> What's the holdup with Quantum computing and Ai
The AI program. Once you figure out how to create a program that can literally "learn" and spread it to scan the internet, you will have a sentient AI that can think, decide and worst of all knows pretty much everything about humanity.

>>7808068
That's not a specific hangup. AI research is being done so what problems are they encountering?

>Quantum computers are better at machine learning
I swear to god, this fucking meme will never die.

This better be good.

>>7807932
C'mon, son.

>>7807932
For starters you could post a question and stop waisting precious room with your shit thread

If it's not to much to ask for, I would need both solution and answer

>>7807905
I remember doing that in high school.
Nice trolling, by the way. 6/10
Impolite sage.

:(

1) Nothing, time began and so did the universe at that moment.
2) However if you believe in the multi-verse, string theorists hypothesize that the big bang was the collision of two universes. There are many more hypothesis some stronger than others.
3)Hawking Radiation
4)Depending on the cosmological constant, the universe with either keep on expanding (gravity between all the objects in the universe does not overwhelmingly attract), become stagnant and static (gravity eventually equals out) or there will be a big crunch or reverse big bang (gravity overwhelms all masses in universe)
5)Given the data we have in evidence of the big bang, CMB and 3K temperature, it is a strong indication that the 2nd law is universal

>>7809175
How do universes collide, wouldn't there need to be something that contained both universes? Sounds paradoxical. And isn't the universe geometrically flat?

>>7809188
No space time is (as far as we know) "flat" which means euclidean geometry works.
That has nothing to do with being flat as you and I imagine it

>So far I've been doing the coursera course here https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning/

That course is not the same course that andrew teaches at stanford.

MATLAB.

>>7808556

True, I never imagined it would be, being a free online course, but it's a great introduction to the fundamentals. Also, having the material laid out week-by-week with structured and logical progression really helps.

>>7808593
I'm just looking for books, thanks.

>>7807288
Yeah, that's how the ISS and other things were constructed.

>>7807299
Yeah, but like, a ship that's meant to get out of orbit.

>>7807288
That actually kind of makes sense unless you intend to carry things on the ship, because then you'd need another ship big enough to bring that stuff out to orbit

>>7807248
Is this a variation on Ehrenfests paradox?

>>7807248
wouldn't it just look like half its size, with the outer half being too fast to see

>>7807248
>What, if any, are the relativistic effects of a solid body where there's some portion that's at zero relative speed to the other portion of the body?
The relativistic effects are that the body does in fact break and your assumption is contradictory.

A Beautiful Mind is a movie about a mathematician and I think thats the best you are going to get.

That's a documentary giving a flavor of the working life

I sort of kind of also like the BBC series Dangerous Knowledge with 20 minute segments on some giants who killed themselves (Cantor, Boltzmann, Gödel, Turing),
but I don't really want to recommend it too much for the cringeworthy attemps to explain the math behind the issues they talk about.

There is a really good PhD thesis turned history book called "Modern algebra and the rise of mathematical structure" which discusses the perception of the meaning and content of the field called "Algebra" between, roughly, 1850 to 1950, i.e. from Galois to Grothendieck.

I thought most undergrad classes were watered down filth taught by people pissed off at having to teach something below them to idiots, half of whom would drop out before the end of the year.

>>7803671
Did you already graduate?
Do you have a job now?
Is this just a regret thread for the sake of regretting?

>>7803671
If you're so smart you'd realize that formal education is primarily about purchasing credentials. The education portion of it is a distant second, it's only there along with testing to screen out retards so the credentials still mean something. If every degree required you to know the full width and breath of a certain subject matter, you'd be in fucking school until you were 55 years old.

You got your fancy paper saying you're passably competent, if you're still curious, go research what you want to know on your own, or go get employed and learn from experience.

Actually, wouldn't this belong to a philosophy board better?
I think I might have fucked up here.

you don't care about ants feelings if you want to build a house on their anthill. It really depends on how advanced they are compared to us.

Also they could be used to discovering civilizations as advanced as ours, and think nothing of destroying us, maybe it's even the moral thing to do for them.

>>7808545
So... aliens do not have the same motivations or goals as humans. They can build a habitat in space if they need to, to house any number of their species, they do not need to 'colonize' our planet or any other planet. They can get resources from literally everywhere, there is no natural material they can't get somewhere or produce themselves

Nor do they want to make 'friends' they have everything they need. Nor are they 'curious' they already know who we are and how we're going to turn out.

The only single interest they have in humanity is our DNA. Also the DNA of other creatures on earth.

We are the only weirdo species ever to think conquering habitable planets is something that is 'natural' to intelligent species or to think there is somehow a competition for resources in a practically infinite galaxy.

If I understand my genetics correctly, trisomy people are infertile/ sterile. So no.

It's perfectly possible to genetically engineer a pig to have a human uterus, human eggs and give birth to human babies, but chromosomal defects are not propagatible traits.

We get it, you're an edgy teenager. You can stop shitposting now.

The sun is not directly above the clouds in this photo. The rays are also being diffracted.

2D picture of 3D space. y it look diffent??

Train tracks are parallel and yet appear to converge just like the rays.

that's the dumbest shit.

I fap at least 4 times a day and usually fap when taking a break from homework. Doesn't affect my ability to do homework/study/understand concepts in lecture at all

>>7808358
Interesting, maybe all this NoFap bs is getting to me. By the way what's your IQ?

>>7808361

there's no point in doing nofap. and i think 118 last time i took the iq-test.dk that gets posted here

Jew lies desu senpai.

>>7808345
Because every integer is also a rational number (except for 0)

>>7808345
You just haven't tried hard enough.

Approximately 0.075264647%.

It would wipe out the human race.

Don't be dramatic.

A 50m asteroid will at best kill millions of people.
