Why find girls pilots attractive?

>>8271546
Everyone knows about doctors and everyone knows they make good money.

If you are like most people then at some point in your life your parents probably told you that you should be a doctor.

Basically because it is a meme and that implies that it is popular. Everyone knows about it so everyone talks about it. Nothing special here.

>>8271546
Authority mentality.

People who can "save" you become deities to normal people.

>>8271528
Oh boy. Is this gonna be another intellectual dick-waving thread? At least OP isn't bragging.

Alternate your genetical codings.

The first question that arises is why, assuming you're as ambitious and thus reasonably intelligent as you say, you'd let your gf meme you into the marrying spiel. It's all win just for her, the only card she can pretend to play is that our relationship is saver that way - while rather the opposite might be the case.

Anyway, what did your apps do and did you develop or also business?

>>8271517
I was just venting, honestly I'm stressed with this kid coming.

>Why?
To bring incredible magical A.I. to life & finally feel something worth feeling in this existence.

>Anyway, what did your apps do and did you develop or also business?
I never started my own business, if that's what you're asking.
I'm actually working on those apps now. If I give away the main features it may hurt me.

I am working on a chat system now though.

Your options:

1. Save up some money, quit your job, get a cheap place to stay, go back to school. Keep the wife only if she's ok with it.
2. Make sure you have the least-demanding job possible with lots of free time. Self-study like a pro. Warning: if you do it this way you have to stay disciplined yourself. This may involve neglecting the wife to some degree too.

It will help if you can get a source of passive income like making another app. But this may take a while and requires some luck.

Actually bother trying on the tests and you'll get a 100%.

Systems of linear equations, quadratics, matrices, factoring, trigonometry, limits, logarithms, and the basics rational numbers are not at all hard.

Get Lang's Basic Mathematics
Read it and UNDERSTAND the content
Do the exercises at the end of each chapter

Lol, Precalc is ezpz. Download Sheldon Axler's Precalculus book from Libgen, study each chapter carefully (don't just memorize equations), and do some of the exercises at the end of each chapter. The book has like 40 chapters, you can go through it in a month

>I am not a mathematician
Bummer. Proving probability laws requires rigour.

>>8271429
Well if you have any explanation to offer I could at least try to understand

It is easier for there to be one of something than there is for there to be 9 of something.

It is easier for there to be 10s of something than there is for there to be 90s of something.

And so on.

focusing on greek mathematical history is not "eurocentric"

The Greeks were the first civilization to introduce mathematical proofs and Euclid was the first to establish an axiomatic system for geometry essentially launching the formal science of mathematics of today.

So while the Egyptians and Babylonians had mathematical concepts...more so the Babylonians, the Greeks were really the first to revolutionze math on such a fundamental level

If I flip a coin and you can't predict which side is gonna fall up, does that mean that it's indeterministic or that you're just a brainlet with a small dick who is incapable of calculating physical simulation with all the variables ?

>>8271258
This is a contained energy equation system where as a coin is an open variable platform. That science cannot even predict something as basic as the pendulum with all the advanced computer modeling available to us shows that at the very basic fundamental level they have failed us.

>>8271266
>contained energy equation system
Please list all the variables taken into account and show me how each of them were calculated

If you have later...
There are still problems summoning up like shapes in tetris...


Can you count how much science you need to build a snowboard hall for example?

>>8271212
>Where do you find the energy to be productive and do honest math?

I have nothing else to do with it.

It depends, if I'm in class, I usually opt for 1, try to write down the proofs (well, at least enough of each proof to be able to redo them later) and get the general idea. If I'm reading a book, I opt for 2., but as a consequence I rarely read for too long.
I have a good friend who is also very passionate and he does the exact opposite. He always asks the prof (or me or his neighbours) questions in class if something is unclear so as not to leave anything out. However, when reading a book he just skips through and tries to get the general idea.
I have never understood how someone could keep reading with gaps in their understanding. I think I can do that in class because the professor usually gives intuition, willingly or not, about what should be obvious and what is not (even through the intonation as they are speaking).

>>8271196
and what exactly is 0.101052577...?
It's just a completely random number.
I'm looking for simpler numbers like known irrationals or integers.

>>8271201
0.1010525775588107114272248792... is a constant I just created
You can call it F

I have done a LOT of psychedelic drugs, never once experienced "a range of colors that should not and can not exist".
OP confirmed for underage.

Bullshit op
You clearpy havent done any phycos

>>8271168
I've seen so-called impossible colors on DMT and huge doses of LSD, but very rarely.

Do they?

>>8272118
Haven't tested it and found contradicting information on the internet about it, but no answer why it would work.

One could hypothesize that salt dissolved in the molten wax would change how it flows, possibly making it travel up the wick slower.

I don't think that explanation works though - the wick would just burn shorter. My guess is it doesn't actually have an effect, that piece of folk wisdom is the result of poorly or not at all controlled experiments

my mom always said that I get square eyes from all the screen glaring, I lold back then.

now I can't focus on faces in a distance ortho my optician said I dont have an impairment.

Id say its the resolution of the hardware damaging not the resolution of the displayed content

fuck

>>8271122
I think the glare was always a red herring but my point here isn't so much about resolution as the human eye not being adapted to simply letting content be out of focus.

By resolution do you mean a low pixel density? My thoughts were that this only exacerbated the problem but wasn't necessarily the root of it.

I would imagine this would be more of a problem when you have a moving image (like a video or game) compared to a still image.

Please do correct me if I am mistaken.

In evolution of some brain centre it can have some meaning...

>>8270985
No

>>8270985
They are placeholders until we can enumerate.

>>8270985
No. They are simple and useful. There exist transcendental numbers? Obvious. The very foundations of measure theory being at all meaningful? Requires countable vs uncountable infinities. The distinction is elegant and inextricable from mainstream mathematics.

Too much for you? A real question requiring knowledge from several areas of physics, and 0 answers. A shitty troll and you get 300.

/sci/ is a joke.

Literally made by me. But yeah whatever you say, highschool kiddo.

Answer is anything but easy
