Impurities in the water are the main concern, otherwise there's no reason it wouldn't work after being completely dried.

>>7930237
mineral deposits in the water left on the board can short it out once its powered again

>>7930247
>>7930253
Oooooh.

So if it's deionized water is technically fine? So say could I drop an entire computer tower (assuming no internal batteries) into a pool and it could be ok after it dries?

I assume you're talking about irrational numbers like the square root of two or pi.

>How can a number go on indefinitely without repeating?

How can you count indefinitely and not repeat? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 omg seems like it must stop right?

>Especially one that represents a physical property in the real world, like the length of something.

What does that have to do with anything?

>I assume you're talking about irrational numbers like the square root of two or pi.

Yes.

>What does that have to do with anything?

Because the object ends.

>>7930191
>Because the object ends.

The object has a finite size and pi (or whatever) is a finite number. What's the problem?

>>7930082
>tensors/manifolds impossible?

no they are just ugly. deal with it or study an aesthetically pleasing field instead.

>>7930082
Nigga what.

What do you mean by impossible? A Manifold is just a Hausdorff Top. Space with "charts" that map portions of the manifold into R^n.

It seems unreasonable to assume that the forces or particles would be any different. They're called the building blocks of the universe for a reason.

>>7929974
Building blocks of our universe, sure. But what guarantee is there that they would form in exactly the same way in another universe?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but under the theory of the Big Bang, at the start when all matter and energy were condensed into a single point, there were no individual forces or particles. Only after the rapid expansion did "things" - for lack of a better term - come into being.

In that case, why would Universe B have to result in the same "things" we got in our universe?

9=X^3
The answer is the cube root of nine,
and nine to the two thirds for y.

>>7929904
that's not even close to correct
how did you even come up with such a wrong answer?

Youre mom

I bet I fucking bet you didn't balance the charges but only the masses.

>>7929604
Can a computer contain a larger virtual machine within it? Can you repeat this process forever making an infinitely powerful computer? How many bits would it take to do so?

>>7929606
Well, any information can be made to represent other information, so...

No need for bumping. Can't you see that they're all busy gorillaposting, bearposting, etc.

>how will society deal with such upheaval?

This shit's already been discussed to death.
Capitalism will suffer. Universal income will be established.

>>7929347

Not with the current political climate.

>>7929350
The political climate will inevitably change when the automation revolution comes. Common sense.

If I had to guess, I would say that it's the lack of clearly defined physiological pathologies with mental illness that is holding the field back. While there are very realizable effects when it comes to medications, this is partly because we know what we need to affect within the brain to get the results we want, but not always what is causing the pathology. For instance, in disorders like ADHD (>implying it's real) we have ideas that the source of inattentiveness stems from dopamine receptor inactivation in the Basal Ganglia. However, we would never be able to take a healthy human and lesion their basal ganglia based on a theory. It's impossible for us to know whether environmental factors cause ADHD symptoms or whether it's solely the biology, or perhaps a combination of both.

In addition, we cannot advance the field of psychiatry medically until we understand the brain completely. Neuroscience is still a relatively new field, and we still don't fully
comprehend everything we need to fully understand how physiological changes produce all behavioral
effects.

Another thing you will find frustrating is that mental disorders and illnesses can be caused from many different things and usually a disease is rather a subset of associates symptoms that really can manifest from many different causes, like Autism. There is strong evidence that Autism is a gender based hereditary disease caused by specific gene mutations, due to its particular prevalence in men. This would suggest that it is carried on the X chromosome, as men only have 1 copy. Now, researchers have found genes they believe to cause Autism, and there is a lot of evidence supporting their hypothesis. However, there are many people who are symptomatic that do not have the aforementioned genetic mutation.

All of this combined with relatively wide criterion for diagnosing mental illness makes mental illness easier to manage than cure. Just my thoughts on my way to work, you may disagree.

>>7929018
Another thought I have on this is that there is no real way to surgically cure mental illness, at least with the technology we have today. I suppose we could lesion out the parts of the brain that cause the illness, but that's if we could even localize the illness or prove that it's the sole factor in causing it. We know that people who suffer from clinical depression have different activations in their frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex, the center of higher reasoning In the brain. But it's not that simple, as it doesn't do the job alone. Furthermore, we can't just take the frontal lobe out of someone without horrible effects. This leaves medication and therapies such as deep brain stimulation as our only currently viable options.

>>7929018
Interesting view.
My own opinion is basically that while the mind is obviously correlated with the goings on in the brain, it is in fact an information system and thus can't be treated as a purely mechanical one as you can with the rest of the body. This for me seems like it could explain the discrepancy in results between psychiatry and the rest of medicine despite them using basically similar approaches.

The analogy I would pick would be that it's like trying to fix your windows install by dipping your hard drive in a chemical bath.

but there was no controversy

What controversy?
