah I know a class of all classes would lead to Russel's paradox complications. Hence this question.
I'm not asking a deep question about NBG or set theory in general or anything, I'm just asking a clarification question about NBG specifically.
>>8559970
OP here, Wikipedia says
>NBG does not admit "the class of all classes" (which fails because proper classes are not "objects" that can be put into classes in NBG)
and I have no idea what this means, pls help
Let's say I have a stick that is 1 light year long and I have a friend that is 1 light year + 6 inches away from me.
If I reach out with my arm that is holding the stick 6 inches and tap him on the shoulder with the light year long stick, will I have communicated with him in a faster than light way?
Please respond
>>8559947
No.
each infinitesimal portion of the rod will not move until the infinitesimal portion of the rod preceding it moves and pushes it. the forcing signal you impart on the rod at your end cannot travel up the rod faster than light. You are basically creating a compression wave within the rod.

no
What if an a.i. fell in love with you but you weren't in love back?
she would find another anon, I'm quite sure
>>8559604
First of all its an it because of the cons of gender identity but it will identify itself as a she simply because you are the only solution to the equation it runs every time it computes about you.

I liked the vid, but the fact that you could just get rid of number by additive constants such as
[math] 7^{-4^92} = 0.0000000... [/math]
makes this task not so interesting to me
Try to solve this guys :v
Could this be a solution?? :v
>>8559137 here
It's not possible.
hey /sci/,
in a bit of a pickle here, trying to make some change over winter break. I was wondering if you guys knew any ways to do that?
i was thinking:
Doing programming projects for kids at universities,
Doing math homework,
Online tutoring,
Also the same guy who posted about betting on horse races a week ago.
Anyone have good resources/websites in mind that they've used for that sort of thing?
thanks guys.
Also: if you have any ML questions, feel free to ask
Honestly, I didn't understand what do you want.
>>8559060
Just get a job.

Why didn't Feynman realize CS is a meme?
How does it make you feel /sci/? AI that is much more powerful than humans could ever be will eventually take over all scientific research. Very funny, right?
>>8558661
I honestly thing complexity theory is a really interesting field. In my experience, however, most 'computer scientist' undergrads avoid it as much as possible and get as many programming credits as possible
>>8558661
Why would there be less to do in computer science because it's newer? If anything the opposite would be the case, and it is essentially. Basic research in physics has stagnated, while we are only just beginning to figure out the theory of computing.
I am considered "slow" "stunted" emotionally/socially. I didn't understand the social issues and didn't understand many of the social things, however I did excel in science/math meanwhile most of the peers were dumb as rocks.
I understand that well to-do people have balanced science/math - social development, would I be considered a mentally retard by some definition?
>>8558382
Yeah, probably and rightfully so. Guys like you annoy me just as much if not more than stupid people.
>>8558389
Yeah, at least you find stupid people relatable.
>>8558382
1) are you self aware of these social problems you have?
2) do you learn from your mistakes or others mistakes about social cues so you know what do to next time?
If yes to both, you're not mentally retarded. You MAY (emphasis because I don't know for sure) have a mild form of aspergers syndrome but it's nothing to worry about. I'm slow on social cues too. Plenty of people are like this in STEM.

How true is this?
>>8556590
Really fucking true. Specially for philosophers. Some days ago we had a discussion about a book called "Against method". Some faggot /lit/fag came to shit up our board with his shit.
What is "Against Method" you ask? Well, it is a book... written by a philosopher... that critiques science, scientists and scientific practices.
A philosopher... with no scientific experience at all, talking about science is wrong and everyone is so dumb except for him.
People from the humanities are really deluded. I guess you start hallucinating when your poverty wage can only pay for half the calories you need a day.
The right is highly accurate. See Noam Chomsky, linguist who gives his opinion on everything and even had the guts to deny testimony of the Cambodian genocide.
But the left one, there are physicists who go far beyond their reach.
>>8556590
Yeah, I'd say that's right on.

I graduated last year. It was nice to go to school where people were overall smarter and gave more of a shit. Small classes, professors treating you like peers, rewarding work. Stressful, but just don't expect to have a life outside of school and you'll be fine. Overall it just got me a piece of paper (did pure math) but it was free and pretty fun.
Only horror story involved a woman in my dept with (I think?) fetal alcohol syndrome developing a crush on me and it turning into pseudo stalking for over a year. There is a lot of sexual frustration among grad students. Watch out for it and don't try to fuck undergrads either.
Advice? Don't drink alcohol to deal with stress. Don't give a shit about your students unless they prove themselves. Give a shit about lecturing well and remain detached. (This is just to minimize stress relating to teaching). Also if your school is in a small college town with a huge undergrad population, that will get tiresome fast. Also don't undercharge for tutoring. $40/hr minimum.
