How do you feel about him?
>>8473372
He's pretty cool. Would let him fuck me in the ass.
>>8473444
That's pretty gay bro.
Initially loved him a great deal, considered him a genius and very likeable man then I grew to dislike him, morally ambiguous individual if you read his diaries (waah why did i make the nuke) and he didn't understand philosophy in the slightest.
Why is philosophy, especially philosophy of science, frowned on by so many scientists nowadays?
>>8473308
Its literally useless
Find me one good use, and I'll concede.
>>8473308
Because they don't understand it
>>8473308
Most scientists don't look down on it (then again I am at a liberal arts university)

Latex is the input equivalent of writing a book using Morse code.
So,

2. Are you happy with it?

I can type 10 characters per second. Latex is a piece of cake.
You are complaining because you cannot type as fast as you draw symbols but when you were a retard kid drawing symbols was hard too. Heck, I bet your first integral signs looked like shit and then when you wanted to make them nice you had to do it a little slow.
Just git gud at keyboards, fag.

What's the simplest way to prove Euler's formula? Complex number retard here
>>8471205
literally just expand the taylor series you ingrate
If you expand exp(x) in a Taylor series, then plug in x = i*pi, then you get -1
Find the Euler's Formula page on Wikipedia. The Power Series proof under the "Proofs" section is as simple as it gets. You don't need to understand the Maclaurin series, just know that it works. Euler's identity is proved when you substitute pi for x.
I can't seem to find any textbook format books on the subject of small and big conmanship. Help.

If you have that, then look up good books on how to sell.

I just found out today, after finally deciding to go back to basics to figure out why I suck at math, that you go from left to right in multiplication/division and addition/substraction. I always thought multiplication took precedence over division and addition took place over substraction. No teacher has ever noticed that this is why I got math problems wrong.

This is your own fault, not your teachers.
There are textbooks there for you to pick up and read. Your exam results reflect your performance as a student, saying that your teacher or school was terrible means nothing to the person looking at your transcript.
And yes, I went to a public school myself and scored the maximum grade and I'm now studying at a world top 50.
If God is an illusion invented by DNA to prevent us from gping suicidal, then why would genes let us discover them?
they never brought their own discovery into consideration
if our genes are so smart why don't they get a job ?
And if DNA can see god then why don't atheists have any DNA?
Honest question. Why does the area between the scrotum and the thigh smell so bad? Every time I rub my finger through that place and smell my finger really carefully it smells intensely acidic.

Can free will physically/biologically exist? By free will I mean making conscious decisions.
The Libet experiment shows that some (maybe all) of our decisions are made subconsciously, before we are consciously aware of them.
I'm asking from a neuro-scientifically viewpoint, please keep philosophical discussion to a minimum.
Become aware that you are making subconscious decisions and fight them. Then fight the subconscious decision that tells you to fight your subconscious descision. And so on.
>>8475832
>Can free will physically/biologically exist? By free will I mean making conscious decisions.
In the colloquial sense we can make "conscious decisions" insofar as we are "aware" that we're doing so. However that doesn't entail anything dualistic or mysterious, so to speak, about this process we call "consciousness". Moreover, it doesn't imply that such conscious decisions result from the agency of a "free will" if by "free will" we mean something independent of physical causation and the material world. Our will is indeed free to the extent that our body and mind coincide, and hence, to the extent that our overall micro-physiological state (including our CNS) both determines our course of action, and produces and instantiate our "abstract" mental state.
>>8475886
I.e. mental states exhibit free will precisely in the sense that our mind coincides with our nervous system and our nervous system determines how we behave.
Anyone interested in tutoring an ai? You give it a url, it takes the words from it, asks you questions about the words to ascertain their usage/meaning, and tries to tell you what the article was about. The idea is that he'll get better as his vocabulary (a list of classes containing lists of synonyms, information about grammatical usage, etc) improves. This is a screencap from a test with nyt.com

So you're doing natural language processing the hard way? Your approach needs too many humans.
There are much better ways to do this.
Imagine you've a mountain with x meters. Upon the mountain, there's an antenna with 20 meters. Anyone, in front of the mountain, is watching the antenna, forming a 36 degree angle. What is x equal to?

I've what a mountain?
That's the problem. There's just information about the antenna's height.
Are domes a meme?
Like if you wanted to house people on a relatively hostile, barren planet that rhymes with "cars" would you be better off just building a fairly conventional boxy building?
I imagine a dome would be able to better resist structural erosion due to its already smooth shape, and it would also be more earthquake proof than a box because its shape is widest at the base and smallest at the top like a pyramid.
>>8475353
Then I'm curious why in extreme environments on Earth domes still aren't particularly popular but boxes are rampant.
In particular that OP pic is the South Pole station where they demolished the dome and replaced it with a box, and of course there's Whittier, Alaska which is basically a regular apartment building standing alone out of the tundra.
>>8475356
boxes are cheap
domes are strong
Domes are for when you don't have backup options if your building gets damaged.
