Show an instance of a scientist "talking about information". They wouldn't, they would specify what the fuck they were talking about otherwise be labelled as useless hacks.

Like most words, "information" is vague and contextual. I can use it to refer to data as it would be conceptualised in an OS, use it to refer to some divisible component in DNA, I use it to refer to strings of text.

This is a shit thread, stop.

>>9097056
I think you're wrong. Take for example the "information" paradox of blackholes. If this term was solely used by hacks then persons such as Einstein and Hawking wouldn't waste their time talking about it.

Information is one of those concepts that has fallen into the mystical realm of popular science. It literally just means how many bits (or other units depends on the base of your log) it takes to encode a message.

"What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little cuck? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Wharton School of Business, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret under-the-table negotiations, and I have over 300 confirmed deals. I am trained in Twitter warfare and I’m the top winner in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another triggered snowflake. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit about me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of alt-right across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, hypocrite. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your livelihood. You’re fucking dead, weakling. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can ruin you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare lawsuits. Not only am I extensively trained in corporate blackmail, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Armed Forces and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little negative press “covfefe” was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit greatness all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, irrelevant clown." -- Donald Trump

look up his extensive publication history on google scholar and decide yourself.

Did you ever read that book where they make contact with aliens in Antarctica?

Basically a little baby.
Back in the 60s men actually walked on the moon.
In the 80s they were saying there'd be Titan bases by 2000.
Now they're saying maybe we'll make it to Mars by 2050
We're never leaving earth again.

kek, we'll probably see a nuke detonate before it comes to that

>surely SOME must be "average" right?
Not if you're using discrete people or your distribution is a weird shape. Alice is 5 feet tall. Bob is 6 feet tall. Average is 5.5 feet but 0 people are that height.
>49.999...%
=50%

>>9096734
if you use the terms "above average" and "below average" someone MUST be average

>>9096746
says who?

Nice blog post.

Perhaps you feel unaccomplished because you lacked the insight to pick up the manual we were all given in college by a cloaked figure who spoke ancient Dwarvish and carried a long mighty Dwarven blade with one hand, and an entourage of bitches in the other. Oh, which one was that...

So what your question you faggit?

>2017
>not taking your health into your own hands

>>9096484
This so fucking hard

even if you trust doctors to be good, remember that they are insanely overworked and being crushed to death under the march of capitalism and profits of their owners

that's why i'm in medical imaging, because fuck relying on other people if i can make a better way

>>9096491
You can always be a doctor yourself.

Eh, there's a lot of mathematicians who know diophantine equations and there's a lot of mathematicians in /sci/.

>What kind of companies would I work for?
McDonalds
>What kind of job could a mathfag get in computer graphics?
Designing aesthetic burger arrangement.

you could learn a lot about nurbs curves and solid modeling and shit and work for Autodesk or some other CAD company
it's not really graphics tho but related
you can also work on raytracers and shaders and shit, no idea how much demand there is for engineers in that area

>>9096380
You clearly are a noob, so...

>Book recommendations?
Fundamentals of Computer Graphics, Shirley

>programming languages?
C, C++

>What kind of companies would I work for?
ha. you are going to need more skills than just computer graphics to get a job anywhere. Even if you landed something heavily involved with computer graphics, like 3d animation, you'd need to have a good feel for things like physics.

Being a sociopath would be more helpful.
Give up a normie life and forget about ethics. Everyone else is either a roadblock or a tool to success, even your mom.

Have you ever wondered why bodybuilders don't compete in Olympic-level weightlifting contests, despite having ton of muscle? That's because they train in a way that results in denser muscle mass that is good for aesthetics but less good for strength.

>>9095976
what are you saying?
Is it in response to this?
>How? Why do thicker muscles lift more? Does that mean that with the same total muscle mass, the thicker muscle lifts more than the thinner muscle?


mind providing some sources? a little more explanation?

>>9095924
Nature is not scale invariant OP.

When the size of an animal is multiplied by x, its volume is multiplied by x^3 AND SO IS ITS MASS IN FIRST APPROXIMATION.

This is why these comparisons are irrelevant, the energy a huge animal needs to move is far more tremendous. The resistance of hard structures like bines etc are affected.
For instance elephants cannot jump.

Electrostatic attraction. While electrons do move around, the number of protons I the nucleus remain the same. The electron transfer creates positive and negative ions that hold each other together.

>>9095856
>why would two neutral atoms such as Na and Cl not just stay as neutrally charged atoms?
Because the movement of electrons is energetically favorable.

>>9095856
Each atom is more stable as ion rather than the neutral state. The reason for this is because each atom is the most stable when it has enough electrons to "fill" all orbitals fully.

Hay anon, can you check out this lump on my anus?

Aw, it's okay anon.

I'M NOT A FUCKING DOCTOR YET, SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.

If you're really trying to solve a problem, you wouldn't be stuck on it for weeks.

>>9095759
I guess I take more time hoping I'll come up with a solution. So it's usually days of trying to solve it again intermittently.
