I know absolutely nothing about probability but i'm gonna guess it's 75

no it didnt
>>8401083
65 at a guess
I've been working on this for a while now and I'm very careful about the words I use to describe this technique I have discovered.
It's not just new, it's faster than anything I've tested and it's very simple to implement.
What is the best way to approach getting real input on this? I'm at a university studying Computer Science with a more than mild dose of imposter syndrome.
I plan on just writing a journal article discussing the algorithm, comparing it to others, and conducting a performance test. Then presenting the article to one of the faculty and hopefully they take me seriously.
I am very sure that this is at least a different approach to sorting an unordered list. It may have similarities to another sorting algorithm. It does not use comparisons
I've found applications that describe central tendency and compression that I want to talk about. The algorithm produces something that I can use to describe the list other than the order.
I don't know how to mathematically formalize the algorithm.
I'm also an undergraduate with no intention of going to graduate school but I want to tell someone about what I've discovered. I would gladly just tell this board the procedure but I'm not sure if that's the best idea.

You sure you didn't just reinvent radix sort?
Just go talk to one of your professors

Fucking plebs.
It adds flavor to the pasta and makes the pasta softer.

Sorry dad
Prove that we aren't inside a Boltzmann brain.
>>8404800
We can't and that's depressing.
>>8404800
We can't and that makes it philosophizing. Not shit talking Philosophy but this isn't science. It's at best science fiction.
>>8404806
What's even more depressing is that it doesn't make a difference either way
Is nofap a meme? I haven't been able to find any hard science on it one way or another. Just broscience and flame wars over whether it works. Anyone have experience with it?
>>8402361
I am planning on trying it yes. The problem is I'll have no way of knowing if it's just placebo and also my personal experience would still be anecdotal.
>>8402353
>Is nofap a meme?
Definitely, unless you want to be a low testosterone male feminist cuck.
Masturbation increases testosterone, which then increases your intelligence and physical fitness.

Those lucky bastard scientists, why can't I have some dumbass billionaire off to give me money for literally making up shit
>>8395440
Some goofy comments made while drunk in a hot tub, coupled with a deliberate misunderstanding of what "Holographic Universe" theory is actually about, leading people to believe billionaires are even crazier than they already are - all because it makes good click bait.

>From a purely mathematical viewpoint, the Dirac delta is not strictly a function, because any extended-real function that is equal to zero everywhere but a single point must have total integral zero.[5][6] The delta function only makes sense as a mathematical object when it appears inside an integral. From this perspective the Dirac delta can usually be manipulated as though it were a function. The formal rules obeyed by this "function" are part of the operational calculus, a standard tool kit of physics and engineering. The operational calculus, and in particular the delta function, was viewed with suspicion by mathematicians of the early 20th century, until a satisfactory rigorous theory was introduced by Laurent Schwartz in the 1950s.[7] Formally, the delta function must be defined as the distribution that corresponds to a probability measure supported at the origin. In many applications, the Dirac delta is regarded as a kind of limit (a weak limit) of a sequence of functions having a tall spike at the origin. The approximating functions of the sequence are thus "approximate" or "nascent" delta functions.
is that so hard? really? because the delta dirac function is far more useful than your shit-tier autism.

What's the most versatile engineering field?
>>8402207
mechanical engineering
or an applied physics degree
Electrical.
You can do software stuff, you can do hardware stuff, and you can do MechE stuff.
>>8402207
Electrical engineering with focus on applied mathematics. You can go software or hardware or physics or finance or ....
Not enough geometry here. Can you find the radius of circle gamma ?
>>8400263
>>8400263
Yes, it's trivial. Pick up a textbook and learn basic geometry.
>>8400269
>>8400268
warmed up? good.
what can you tell about a chord of a circle?
prove what you tell.
Challenge for /sci/:
How would you decrease Earth's population from 7.45 billion to 500 million? 6.95 billion people have to be culled.
/sci/ confirmed brainlets LARPing as intellectuals
brainlet /sci/ can't answer my question, Kek
There are many ways.
If you can't figure it out yourself, you are no better than the "brainlets" at sci.
Why the fuck do we waste our time with theoretical science that is not practical in any shape or form? So many topics here are about shit that is way beyond us. We talk daily about the brain as if we know how that shit works but we barely know anything about the brain. We talk about ideas and possibilities that are a million steps higher than we currently are on.
Science is a fucking joke nowadays. All those circlejerking of potential and ideas but there are almost no practical solutions. How often do I read about some amazing new discoveries on here but in the end it's impractical shit that will never work and never even showed a glimpse of working at all.
Science is so much empty hype it's unbelievable. This days scientists are more about hyping up bullshit than actually discovering more facts.
And on /sci/ too. Look at this potential and look at this potential. Couldn't we do amazing shit with this? Oh wook look at this theory, wow, such potential. Why is no one talking about this? Scientist discovered this theory. So likely but we will never know for sure.
Just fuck this empty shit. Enough.

>>8403080
Anyone can imagine some fantasy shit that will never proven right in your lifetime. Working on practical solutions is a million times more difficult.
Scum like you is the reason we will only fuel science fiction bullshit instead of improving things in our lifetime.
>>8403086
Remind me, how many papers have you published? What exactly is your experience in research that has caused you to form this opinion? Do you even have an undergraduate degree?
Why is this allowed?

Has science categorically, unequivocally, beyond any doubt, 100% proven that there is no such thing as free will?
>>8398251
Who cares? Even if we don't have it, or do have it, we have the illusion of it.

it depends on how you define free will

Is homosexuality genetic or not in the end?? Beyond political interests, what's the answer of science? Do we need to treat that as a condition or with tolerance because it's natural?
What's your scientific point of view and your sources? Thank you.
