The idea of the universe as a recursive computer is interesting. I did find some ideas valuable. I just wish Langan would simplify his arguments to make reading them easier.

Turning off everything in a room and bringing everything you need into your work space.
Here's the ritual:
1. Use the restroom
2. Get paper, pen, books I may need for reference
3. Glass of water
4. If I need a laptop run only one or two tabs in the browser as to not get distracted.
5. No music. People are shitty at multitasking, think music is going to help?
>>
>>8878031
Not op, but some days l'm completely dependent on music. I'll just stare at code for hours but not type anything, and if I have music I'll start back up again. The catch is that it's harder to think with music, I'll literally pause the music to think about what I need to do then resume and start typing again. Ever happen to you guys?

The understanding was lost when Atlantis went underwater. They used relativity for weaponry in the Finno-Korean hyperwar back in the days. We had it all, but we just had to fight eachother, and now our civilization is nothing but a small fragment of what once was.

I breezed through high school and got a 3.8 without much studying. Why the fuck is the trend opposite now in college? Am I fucked? Did the intelligence buff wear off when I enter college? How the fuck does one even "study"?

A friend works with people like you, who do really well in high school, this gets them into an ivy league school, and then suddenly they can't keep up and become suicidal. There are many people out there like you. Just hang in there and know that your intelligence isn't the only measure of your worth as a person.

Stop being a slacker. You were smart enough to get through highschool without much effort, but now you need to actually work hard. Simple. Your hardworking peers just have a better work ethic than you.

Well, /sci/? Does it converge or diverge?

(not a homework problem, a random practice problem)
77 posts and 2 images submitted.

>>8877277
It's divergent, sqrt(k)<k if k is greater than one.
>>
>>8877297
Doesn't the Comparison test only work if the series being compared is always [larger or smaller] than the series in question? For this one, it is not always smaller than k, only when k>=1.
>>
it is convergent since
[eqn]\lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{k}+2} = 0[/eqn]

Can someone please explain to me why so many people found the idea of Roko's Basilisk frightening?

For the confused:
>Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment about the potential risks involved in developing artificial intelligence. The premise is that an all-powerful artificial intelligence from the future could retroactively punish those who did not help bring about its existence, including those who merely knew about the possible development of such a being.
>http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Roko%27s_basilisk

How could punishing simulated brains have any effect on the development of the AI, especially since this requires that the AI was successfully created. I don't see how the AI could benefit from punishing non-contributors, since it's just simulated and can't actually motivate a person in the distant past to behave in a way that accelerates the creation of that AI.

Are people just concerned that they ARE the simulated mind being studied/subsequently punished? Or is there something here I'm just not smart enough to see?

>Or is there something here I'm just not smart enough to see?
I think it's the exact opposite
>>
>>8876781
Just send everyone forward in time, to a point past at which it was supposed to be created by them and then live there.
Because you didn't make it past and will now longer make it.
The date at which it would've been made, ready to punish you for not attempting to make it.
Would have passed, meaning it no longer exists as a concept in that future timeline, saving you all.
