s anyone else productive in the summer but can't seem to get much done in uni? I'm not sure why but it feels like when I have lots of different subjects to take I just can't decide what to do so I end up doing nothing. I can only seem to focus on one thing at a time I guess I'm retarded or something
i just scream "free day!" and play dota for 16 hours instead of studying for quals. sweet sweet mmr

How can you not remember these things after doing them 100 times? I'll never understand normies. I hope they don't fix their grades tbph, unis need to know they are subhumans so they can be excluded and we don't waste our nation's resources on them.
Well, if they were told the formula would be included and it wasn't, it is a reasonable complaint to make, no?

Is consciousness truly the most incomprehensible, difficult problem to solve, or is it just yet another problem that will be solved in due time?
None of "us" reading this can even prove any other sentient beings exist. What if "we" are the only one and solipsism is real? We can't even bridge that gap, how can we bridge the gap of explaining consciousness?
Is it the most amazing fucking WEIRD, mind-blowingly insane thing ever, or just not too big of a deal and we will solve it? I oscillate back and forth between thinking both.
It's 2nd place at best.
The hardest is why anything exists at all.
>>8980425
We can't even organize ourselves well enough to get off this planet.
Do you honestly think in a million years we'll have the slightest clue why people experience consciousness?
We have a large portion of the population of earth starving, and completely destitute.
Politics is built around pleasing everybody in a country, and poorer nations are left out of this because of greed.
It's still common practice to hold onto primitive religious beliefs.
Particularly ones that cause war, and hold back research.
We are monkeys that still only live to succeed in mating, and gathering resources for ourselves to take care of our children.
If a natural disaster happened in space I really doubt a group of countries would organize themselves well enough to combat it.
We may not even have the tools because of our stupidity.
>>8980437
The 2 questions might be somewhat related, at the end of the day it might just be that nothingness simply breeds existence and our own perception might just be fundamentally wrong, similar to how we experience time as separate from spacetime.
>>8980425
I can imagine that in a few decades we'll have a way better understanding of the human brain, motivated by trying to connect the human brain to devices or the quest for better and better AI. This will in turn get us to start exploring different states of conciseness in scientific ways and maybe produce a scientific theory of our conciseness.

Nanobots replacing brain cell one after another. Bots also have external interface, giving out the current state or allowing to change the state from external source. What if you succesfully replace all 10bn of neurons with this kind of nanobot (or even about 10% but evenly distributed across the brain and somehow connected).
Now with all the extracted information about state of every bot in given moment you rebuild that structure in lab (providing friendly environment, similar to what you have inside your neurocranium), you can alter the state of every nanobot.
Could it be example of working, programmable strong AI? Maybe even conscious?
>>8980327
You are forgetting one important thing, which is going to fuck all neural network fags in the ass.
Brain is not rigid and its structure changes on per second basis.
>nanobots
>>8980339
Why shouldn't nanobots be able to artificially rewire their synapses and reorganize its structure? It has been proposed at the beginning of oldschool nn development.
- You cannot turn a black hole back into a main sequence star, by adding more fuel, it will just turn into a more massive black hole
- There is a limit on how massive can black holes get
What happens when they overstuff themselves?
you are welcome to joke about it, but I would like to also get a legit answer.
I was only able to find out that there is a mass limit, not what happens after it's reached.

Another Yellowstone earthquake swarm.
Can't wait to see americucks getting wiped off earth
On 20 July 1981, 24-year-old David Allen Kirwan from La Cañada, California, was driving through Yellowstone’s Fountain Paint Pot thermal area with his friend Ronald Ratliff and Ratliff’s dog Moosie. At about 1:00 P.M. they parked their truck to get out and take a closer look at the hot springs; Moosie escaped from the truck, ran towards nearby Celestine Pool (a thermal spring whose water temperature has been measured at over 200°), jumped in, and began yelping.
Kirwan and Ratliff rushed over to the pool to aid the terrified dog, and Kirwan’s attitude indicated he was about to go into the spring after it. According to bystanders, several people tried to warn Kirwan off by yelling at him not to jump in, but he shouted “Like hell I won’t!” back at them, took two steps into the pool, and then dove head-first into the boiling spring.
Kirwan swam out to the dog and attempted to take it to shore; he then disappeared underwater, let go of the dog, and tried to climb out of the pool. Ratliff helped pull Kirwan out of the hot spring (resulting in second-degree burns to his own feet), and another visitor led Kirwan to the sidewalk as he reportedly muttered, “That was stupid. How bad am I? That was a stupid thing I did.”
Kirwan was indeed in very bad shape. He was blind, and when another park visitor tried to remove one of his shoes, his skin (which was already peeling everywhere) came off with it. He sustained third-degree burns to 100% of his body, including his head, and died the following morning at a Salt Lake City hospital. (Moosie did not survive, either.)

I dont think you know how volcanic winters work.
Dilworth's Theorem states that in any finite partially ordered set, the size of the maximal antichain is the size of the minimal partition of the nodes in linear orders, see pic related.
Is there a similar result for the partition of the edges?

What does this feyman diagram mean?
you are really humorous
Can anyone solve this?
Firstly, how would I find the points of A and B? The length of side C?
Secondly, how would I know if 'user location' is within the red area?
It has to be right angles.
>>8980079
Sorry, should clarify that all angles are right angles. It's the coordinates of A and B im looking for - not angles.
>>8980086
Then use trig...
Hello /sci/, I wasn't too sure if I should have posted this on /g/ or not
I'm a pure math and comp. sci major, and other than cybersecurity, Neuroscience is one of my major interest, and I want to pursue my life to neuroscience research, with applied math/CS. Where should I start my research? Where should I look into to get started?
What are the prerequisites / preliminary concepts that must be understood in order to construct operational amplifier circuits?
I feel stuck. What is the complication to just explaining how they work?
>>8979929
Op amps are usually covered at the end of Circuits 1. Physics 2 and Calculus 2 are prerequisites but you could make do with Physics 1 as they review the necessary EM at the beginning of Circuits.
>What is the complication to just explaining how they work?
Ideally the inputs are virtual short circuited (their voltage difference is 0) and virtual open (their input current is 0). Also they saturate if you hit the V+ or V- rails. There, you know everything you need to to make/analyze circuits with op amps.
>>8979947
Yes, thanks.
My problem is I have not had circuits, yet need to understand unideal configurations.
I don't mind reading up, I just don't know where to start.

Check some of the circuit books here, read what they have to say about OP amps.
I understand your pain, it gets tricky seeing them, let alone trying to solve them.
