I am looking to apply to actuarial science programs for university, I am pretty strong in math and am in the International Baccalaureate program, just wondering if anyone else here is an actuary? It seems like it had good room for growth, good salary, good work environment, work-life balance, etc. and I don't need to get degrees out the ass.

There might be some Actuaries on /sci/ but you might not have answers until tomorrow
Anyway, i hope Actuarial Science won't become the new Accounting or something since i keep seeing people wanting to do this degree/job
At least for me i want to become a college professor + software engy or research

IDK I think accounting will truly be outdated when we get blockchain technology used by banks, but I can't see computers doing what Actuaries do 100%

Maybe this makes people work harder or CS will be more saturated than it already is

Proof that ternary computation is more viable and also more natural than binary
we "only" need to implement other transistor hardware, photon transistors can provide sufficient precision and also provide a natural balanced ternary behavior because of its wavelike properties
if only the world could realize that the truth is ternary.

wrong!
every numeral system other than 1,2,3 can be compactly represented by it's smallest base
for quaternary it would be binary
for nonary it would be ternary
As you see in this example I did not go from 3 to 6 but to 9 because 3^2=9, I want to also show with it, that the comprimising of higher numeral systems makes bigger steps (fit more values into a digit) in ternary.
the comparison of how much more values can be packed in ternary digit than binary digit clearly states that ternary is more efficient in this sense.

Got a B on my Bio exam :)
Im a freshman at Uni and obviously a B isnt great but Ive had trouble adjusting to college, and on top of that I only studied one night for it. If I studied for a week like Im really supposed to I bet I would have done even better.
Just feels really good after getting a D+ on my first exam
Also the class avg was a D so maybe the curve will bring me up to a B+ or even A :DD
Thanks for reading my blog

Well it is possible in my opinion. Just look at life itself. It started from nothing with no inteligent design whatsoever and by pure chance we got where we are now and if it's possible for us why wouldn't it be possible for some computer program.

This man's chromosomes were destroyed by radiation. That means his body did not have a blue print anymore, he was only a piece of meat at micro second the radiation hit him. Given the two weeks before his skin started to fall off, how is a human being still able to communicate, eat, breath, and sleep when the body doesn't even know what to do??? If his body didn't know what was what, does that mean that he didn't feel pain because the pain signals didn't know what to do??

Your body doesent depend on your DNA for basic activities. Only individual cells use it for reproduction. Once the cells reach the end of their lifetimes and try to reproduce, they can't since the genetic material is too damaged. This means that instead of successfully reproducing the cells just die.
As you can imagine, this is what produces the delay in radiation poisoning.

Physics/Calculusbros please help me understand this concept:
Absement is the integral of displacement, expressed in units of meterseconds (absement is found using the equation A=ms). Absement is essentially a measure of both how long a point/object was at its position and for how long.
For instance, imagine you have a cell service that charges you based on how far you are from their cell tower multiplied by how long you use the phone. A= m(how far you are) x s(how long the phone is used), and then they would probably the value by whatever constant they use to determine price.
In a scenario of absement, distance and time are multiplied, rather than divided, which is the main difference between displacement's integrals, which I will call the "negatve" vectors, and displacement and it's derivatives, which I will call the "positive" vectors, respectively.
However, I am having a hard time conceptualizing absity, or the integral of absement, mostly because I don't see the "linking mechanic" that links the negative vectors. For the positive vectors, it's the rate of change, i.e. velocity is HOW FAST an object's displacement changes and acceleration is HOW FAST an object's speed changes, so on and so forth.
The above makes sense because we are taking the previous degree and giving it a further rate of change relative to time (1/s).
I cannot conceptualize the idea of decreasing the rate of change. Perhaps the first step would be someone explaining the relationship of a derivative of position and it's integral, in that order (for instance, the relationship between acceleration and velocity).
tl;dr please help me understand the 2nd integral of position, absity. It has been plaguing my mind for literally 5 years and I just want to understand it.
pic is absement btw, not absity.

it is pretty much a non physical idea. It emerges out of the mathematics and has, I would venture to say, extremely limited if any, physical significance.
>>
>>8479444
but it must at least still have a conceptualization
i can explain that the 3rd derivative of displacement, jerk, is how fast the acceleration changes, and can be applied in rollercoaster construction, for instance, to make sure the riders don't suffer from whiplash by the ride accelerating too quickly
even though I can't find an application for the 4th derivative, jounce, I can still understand it as "how fast the degree of 'jerk' changes". I can repeat this ad infinatum in the "positive" direction, but I can not even relate absement to its integral.

