just memorize, you don't need to understand it

this is why non-stem is low IQ.

just regurgitate all the bullshit that you were force fed in lecture. easy A.
Should we ban autistic child prodigies from building AI's?
Should we ban people who were edgy teens from learning how to make AI's?
>>8715320
We should ban you from ever breeding and polluting the gene pool.
>>8715320
too late I already made one

>>8715320
AI can be something as simple as a video game NPC. I assume you mean a general or learning AI, in which case, someone is going to make one, and there probably won't be more than one. That, or sooner or later one of them will destroy us all.
Explain.

I had a physics professor who was born in the Soviet Union in the early 50s. He was the best professor I ever had.

I've been looking into CFTs and link invariants a lot recently, since I've been working with another prof who's trying to use non-perturbative methods such as the AdS/CFT correspondence to study strongly-correlated systems of fermions in condensed matter.
The link invariants could be used to construct representations of quantum braid groups, which can be understood as correlation functions in some CFT. This may also shed some light regarding the unification of the braid group and principal bundle approaches to quantum particle statistics.

I read about all the cool stuff you guys do at your badass schools and I'm just here at my shitty university taking general ed brainlet courses. I get excellent grades but fuck I get depressed sometimes. It feels like I'm in daycare.
>>8714922
What do you study
>>8714927
planning on double major in comp-sci and math but just comp-sci cout<<"hello world; right now.

I'm in my third year of a physics w/theoretical physics degree at a pretty decent UK university. Our first lecture this year in a module on 'Advanced classical physics' was an hour on vectors and the dot product and cross product.
There were still people in the class who didn't understand this shit. Made me seriously question the quality of my degree and the uni.
Feel free to call me a tard but I'm stumped on this definite integration problem. I thought I could use u-substitution but it doesn't seem to go anywhere after defining u. Would someone mind explaining how to go about solving this?
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Double-AngleFormulas.html
Okay, step one is to take the constant out
so move the 64pi/25 out of the integral
64pi/25(integ)cos^2(x)dx
Step two: Use the double angle formula to get
cos^2(x)=(1+cos2x)/2
then take that constant out.
Now you have
32pi/25(integ)1+cos2xdx
Step 3 integrate and plug in definite values
(sum of the integrals is integrals of the sum)
(32pi/25)(x+1/2sin(2x)) + C
plug in the bounds^^
Does this make any sense?

the diagram is misnomered, the field horizons should be labeled 10 11 12, and instead are 11 12 13, a freudian slip i'm sure, as for te proposal itself, i couldn't even tell you how to measure any of that practically, how does one even generate such a singualrity?
>>8714568
You make a normal singularity spin really fast
hey /sci/, /ck/ here
i tried asking over there but they don't really know anything so i'll try here
i was given a couple iron pots and pans that need seasoning
i have a bottle of old rancid flax oil in the fridge from last time i seasoned a pan
can i use the rancid oil? or will it leave a bad aroma?
i feel like if it polymerizes properly it won't matter but i don't actually know anything
thanks!
gentle self bump for science
>>8714520
My thought is that any unsaturated fat you subject to high temperatures in the presence of oxygen will undergo oxidation and cause rancid off flavors and aromas. However, I googled seasoning and they recommend using unsaturated fats/oils, which during the seasoning process, will undergo severe oxidation anyway. I dont know wtf they mean by polymerize- theyre probably referring to the fats forming a sooty, carbon film on the skillet that somehow protects it.
Anyway, I guess if you use rancid oil with off flavors and off odours, there is a possibility it might get stuck in the pores of the skillet and you will probably detect them later on because,these are,often detected by a human nose at even the tiniest concentrations. Just use canola oil or something man.
Also, how do you know,you flaxseed oil is rancid. Off flavor and odors? Commercially, they add Vitamin E and other antioxidants to oils to retard the oxidation process. I think bottles are designed to now to also inhibit light
>>8714520
/ck/ here
use Crisco my dude. Flax seed is not nearly as good imo, it always turned blotchy and I had to reseason. Used Crisco once and cooking on it is a dream
I've done some reading and it seems that while we have a solution to the 2D wave equation bounded by a rectangle, I can't find any information regarding closed solutions on different domains.
Do we have closed solutions for different geometries? Circles? Triangles? Something more exotic? I ask so that I can do propagation simulation without having to incur the numerical error that a time-domain finite difference method would yield.
Thanks you for any help.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_equation
Surely someone here has experience with this class of problem?
>>8714528
Peepee poopoo
>>8714321
IIRC we have them for circles, using Bessel functions. I'm not too sure about triangles. I doubt it, but you're better off looking for solutions through Google.
Thoughts on this guy, he could destroy any of you in a debate.

Does everyone have an above average iq?
>>8714194
That's logically impossible.
No.
But half of the population have above average intelligence.
>>8714194
everyone on 4chan has an IQ just high enough to say they're really smart so they can stroke their ego and play pretend, but just low enough to be able to give an excuse when they inevitably say something retarded.
I'm considering doing a fully funded Ph.D at a non-name college in a non-name country.
Is this a bad idea? Ph.D will probably be something involving mathematical modelling as that's the field I'm most proficient in. It's fairly applied stuff so hopefully it won't ruin my employment prospects afterwards.
With regards to smarts. I don't know, I'm top 15% of my Masters class at a university that isn't a complete disaster.
DESU, I envision a Ph.D at a lesser ranked institution to be easier and more secure and I might even get employed there afterwards.

why is everyone cocked up about the place 40light years away when this place is just 4 light years away?
why haven't we really gone anyway in outer space other then the (((moon)))?

We don't live in a sci-fi
>>8713972
>why is everyone cocked up about the place 40light years away when this place is just 4 light years away?
Because they forgot about it. Most people are like goldfish, in that they're retarded.
>why haven't we really gone anyway in outer space other then the (((moon)))?
Because it's expensive and the Soviet Union collapsed. Once we have really delved into developing reusable booster technology and have reduced the cost of space flight we will probably see increased interest in space travel as well as space development.
