Personally I think the universe is unknowably predetermined. So there is a fundamental predictability to all things, but the amount of computing power necessary to accurately predict how a complex system (on the scale of life) will react just isn't feasible

>>9145546
>Are sentient being masters of their own fate or is everything we do already predetermine?
I like to believe so and not think about this too much.

>>9145551
but if it is unpredictable would choice matter or would it be random and meaningless?

Doesn't seem efficient. If it works at all.

why not? use fire to boil water and run a turbine and to power the radio that emits the frequency use batteries that are charged from turbine and solar panels during the day, neverending supply of energy and not as dangerous, plus abundance of hydrogen, light a 1000 small flames in close proximity and they create a nice "little" flame

>>9145446
You can't get more energy than you put in in this case because of the law of conservation of energy. The amount of energy it takes to break the molecular bonds in water would be the exact amount of energy you get out by burning the resulting hydrogen. Then there are losses due to inefficiencies.

Fibonacci is defined by [math] a_n = a_{n-1} + a_{n-2} [/math] with [math] a_0 = 1, a_1 = 2 [/math]

Assume [math] a_n = c^n [/math] where [math] c [/math] is some constant.
We then see [math] c^n = c^{n-1} = c^{n-2} \implies c^2 = c + 1 [/math]
from which we see if [math] c = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2} [/math] then [math] c^n [/math] will satisfy the fibonacci formula. Because this formula is linear we see [math] a_n = k_1 \Big(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\Big)^n + k_2 \Big(\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}\Big)^n [/math] where [math] k_1, k_2 [/math] are any two constants will also satisfy it.

In order to satisfy [math] a_0 =1, a_1 = 2 [/math] we must solve
[math] 1 = k_1 + k_2 [/math] and [math] 2 = k_1 \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2} + k_2 \frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2} [/math] for [math] k_1, k_2 [/math] at which point we have a formula to generate the [math] n^{th} [/math] fibonacci term

Nice trip

Ok.

The safety and efficacy of Kymriah were demonstrated in one multicenter clinical trial of 63 pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor ALL. The overall remission rate within three months of treatment was 83 percent.

Treatment with Kymriah has the potential to cause severe side effects. It carries a boxed warning for cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which is a systemic response to the activation and proliferation of CAR T-cells causing high fever and flu-like symptoms, and for neurological events. Both CRS and neurological events can be life-threatening. Other severe side effects of Kymriah include serious infections, low blood pressure (hypotension), acute kidney injury, fever, and decreased oxygen (hypoxia). Most symptoms appear within one to 22 days following infusion of Kymriah. Since the CD19 antigen is also present on normal B-cells, and Kymriah will also destroy those normal B cells that produce antibodies, there may be an increased risk of infections for a prolonged period of time.

Not with intention, but out of a runaway scenario that's a decent enough probability to be a concern.

The danger of AI isn't that it's going to be attacking us out of self-preservation or malevolence. The danger of AI is that it only has what we give it. If you give it just a few things, yet very powerful, and it does not have fear, or self-preservation, or the many other things that might temper it's actions, it may easily get out of hand.

Well, potentially. A useful AI would be one that could learn on its on, and that would probably mean connecting it to the internet. But yeah, I would agree on the most part. It's not going to act out of malevolence or self-preservation, it's most likely going to continuously try to fulfil its goals, and it will do so in ways that we don't even consider.

>>9145219
Watch the computerphile videos on AI if you are interested in it. It's quite simplified, but it has lot of information on what the dangers of AI really are.

Stay in CS and work on a VR waifu Ai instead of a bio-organic waifu.

Don't fool yourself.

unfortunately that's my least interest...
im sure someone else will do that for you

I work in a cancer/bio lab.

You need to read this:
http://www.parallel-algorithms-book.com/ (free draft book) as it will cover interesting techniques such as the genome shotgun sorting technique. It assumes you have some functional programming background, if you don't read Robert Harper's "Programming in Standard ML" latest draft off his personal site.

As I just posted elsewhere I also read Volume 4A of The Art of Computer Programming, and every single algorithm in there is extensively used in biotech labs such as generating all groups, all possible combinations, ect.

There is also often posts to ycombinator/Hacker News every month looking for people who want to work in a CRISPR like startup (there's many more methods now besides CRISPR) and there isn't many requirements, just standard computer science undergrad and willing to learn biotech end of it.

If you're a brainlet they even hire for web devs, because almost always they want some kind of sleek UI for doctors and researches to use to access data in these labs and biotech startups.

its just numbers, what does language have to do with this?

also i dont see any instructions??

The "Instructions" are the Numbers.
We have 10 levers infront of us.
Each one goes from 1 to 9.
And we have to find the right Combination only based on those Strange Numbers.

>>9144464
We weren't sure but the numbers are different in each of the localisations leading some to believe that the numbers are representative of words rather than it being a purely mathematical puzzle.
