>This statement is false

>>8909408
Find a statement that isn't recursive and is both true and false at the same time.

You can travel through time.

The universe does not have an origin because the universe came into existence from another version of the universe. Something can come out of nothing if what we refer to as nothing is the universe in another form.

There are kits on Amazon with a pre-loaded OS. You could create a home server, plug in a storage volume, store all your porn on it. Play doom. Maybe wrap it in duct tape and massage your prostate with it. The limits are endless bro

But srsly they're just a computer that won't be as good as your main computer. Cheap enough to mess around with, but the usefulness is quite redundant.

you don't need to know how to program
just read https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/ssh/ first and prepare the sdcard correctly if you want to use it headless

you can use it as a really shitty always-on homeserver

The wave function's absolute squared distribution is non-uniform, yes.

>>8909005
Yes, the effect happens just the same.

Although it's worth pointing out that the probability interpretation is "just that" - an interpretation (maybe the only good interpretation we have).

What's different is that the quantum systems can be more complicated. I.e. some events that would describe joint events simply can't occur. That is, events for which the analog in classical mechanics would be uncorrelated, and so you don't naively expect the complicated behaviors..

>>8909005
why don't you fucking go and read a book on it if you want to know instead of asking retarded questions about things you don't actually care about?

>>8908970
Because it's easier to muse about hard work being done than to actually do it.

>The difference between 1950 and 2020 is minuscule compared to the difference between 1880 and 1950.

I'm curious why you say that, and what metric you are using for technological progression.

The world's population in 1880 was 900 million. In 1950, the population was 2.55 Billion. The difference is 1.65 billion people. (183% increase)

Now, the population in 2020 will be 7.56 Billion. That is a difference of 5 billion. (196% increase). We are able to hold 7 billion people solely because of advancements in technology.

Arguing that technology is "slowing down" is just nuts. All measures of reality show we are rapidly accelerating.

>The difference between 1950 and 2020 is minuscule compared to the difference between 1880 and 1950.

What metric are you using to compare these two time spans?

That isn't how evolution works
As you won't die from not being able to remember all faces you reproduce and have kids with the same gentics.

The same applies in reverse you don't mate more because you can recognise faces.

Also unless this ability is common in your family it is just a mutation anyways

>>8908877
>Does it improve chances of reproduction?
If yes - evolutionary pressure.
If no - no evolutionary pressure.

Tell me, has the ability to remember faces got you laid ever?

>>8908885
Actually now that you've put it like that, probably works as a good party trick

facial recognition = bitches?

>Doing a math/physics degree
>Picked up programming as a hobby
>There were mandatory statistics classes

I guess I'll be fine, then.

why would you expect a pure math degree to give you 'deep industry' knowledge in the first place? it prepares you for researching pure math, that's why it has that name

>>8908886
Also anyone capable of graduating in pure math is capable of picking up any skill relevant to "industry" on a whim. CS fags are just mad that someone who didn't spend few years on subpar degree is better at their work

>>8908798
Because, Anon, mathematical models tend to be at least a little bit accurate.

>>8908800
So there is not magnetic field in space between lines? Im scared

>>8908798
>They told us that lines of field are just imaginary

They lied to you, fields are absolutely real and physical.

You have no feedback without Internet.
You can pull it off only if you're already a math wizard.

A virus is not considered alive because it can't replicate itself. It's similar to life, but not quite. It's really a matter of definitions - not like a virus changes its properties depending on whether you define it is a living thing or not.

complimentary knowledge

>>8908631
You know how you can apply the same skillset you use to wipe your ass for cleaning all kinds of confined spaces? Your brain comes with the ability to notice and match patterns, and quickly realizes that some narrow gap between floorboards is not that dissimilar to an ass crack. Which lets it carry over a lot of the connections for this new task.

Geniuses are the same, just a lot better, and can do this pattern-matching and extension to problems involving a lot more variables and requiring much more working memory.

>>8908631
you know they spend most of their life just thinking about things. And when you think, you basically think most about problem solving and logic, and when you get better at it. Things that are have anything to do with problem solving and logic just click it just clicks.

Religion should be dead last

How is it possible that some majors have IQ 2 standard deviations above average? It is statistically impossible unless you are somehow specifically selecting people with higher IQ to study certain subjects.

>>8908587
the iq in these studies/charts is just an estimation based on SAT scores

CompSci isn't particularly hard on math.

Calc 1, Linear Algebra, Discrete math. That's about it.
Make sure your foundations are strong, perhaps go through a precalc book first. College level math is gonna be impossible if you struggle with basic algebraic manipulations of expressions


Other than that I think it would be better to read "Algorithms" and "The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" aka "CLRS" and "SICP",
