what if we made alliance with an intelligent species that could eat hair

some energy is always wasted
We might just have ourselves an ecosystem. If you replace hair/dough with poop.

They would need to be able to integrate with our population and space. Also would need to equal our production. Also it would be nice if they could breath CO2 and shit oxygen.
how does saying "lol fundamental particles are really just strings" actually reconcile anything between quantum mechanics and relativity?

So I've got pretty bad ADHD, but vyvanse and other meds make me not eat and also just fucks with my brain chemistry heavy.
I've started using nicotine to study, and it helps a surprising amount, with no side effects
(apart from a dry mouth, using cigarettes now, but going to transition to a vape when I can afford one).
Here's an article about nicotine and ADHD:

Here's one about nicotine and general productivity:

What do you think /sci/?
If you want to trade poor studying for poor physical health that's you're choice m8.
>>8451064
lmao, see if you can get a prescription for a nicotine patch
>I've started using nicotine to study, it helps a surprising amount, with no side effects
Audibly laughed very hard.
What does /sci/ think about Matrix-style VR? Is it impossible? If it is possible when do you think it'll be available for commercial use? I just wanna sniff girl's feet and butts in it.
>>8451061
Matrix-style VR is only possible in virtual reality.
>>8451061
With enough computation power, I dont see any reason to suggest that it wouldn't be physically possible
>>8451163
Do you think around 2060 would be a safe bet for it to be made available to people?
Can you give me some good articles or any other kind of sources on why is nuclear energy the best (safest,cleanest,etc.).
Google 'Chernobyl', 'Fukushima', 'Three Mile Island', and 'Windscale'.
Thank me later, you're welcome.
>>8451042
Why are you looking for things that confirm your bias? Im a huge proponent of nuclear energy, so as far as Im concerned just looking for actual neutral information will be enough to tell you that its worth pursueing.
Are we trapped in our material body?
Even if we invented a way for us to copy our consciousness in digital form or in another body is there a way for us to experience that transition or are we bound to our bodies?
I was going to engage in learned discourse regarding this question, but I just noticed the sex robots thread.
Because the only part of sleep that we need is REM sleep, which occurs pretty soon after falling asleep, do we really need to sleep for 7-8 h?
Not really, you can do fine with less or more sleep.
I'm more interested about why my waking time is synced to some particular hours. Irrelevant of when I go to sleep, I always can wake up only in some times of day. I don't use clock alarm, and I can wake up on my own only around 2:30, 13:00, 17:00 and 20:00. Why is that so?
>>8451016
Probably got something to do with light in your house.
I believe that you should be able to replace an alarm clock with a light that slowly turns on about half an hour bwfore you need to wake up. If anyone has experience with that it would be lovely if you could share.
Needed sleep depends on roughly 3 things. Height, mental exertion, and physical exertion. You can also include injuries should you have any that are still healing. Diet will play a part in you being tired, but it's not exactly related in the same way.
Average 6' college students need 8 hours of sleep
5'6" needed 7.5 (students were studying sciences, engineering, or computer science degrees at a pace of 6 school hours a week. Homework was not quantified.)
All sleep was standard sleep with no deprivation cycles or supplements used. As close as you're probably going to get to a control group.
Sleep deprivation cycles (more commonly known as poly-phasic sleep) increases sleep efficiency dramatically at the cost of rigid sleep schedules.
Waking up without an alarm is bullshit. Every single claim and attempts to create this is found with the subject waking up 5-6 (some cases more than 15 ) times prior to actual desired wake-up time. "But I don't remember waking up" no shit. Each sleep cycle, you wake up. No one is an exception barring any medical issue (which if you had, you wouldn't be touting it around like a trophy.) You don't remember because your brain activity doesn't increase to the point of consciousness until roughly 30 seconds later. If your checking the clock, your bringing your brain to hurry levels of activity which is in turn fucking your sleep efficiency.
The constant wake ups towards the desired wake up time reduce sleep quality to the point you may not get to any restful stages of sleep at all for the time you could have had one or two cycles.
Sleep is kinda my forte, ama.

Moving this thread from /b/ because of goatfuckers.

tl:dr we're discussing the essence of time and the fourth dimension.
Anons have brought up living in simulations, gravitational waves, multiverse, and biocentrism as arguments
woah dude, show this shit to joe rogan that blows my mind

Also quantum mechanics suggesting 21 dimensions and perception were brought up

I want to know the answer to the question. Since it wasn't answered in the previous thread, I decided to create a new thread to serve the same purpose.
I have a psychologist-administered IQ test score of 127, yet I've spent the past five hours failing to come up with an algorithm which generates all the permutations of a given string. I've given up coming up with an elegant solution and have been doing God-knows-what -- I'm at the point where I've been trying to create usable methods for a class which manipulates a depth-mapping between elements of the string so I can choose my permutations based on how 'deep' each element is in relation to the others. This is proving unhelpful.
Why can't I figure out this problem? What the hell is wrong with me?
pls help
>>8450772
>What the hell is wrong with me?
False positive buddy, there's nothing left to do.
...so I'm not a programmer...
I don't know what class and methods means but..
Why isn't this just a sort algorithm? Brute force.
Since it is a permutation, you don't have to worry about redundancy or efficiency.
What does/sci/ thinks about race? Are there major differences between them?
>>8450771
They're due to mostly shitty unchristian culture
>>8450771
I honestly think culture has much more influence than race and yet everyone always ignores it to argue about race.
For instance, Chinese culture for the last century or so has produced 3 generations of ruthless ass-holes how have no sense of honour or moral scruples. Chinese people a 1000 years ago were much more civilised and Honourable.
it's an invitation for shitposting is what it is

Why doesn't any billionaire extradite this slow program. just toss them 10 billion and start colonizing Jupiter or some shit

Maybe because (as I understand it) NASA needs government approval for projects, whereas privately people can build rockets, go to planets etc. as they please (maybe? Not sure).. But hey, just glad to see Tesla/Musk, Boeing, etc. all working towards interplanetary life.
>>8450672
Because NASA is more interested in science. SpaceX and the rest are just engineering.
Which set is bigger, A = n or B = 2n, and n tends to infinity

This reminds me: I once took a philosophy class wherein the grad student leading the discussion section claimed that the set of integers was "twice as big" as the set of even integers.

>This reminds me: I once took a philosophy class wherein the grad student leading the discussion section claimed that the set of integers was "twice as big" as the set of even integers.
Yeah this is a common misconception. I can map the integers to the even integers with f(x)= 2x. similarly I can map the even integers to the integers by f(x)=x/2. It's a bijection so the idea that one has more elements than the other is ridiculous.