Marijuana now has a range of legality around the world, and indeed from state to state within the U.S.
What are the implications for the public with respect to motor vehicle operators? Does prolonged use of marijuana (whether medically or recreationally) have a negative effect on the ability to drive safely?
Input from medfags, lawfags, or just talkative fags would be welcomed.

>Does prolonged use of marijuana (whether medically or recreationally) have a negative effect on the ability to drive safely?
Probably not. I've gotten high almost every single day for about three years, and I haven't gotten a single ticket nor have I been in an accident. I've read studies on this subject before, and they seem to suggest that people tend to drive with more caution while high. But I can't remember if they were long-term users or not, probably because I'm always high.

My younger brother who was studying to become an astrophysicist has suddenly decided that he'd rather be an anthropologist instead. His primary interests rest in biological and social anthropology with a minor interest in archelogy. I tried to explain to him why this maybe a great mistake as he is giving up a vast fortune from becoming an astrophyscist, but he says he just likes the field of anthropology more.
How do I convince my brother not to persue soft sciences like anthropology and even psychology as he had some interest in that field as well?
He is a complete faggot and his scientific work would not mean anything in the long run. He will struggle to get by financially and he'd be a mockery of the scientific community. Sure, he has his intructors said you can make a comfortable living as an anthroplogy, but I cannot see how. Plus evolution is a big lie.

Nothing against anthropology here, but I don't understand why biological/physical anthropology is part of anthropology and not biology, linguistic anthropology is part of anthropology and not linguistics, archaeology is part of anthropology and not paleontology, and cultural anthropology is part of anthropology and not sociology.

Why do I love ULA so much? It's pretty simple when I think about it. ULA isn't just the best launch provider in the country; they might just be the greatest launch provider of all time. Just imaging the Altas V riding through the skies of Earth, the wind on its fairing, the mighty RD-180 below it. As she rides through the red sky, NASA swoons at her very scent. They know how she smells; the essence of burning RP-1 smell is sold in Orlando under the name of "Space Orgasm." The very nature of ULA is mystery. Could they be playing a deeper game than even Tory Bruno realizes? The answer is yes, ULA has transcended such boundaries as the physical world, and has free will to do whatever they sees fit. However, ULA is filled with such guile, such arcane craft that they does not even use these powers. Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the ULA is not one that is easily penetrated. ULA rockets are such a force of nature in this realm that nothing can truly touch them, the only thing keeping them bound to this world at all is their will to exist within the preordained boundaries understood physics. ULA is not only beyond the comprehension of us, it exists within a plane of true focus and beauty. Observe the plume of exhaust gasses from this Delta IV, the gorgeous and rippling flames, the gallant fairing, and most importantly, its engines. Her engines, like cauldrons straight from hell, provide the only glimpse into the true machinations of ULA. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt. ULA is not just a launch provider, a formless collection of engineers and rockets; they are themselves the binding that holds the word together. Without ULA, Musk the Menace takes over and the entire space industry as we know it crumbles. The Mississippi would stop flowing without ULA, Kessler syndrome would take over in orbit, and the space station would fall without their fiery gaze. These are just of a few of the reasons why I like ULA so much.

Becoming scientifically literate might've opened my eyes but it also scares the shit out of me, for example:
>Study anatomy
>Know every in and out of the human body there is
>Feel like a delicate walking sack of meat that can stop working at any given moment in time for whatever reason
>Always anxious about the things people ingest or do or if they don't wash their hands now
>Know that it takes just one super virus to wipe out all of humanity
Does anyone else feel this way? Or am I just being a paranoid cunt?

The days after a junkie smacked my head against concrete, and while I was recovering (if I actually recovered) I looked up lots of things regarding the brain.
Things such cerebral circulation, common types of brain damage, """recovery"" mechanisms etc etc.
As it turns out we're just a dumb sack of meat.
Ever since I actually cannot stop thinking of people as these weird meat structures. I can't explain it properly, but I guess someone might know what I'm talking about. There's a control mechanism, few organs and meat. That's it. I didn't ask for this desu.
