you mean copy?

what would be the point ?

>>8240882
yhea, but if you want you can make the upload device kill the secound it uploads you

you should stop discuting with monkeys then

I think the thing that surprised me most when trying to teach calculus to people is that they get completely hung up on function notation (y=f(x)) and start multiplying crap out and everything. Idk maybe programming since I was 11 got me used to it? It never seemed hard or even noticeable to me (I honestly thought they always spent way too much time explaining it) but some people just really struggle and I can't understand why.

I think it has something to do with epigenetics

hot coals often have blue flames

but temperature isn't the only determinant for colour tbqh

>>8240477
So what flame has moods that determine its color? No, trust me, I know a thing or two about the natural sciences and fire is temperature with a physical appearance. There aren't any other things that determine fire apart from temperature. It's heat. It isn't a living organism that occasionally chooses to be one color. It's that way because of the temperature.

You know photons are massless bosons, right?

Great question OP, let's break this down.
It sounds like what you meant to ask is:

>Let G be a one-dimensional real Lie group equipped with a transitive action of [math] SO(/infinity) [/math]. Does it follow that the "center" of G is necessarily a fixed point of this action?

Unfortunately, unless you happen to specify an embedding of G into a Euclidean space, the notion of a "center" in this context (not to be confused with the group theoretic notion!) is ill-defined. Ergo, your question is unanswerable as stated.

>>8240300

It depends on whether you are talking about a single point, or an infinitesimal. If it has geometry at all (no matter how small), then it's spinning. If the point is just a theoretical center point, then it's not.

>>8240323
>>8240321
Lets take it in the physics way.
Lets say an atom its the exact center, its rotating?
And if it is, the center of the atom is rotating?
Always in math we see really strange results, but lets try to not get to the infinitesimal point, as it is the euclidian space.
We can say that the Plank Volume is the minimun volume that exist (of at least have
meaning the position) Where is the inflection point?

Proving integration by parts.

It truly is amazing to think that after centuries of blind acceptance, no one has yet found a completely rigorous proof of this simple (conjectured) identity.

There would probably some kind of war in the stars. A war of stars, if you may.

>>8240296
But how would we ever get to the stars? It's no small trek!

Biological humans will never expand into the stars, only an AI, converting all available matter to energy and computronium. In the event it encounters another AI out there, they'll likely merge and continue to expand in a peaceful manner, until the entire universe is mopped up for their purposes.

Get your head out of this 20th Century space opera shit.

This depends on exactly how well insulated the room is, the wind speed outside, temp outside, the age of your air conditioner, cost of electricity, etc...

This is a hugely complicated problem, not because it is hard, but because there are so many factors. Mind you they are factors that can halve or double your cost.

So do like the rest of us and just log your electricity bills, because it is extremely far from practical to calculate.

This story is amazing

>>8240075
Atleast they TRY to purify their thinking, even if that´s almost impossible and paradoxial.

But seriously, Lesswrong is fucking shit. I´m thankful my IQ is only 124, so that I can´t join Mensa, which basically is Lesswrong IRL.

Pretty sure this guy wrote hundreds of thousands of words of harry potter fanfiction self insert where harry potter thinks exactly like him.

I am intrigued by your post but not about to watch some stupid video.

Closed video, moving on.

>>8240067
depends on what you mean by mysticism.
you can have spiritual experiences by taking drugs and meditating without relying on bullshit.

i don't want to watch this video.

Of all the amazing things, a giant rock is what you like the most?

There is so much autism in the first two posts in this thread that I just had to comment.
