Red-pill me on IQ tests please.

Mine is 145 as an Asperger with an INTP personality type, am I a stereotype?
>>8477305
They exist only to test for mental retardation. No one cares how autistically good you are at pattern detected.

Then why does Mensa only require a high IQ test score to enter
Is there anything wrong with drinking diet sodas?
I started drinking diet cokes and something about it seems wrong but I I don't see what It'd be.
>>8477207
gross
soda is made with distilled water. it has no minerals and if you go hardcore it's going to weaken your bones
I'm stuck in a critical situation. I don't want to go to university/college, whatever.
Is this any good? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29
>what are it's limitations
>>8477158
Python = Good, robust, easy to learn.
If you want to go deeper, look to Lisp or C.
> Depends entirely on what you want to use it for.
Personally I prefer Python for the most, it's reasoonably close to pseudocode like:
for number in [1,2,3,4,5]:
return number*2
which is an actual for-loop in Python.
Look for good courses online. (ocw or whatever.)
>>8477158
>a programming language is an acceptable substitute for a university education
Why not just cut to the chase and become a NEET already?
Honestly pick any object oriented language to start with and just work with it for a while. Your skills will transfer between languages pretty easily. The number one thing to keep in mind is that you are learning to program, not just learning a language.
is this right?
>>8477123
No because multiplication is not well defined on hamburgers lol are you retarded?
>>8477146
what? please clarify I'm not very knowledgable about maths

/sci/ what would happen if a -1000°C planet made out of ice would collide with 1000°C planet made out of lava
>>8477122
>-1000°C planet
your thread is just as cancerous as the sun-lava-ice thing - shitposting never really changes
>>8477140
honestly, the true cancer is the faggots like you who get mad and call out shitposters.
The reason that people shitpost is obviously for some reason other than people like you getting mad over luls - oh, wait, nevermind... that's the exact reason people shitpost.
I mean, wow dude, you're so damn smart - you could tell it was a shitpost! I didn't know that you couldn't have a -1000 C sun. You're sooo smart. Keep calling them out - I wouldn't want to get fooled. If you call them out enough maybe they will stop!
I bet you didn't even sage.

Hello all,
Getting some work done trying to diagnose my lymphnode. Lymphadenopathy, postauricular since late August. No changes in health.
Past hospitalization was in 2008 for a peritonsillar abscess and mono infection.
Posting my current blood tests. Still waiting back on HIV, monoclonal, and immuno prot serum.
Give me your best guess. This is for fun, I am getting a CT scan Thursday and seeing another head and neck specialist on Monday.

Is he overrated?
>>8476991
Somewhat but hey, you know how /sci/ is
Anyway, i personally think that there isn't a "overrated" scientist since all of them most of the time contribute to society so it's not like your chinese cartoons or the chink gaymen
>>8476991
Yes, Tesla is the most overrated "scientist."
He was a great man, and a great influence to modern day technology. If you are willing to spend some time to research what he has done, you will realise why he is popular.
why is understanding turbulence such a great mystery of science?

People in fluids are not the brightest.
Tried /pol/ but without luck. I want to talk about Mass-Surveillance. I'm ready for it and I don't mind being observed as long as the laws adapt to avoid unjust cases.
I will go into some of the common arguments I hear:
It is true your personal privacy will be compromised officially to a certain degree but I want to highlight some facts here: you're already unofficially being observed almost everywhere, not by the government but private security companies and they have to obey the laws only on second degree.
I feel that some people gravely misunderstand the use and misuse of personal privacy and it's dangers on public security. Again I'm ready to lay my life open if it means catching more criminals, and I'm talking about violent crimes, no soft BS.
The police has a huge problem justifying every single action they make nowadays. We are at the point where people are questioning the very sense of a executive force, which is ridiculous imho. A functioning society needs police. Now don't get me wrong, my idea of a modernized police is very different in a few ways, first and most easy: every single officer has to be strapped with a bodycam and besides blurred faces and identities (out of safety reasons) the public must have access to all of the uncut material. We are at the point where the prohibition for police to film a situation (like in my country) is hurting them more than helping. Second, the recruiting process can be softened because the bodycam obligation automates much of the controlling mechanisms and relieves the police workload dramatically, it would however expose many bad apples.
Smart algorithms would pre-process all data mined by the hours of raw material to guarantee a non-corrupt handling of evidence.
I think we sadly have to choose between a surveillance state or anarchy because the justice system is flawed in its roots.
pic related, the peaceful power of observation. I'm convinced that in some cases a camera can have more of an effect than a gun.

How is this even remotely related to any facet of STEM? This isn't even philosophy.

What is /sci/'s economic role model and why?
>>8476775
>economic role model
wishing to have been born rich?
>why?
Because this is how capitalism works.
If you're born below middle-class, tough luck.

How useful would an physical third eye or extra pair of arms be? Would you want them anyway?
I think I would prefer a tail:
- easier to balance
- can poke people with it
- can carry stuff with it
- can wrap around a tree
- can slingshot rocks with it
The downside is that walking through doors becomes more difficult and painful
ID GO TO INDIA AND BE WORSHIPED LIKE A LIVING GOD
A third eye would only be useful if it can detect wavelengths the other two eyes can't detect. Like if it could detect infrared light, it would be pretty useful in the dark. An extra set of limbs would be shit unless you elongate the length of the torso. Even so, it would be easier to be uncomfortable with extra limbs. I'd take the third eye.
>mfw brainlets think IQ means more than accomplishments
Well what have you accomplished anon?

IQ is a meme. I read an article some time ago that stated that you don't have to be hyperintelligent to be a good mathematician.
that's what a sub 160 IQ brainlet would say.

no time dependence phase difference is given by L(k - k'), right? the answer it's giving me is too bloody huge
How do I construct a homeomorphism between [0, 1) and [0, ∞)? I can prove they are homeomorphic because F(d, x) = dx is a homeomorphism [0, 1) → [0, d) for every d > 0, but I cannot find a specific function for d = ∞.

how to prove lim (x->0) (x+1)^3. I know that the answer should be L = 1 since f is continuous, but we can only use the limit definition. I also know we must choose an epsilon > 0, and then use |f(x) - L| = |(x+1)^3 - 1| to terms of |x-0| = |x|, but i don't see how except maybe expanding
