wew lad

thats the sum of zeta functions you fucking retard

read it wrong, thought it was the -1/12 meme

But you are still a retard

Grandis series, why are you being so aggressive dude?

>>7944367
Interesting. My dad is pretty much ambidextrous. I think he's slightly Asbergers.

The study I just googled said increased risk of ADHD, dyslexia, doing badly at school, but most kids were OK.

You can train yourself to write with your non-dominant hand but it's hard if you're not naturally ambi.

Will you gain any benefit from learning to write with your non dominant hand?

i've switched from using mouse in right hand to left hand before, but what's the point?

Isn't that just a straight line at y = 1?

Yeah, it works, but I'd like to know a system for resolution of the problem, instead of just trial and error.

you'd die a very very painful death

What about cesium hypofluorite? Would changing the cation up or down Group I have an effect on how well it cleans laundry?

The same as that for white guilt probably.

>What purpose does the field of mathematics serve to the public?
Almost nothing, philosophy is what build democracy, empires, armies, etc
>What benefit do you get out of studying mathematics that you otherwise would not have?
Having to memorize a lot of equations that you will never use is good for memorizing stuff that you will use

>>7943433
1. Math "trickles down", corollaries fall through from pure to applied and from applied to natural sciences, eventually becoming tools for use in physics, biology, engineering, chemistry, etc.

2. Math is like an art. Keeps the brain sharp, and allows me to explore a highly technical creative activity which I enjoy.

>>7943433

Literally everything.

I just find it interesting.

you are what? you don't know the body you know isn't a hologram

the real answer is: we don't know. we can't know. we don't care. these questions are useless. we could be in a dream for all we care, it doesn't matter

That's where your stoner bullshit hits its limits.
I have a laptop.
No matter how "virtual" our reality is, the computing power of my laptop is real.
If we're living in a simulation, computing power of my laptop is a subset of the computing power of the simulator.
If we build a holographic universe, its inhabitants might build a simulated universe of their own.
But the ultimate top-end simulator MUST possess a limited amount of processing power.
Shit can only be nested so far.

P!=NP should be a physical law.
The universe would be fundamentally different if it were true.

>it can't really be a chaotic system where small changes make big differences

it is exactly that

>So could there be a correlation between lack of diversity in a society and success?

imagine there is a small population with lack of diversity, say a group of aryans, perfect looking on the outside. mutations happen, nothing cant stop that, sometimes they can be reversed, sometimes they remain, they replicate during dna replication etc, that leads to a different aminoacid -> different protein, broken enzyme, depending on when the mutation occurred, it could be a single enzyme, or it could be lots, boom you have a disease. now this aryan procreates with another aryan, nothing may happen, but if it does, you have a bigger chance that the next offspring brings about the disease, chances are small, but it can happen, and since youre talking evolution, you have to think big, think thousands - millions of years, you will have a greater part of that population that might carry a potential killer gene (im exaggerating), the smaller the population, the greater the chance that the next generation will get sick -> more deaths -> smaller pop. you get the gist

>Can it be that large parts of DNA are codependent?

its such an intrincate process, look up the central dogma in molecular biology, basically dna -> rna -> proteins, then you have mutations, transposons, etc, after a while you start thinking, how the living fuck can everything work so machinelike

might have rambled on for a bit

>>7942968
With chimpanzee we have 1% difference in our genes. What has been told to me, our alleles are quite different however. Meaning that our gene to build toe is in the same place, but the actual building data is very different.

>>7942968
No no no. You don't understand. The genetic material is highly conserved over ALL species! We are genetically 75% similar to the tiny small worm, c. Elegans .

We share genes with Horseshoe crabs even.

I just posted this in another thread. Evolution and natural selection don't work to produce something that works the best or most efficient. things that are selected for just have to work. Biological systems are terribly inefficient and in an ideal world we would have wheels instead of legs.

>Can it be that large parts of DNA are codependent?

In a way, of course! When we significantly modify a gene, we are causing a loss/change of function in a particular protein. The expression of this protein may have significant effects downstream and via negative feedback loops and cascades could affects many many other genes/proteins/other variables in the organism. Everything in an organism is connected via biological mechanisms and this is true for all species on this planet.

just divide by 1 instead, and pretend it never happened.

0/0 is 0
mindfuck: numbers are not even real, you have to think of it as numerators and denominators

>>7942923
>0/0 is 0
It isn't, you have to take limits. 0/0 can be anything.

Ask them

in theory there's a chemical that's released in you're brain when you're about to die, but it could be triggered by you actually THINKING that you're going to die, which probably wouldn't happen if you're asleep
so I dunno maybe

*your
please forgive me

ln nigga

>>7942441


ln(x^x)=ln(2) <=> x*ln(x)=ln(2)

Where would you expand it from there?

>>7942438
can't be solved analytically

>>7942376
Genetic engineering's fairly new to humanity. Perhaps find a textbook.

>>7942391
It sounds to me like they're looking at this from a more guided evolution standpoint that direct gene splicing.
