All we need is a self-replicating nanobot designed to kill humans, shouldn't be too much to ask.

>>7811920
Rumours are that working sex bots will also lead the the (slow) extinction of the human race.

>>7811916
we are still so very very far away from anything remotely close to AI. we won't have AI till we basically create true synthetic brains, and thats not going to happen until we actually figure out how our brains work.

shit, we don't even have the power supply or linear actuators required to make a decent android, OP's pic is uncanny as fuck.

Don't ever fucking post on my board again unless you have something meaningful to contribute.

I don't get it, why do you guys hate everything that's popular?

I'd seriously like to know what's wrong with it, in a non-ironic kind of way, mr. cool-anon sir. (not OP)

>steep decline in biodiversity

Source? I'll remind you that animals have gone extinct at roughly the same rate they've come into existence for about as long as life has existed on Earth

Halocene extinction
Extinction is part of existence and new species will sometimes adapt to fill the void.
but does that mean we should artificially create the void?

>but does that mean we should artificially create the void?

If it benefits humans, yes. Why not?

Please ur on /sci, go fuck urself

Maybe ? is a variable to solve for.

?^3 = 64.8
? = 4.o2 (my zero key is broken and I can't even close these brackets. fk.

>>7811704
If 0.999... equals 1 and the sum of all numbers is -1/12 then OP's equation might as well be true. Math is logical my ass. The system of numbers is flawed.

Who is this semen demon

>>7811154
This is a well-written article on him:

>>7811148
Damn, I wasn't even aware he died. RIP.

So?

You name is "~"?
What a strange name

While this is not strictly off topic for this board, nor is it traditional shitposting, I still feel like my time was wasted.

This is the format I'm using to interpret the data at one point in time.

I'm not too sure but my first intuition would be this

http://sphweb.bumc.bu.edu/otlt/MPH-Modules/BS/BS704-EP713_Confounding-EM/BS704-EP713_Confounding-EM7.html

I would need to read up. I have that text book available so a page or reference would help me.

>>7812297
Thanks, I'll give this a read through.

It's not actually something from the book, but my supervisor gave me this one to read because he thought it might contain something for it.
I haven't been able to find anything about this kind of comparison so far though.

It is called love.

are the equations linear in x,y,z?

System of linear equations? Linear algebra

>>7811798
bump. also, pic unrelated.

With your brain

Hmm. I have a copy of ballieres anatomy from 1911. It is essentially fine sheets of tracing paper that provide 'slices' all the way through (in my case a heart). I see ballieres still exist, maybe that format still in production?

Obsolete spelling of the word deceit- with a p

If we talk about real names (ones that are/were already given to somebody at birth) then basic binary search through alphabet until using list of names becomes more effective ( for example if its male name and first four letters are alad then you might as well try asking if its aladin)

Or at least that's what i think on avarage would be the most efficient

>>7808488
Does his name have to be discovered in the form of a question, like "is your name _____?" Or do you simply have to produce the name on your own and say it for it to count?

If the latter is true, the answer is zero, since you could technically not ask a single question and run through every possible combination of the 8 letters algorithmically until you get it right.

>>7808488
If his name is actually a name and not just a random string of 8 characters then:

Get a list of all names. You assume this list includes all names.

Reduce the list to only male names.

Start randomly checking (as in is it b? c?, etc.) for the first letter.

Reduce list to only names who start with this letter

Randomly check for the last letters of names that start with the first letter.

Reduce list to only names that end with that letter

Repeat process by then going to the second letter and then the second before last letter, then third letter and so on until your list is reduced to one entry.

How many tries would this take? I don't know, I don't have the list.

gg well played.

Thats the thing, the shadows are just the abscence of light where the energy is on our body leaving the shade on the ground. Based on heat alone im willing to say their is less energy in the shadows

>They are certainly capable of reasoning that can consistently beat human opponents.
no

>I am curious at the progress of artificial intelligence
You aren't, or you would be reading journals on it or an introductory book like bishop

>We know that Chess programs can adapt themselves and essentially learn from their mistakes.
Genetic algorithms are especially bad at chess

>What is lacking in A.I?
You can't ask what's lacking if you don't bother checking what's there

Not the retarded op . Bishop book ? Elaborate and would that be after norvig . Also what mathematical background would be preferable
