Formal genetics are a capitalist lie. A couple dozen tests on industrial hemp and wheat prove that every part of a plant's cell carries generational information. Chromosomes are a lie - I mean, can you see them in this microscope? No, you can't! Chromosomes don't exist, and if you think they do, you deserve prison.
"Genes" are a complete fabrication. "Genes" don't carry any generational information, researching genes is a dead end.
Traits that have been acquired during life are carried over to next generations. If we cut off a goat's horns, and continue to do it to all its progeny, eventually goats will be born without horns.
The title of this thread was so promising but the OP is just /x/ garbage.

Is he right, /sci/? Do people who say they're not good at Maths just lazy?

I used to think the same thing, but the truth of the matter is that some people are genuinely retarded.

This. Seriously I've met people that for the life of them can't rearrange a three term equation.
Laugh at my question if you must.
I've always wanted to know what would hypothetically happen if i were to stick my dick in a black hole?
Will i both have the smallest and biggest dick in the universe?
Will it help me with my insecurities?
Thank you mr 4chan
>>8434190
there's a 50% chance of it making your dick the largest in the universe
it'll either do it or it won't

Alright /sci/, let's settle this once and for all. What is the best font + math font in latex.

I don't like the standard [math]\LaTeX[/math] font.
What's the best alternative?

I've been told a couple times that code will end, eventually in a few decades we won't need to know how to code to make programs thanks to machine learning
Now, as a CS student, that will probably affect my life significantly
How long will we need programmers?
Also, obligatory wired article:

All prophecies that you read in magazines, online or offline, are bullshit designed to make you react in the way the author wants.

That's pretty retarded. Neural networks are what you use when you don't have a good way to solve a problem directly. Speech recognition and self-driving cars are great uses for neural networks; in both cases there would be too many details involved to try to explicitly program everything. Using a neural network to try to create something that will run once each morning, query information from a database, put it into a file, and email it to a distribution list would be a terrible use for neural networks. If the thing you're trying to do is a well defined process or user interface, using neural networks would at best be a huge waste of time just to loosely approximate behavior you could've programmed directly and exactly, and you'd also end up then with a solution that's way more difficult to troubleshoot later on since it learned by training sets rather than through a set of rules you can understand its behavior from.
>>8434018
Also this. Part of it is just clickbait, but it also sounds like part of it is this author has some resent for programmers who automate other people's jobs and is trying to get back at them by spreading the meme that neural networks should be turned to as an alternative to writing any sort of code:
>Analysts have already started worrying about the impact of AI on the job market, as machines render old skills irrelevant. Programmers might soon get a taste of what that feels like themselves

LMAO!!!
>>8433831
pure math > anything a brainlet like you is studying. it's the language of intelligence in its purest form, untouched by you plebs trying to turn the basic process of finding applications into its own field because you can't do it off the top of your head lmoa.
I know some really really really basic differential geometry, you know curvature, torsion, the Frenet frame.
I-is it good enough?
For the sake of argument what would happen if we did in fact contact aliens & they weren't hostile?
What would be the response of Russia/Britain or the U.S.A
Would you leave the planet if the opportunity arose from the encounter?
>>8433575
Basically nothing since it would take thousands of years after first contact point for any meaningful exchange to take place past one sided recognition of the others existence.
>>8433583
>what are pictures
We could also just have a human baby live with aliens and humans, eventually understanding both

Oh sure, that's a GREAT idea.......
I want to teach myself Linear Algebra.
Where should I start?
At either end.

Linear Algebra Done Wrong
>>8433505
Google the internets. I did and first hit:
http://joshua.smcvt.edu/linearalgebra/
For me, it's the Graphgear 1000.
Overrated, also not having an eraser sucks. (that tiny thing they give you under the cap doesn't count)

I use my meme-tier Super Promecha PM-1503P in .3mm for drawing and diagrams. I like it because it's pocket safe (the sleeve is retractable because the grip screws up around it and also allows you to adjust the effective length of the sleeve. It also has a little thing in the middle that lets you adjust how much comes out per click
I use my Pentel P205 in .5mm for writing generally and exclusively if I'm in the field because it's better at the rougher handling everything tends to get when it's pissing it down and you're trying to scribble down strikes and dips while keeping the paper dry enough to not fall apart and less expensive so it won't really matter if I lose it
pic related but it came out a bit shit
Hello, this is the /sci/ managerial team, we are going to participate in a tournament called the 2017 Spring Babby Cup, so we would like to see suggestions from the community to help us with roster decisions, in the next post we will post the current roster. For those asking what the hell is this. We have taken the liberty of answering some FAQs
>What is this?
A second tier tournament between us and other 31 boards where they play in a group stage and 16 teams advance to the first tier tournament and also have a chance to win the tournament itself.
>How is this played?
Managers send their team exports from Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 game, and on gamedays they send their instructions to the streaming host, the managers can only change instructions and don’t have to actually play the game.
>Why should we care?
It’s all for a bit of >fun.
>Where is this streamed?
Check http://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Main_Page and look on the "Hitbox" link
>Is this spam?
If it were, we would’ve had these kind of threads on a weekly basis, we know the board’s not very tolerant of these kind of threads so this will probably the only thread we’ll make in months.
>>8433303
Oh and here are the players. Feel free to comment on who you think should be and not be there
Ah, another thing, we have music for the games.
Here's the anthem that plays while our players are introduced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws6HPTom2AY
The anthem they play when we score: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm-upHSP9KU
The anthem they play when Bill Nye scores (I think that's the reason he has stayed a medal for so long): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPRdEFGC6AA
And the anthem they play when we win the game (hopefully a lot of times): https://youtu.be/zSgiXGELjbc
We can change them but I think they're pretty hype as they are but if you have any better hype /sci/ songs, we're open to suggestions.
Have we dropped Black Science Man and Gorillas?
If intelligent life exists, we can find it, and obtain all of their knowledge, within our lifetimes. Here's how:
>There are ~400 Billion stars in our own Galaxy.
>If we screen each star solar system for 60 seconds looking for non-random radio signals, that would take 761,035 years (= 60s X 400 Billion) to perform the screen.
>So, we could screen every star solar system in our galaxy for intelligent life in one year using 761,035 radio telescopes.
>If you mass produce the radio telescopes, achieving economy of scale, you should be able to produce each radio telescope for ~$10,000, plus or minus an order of magnitude.
>So, it would cost between $0.7 Billion and $70 Billion dollars to build the 761,035 radio telescopes; a cheap price to pay for all of the knowledge from a more intelligent life form.
>For reference, the US annual defense budget is >$600 Billion. NASA's annual budget is ~$18 Billion. NIH's annual budget is ~$31 Billion. So, $70 Billion is well within the US's capabilities.
>After the initial screen is done, and after filtering out the false-positives, you can then begin trying to decode their message(s).
>If this effort fails to find intelligent life, then it would be safe to say that we won't find a more intelligent lifeform in our universe before our species dies off. There may be other galaxies within communicable distance that we could look at, but their relatively low numbers only increase the chances of finding intelligent life by an order of magnitude of ~3. Simply put, if you don't find intelligent life in your own galaxy, which has ~400 Billion stars, you're almost guaranteed to not find intelligent life in the relatively few other galaxies within communicable distance.
Here is how you can help; tell your senators and representatives to create a budget for performing a serious coordinated effort for finding intelligent life.
I've figured out how to find intelligent life.
