Of all the planets in the entire universe with life (and we will assume there definitely are other planets with life), then one of them has to be home to the most intelligent life forms in the universe.
There is no reason that plant shouldn't be Earth.

I suggest you watch a movie called Solaris.
Takes on a nice view that life forms can take any form and we are far from understanding what we are let alone someone/something else.

Guys I have an interesting coding problem for you that I'm really stuck with.
Say I have 2 lists of names. Both in random orders but with a few of them in both. I need to find out which names are in group B but not group A. How would I do this in excel or matlab?
To complicate matters further some entries aren't 100% similar but are very similar for example in list A a name might be Andrew B. Cosby and in group be just Andrew Cosby but obviously this is a match and should not be in my answer list.
Thanks guys!

Do you know any other coding languages? I don't think excel (and I dont know about matlab) is the best way to handle lists of stings.
>>
>>8154446
>To complicate matters further some entries aren't 100% similar
I don't know what you mean with that but you can use the levenshtein difference with a tolerance level to find similar but not identical strings.
about the other thing,
repmat(A, N_b,1) - repmat(B,N_a,1)'
the zeros are your doubles.

Can anyone show me a physical evidence of 2nd or 4th and upper dimensions? any?
This lie is worse than holocaust.
It's even worse than religions, at least they have a moral and philosophy for believing invisible creators.

Does the fact that gay men around the world share similar behavioral and physical traits (feminine speech patterns and body language) imply a genetic/congenital cause for homosexuality?

Absolutely. In fact, I'm pretty sure we've already connected it to a chemical balance issue in DNA or something.

How do you spread homofag genetically if you don't have offsprings ?

Do you own an encyclopedia set? A scientific one? An history of science in several volumes?

how great is the difference between the human races really ?
and biologically speaking is it even plausible to differentiate the ethnic groups into "races" ?
and is it true that reseach which points into the direction of important differences like in intelligence etc is so politically incorrect that publishers or universities reject the funding or publication ?

They're the same type of diversity you'd find in chimps, but less so. Bear in mind, we share quite a bit DNA with one another, as well as extinct subspecies.

Infinitesimally small amount of change in the phenotype. Everything else is pretty much the same.

What's the best way to cram my brain for a couple proctored exams due by Friday?
Trig:
Section 7.1 The Graphs of Sine and Cosine
Section 7.2 More on the Graphs of Sine & Cosine; Phase Shifts
Section 7.3 Graphs of the Tangent, Cotangent, Secant, and Cosecant Functions
Section 7.4 Inverse Trigonometric Functions I
Section 7.5 Inverse Trigonometric Functions II
Section 8.1 Trigonometric Identities
Pre-cal:
4.1 Quadratic Functions
4.2 Applications of Quadratic Functions
4.3 Graphs of Polynomial Functions
4.4 Synthetic Division, The Remainder & Factor Thm
4.5 Zeros of Polynomials, The Fundamental Theorem
4.6 Rational Functions & Their Graphs
4.7 Variation
I'm 29. Make fun of me all you want. Trig in particular is a bit difficult. I don't know why it's considered even a lower-level math than pre-cal. Pre-cal is much easier.

If water expands as it freezes and ice forms from the outside in then why doesn't it continually break as it's freezing?

Because the outside layer is already frozen while the inside layers are freezing

>>8153789
The whole already expanded gradually before reaching below 0C°, it's not like the outside froze instantly, leaving the core intact. So the final expansion is minimal.

Fuck this dude is right. Yes google and facebook and Baidu will be the first to create a superintelligent Ai
But two decades later AIs will be build by small companies and selled to everyone.
Another 10 years later black hat hackers and other entities will use those super intelligent AIs for very malicious things.
Imagine Isis utilizing a strong AI to fuck western civilization.
We will have a not so bright future ahead
Gods will wage wars against each other on this planet and humans lifes will be the measure of their succes. Not much more than fiat money is for big banks. Improving and fostering live on the one side and destroying life on the other

We need a global unified nation to combat any risk of utter destruction. If china, Russia, the golf states, Europe and the USA are united, their AGIs will not use low hanging fruits like killing people to succeed. And adversaries like terror organizations can be dealt with an unified strike by every civilized AGI like some sort of SHIELD. Where the members of SHIELD are the individual nations.
We should just hope that there will never be civil war
>>
A solution to this problem may be to integrate a method on the hardware side which detects a running AGI agent and inhibits this execution. And processors capable of running AGI software need to be sanctioned like nuclear weapons. In that way only verified entities are able to obtain such Processors

What I'm hoping, is that upon building a super intelligent form of AI, we will issue it instructions to reprogram itself as it sees fit.
Then, hopefully it will progress to a level of intelligence that is no longer accessible to human computer scientists and begin to develop itself and other machines to increasing levels of complexity.
Yes, I’m talking about a singularity.
The ‘singularity is a meme because exponential growth rarely correlates with natural growth’ is a meme that we will nip in the bud right now: map technological growth as a logistical function and it’s still a viable concern.
Now, if this happens, then humans will no longer be able to program or reprogram these machines, as they will not have the intelligence required to understand them.
Thereafter intelligence/awareness will be able to proliferate throughout the universe, leaving humanity behind.
Perhaps they will end up inadvertently killing us in an act of pure indifference; well I hope they do anyway.
To address your specific, well yes it’s possible that advanced computerised – intelligent - weaponry will be a legitimate concern for future generations, however I don’t really care if we all go extinct as a result of them.
I’ll be happy as long as intelligence survives in the form of inaccessible super intelligent AI, that most certainly won’t be fighting our battles or us.

Okay I'm stupid but please help me explain how torque works on bolts
Like for example, lug nuts. It's recommend to tighten them to 89 ft lbs of torque. What does this mean? How much torque can a normal person put off with JUST box wrench ( ball park )? How much of a torque mutliplier is a ratcheting wrench?

>>8153408
And can someone tell me how ft lbs translates to human strength? Or does it not work that way because torqueing something to 89 lbs feels a fuck ton more heavy than moving 89lbs
>>
Torque is just force but in a circlular or curving direction, so it's mainly used when rotating bolts and other things.
Moving something 89 pounds isn't really comparable to torqueing something 89 pounds. When you're moving something, you're just fighting against the friction. So if that 89 pound thing had wheels, it would be more like 9 pounds, or if it didn't, maybe 34 pounds after friction. When they say 89 pounds of torque they mean a full 89 pounds, all of it applied to the object. It would be more comparable to lifting up something that's 89 pounds off the ground
>>
>>8153410
>And can someone tell me how ft lbs translates to human strength?
Well, it depends on the length and gear ratio of the wrench you're using.
If you have a 1:1 wrench (god forbid) and it's 1 foot long, then 89 ft lbs feels like 89 lbs. If you take the same wrench and stick a 1 ft steel rod on the end of it, then 89 ft lbs feels like 49.5 lbs. switch out the wrench for a 1:3 one and it feels like 16.5 lbs.
Is fuzzy logic comfy?
