Does the lack of gf destroy you both physically and mentally?

Is there any correlation between cuddling/sleeping with a woman and being healthier?

go away faggot >>>/r9k/

Well your physical health depends on your actions, which depend on your mentality, so sure, why not.
Also a woman is more likely to cuddle/sleep with a healthy man than an unhealthy man, so there's a correlation for you. The cause is backwards though.

Computation and the human mind

The set of possible human thoughts is not finite. In principle one could imagine more states than any computer could ever exhibit. Doesn't that mean the human mind is at least as strong as an infinite state machine (which themselves as a class of computational models are strictly stronger than Turing machines, for the latter are bound to a finite number of states? In addition the transition function of states in the human mind is not fixed in advance but can be altered at any moment in time.

So is the Church-Turing thesis not applicable to the human mind?

You can make a calculator to come up with infinite outputs by operating the fractional numbers between 1 and 2. Does that mean a shitty pocket calculator is at least as strong as an infinite state machine ?
>>
My God this is genius
>>
>>8143631
Except you can't. A calculator can have only a finite number of states. Unlike a human mind, a calculator can only work with finite approximations of real numbers but not with real numbers themselves.

Anybody remember this picture from 2012?
This dude discovered it from NASA's photos: https://www.youtube.com/user/rob19791/videos?sort=p&view=0&flow=grid

It was all around the news worldwide. NASA quickly removed this picture after that and covered it up and confused people by showing another picture. This got completly forgotten, it vanished from the web and I think the fact that NASA quickly removed it shows that this could be our first picture from a real ufo. (It's said that it is about the size of Jupiter)

I have two signals, each one of them is a sum of random cosine & sine waves.
I need to classify them using a clustering algorithm.
How do I go about that using python?
11 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
classify what exactly?
>>
>>8143761
I don't know this question is driving me crazy.
That's all what the exercise says.
My best guess is classify them according to the frequencies maybe?
>>
Don't know what the clustering algorithm part of the question is talking about. I would use an FFT in Python using NumPy so you can get a graph with frequency on the X axis. There you will be able to see the frequency spectrum and understand what sine and cosine waves went into making your signal. You'll get awesome graphs if you make sure the frequency resolution is 1 Hz or smaller, but I don't know what you mean by "classify".

If you duplicate your entire memory accurately, do you also duplicate your consciousness ?
>>
>>8143552
I'm not well versed in the philosophy behind this by any means, but I would think that if my entire memory was duplicated, the resulting mind would be conscious, but distinct from myself.
I don't know how to describe it, but for it to work out and actually be "me" I think there would need to be a "continuity" between my brain and whatever it is uploaded to.

He splits up the integral from -1 to 1 into a sum of two integrals, one from -1 to 0 and one from 0 to 1. Then he substitutes in the f(x)*g(x) depending on the values in each domain: from -1 to 0 f(x)*g(x)=abs(x)*1 and because x is negative in this domain it just equals -x.

Is time real, or is it just a social construct that only exists within our brains to measure chain reactions in the universe?

These are two different things, and no to both, see special relativity where the physics of fast-moving objects are significantly more accurately modeled when considering a temporal dimension in addition to the spacial dimensions.

Well. One way to go about this is by pointing out the problems with the fictional design. Two are immediately apparent.

One: no stabilizer. The torque from the rotor would have you yawing uncontrollably.

Two: the controls suck. In the setup shown, you could bank left and right, but pitching forward would be awkward and difficult at best.

But they're not quaternions though and it's really cumbersome notation.

What does /sci/ think of the ACT? For those who have taken it, what score did you get?
46 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
Can you take the ACT or SAT at any age? Say someone in the Military wants to go to a top 25 Uni and didn't do well in highschool. Could good scores on the tests allow you to be accepted into the schools?
>>
Basically the same thing as the SAT, especially the new SAT. Although the difficulty is actually identical for all intents and purposes, compared to the old SAT at least it was easier to get a score "of note" because the scores fall into much more broad categories. There are basically 6 upper level scores you can get 36, 35, 34 etc. while with the old SAT and somewhat the new SAT its more continuous. In other words it can make you look better than you actually are when you get like a 34, and it could be a low 34 or a high 34 or whatever, and since theres only two scores above that it looks impressive relatively. This is all just meta shit but hopefully im making some sense here. my score was 35 btw.
>>
Much prefer it to the SAT because of the 1/4 point penalty for wrong answers on the SAT, the way the ACT is organized (four sections then essay as opposed to like essay then 10 small sections or some shit), the ACT goes o higher math, and the fact the the college board administers it. Fucking hate CB

They're all working on something. They can't really give away hints in the math world or else you'll have sneaky snakes come in and steal their work. Thus, nothing happens until you publish it and prove your work. Otherwise you'll look like a dumb ass

just go to the arxiv or read some math blogs like Tao's blog.
Honestly if you want to know what current researchers are doing, just read current research.
