What's MIT like? Is it full of nerds that invent crazy stuff just for fun, or is it just like any other uni but with more work? What are the best unis in the world like? Do people there do very wacky stuff instead of drinking and fucking like anywhere else?

420, now fuck off. I just want to know what life is like there, I may want to apply there, because the universities here are terrible so it's not worth me staying here. I just want to know if people pretty much do anything they want for science as I imagine it would be.

I have a friend in MIT currently and I've applied (although I can't really say I'm feeling confident about my chances) and what I've heard is that it's a bit of both, wherein the classes have big workloads but still people find time to work on personal projects. And I mean the school is fucking loaded so getting resources to create something is not too too difficult if you have a good thing going

I just spent almost 40 minutes on a single calculus exam problem. It was the last question too.

lim x->0 ( (3x^2 - 1) * cos^2(x) + 1 ) / ( 3x^2) )


I was able to plug in that cos^2(x) = 1 - sin^2(x). After that I had no fucking clue.

Calc-bros of /sci/, tell me how much of an idiot I am?

So I was reading this study:
https://www.nber.org/papers/w7322

So apparently the prestige of the college you attend doesn't really matter at all.

If you look at the results, it's pretty clear.

Can anyone give me a case against this?

I currently attend a more prestigious university with out of state tuition, and though my debt won't be enormous, I'm considering switching to a less prestigious institution in my home state considering that it most likely will not have any effect at all on the final outcome of my earnings in my career.

Anyone else in this same boat?

"We find that students who attended more selective colleges do not earn more than other students who were accepted and rejected by comparable schools but attended less selective colleges"


Just a quote from right there in the abstract...

Also this makes sense when you consider that IQ is pretty well correlated with income, and higher IQ people will be more likely to attend more selective colleges but this isn't necessarily causation, IQ is mostly genetic.
>>
>>7843671
yes it doesnt matter at all, i have solid evidence employers and university admissions tutors.
Case 1 when I attended UCL which is a top 5 British university the admissions tutor said that when selecting for a PhD he doesnt give a fuck where you did your undergrad. He himself admitted to attending Sussex university which is unknown.
Case 2, I dropped out of UCL because I wanted to do engineering and before going back to a university someone said to try engineering aprenticeships. I applied to Arup which is a top global civil engineering company, got rejected but I asked them if I reapplied with a civil degree does it matter where I went and they said absolutely not, that they train a lot of their engineers at South bank university which is super duper unknown. And get this: i told her (recruitment woman) that I asked because at school I was told that going to top universities makes a big difference hence why I went to UCL and she was very concerned even mentioning going to schools to dispel this myth.

Schools only tell kids this because having their kids attend top universities makes them looks good.

Consider the turing test. If you can't tell someone is an artificially intelligent robot, shouldn't you consider them equal to a human?

>But robots don't have free will
Who says we have free will? What if human brains are just computers with inputs and outputs?

>Robots can't truly love, they are programmed
That is assuming that love isn't just happy signals when you see someone

This is me. Due to reading about stirner, the Munchausen trilemma, Godel's discoveries, that webcomic that contrasts cavemen breaking rocks together with CERN, and realising that everything falls in to problem solving or stamp collecting, I have fallen in to a malaise. I think that hedonism is the only way out.

In the movie Interstellar, the characters land a shuttlecraft on a watery sattelite of the Giant Black Hole (Gigantor) which is so deep in the black hole's gravity well that time moves substantially more slowly and a few hours become years to the man waiting for them to return.

I realize I do not actually have any valid intuition about this situation but it doesn't strike me as possible.

Am I correct that a craft capable of descending into such a gravity well, stopping to drop off taikonauts and then returning would be capable of instead making a trip in some other direction (not into a black hole's gravity well) at a speed sufficient to cause the equivalent time dialation?

And I don't think we're supposed to think their craft is capable of doing that.
