Diagnosticians on suicide watch

until AI can be held liable for malpractice then AI will never in any capacity supersede a human physician.

democrat jew trial lawyers will never allow it sorry :*)

Just sue the campany which produced the AI or equipment using it.

you're pure pseudo-science garbage

how do we know stones aren't conscious as well? just because they have no way of communicating or interacting with us doesn't mean they aren't 'experiencing' the universe is some way

>We can't even define consciousness let alone even begin to imagine just how it works and how it came about.
But we know its there. And we just can't ignore it.

My theory is that consciousness is a property of matter that is yet to be explored by science. Consciousness occurs when the right arrangement of quarks occur. It's nothing spiritual or outside the boundaries of physical laws. It just happens on a subatomic level that we can't yet understand the mechanics of it.

>a quantity

?

>solar energy
LMAO

Those squares assume no energy loss through delivery and 100% capture of incident light.

Solar power is great if you live in a desert. Energy losses on transporting all that Saharan energy to Europe will make it non-viable.

It doesn't.

Gravity is not something that escapes from blackholes. Gravity is not a "something", it is the result of the curvature of space caused by the mass of the black hole. It doesn't "travel" from the black hole, it is a result of the black hole existing. Understand?

CS was unironically a great real time strategy game.

Stratego was pretty fun too, but the best one is real life. Kinda sucks if you start with a bad roll though.

dude magic lmao

wtf i hate heisenberg's uncertainty principle now

x is coordinates
p is momentum
delta means error
delta x time delta p is more or equal than h/2

that's it.

I know wolfram alpha use to have problems computing the limit of x^x, this sounds like a computation problem.
Try plotting the function to test it

>>8292316
Google won't graph it and I don't have a graphing tool.

I guess it is a mistake though, it does not make sense.

It does make sense
x^x approaches 0 as x -> - infinity, as the exponent approaches 1/infinity (due to the exponent being negative) therefore x^x -> 0 as x-> -infinity
The rest is trivial
sin(0)=0
x^0 = 1

It's one OP

The horror

Arts fags not realizing creativity is not limited to their field.

I think i'm going to be sick.

STEM shield activated.
Engage maximum shunning.

STEM subjects engage and expand rational thinking; art belongs with media and gender studies.

Considering thousands upon thousands upon thousands of the brightest minds the planet has to offer, working on the issue with billions in funding for decades haven't come up with a solution I doubt Mtumbai or Pajeet are really a magical repository of knowledge waiting to be unlocked.

how would an uneducated person know anything about a cancer cure?

I don't know if you've noticed, but there the US is infested with retarded monkeys.

If you make college free, you're basically opening up the floodgates for the monkeys to come in and make the college experience even worse than it already is. Universities will spend millions trying to babysit these monkeys who can't sit down, shut up, and listen to a lecture for an extended period of time. It will become high school 0.2.

Venus is also considered an Earth like planet, just to give you some perspective

Yes. Proper diet, education, and removal of childhood trauma and in general negative social stimuli (achieved largely in part by combating poverty) has a profound and well documented effect on increasing average IQ scores.

I mean across the board. It's not enough to just prevent people from having a much lower level of intelligence than their genetic potential allows; I think we need to actually increase the potential level. It seems to be unacceptable that so many people are not capable of contributing in a meaningful way to solving all of our unsolved problems - especially if we are going to be automating much of the perfunctory and repetitive work in our economy within the next decade or two.

If we don't make these people (i.e. those currently in these soon-to-be automated positions) significantly smarter than they are at the moment, won't they just become permanent welfare recipients?

That seems like something we ought to try to avoid.

>>8293587
step 1) Fix society.
step 2) Genetically engineer better humans.
???
profit!

My probability book has an example like this but instead of coins its two babies are born and one is a boy.

It's 1/3

Thank you man, I was pretty certain but he just wouldn't shut the fuck up about it being wrong

The "hurr durr weed is perfect" conversation continued afterwards

Which book is that, out of interest?
