I just proved that time is made up of indivisible parts of time in pic related (the picture attached to this post). Which is just one proof/deductions in a series of proof/deductions. with each getting more impressive, important, and relevant than the previous one.

Kidding.

But is that all you have to say? Com'n now, I put a lot of thought and effort into making this. It was the hardest proof until you get to figuring out what the first few indivisible parts of time were.

What exactly do mathematicians even do?

April (October in the southern hemisphere) is the month where the most seasonal warming occurs and it slows in May. This is brought on by seasonal lag which is caused by the oceans. Learn more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_lag

You are driving in a car. Another car is driving towards you. A head on crash will occur.

Is it safer for you to be moving faster or slower than the other car?
54 posts and 9 images submitted.
>>
>>7959130
Velocity is relative. You're moving at the same speed as the other car, relative to him, always.
>>
Slower. But this also depends how elastic the crash will be and what car model.

Vw bug vs vw bug or vw bug vs hummer, etc.
>>
Doesn't matter. Say the other car is going 45mph and you manage to slow down to 25mph you will still feel the forces of a 70mph crash which will more than likely be fatal if head on.

No. What would be the purpose? If the technology existed to make a giant floating carrier so fuel efficient it could be used as a reliable way to transport air assets, the same tech could be used to make the air assets so fuel efficient they didn't need a carrier to begin with.

After Microsoft's TayTweets AI bot got taught by /pol/ they shut it down to rework it. This got me thinking about things.

Obviously there was a bias in this case regarding who's actually teaching the AI, but in generally, if an AI became a neonazi of its own accord (perhaps nobody knew it was watching, so never interfered with it), is it ethical to re-write and "reeducate" it to match safe social norms? Or is that just how it turned out?

Is the point of AI's who learn socially to simply be a reflection of normalised social attitudes, sifting its way to the centre of the bell-curve on all topics? If so, what's the point? You'd just end up with an uninteresting fence-sitter. If not, who has the moral authority to direct it to some particular standpoint (in this case, MS will probably make her "socially progressive" for example)?

Tay/AI general if you like.

especially when you solve the same test yet again.

saved your time. youre welcome! (°-°)

serious:
if youre young enough and youre at least a bit interesed in it, it might help somehow.
(do not look for the solutions, do it yourself, no matter how long it takes)

but im also sure the effect will decline.
heard that solving sudoku is no more good brain train when you use deadlocked sequences.

How do you rationalize death /sci/?
It could be your death, the death of someone you care about, the death of strangers.
How do you deal with the knowledge you will die, your loved ones will die, and your loved ones have died?

It just something that happens, and there's nothing wrong with being dead, the process of dying is far worse.
