What the fuck is a limit and how does it relate to diffrentiating here?
>>8454181
apply that limit to any equation you can derive. Than derive the equation.
Now fuck off back to high school
How is highschool going for you, brainlet?
>>8454181
Why are you asking? Self study? You should learn to be comfortable with limits first before learning differentiation at all.

>we control tigers by being smarter
discuss.
We should build an AI on 4chan that scans some keywords from a thread/post and then generates a convincing reply based on previously mined data. All its posts would also include an image of a certain theme (like foreign pop artists) so that people would know what posts are its.

Not too sure about that tiger one either. I mean, intelligence with a mild amount of brute force keeps them at bay now, so I can accept that argument to a point, but most animals that we rendered our bitches, we did so through brute force, by either outnumbering them like mammoth, or actual physical strength, with a small use of intelligence.
Then you have cases like tigers eating babies in villages in India, only to be subdued through the use of weapons - brute force- few years after.
Just one of those

How do I solve for currents here? All resistors with the exception of the middle one are 2 ohm.
The center and right voltage source are 6 V while the left one is 3 V. I tried using Kirchhoff but to no avail, my system had multiple solutions. I probably screwed something up.
>>8442923
Use superposition. Also there's an /sqt/ up for just this reason.

>One of the questions reads "A building is heated to 27 degrees C. How much heat per second could be supplied by an electric heater, with power input 20 kW?"
I'm tempted to just say 20kJ, but I'm awfully afraid that it's more complicated than that. I'm not looking for an answer, I'd just like to know whether or not it's as simple as it seems.
how far are we from achieving machine learning? is it even possible?
also will we ever have the ability to significantly enhance our own intelligence?
Machines are already learning, hombre.
They are pretty dumb still, but they are learning.
I think intellegence enhancement is possible, especially once we get serious about genetic modification, or are willing to abandon biological brains entirely.
>>8452920
What are you talking about? Machine learning has existed since the 70s.
Here is a video of an AI learning how to walk, and it's pretty funny to watch

Has this fraud been exposed? Is statistics even real science?

Lmao he just got blown out for the final time by Bryant and the boys. The goat is dead and this hack is too (on the inside)
Fuck Nate Silver
He was a statistician who let the fame get to his head.
He tried being a pundit and ended up committing the cardinal sin of statistics (ecological fallacy) because he forgot this fundamental principle:
Knowing the long-run average (e.g., probability of a coin showing heads when flipped) does not enable you to wantonly call individual predictions (probability of individual coin flips).
Probability is not gambling.
Descriptive statistics is not inferential statistics.
Causation is not correlation.
Time series analysis is not forecasting.
Leave the prediction to the machine learners and subject matter experts.

It's more like how you felt before you were born. Lots of things happen when you sleep such as dreams and sudden feelings of chemicals being released from your body, so I wouldn't say it's like sleeping.
I keep hearing on this website that the average female has 20 partners before she hits 25.
nobody has been able to give me a source, but I want to know what's the real average in the real world.
also, how many girls are virgins at 20?
How is this interesting?

Is life extension and biological immortality just memes, or can they actually be achieved within this century?
Any answers?
>>8437698
Yes, with nanotech i believe. At molecule level.
>>8437698
Possibly, if we use nano machines to repair damaged tissue and use moderate amounts of gene therapy on ourselves.
That being said I believe there are other ways to achieve immortality.
Can anyone explain to me why topology exists? Is it just an exercise in autism, or is there some benefit to discovering how a non-existant material behaves?
I mean I googled "what is the point of topology" but it just thought I was asking about adherent points
With topolocgics, you can calgualate all nugular scients with no difficul. All you have to remember is, that when x is 3, answer is equals not really. For example -3^x~d != pi+5.
Allow me to explain:
Three.

How does one become ''sharp''?
Whenever I try to study I either feel sleepy, lethargic and ''absent''. Actually, most times I just feel absent, as If I wasn't really here and I was trapped in a permanent cycle of passiveness.
You might say it is because I am not really interested on the things that I study, but I deeply am, its just as if my brain wasn't giving me as much as I wish it would.
Whats wrong sci? I just don't want to be a brainlet anymore.
>>8439653
Studying is hard. Just gotta keep at it.
You can do some things to keep yourself from losing focus, like getting proper sleep, eating right, exercising. Also, it doesn't hurt to take breaks.
Apart from that, just be sure you want to be doing what you're doing, keep focused on your goal, and work at it. Sorry I don't have any other advice.
