I could not help but notice your png was not optimized anon.
I have optimized your png.
Your png is now optimized.

You just shift all n's to the left by 1.

[math]a_n = a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_{n-1}[/math]

The reason you don't do this is because the equation doesn't work when n = 1 (what's [math]a_0[/math]?). You'd have to specify that the equation only works at n > 1 which makes it more complicated to understand.

If you take [math] a_0 = 1 [/math] then [math] a_n = 2^{n-1}[/math] for [math] n\geq 1 [/math].

Fuck off back to /b/

Natural Language Processing in computer science is about that. Except they go into it at a very granular level. They try to capture patterns, statistical or compositional, in language by breaking it down. It doesn't get us far enough to start reasoning about high level abstract rules in writing.

But... I agree with you. Discipline should be enforced with your writing. Your story and plot should be structured, but the way you communicate it might have to be less stringent. If you're communicating a plot to others, you must relay that information in ways people are expecting or used to,

>>7687638
I learned basic programming using java and I think story generation is quite interesting.

But my current idea would be like approaching in terms of analizing plot structures, and seeing stuff like tropes and how they relate to produce the stories we see.

I wanna approach it like how music theory does it, with it's use of patterns (tropes, scenes).

I even see a story like a some kind of musical score where each instrument (character) plays a pattern/melody/phrase (trope).

You have been spending too much time on web sites of ill repute.

In high school, yes. Never bothered in university, because it was easy enough to meet girls elsewhere.

Here's an idea, though. Instead of waiting until next semester, how about you ask her on a date now?

>>7687636
She currently has a boyfriend. She said things aren't going well with him though. I'm just hoping I'm not already friend-zoned

>>7687632
This disparity in understanding may end up being something that insulates you from forming a real relationship with her.

I dont know if anyone has that jpg laying around but surveys said broad shoulders was first along with ass surprisingly

>>7687557
shoulders, ass, hands

>Shoulders/ chest
>Arms
>Ass
>core
>Face

Face needs to look cute, the rest need to look strong while also giving the impression of agility

yeah i do it, it generally helps when i'm re-reading my notes

i also do it on exams unless i'm rushed for time

I try to do it for every problem, unless the solution is super obvious, I'm pressed for time, or I'm not feeling motivated at the moment.

How in depth the comments are generally depends on how confused I was when I did the work. For problems that take me forever to solve, I might wind up writing a fucking book detailing everything and why.

>>7687509
Always, otherwise you'll get no clarity marks.

>>7687372
It really depends on the science.

if /sci/ knew how they would have invented something and not jerking themselves on about their schools on a chinese forum

>>7687372
i no rite?

Just being tsun, anon-senpai.

Because Philosophy is dead

Because many people who deal in science love absolutes, and loathe subjectivity. Unfortunate as it is.

Math books are expensive. Of course you can use libgen. But then you'll probably get distracted and decide to post on 4chan instead of reading them.

So, no, you don't need an academic position to publish

I do exercise regularly, but not for that reason.

Running makes you dumber, it is a waste of time for an intellectual.

How is neurogenesis beneficial? Does neurogenesis help with the overall function of cortical columns?

To suck some fucking dick.

To shit on the other side?

OP here.

Sorry I made this thread, guys. I knew this was garbage when I was making the thread, but I couldn't help myself.

I've been making a lot of bad threads lately. I just like the attention I get. I think the only way I can get myself to stop is if people just stop responding to my awful threads when I make them. Deep down, that's what I really want and hope for every time.

Please ignore all my terrible threads; they're just cries for attention.

The best way you can help me is to just ignore all my posts where I try stir up trouble or get attention, even ones claiming this isn't me.

Thanks in advance for not encouraging me.

The body wants to minimize effort at all times.
So people will be stupid on purpose so they don't have to think about complex topics. Astrology and Religion, Spirituality explain things in a simple context. It's just how normies are.

>>7686941
if dubs, astrology is a science

It's called psychology and it follows in their footsteps.

>>7686845
are you really this stupid?

>>7686845
This fucking guy..

>>7686845
Are you a real retard?

You might be smarter, but how would you demonstrate it? How would you even know for yourself that you're smarter than 12th centurians if you're incapable of demonstrating it?

What I mean is that, assuming it was just your body/mind that was transported back in time, you wouldn't have any technology to show them. Even if they did listen to anything you say, which is unlikely, they wouldn't give a shit or wouldn't understand most of what you have to say. None of it would be relevant, applicable, or translatable to their world. Also I can imagine that if you tried to criticise their reasoning or cultural norms, they'd just gut you.

>How would you even know for yourself that you're smarter than 12th centurians
More/better food, very little infectious disease, proper education

For a few decades last century the average IQ based on raw scores was 3pts higher per decade or some shit. Or in other words the average person now could go back to 1915 and get 130 on an IQ test. People today are demonstrably smarter than people not even that long ago.

I think reddit would be a better place for this thread. There you can circlejerk with equally cringeworthy people who also like to pretend they are polymaths just because they have a CS undegrad degree.
