OK, Hearthstone.
Lets say my deck has all 30 different cards.
How do I calculate my chance to draw a specific card after I tried drawing it for X amount of times?

For example, what is my chance to draw a specific card After I have been trying to draw it for the past 14 draws and each time I draw a card I obviously discard it.

If you're talking about QM and you're a determinism, then you've fundamentally misunderstood [math] a ~ lot [/math] of your lectures.
>>
>>7904452
simple deterministic systems can appear complex and random, quantum mechanics might also be such a system.
>>
>>7904452
I thought it would take more posts to bring QM, but I obviously know this would be important for the discussion.
If I am correct just the Copenhagen interpretation of QM is not deterministic. There are deterministic interpretations of it.

Why do we still need bytes? Why can't we just address individual bits? 64-bit system can address 16 exabits. Why the hell can't I have a 3-bit integer? Or 11-bit integer? And what is all this structure padding bullshit?

It's the established standard for computer architectures. Everything from CPUs to address busses are designed with that standard in mind.

Nothing to do with technical capability, it's just a standard.

ay guys,

I'm in that situation. We've all been there. I have a midterm in a week, and I don't know my shit.

however, the class is Real Analysis (rudin's book) and the school is UC Berkeley.

it's a really harshly curved class, with a lot of smart kids. how do I do it? how do I pack 6 weeks of Rudin into one week? I'm about half-way to where I should be

I) Adderall?
2)no sleep?
3) ???

To be honest, it's not really possible to learn proof based math within a short period of time like you can with most subjects.

I have no advice,

any other advice?

Is smoking weed in anyway remotely helpful to being smarter and/or doing well on tests or school?
If so, is it better to do it immediately before studying, or the test itself, both or neither or something else entirely?

What do you think the odds are that we will develop immortality within our lifetimes? How would one go about studying it or trying to achieve it?

>>7901091
0. Just stop with this pathetic pleading and accept your mortality.
>>
>>7901091

The odds are very high that immortality from tevhnology is within our lifetime's reach in my opinon.surely,social media is the embodiment of what immortals will become.

But you know what?Immortality is a mortal's greedy fantasy.It is misplaced as being a good thing when the bad clearly outweighs the good.
>>
>>7901105
No, no one "accepts" the fact their entire existence will become null in a matter of years. People who claim they can are just ignoring it, which isn't the same. The truth is there is nothing worse than death, if you think we can't stop it, fine, but there really isn't a reason to give a shit about anything then.

level 5 fireball + level 5 fireball does 5 damage turn 1 and 5 damage on turn 2.

Charge + level 5 fireball does 0 damage on turn 1 and 10 damage on turn 2.

Fireball can not crit and has a x% chance to miss.

What levels of x(hit) is fireball+fireball favored over charge+fireball and vice versa

Did oral sex play a part in human evolution?

By selecting mates who's teeth didn't hurt their junk... did our ancestors cause us to not have vicious teeth like most animals?

Teeth are the first stage of digestion, not cock obstacles. Different teeth of different animals are adaptations for that animals diet.

>>7900980
So, it did change out teeth, and now humans are adapted for a diet of cock and pussy?
>>
>>7901001
Compare a nigger
to a human being
and you will see if our teeth evolved much or stayed pretty much the same.

my GPA is 2.8. fucking seriously? how big does your dick need to be to get a fucking scientific initiation? do you prefer some chinese robot that gives zero fucks about the field or someone who is genuinely interested on what you do?

>2.8 GPA

Anyone can write a letter.
Anyone can google a few buzzwords and pretend to be interested on something
Anyone can spend some minutes thinking about the buzzwords and give a plastic 'observation' about a topic.

If you were actually passionate about your subject your GPA would literally 4.0. What excuse do you have for this to not be the casE? How strong is your passion if you couldn't even manage a >3.0 GPA, which is the lowest acceptable grade.

Yes, I mean this. If you graduate with a GPA lower than 3 you might aswell have not gone to university at all.

I'm sorry friendo, you just got the retard treatment a retard like you deserves.

>>7900511
Do you think that there aren't people who have passion and can perform at least okay in classes?

2.8 gpa is pretty fucking mediocre, and is a huge warning to an adviser that research is over your head
