I can't find any actually funny, no-cliche science jokes.
Do any /sci/entists out there have some good original science, math, etc. jokes that don't suck?
>>7979038
Try proofwiki's jokes page, it's confirmed for the most autistic place on the internet. For instance
[math]$\int\frac{1}{\mathrm{cabin}} d\mathrm{cabin}=\ln{\mathrm{cabin}}+C$[/math]
[math]$=\mathrm{houseboat}$[/math]
>>7979061
Shit...How do you do display math on /sci/?
>>7979064
It's easy! Well, not that easy. But it's better now than it used to be.
1) First, whatever LaTeX code you wish to employ, must ultimately be contained in the body of your 4chan post, and correctly formatted, /before/ you hit "post".
2) 4chan, specifically /sci/'s native implementation, entails that you must always enclose the body of your LaTeX code inside "math" tags, which are specific to this board, and not generic LaTeX commands as-such. In front, simply type "math" without the quotes, and then enclosed in the square brackets, for a total of 6 characters. On the end of whatever you're writing, do the exact same with the /single addition/ that you include the forward-slash / in between the left bracket and the letter m. This declares the end of your math code. IIRC "sci" tags have accomplished the same thing in the past here, and maybe they still work, but I haven't tried them in well over a year. Maybe they work too.
3) I don't think the mods or hot pocket men appreciate threads specifically about LaTeX, which can be frustrating for a beginner here. Still, the "stupid questions" threads are tolerated, so they're as good a place as any to sandbox when necessary, just don't be a nuisance with it.
4) in the quick reply floating window, which can be accessed by clicking on a post number in a thread, at top left of the window is a "TeX" symbol which leads to an internal sandbox space where you can work on your thing. It is now (finally) fairly robust; about a year ago when mootikins was still in office, the board outsourced this sandbox function to a third party site, and functional pieces of code I'd write there would not port to this board. Something about math mode, or not having the right libraries/implementation worked up. It's been mostly fixed for now.
5) For maximum legibility once you're confident enough to use large operators, I /strongly/ recommend always declaring /displaystyle right at the beginning. For the rest, search.
So if "it's not the volts that will kill you, it's the amps" then why do all the warning signs around electric fences say "DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE" and not "DANGER: HIGH AMPERAGE"?
>>7975167
V=IR
>>7975167
Because that statement isn't true. It is the combination of the two that matters.
>>7975167
>it's not the volts that will kill you, it's the amps
These meme need to die.
>it's not the bullet that kills you, it's the loss of blood xDxDXDD
Should we be afraid of designer babies?
>>7978543
Not really. Designer children will eventually replace all the newer generations of 'normal' children. The normal people like us will be long dead before a conflict between superior humans and normal ones can occur.
>>7978546
Why are you so sure anon?
>>7978602
Can't be 100% sure, this is just my prediction. Feel free to suggest an alternative prediction, if you have one, or offer criticism to mine.
is this legit? proofs?
Shame ayy lmao
>>7978145
body heat?
>>7978145
This is supposed to be thermal camera images of the variance from 'neutral' when undergoing those emotions?
The burger goes into complexity,
tl;dr
if you set up a language, say with "1,2,3...,+,*,^,(,)" and potentially hyperexponentiation [math]\Delta [/math], so that
[math] 10\Delta 3:=((10^{10})^{10})^{10} [/math] or whatever (or any other operation).
In the worst case, a 7 digit number number like 4523255 has complexity C(4523255)=7.
but some numbers, like 4782969=9^7 actually have smaller complexity C(4782969)=3.
For the most part, C(n) behaves like log_10(n), corresponding to the cases where you need to use digits in base 10 and there is no representation using +,*,^ or whatever you introduce.
Up to numbers around [math] 10\Delta 10 [/math], the complexity typically grows [math] 10\Delta 9 [/math], except of course for the occasional stuff like [math] 7\Delta 8 [/math], which is an absurdly large number that nevertheless has just [math] C(7\Delta 8)=3 [/math] in your language.
With the value [math]VMU:=10\Delta 4[/math] he argues is basically the length of symbols you can use to express a number (quote: if you manage to build a Galaxy scale computer where storing stuff with [math]10\Delta 4[/math] symbols can be achieved), then most numbers in the interval (on those kind of scales) around them are naturally off limits.

