No real "point" but just enjoy your life while you have it. Life may be full of suffering, but there is an infinite amount of pleasure to be obtained from it

>If that's the case, then what's the point?
The issue is precisely this: if it is the case then there IS no point.
But you can always choose to not believe.

I consider myself a recovering nihilist. But when I realized my grim outlook on life and its futility was negatively affecting my life I decided to cast it aside just as I had previously cast aside religion. There's no reason to shackle yourself into depression because of an idea. Don't like religion? Don't believe in god. Laugh at everyone who says you're a sinner who's going to hell. Don't like the nihilism that arises from a reductive materialist view of the universe? Spend as little time contemplating the finality of death as possible. Laugh at everyone who calls you a science denying idiot.

>>9041773
I can learn math only when I see an example. Am I a brainlet?

>>9041785
Look up similar exercises online, or find an online answer key if one is available.

>>9041703
Learn to proofread.

this can only be "true" in the sense of rough heuristics people use

One player, either white or black, has the ability to force either a win or draw. Nobody knows whether that player is white or black, because chess is too complicated.

As far as we know, black might have a strategy to always get a win/draw.

>>9041703
Perhaps, but in general initiative is far more valuable than information.
Even if I know what you're going to do, it doesn't help me; you're perpetually forcing my moves. You know what I'm going to do (and if I make an unexpected move it will probably be to my immediate disadvantage), so you'd be in complete control of the game.

I like to pretend I'm in an interview about an important discovery I've made in physics. Maybe I will slip in a casual pop culture reference to show I dont spend all my time doing physics.

Sometimes I also pretend that I'm giving a podcast to an aspiring physicist. And I might let slip my views on race and intelligent, just to see if I can get away with them.

sometimes after i have an awkward social interaction with someone at the grocery store or library or something when i am alone later i will think back about it and randomly shout curse words remembering how cringe i am

>type "ls" and "clear" in command line repeatedly dozen of times
what would motivate anyone to do this

Do you agree?
tldr CS research is mostly useless formalizations.

>>9041151

because, MY WAY, OR THE HIGHWAY.

>>9041160
?

And how exactly is this a problem?

>>9040767
who said it was

>>9040768
you heavily implied so with the tone of your writing. Otherwise the whole post would've been constructed in a different way

Nope

>>9040410
Fuck I hate group projects. 90% of the time I get paired with retards and I just end up telling them to not do anything and I willingly do the entire thing. I don't want those pricks pulling my grade down.

Science doesn't work

>>9040343
All of EE

>>9040343
Solving DEs is very important dude.

Also it gives some very important insights into Fourier series, which is also very important, even in your everyday life.

where does the open netted door lead to, the yard?

you need to push the hot air out

>>9039308

but isn't pushing air inefficient? especially against a net...

Trying to pull the hot air out of the room will never work, there will always be hot air that is thermodynamically and mechanically stable. In order to eliminate this hot air, you must face both the fans inward.

Nothing

But don't worry about it because testicular cancer is one of the least dangerous types Come back when you lost a family member to colorectal, stomach, or lung cancer

>>9038977
Your best bet would probably be to schedule a meeting with a urinologist, give him your dad's history, and ask him for advice.

You might also want to consider getting some sort of genetic test done, and see if you can identify any risks from that.

>>9038977
Your unique option is imigrate to bolivia ,because has a godd system to cure cancer.

They aren't "inferior", they are just naturally designed differently than males. Apples to oranges.

>>9038813
then why liberals promote egalitarianism?

I am,

time is o so precious.

I love R but I would suggest using python for ML to avoid lots of boilerplate

Oxygen + carbon is a gas.
Oxygen + silicon is a solid.
This is a big hurdle for silicon based life.

>>9038256
We are made of oxygen + carbon and are solids.

>>9038258
I don't feel very solid

The limit would be time itself

>>9038078
No idea.

As FTL travel means traveling backward in time I guess the limit would be the speed that instantaneously puts you at the beginning of the universe.

>>9038142
You don't really time travel, you just sort of time looky-loo. You could go fast enough to reach a point where you can, say, see the light of yourself at the point you left from, and go even farther and see the light from before you were even there, etc. You can see images of the past but there is no way to interact with them or alter them, and the light that comes from you at that distant point will still take a while to get back to any observer. Sure, you can beat it there, but you still haven't time traveled - another observer might see your light before you left and the you thats here now, but theres still only one you.

Tl;dr you'd never go back to the beginning of the universe. Though you might go far enough fast enough to go beyond the limits of the observable universe and it may appear like a causality issue. But it isnt.

>>9036272
I have no opinion about it.

If I had proof for or against it I would be already in my way for my 1 million right now.

P is definitely equal to NP
