Hi Anon

Read through this entire book: http://eloquentjavascript.net/

Then move onto a framework like Express and learn stuff like Node.js

Then use that to publish a website

Then you got a job

I learned by coming up with random project ideas and trying to create them from scratch (no libraries, jQuery etc)

Some of the things I made with javascript onely (to give you some ideas):
Basic ascii based poker game
Assembly style scripting compiler
2d top down tile based world generation and exploration using img tag
Basic mathematical manipulatioj from strings (e.d differentiating 3x^2 inputted as a string)
Cant remember all of them but nothing teaches you like continuous failing

The Pope and Algore said climate change was real. What more proof do you need /pol/tard ?

>there are many climatologists, some very prestigious ones, who are clearly stating we're unable to determine how big of an impact humans have on the climate

I'm not an expert in climate science, but this sounds like a very weak criticism. How certain are they about the sign of the impact? Probably much more certain than they are about the magnitude.

Let's suppose that there's just so much uncertainty in climate models that there's only a 5% probability (in a Bayesian sense) that future climate change will severely endanger human welfare -- which, you will note, is a weaker claim than saying that said climate change is *also anthropogenic*.

If climate change weren't a problem at all, and you could press a red button that had a 1/20 chance of causing worldwide catastrophe and a 19/20 chance of causing slightly slower economic growth on account of unnecessary environmental regulations counterbalanced by the pleasure of living in an unpolluted world, would you press that button?

To be more direct, even if it's untrue that there's a consensus about catastrophic global warming in the future, the tail risk seems high enough (and the short-term downsides of paying attention to climate change seem low enough) that it seems transparently obvious that we should impose sensible environmental regulations and call it a day.

Like, okay, maybe there's only a 5% chance climate change is a problem. Maybe it's 3%, maybe 1%, maybe even lower. Are you willing to bet on it being low enough for us to comfortably ignore?

And exactly what's _bad_ about investing into renewable energy, fining pollution, and just replacing old forms of energy production with newer ones (especially nuclear plants)? I honestly find myself sort of baffled here. At worst it slows down the economy marginally, but we get to enjoy a better power grid and a cleaner world, which... seems like the sort of thing that sustains long-term economic growth anyway.

That's a great fucking idea. This might also work for tenga eggs, you could warm those up really well if the thermal properties have been improved.

Duuuudeee. Imagine Bose state diamonds. It would be like enough to stop the universe all together.

>>8711359
> but wouldn't a frozen diamond be even harder?

it hurts, please make it stop

But just in case you're being genuine, diamonds are already solid thus they have been "frozen". You're suggesting turning a solid into a solid, nothing is gonna change.

also diamonds are not the hardest known substance or material.

>This meant that the sensation that had been created artificial was not only perceived, but also that it was integrated as a feedback of the prosthetic movement successfully. The brain machine interface functions bi-directionally in this manner. The Geneva researchers are of the opinion that the reason why this fictitious sensation is so rapidly assimilated, is that it most likely taps into very basic brain functions. Feeling the position of our limbs happens automatically without much thought being required. This probably indicates that fundamental neural circuit mechanisms are being used.

>This type of bidirectional interface might enable the development of robotic arms that are able to displace more precisely in the future. These would be able to feel touched objects, or perceive the required force to grasp them. The neuroscientists at UNIGE are also investigating how to produce sensory feedback that is more efficient. At the moment, they are only capable of doing so for a single movement, but are exploring the possibility to provide multiple feedback channels in parallel. This research lays the groundwork for developing a new generation of bidirectional neural prostheses that will be more precise

>If modern imaging tools were to be used, hundreds of neurons in the surrounding area could be observed as the mouse learned the neuroprosthetic task. Huber notes that it is known that millions of neural connections exist. The study did however reveal that the animal activated only the one neuron chosen for controlling the prosthetic action and none of the neighboring neurons. He finds this interesting as it reveals that the brain can home in on and specifically control the activity of just one single neuron. This knowledge could potentially be exploited to develop not only more stable and precise decoding techniques, but also to gain a better understanding of most basic neural circuit functions. What mechanisms are involved in routing signals to the uniquely activated neuron has yet to be discovered.

Just post the paper itself and keep the popsci links to yourself.

That is enough.

sounds fine, certainly |A| <= |B| along with |B|<= |C| and |A|=|C| gives |A|=|B| since |A| <= |B| <= |C| =|A| implies it right away

>>8710985
All you need is an injection B->A, your stuff would show it exists.

Example: 2Z and 4Z, 4Z is a subset of 2Z, and 4Z has the same cardinality as Z. Since 2Z is a subset of Z, you have card(4Z)<=card(2Z)<=card(Z)=card(4Z)

Low temperature superconductors:
Electron-Electron pairs known as cooper pairs follow boson rules, which means they can all pile into the conduction band and move at basically the same speed without hitting eachother.

High temperature superconductors:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ who knows

>>8710849
I don't wanna talk to a scientist

>>8710855
>which means they can all pile into the conduction band and move at basically the same speed
I'm no physicist, will the cooper pairs not collide with nuclei, slowing them down? Or is there something special about bosons I'm missing

No, it just has to be what you really want to do. If you do well in grad school you then have to be willing to work 60 hour work weeks for 40k a year.

It's a practical possibility, but it won't solve practical problems in general.

>>8710338
Adding to my own post, I mean it will not improve over a regular computer for general computing, but it can augment a general computer for its ability to solve a class of problems very quickly.

>>8710339
>it can augment a general computer for its ability to solve a class of problems very quickly
Could you expand on this?
I know how processors work, but I'm not a physicist and my understanding of quantum computing is pretty vague.

The answer to "is this too good to be true?" is always yes.

You can't factorise it because it is in its simplest form already

I don't know. His qualifications as a biochemist kind of lend him some credibility but I often find that during his lectures he will only weakly tie his ideas together. Very interesting ideas but not entirely sensical, at least the ones that I've heard.

>>8709995
He's at 500 years ahead of time. No wonder no one understands him. Sure some of his theories are wacko. But his main point is that we're all kids. We have no idea what we are or where we are. The fact that we keep pretending that we know anything is ridiculous.

Basically the amount of work you would need to do to get to this point would exceed the effort you would expend getting a 'normal' science job (which is still very hard.)

I'm an optimist by nature, but you're describing is a pipe dream.

i've done labour work before going to university. i just don't want to experience the hardships that gave me forever. i know it shaped me into a better person that knows how to handle a task and boss, but i want to go up a ladder. just not a corporate one where workload increases. i want to push my intellectual limits without anything to abate me.
