What the fuck is this bullshit. These are the models for population growth using scramble and contest competition. P is population, r is growth rate, K is carrying capacity of an environment. Scramble competition assumes random allocation of food and grows to carrying capacity (K) and then levels out. No problem.
The second one is the model for contest competition. Fuck you Beverton-Holt, because that CLEARLY converges to r/2, not K. In what fucking universe does that work?

Growth rate = 1.5, carrying capacity=1000. Converges on 500. Im so fucking butthurt.

Good training wheels. Sometimes gives good entry-level insight, but won't give you mastery. Khan is a purple pilled conspiracy theorist.

Great way to start learning something but god bless you if you think you can achieve mastery using that thing.

I've heard people argue it's .5 heritable and that its a balance of both, but I've also seen people claim its at around a .7-.8 heritability. Sorry for the shit thread information wise, i don't know much about it but I'm wondering what /sci/'s take is on it

Define intelligence
>>
>>8965484
IQ I guess? I've heard IQ tests are the best way we have now to determine someone's "intelligence." Google says
>the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
Again, I apologize for being a brainlet
>>
>>8965488
here's an interesting research about IQ being a accurate measure of intelligence

>Something odd happened a few days ago, high above our heads. In an earlier blogpost, I discussed in detail how the odd spy satellite USA 276 (2017-022A) was set to make a peculiarly close approach to the International Space Station ISS on 3 June 2017. The spy satellite was recently launched for the NRO as NROL-76 by SpaceX, on 1 May 2017.

Maybe so they could spy on the Ruskies with it. That's why ISS has such a high inclination, because Baikonur. Or maybe China.

>>8965552
this doesnt explain the close proximity to ISS.

Bullshit. No way anything is flying that close to the ISS
Does anyone remember the prophecy of the wise man of the trees?
Serious question, this is about muh singularity.

Too late. We already went in the fifth dimension. The earth is now a sphere (except we are on the inside).

If developing Artificial General Intelligence and likely Artificial Super Intelligence soon after, how would one contain it without risking the outside world?

In the future, would it be possible to genetically engineer a human to be a vampire? Like:
>doesn't age
>can stay alive for centuries
>super-human strength
>needs to drink blood to function
>exposure to sunlight is lethal
>is allergic to garlic
>can't be seen in mirrors or other reflective surfaces such as water
>can communicate with wolves
Asking for a friend.

Any Idea if we have any possible upcoming natural disasters that are capable of killing a couple thousand? like mt saint helens chance of it erupting or another 2004 or 2011 tsunami?
I know it sounds fucked but I could really go for some good natural disaster footage right about now.

Yellowstone.
>>
>>8965317
Odds are we'll all be long dead before Yellowstone ever erupts again, if it ever does. (Some eruption will be the last, it might be the most recent one.)
Better bet for OPs question is to watch cities like Naples, or Portland, that sit next to volcanoes with a history of pyroclastic flows and explosions and shit. Not all of them will erupt any time soon, some of them may never erupt again -- but there are enough of them around that one might go before you, me and OP run out of time.

Remember that during the Middle Ages the technology regressed then stagnated for a long period of time until Renascence.
During the Latter Middle Age the Black Death Pandemic killed one third of Europe Population.
The technology not always advance over time.
Our technological society can also collapse if a Nuclear War destroy us.
