>*book title* ... for Engineers
Who's also sick and tired of this brainlet bullshit?
Which book did you pick up?
I have a bookshelf full of books in engineering that doesn't say "for engineers."
I can't imagine a title like "Introductory solid mechanics for engineers"
Or steel design.... for engineers
Is this like a "for dummies" version for contractor posers and high schoolers?
>Chemical Engineering fundamentals for Engineers
Wow.

Here's some shit that plagues all of research and academia:
>"HURR and DURR and I'm a witty fuck"
>colon
>"the actual subject of this article"
As fun as these authors think they are, article titles that don't explicitly state the topic discussed make lit review a shitty experience.

>Our results challenge the classical view of learning by showing that many successful neural networks easily have the effective capacity for sheer memorization. This leads us to believe that these models may very well make use of massive memorization when tackling the problems they are trained to solve. It is likely that learning in the traditional sense still occurs in part, but it appears to be deeply intertwined with massive memorization. Classical approaches are therefore poorly suited for reasoning about why these models generalize well.
>groundbreaking work
>the only 10/10 paper at one of most prestigious conferences in AI
Deep Learning is just glorified memoization. The most relevant field in CompSci has just been proved to be a hoax.

DMSO is know for penetrating the skin barrier and bringing various compounds with it into the blood (somewhat disputed)

That's an example.

I think this is how to science.
I like that spotted salamander

I can't argue with that.
In Quantum Physics, if mere human observation can influence the interactions of subatomic particles, will observation of a trained chimpanzee do the same thing?
At what point in the animal kingdom do species no longer influence the mechanisms of Quantum Physics through mere observation?
what is it about QM that attracts so many laymen?
>>8656793

When they no longer have functioning eyes and cannot built something that can visually measure.
What would happen if we killed all the ants. Like what do they provide to the earth that other animals don't/couldn't?

I refuse to believe that they contribute anything other than being tiny bitey assholes

They're a great source of protein.

I think society could function without any aerobic bugs (including elephant-sized bugs). Best if the earth was covered in grass without any beasts shitting all over the place and then sniffing it--with their great sense of smell. They smell ammonia (piss) too; just as 70% of autistic people would do, without moving away and without a change in breathing that would show any aversion or awareness of it.
There are many streets in cities that, after days without rain, are rank with the toxic odor of dog piss and yet most people never notice. They can't even smell decomposing fecal matter thrown in garbage cans in summer heat. The masses are autistic.
AANTI
Hey all,
Any good resources for simplifying complex numbers? I'm having trouble with something as simple as: ln(1-i)
I don't understand how it could possibly be simplified outside of some sort of expansion. But I'm not good at expansions since I don't really have an understanding for them.
Wondering if you guys could provide me with some good learning tools for this.
just use the definition of complex ln
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_logarithm#Definition_of_principal_value
ln(1-i)=ln(|1-i|)+iArg(1-i)=ln(sqrt(2))+i(-pi/4)=ln(2)/2-(pi/4)i
>>8656714
ln is not a function over the complex numbers, just as arctan is not a function over the reals. you're going to have to restrict it to a "branch":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_logarithm
anyways...
z = ln(1 - i)
e^z = 1 - i
note z = x + iy for x,y real
e^x * e^iy = 1 - i
x = ln(sqrt(2))
y = 7pi/4
>>8656714
What do any of you actually do "of consequence" with all this irrational math? Not including teaching it to a bunch of new kids who, in all likelihood, will also never do anything of consequence with it.

Obama's FDA made a last minute regulation aimed at stopping all transhumanism momentum in animal breeding. This is a critical error and only creates more suffering as inferior genetics is allowed to spread more.
Please, support transhumanism and positive eugenics by shining a spotlight on this disgustingly offensive regulation.
H+ Forever, Death to Flesh.
Regulation stops progress in curing critical genetic diseases. Dogs will suffer through preventable diseases like hip dysplasia thanks to Obama's ignorant regulations.

I know we have some disparity between us on whether changing STEM to STEAM is a good idea.
I have a better solution that will be more effective at marketing to a younger demographic.

How "random" are Quantum Fluctuations?
>>8656602
More random than you think
>>8656602
more than tree-fiddy randometres
Enough for cryptography
If a particle feels a force from the left, which direction does it want to accelerate?
I'm serious, yo. Does this even make sense?
If I press down on an object on the ground, how come it doesn't accelerate?
When I press my gas pedal, in which direction does it want to accelerate?
>4channers saying that all women in science are fat autistics and men are extremely interested in them as they're rare unicorns
i just find it so weird, because women who are really into science have a hard time finding a BF who doesn't ridicule them for their interest or line of work because it's "boring". i haven't seen any STEM guys going specifically for STEM girls.
Yea all the guys at my uni aren't jointly drooling over the few girls there either. I't's just a meme.
>>8656430
it is. just why would you ever want a STEM girl? do you really think she'd be great as a gf? it's like thinking gamer girls are great to game with, but they just want to do their hobby alone
>>8656420
STEM girls are conceited, entitled slags because of all the male-sperg attention they get in undergrad. Most of them don't even like science, they pretend to like science because of feminism and the "I'm not like the other girls" meme.
Personally, I value creativity so I tend to like girls who are more artistic than analytical. But with artists as with scientists, the problem is being able to tell the real ones from the pretenders. Fortunately, I've gotten pretty good at it.
Is there any way to do this instead of long division?
It's not that I can't do it, it's just a pain in the ass.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_division
if there wasn't a coefficient of 2 in the divisor you could do synthetic division
>>8657301
No, synthetic division works when any poly is being divided by a linear factor.
What a fucking shame.
>>8656363
Also space colonies
>>8656371
Come the fuck on.

And humanoid robots, and automated kitchens, and flying cars, and spacesuits, and moon colonies
Atleast we do have the space station. That is pretty cool.
/CS is for brainlets/
Why is this meme still a thing?
CS is pretty hard, pic related. I bet that majority of STEM faggots would not be able to understand this book.
obviously there are harder aspects of CS
the claim is the the vast majority of CS majors are brainlets, which is obviously true
>>8656326
undergrad is for brainlets
>>8656326
>Why is this meme still a thing?
Because it rings true every time.
