I don't, I just like the picture.

Helium definitely not, it would be completely impractical. You probably could asphyxiate them with high percent nitrogen air mixtures, but that would also be extraordinarily expensive (just in terms of time required making vacuum sealed rooms), and it may affect the quality of the meat. Anything other than nitrogen would be too expensive to be considered.

Helium is expensive and it has more important uses than in animal slaughter, Mr. Sad Frog.

Sure. Its even more potent if you apply homeopathic principals. So one sugar molecule will literally cure all cancers. Big farma of course doesn't want you to know this secret.

>Is the placebo effect really as powerful as people claim it is?

Depends on how powerful "they" say it is. It's important to remember that just because you feel better doesn't mean you are better.

>If so, can doctors prescribe you sugar pills without telling you?

No because that's hilariously unethical.

Yes it is very powerful you can research that yourself. And no doctors can't legally give you a sugar pill. Doctors don't actually make the medication they get it from a supplier. So unless the doctor is ordering sugar pills (which looks shady) they are giving you exactly what they ordered from the supplier

The forefront is at Google Deepmind. They are in London.

I don't know if you'll get there though: they're hiring, but you basically need to be a genius to get in.

>>7646150
I don`t want to work with Google or Facebook.

>>7646150
IBM or Google. Watson, Deepmind and BostonDynamics all look promising.

>>7646074
Wouldn't it just be how you came up with it worked backward?

[eqn]3 \sum_{x=0}^y 3^x = \sum_{x=1}^{y+1} 3^x = \sum_{x=0}^y 3^x + 3^{y+1} -1[/eqn]
Therefore
[eqn] 2 \sum_{x = 0}^y 3^x = 3^{y+1}-1[/eqn]

>[math]y \in \mathbb{N}[/math]
>[math]y > 0[/math]

why...

what a pussy faggot you are

"ooooh I get anxiety looking at space because big and we small xd"

fuck off, you should have posted this in a cringe thread

>>7646047
Me too. It's just so creepy, a massive ball hanging in nothing. Uranus is creepiest. So featureless, just sitting there. "WHAT DO YOU WANT????"

"Uranus"

:S

Would be more spooky if the opposite was the case (human not able to see in space or no big objects in space)
givs me a safe feeling, cause one can see that everything is going well since billions of years and we can just do our shit like post on /sci/

Having good genes in terms of intelligence is certainly a good head start. You can't expect someone with below average intelligence to excel in and massively contribute to any scientific field. So being born with good genes is certainly a precursor for success. It is however not a guarantee for success. If you don't work hard or live in poor conditions you will still just be a burger flipper with good genes. So both nature and nurture play a role in this, not the one or the other, but both.

> why this isn't happening today?

This IS happening today, just look at all these people on 4chan, we now have so many gifted senpai s that with some time we may get close to solve the hardest questions

> You can't expect someone with below average intelligence to excel in and massively contribute to any scientific field.

This I agree with. As someone who has met people with moderate special needs before, I can safely say that someone with an IQ of 60 and has Downs syndrome isn't going to win a Nobel prize in the sciences, discover the cure for cancer, or solve a Millennium prize problem no matter how motivated they are.

But what about Ramanujan?

"Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar FRS (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician and autodidact who, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics, made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Ramanujan initially developed his own mathematical research in isolation; it was quickly recognized by Indian mathematicians. When his skills became apparent to the wider mathematical community, centred in Europe at the time, he began a famous partnership with the English mathematician G. H. Hardy. He rediscovered previously known theorems in addition to producing new theorems.

During his short life, Ramanujan independently compiled nearly 3900 results (mostly identities and equations).[1] Nearly all his claims have now been proven correct, although some were already known.[2] He stated results that were both original and highly unconventional, such as the Ramanujan prime and the Ramanujan theta function, and these have inspired a vast amount of further research.[3] The Ramanujan Journal, an international publication, was launched to publish work in all areas of mathematics influenced by his work.[4]"

We used to not have light at night. Electricity is a recent thing, you know. Our consiousness couldn't function after the sunt went dow, due to the lack stimulae.

Do you think it is possible to invest something that would allow a human to not ever need to sleep?

you could watch lecture videos i guess

>>7645827
any good sources? (besides the obvious like ted)

bonus points if psychology related because I'm studying computer engineering in the context of psychology

>>7645831

MIT, Yale, and Stanford have good channels with playlists of lectures. i don't know how many pertain to psychology but if you search a particular sub-field i'm sure a lecture video will show up

>free energy
not nearly efficient enough for that.
>warp drive
some space warp has been detected but very little.

It's just a better thruster in space that can run forever.

>>7646335
Doesn't reactionless thrust imply free energy?

>This rules out omnidirectional transmitters of approximately 100 times today’s total terrestrial energy usage in the case of the narrowband signals, and 10 million times that usage for broadband emissions.

Pardon me if I'm not convinced this is anything but the weakest constraint on the presence or absence of ayylmaos.

>>7645643
it isn't. If they were signaling anything on a channel, we would have caught a glimpse of it. But we didn't. Because it's not aliens. It's never aliens.

It's just a representation of an idea, stop reading into it too much.

its taking the concept of mass in the 4-dimension effecting the 3rd dimension, but taking it down a knotch so humans can understand

so mass in the third dimension warps the second dimension, just how mass in the fourth dimension warps our percieved third dimension

>>7645569
No it doesn't. It's saying that objects move in straight lines along the curved spacetime. The curve in spacetime is gravity, it is not caused by gravity.

Anything with numbers like this doesn't include friction. The weight is split in half. 50 going to the ceiling through the purple part of the pulley, and the other 50 going to the long part of the rope. All the pulley does is change the direction of the force. It changes the red 50 so that it pulls up on the weight

the top pulley is weight bearing hth

>>7645531
It can't be simplified any further.

9^(8x^2) bruh

9^(8x)^2

This is mathematics.
Clear means get your paper, get your pen, and after some writing, you'll see its true. Clear does not mean it should be immediately obvious to you just by looking at it.

That circled part is fucking basic algebra.