>>7975566
The hard part is the illustrative examples. All of the examples that people will use will either require the axiom of choice or an infinite logical sentence, neither of which he deems acceptable.
>>7975561
That's actually pretty interesting. Is he actually looking for a hard number upon which to base ultrafinitist mathematics or is he just exploring the general area?
Also has he done any videos explaining how he handles induction?
After starting to study math, I've realized 99% of the human population is completely incapable of making any logically coherent argument.
Anyone else?
Reading statistics too has been kinda depressing. It's pretty much impossible to read the news nowadays.
>>7978448
wow OP you're such a genius i doubt anyone will be capable of understanding your pain
i hope you're enjoying calc I
>>7978448
>99% of the human population is completely incapable of making any logically coherent argument.
[citation needed]
>>7978452
he's not entirely wrong, most people lack real critical thinking skills.. probably not 99% in any case, but still
what OP fails to realize is ANYONE can develop them, save for the truly mentally retarded
Is it safe to drink water straight from the tap? What are objectively the potential dangers of doing this?
I live in Texas btw.
>>7977373
What part of Texas?
Every city and community will have different sources and ways of treating water.
>>7977378
Houston area.
>>7977373
It's cleaner than bottle water unless your pipes are old or live near a fracking well.
According to probability, what is the best way to shuffle a pack of cards?
throw the deck into the air
>>7977088
Casinos washboard theirs.
>>7977088
there is some theory that 7x of the overhand shuffles will be considered sufficiently random. i dont recall the name
Is it possible to know true boredom without a BCI?
Will you still be here when the singularity hits and you can literally shitpost without moving your eyes?
Are neural uplinks everything everyone wants them to be?
Also does anyone has that pic about the absurdity of singularitarianism? I forget to save it.
Here OP, this the one you lookin for?
>>7975392
Yessss, that's the one. Thank you anon! Saved.
>>7975392

Hey faggots, just wondering how much more difficult is linear algebra and diff equations compared to calc 1 and 2?
>>7979045
もしもし、baitoーです。
>>7979058
I'm not trolling.
I think it depend on the college, but overall I find linear algebra easier and DE is about the same difficulty
Is automata theory a legit field of mathematics or just some CS babby shit?
It is. Think about Turing and stuff
>>7978844
Can you rephrase that as an automata? I'm having a hard time solving the halting problem otherwise.
>>7978873
Turing is famous for being a faggot first, mathematician second.
Is measure theory a meme?
What sort of thing you see on measure theory? Does fubbini shit counts as it?

Hi guys I need help really bad. Ive got a chemistry paper which needs to be handed in tomorrow and I need to add one little bit of information to get the last mark.
So what is the prefix or suffix for a Phenylamine ???
>>7978720
Adenine
Is that an example? or the suffix?
is it "ine" ?
I kinda believe this is 100% real. Why don't "they" want us to know the truth.
>>7978319
They are funny guys.
It's more plausable than a flat Earth, but justifying it is about the same.
>>7978319
get a calculator and try to approximate how dense the earth should be to have the same weight then.
though i know there is a lot of crazy shit that might make you assume the earth is hollow, it is bullshit.

stop paying attention to online iq tests
IQ is useless if you don't give it a good use
I would never hire a 200+ genius that all it does is sit on his fat ass all day bragging about how smart he is
>>7978307
If you want to do math/physics/whatever then just forget about your IQ and do it. After you have failed start crying about being born stupid or whatever. Just take care not to start crying and give up because the IQ test gave you 99.
