Can someone explain to me why its 21?
I'm trying to fully understand what's going on, I thought this is like distributing 6 identical balls into 2 urns so 7!/6! Is what I thought was right.
what went wrong here ?
11 12 13 14 15 16 22 23 24 25 26 33 34 35 36 44 45 46 55 56 66 tital 21
[math]\frac{36-6}{2}+6[/math]
Can someone translate this into a stars and bars problem?
Is the P vs. NP problem solvable? It seems like philosophical, abstract bullshit to me.
>>8691249
maybe
but it would make a pretty big splash if somebody somehow proved that it was undecidable
We don't know.
I solved it years ago and am currently occupied trying to solve the P vs. BQP problem.
why is it that comp sci degree holders have better job prospects than math/physics majors despite CS aka applied autism being much easier? Is it because of the jews?
>>8690913
Because you can't build a pretty phone app with Galois Theory.
>>8690913
Real talk. Because math and physics admit mostly people who couldn't cut it for engineering and people who didn't even participate in the olympiad but thought they can study physics/math. Idiots with delusion of grandeur. There are obviously really smart math and physics majors. But they don't go to second-rate universities. And they have less problem finding a job in industry if they want to. The rest are society rejects who likes to pretend they are smart because they study physics.
>>8690913
Is it because of the jews?
Yes.
What's better to learn a skill, to practice 10 minutes every day or 50 minutes just once in a week.
>>8689686
I'm gonna say 10 minutes a day. Overall, you're putting in 70 minutes per week instead of only 50, with the added bonus of practicing every single day and not losing any skill due to forgetting shit over the days of inactivity.
50 minutes a day.
If that's not possible, I would go with 50 minutes a week because I believe that learning requires some time under appropriate levels of tension and that mere 10 minutes cannot provide you with it.
This is all said under the assumption that the learning techniques used aim at providing intuitive understanding of their subjects, so that their application becomes closer to second nature.
>>8689710
ok, let me put this way.
I just bough an harmonica and I can practice while waiting for the bus in my college, so I'll have around 40-50 minutes every day to practice, not 10, but the point is the same.
which is better, to practice a little everyday or a lot one day?
I want to become Spider-Man. Can anyone help me design a mechanism that shoots and stores webs and a way to stick to walls with my fingers and toes? Also spidey senses would be helpful.
>>8689672
No.
Would be much more realistic to become a firebender
>>8689672
Start by refining your sense. The best way to do this is to put on a blindfold and then run across busy roads, pretty soon you'll be flipping over trucks and dodging taxis like a pro.
Good luck!

China is hitting another milestone before anyone else in the supercomputer business.
What are they do with the overwhelming computing power?
Nothing, because that is what their country is: fucking nothing at all
>>8689213
Over 1 billion people doing noting
>>8689220
Pretty much, they have over a billion people living in their shithole of a country, but it's always the government doing all this shit.
What if I told you, that it would be possible to place all the rice grains in the world on a single chessboard?
>>8689203
go to bed grandpa
>>8689203
True. Numbers can make the world seem small.
Yeah, if the chessboard was fucking huge.
Alright all you lurking cog sci majors (psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, philosophy, AI), what are your thoughts on UG? Is it the single best explanation for language acquisition, or would a connectionist model be better? What is the state of research on connectionist models of language acquisition?
>>8689085
UG is more a prerequisite for explanation than an explanation itself. In other words, you have to presuppose UG for your explanation to make any sense. Once you learn some basic syntax it becomes very hard to entertain non-generative hypotheses.
Chomsky is a self-hating structuralist.
>>8689142
But you shouldn't equate generative grammar with UG, despite the fact that both are bound. Models which argue for the emergence of syntactic knowledge are often still generative, but reject the idea that grammatical competence is built-in.
Is he a good person, /sci/?
He's above average.
No, he is pure evil making money off of software that should be free as in freedom
No. He is literally trying to buy heaven with money, but this won't cancel what he has done to get where he is.
why do people study pure math or physics instead of engineering?
different strokes for different folks
They want to actually learn and contribute to science, instead of being a CAD/MATLAB monkey
>>8681332
Because I hate group projects and I hate lab practicals.
>there does not exist a bijection between the natural numbers and number of dicks you've sucked
Yea, I sucked a cantor set of dicks :^).
>>8690918
That either means you've sucked an uncountable infinity of dicks, or that you've sucked a finite number, possibly zero, of dicks.
Because bijection implies surjection and injection.
>>8690918
That's because the set of dicks I've sucked is empty.
>college course gives you a failing grade for the semester if you are skip too much
which daycare do you go to?
>>8690866
Don't all colleges do this to force students to show up so they can maintain tegrity...?
Regardless, its really stupid. Im a grown man, If I don't want to attend class I shouldn't be forced to by holding my grade ransom.
>>8690871
>Don't all colleges do this to force students to show up so they can maintain tegrity...?
no, i've skipped months of class before with 0 repercussions
which daycare do you go to?
Do you guys consider geology a STEM field? Or is it a meme. Regardless I love it and am excited to get my masters in it.
Fuck the haters, general geology thread
>>8690429
Amateur rock hound here with higher education in another field. I looked into it, did some basic self study, historical geology was interesting, got some rock identification field guides and what not but to pay a university good money to tell you how to remember an endless number of rocks and minerals, do some chemistry, print a fancy certificate with your name on it - you better have inside contacts and a related entry level job lined up in the real world. Maybe specialize in environmental earth sciences or something. Then again, maybe you are rich and don't care about real world things and are into it for a higher enlightenment and banging some university babes in their dorms? A geology major might do well in that field too.
>>8690438
OP here.
Yes, my degree is not in simply geology. Its kind of a dual geology/earth science program. My masters research area is going to be in sedimentology most likely. hopefully with a masters in that I can get a job in the O&G field after maybe 5 years of entry-level work
>>8690429
It seems like there is a disproportionately large amount of geology students on this board, at least compared to the amount of geology students in the two universities where I have studied.
How do I become smart? I'm average but how do I get smart.
>>8690298
Blunt trauma to the head can unlock a person's full intellectual potential.
>>8690298
jog 30 minutes every day
be in a major that requires you to think critically like physics
play a musical instrument
be social
eat a nutritious diet
------------------------
that's literally all you have to do
