Why is there such a strong push for artificial intelligence and singularity and such? I really don't get it, do these people want to get cucked by computers?

Usefulness is roughly value

How to change the color of juice?
Say I want to make tangerine or orange juice white.

You have to modify the biochromes within the orange juice. No idea how to do it chemically, but if you managed to find an inhibitor that could stop the manufacturing of the pigment, and find a way for it to synthesize white pigment, then you could theoretically grow a white orange. Whether it produces white juice is a different story.

A-alright, so far, I have seen I could use titanium dioxide

I pulled this powerful ceramic magnet out of a microwave magnetron.
While I was prizing it out, it chipped a little and I now have this sliver of a magnet.
When I try to put it back into the hole whence it came, it gets violently repulsed by the main magnet, and I have to turn it backwards to be able to touch the two together. How come? shouldnt it be attracted to the magnet it came from?

Can anyone explain reverse engineering a program ? Like, how do you match up a senseful bulks of code from just a lot of opcodes and assembly?

The term you're looking for is "visualization." There are no good decompilers just like there are no fully optimizing compilers. To native assembly programmers those bulks of code ARE sensible already, you're just not fluent in the language. It's a very hard problem made all the harder when you don't have a formal notion of what an algorithm is.
>>
>>7978975
There is software out there that helps with this. Shows you memory addresses, and functions etc. It's still no easy task however, but anyone who does it seriously is not just going straight from assembly.

Are there algebraic ways to find features of such equations and other factorial functions? such as range, domain, y/x intercepts, absolute minimums or maximums, etc.

I fucked up royally /sci/. A month and a half ago I submitted a paper to this journal that's prestigious in my country, but I just found out that my paper is fucking garbage. I read it and holy shit, I can't believe I submitted it like this. I was rushed by everyone around me because there was a different project I needed to do at the time. I missed the required font, reference style and honestly some things that I should have taken into accord I didn't. I'm fine with the content, but I'd expand it for at least a few pages. What's the etiquette? Can I resubmit it or is it a goner? How would I even go about doing that so that I at least end up looking like just a retard, instead of a disrespectful retard?

I don't see a "I take it back" option, but I really don't know and you should find out by asking.
Otherwise, if the content is so good you might just get that message back and you change it in the second run.
And you can always give it to another journal.

Hey /sci/, an aquatince of mine says that (1/0)=infinity.
Is he right?

lim x->0 1/x = +inf from the right, - inf from the left.
But it's still a limit, not the actual result.

No, because 0 times infinity does not equal 1.

This star is one of the most luminous stars known, it radiates as much energy as the sun does throughout the year, in around 20 seconds. It is located in the Pistol Nebula. It is invisible due to the interstellar dust in the way.

Having a solid base of algorithmic knowledge and technique is one characteristic that separates the truly skilled programmers from the novices. With modern computing technology, you can accomplish some tasks without knowing much about algorithms, but with a good background in algorithms, you can do much, much more.
To find /algorithm general/ look for Dijkstra's FUCKING FACE in the catalog

Is it possible to selectively breed an insect species under extremely Oxygen rich conditions and make them create offsprings with bigger insects, and possibly after dozens of generations, create a giant insect species ?

>>7978328
Sure, but it would take a whole lot of time.
Keep in mind that if you release them to our atmosphere outside of oxygen rich controlled conditions they will die, so you wont be able to unleash them to the population.
>>
honestly you can do anything with selective breeding. especially if you're talking about giving each insect a perfect environment for growth
>>
theoretically, if this was done under conditions that exactly a replicate of the conditions of the late carboniferous period, sure.
