Is it a retarded idea to develop personal assistant AI's a la IBM's Watson to work in industrial/academic labs to aid researchers?
At the very least they could do some titrations or give on-the-spot info via voice recognition.

Cortana turned to a bitch so its probably not a good idea.

So.../sci/ I'm 35...didn't pay attention in highschool.
My father passed away last week after taking care of him for 14 months (cancer) but I've finally found what I enjoy in life and want to do.
I fucking love science. I love every branch, I love the curiosity.
Downside?
I'm 35, no degree, no classes, just what I teach myself currently through discussions and lectures online.
How does someone my age go about building the ground work to get a career with NASA?
Yes, it's a long shot.
Yes, I don't have the greatest math skills.
I'm ambitious as fuck, I don't quit.
How do I integrate the characteristics I have and the passion I've found for science into a job, at such a late stage.
I constantly see 12 year old kids and shit just breezing through math, engineering.
It all seems so intimidating and I feel like nobody would take the time to work with me.
Classes seem to ahead of what I know (they require highschool cal classes, etc)
tl;dr
>35 year old anon finally realized he loves science, has no previous education in math or science but what I've taught myself.
How do I make this a possibility?
Looking into computer science areas mostly, but I'm also interested in an astronaut career.
forget about it you are too old.

You sound like a retard. I wouldn't get my hopes up if I was you.
Sup /sci/.
I'm a mathematician with an interest in psychometry. Currently thinking about creating my own IQ test, and I came to ask myself a few questions.
The overall IQ score should be a weighted average of verbal intelligence, pattern recognition, short term memory and spatial intelligence. But how should I weight these different areas.
Consider the extreme cases of an autist who can only into pattern recognition while having absolutely no verbal skills. Now consider the opposite, i.e. a rapper with extremely good verbal intelligence but who failed calculus in school. How should we compare these two? Which one would be more intelligent in the end?
Any input would be highly appreciated.
>>7800772
I remember... once upon a time... that intelligence was all about your brain. How good you were a math, physics, puzzles, etc.
Then people who were good at sports would called athletic. People who would have good verbal skills would be called articulate. A person with good social skills would be called outgoing. A person with artistic talent would be called talented.
Now to hell with you. People good at sports have 'spatial intelligence'. Good verbal skills have 'verbal intelligence'. Social skills is now 'social intelligence' and I'm sure they have some bullshit made up intelligence for art too, I've seen those pictures posted on fucking facebook one too many times.
I'm tired of this you fucking morons. No, you are not intelligent. You are not smart. You may be articulate, talented, athletic but you are not fucking intelligent. Stop making up definitions just because it makes you feel good.
I am not athletic and I don't give a fuck. You don't have to tell me that I am 'mentally athletic' or some bullshit like that. I am articulate too and that is fine.
Fuck right off OP, and take your gang of facebookers with you.
An IQ test cannot accurately predict the IQ of anymore more intelligent than its creators, so unfortunately your IQ test can only be used to tell if someone is mentally retarded or not.
Why just short term memory? Is being able to remember events and information accurately from long ago not a measure of intelligence?
What does /sci/ think about IQ tests, are they a reliable way of rating someones intelligence?
Yes. Unless you're a small IQ brainlet. Then you'll shitpost about IQ and bitch about people with high IQs.
I.Q. is a statistical means for smart people to compare dick size.
>>7800655
I see it that way.
It is a measure of how well you could answer questions related to "logic, pattern recognition, spatial visualization, etc" compared to other people. It may or may not fit your definition of intelligence.
It is not 100% reliable, it does not guarantee you anything, some tests are shitty, you'll do better on some days, etc
But it does measure something and it can help you learn about yourself.
Hey /sci/,
Where can I get books? Links in the sticky don't work anymore, those fuckers shut them all down. ebookee.org is the only website I can find.

How did you force your self to learn math /sci/?
The concepts seem very simple but I can't make my self remember any of it knowing that it's probably the most useless information I can put into my brain.
Remembering some stupid fact about some random celebrity can still be used in normal conversations later on.
Remembering how to work with polynomial equation will never have any application after I finish the class.
How did you trick yourself into remembering this stuff?
nice b8 m8
Eat some glycine. Shit's good for memotizing(might be a placebo effect, though it works to me)
I'm not into math myself, it's just a trick for your memory.
P.S glycine is not dangerous at all, any dose will do.
>>7799970
I'm being serious.
When was the last time you went to the store and needed to multiplying radicals or simplify a polynomial equation?
When did you first read your scientific article?
My favorite part of anal is when the girl bites the pillow.
Hey /sci/, How do i increase my chances of getting a life threatening disease like cancer if I don't smoke, drink or over-eat? Is it even scientifically possible?

Open up your smoke detector and swallow the americium.
Suppose you have multiple usb ports in a bus. You must connect them parallel, so that if one fails the other will work.
So the voltage on all the ports is the same, but the current will be lower.
Is a battery charges like a capacitor? The higher the current the faster it charges?
Why is there optimal voltage on batteries?
It has been a while since i studied physics in school so please explain this to me
Bump for knowladge
batteries. are. not. capacitors.
they use chemical process.
batteries have a resistance and are a voltage source.
plz google basic electronics
>>7802052
I said similar to capacitor in the sense that the higher the current the faster it charges.
Maybe i didn't explain it clearly enough but still...
How can we help more people understand the benefits of Common Core and teach that a deeper understanding of how numbers can be broken up is unfathomably more efficient than memorizing a fact like "8+5=13" or applying an algorithm?
>>7801488
Remove the association of Common Core being a package deal with the Arts. Many people dislike common core because they perceive certain biases in the more subjective subjects taught.
Also making the questions grammatically correct and make more sense wouldn't hurt.
>>7801488
That picture is so cancerous. Kids do this on their own if they're smart. They don't need you to shove it down their throats with confusing questions. I do this in my head and I didn't grow up on that common core garbage.
>>7801488
>a deeper understanding of how numbers can be broken up
yeah... in base 10.
>deep understanding
This is just a gimmick to do quick arithmetic and that's it.
Does anyone have any good resources for studying antenna design?
>>7799861
no sci/entist here but i remember chaos theory having something to do with it. something about having the most band space in the smallest area
search?q=antenna+theory
Try the NEC simulator. There are many variations and also front ends.
Get the ARRL antenna handbook. It is loaded with useful designs and calculations meant to be put into practice.
Any classified material from the inoffical apolo 18-20 Missions would be very nice. Ultra High Resolution (unedited) would be rewarded with global chaos. :-)

Here is a photo of the moon landing.
Nothing unusual about it is there?
Untill you ask yourself one question.
Who took the photograph?
Can someone tell me why this is newsworthy?
I mean it's not the first time Planet X has been hypothesises it exist.
Seriously are people so casual about astronomy or something?
I knew about the possible existence of this planet for years & years.
