Hey /sci/, I don't know if this should be directed towards /lit/ or not, but I thought I'd ask here.

Does anyone know of any good nonfiction books about Artificial Intelligence?

To the /sci/entists who got rejected by the top world uni's, e.g. Harvard, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge.

Do you think that you got rejected, not because you weren't qualified, but because you weren't posh or attractive.

Amongst all my classmates, only the presentable and goodlooking ones got in. Even the averages in most others got in. I think it may have to do with presentation of college, but damn.

Nah not really, I think my interview could've gone a lot better.
I know plenty of ugly people that go to Oxbridge so don't really think that comes into it.
Being super rich or your parents going there would probably be helpful but you've still got a good chance if you're kinda poor because they are always being pressured to let in less privileged students.

First of all, i know about the laws of thermodynamics that energy is not created nor destroyed but I still can't really figure this out. In our planet, almost all the energy present comes from the light that is irradiated in our surface (except for geothermal caused by the core's high temperature that will eventually cool off, the tidal that is caused by the moon that will eventually either crash with the earth or wander off, and chemical/nuclear caused byu reactions of elements present in the earth). The sun heats the surface and chances pressures and temperatures to create winds, currents, water cycles, it's gathered by plants that transform it to chemical energy or is gathered directly by humans, etc.
My question is, after all that energy gets somehow "used" by humans where does it goes?

Let's say we have a universe with a star that irradiates a planet with a solar panel connected to a motor that moves a weight. Where does the energy used by the motor to move the weight goes? and after said star dies, where is all the energy of that universe if it's supposed to be the same at the start?

my only guess is that everything just ends up hot because all that energy ends up being thermal energy but i'm not sure scientist would call "big chill" a universe where all energy is thermal

The universe is also expanding infinitely so the heat and energy is being spread thinner and thinner. But for even our galaxy cluster to breakup is on extreme timescales and most Stars will be burnt out by then

is this impossible to integrate and if not what is the answer, am convinced you can't integrate b/c of the limits at the discontinuities being = to infinity

>>8639253

Just to eyeball the graph, the proposed integration blows up to positive infinity, and such can be demonstrated in a straightforward manner. So depending on how you are you learning calculus, you might say that the thing "equals infinity", "goes to positive infinity", "does not converge", or another equivalent statement.

Now OP, if you wanted to consider two infinite areas, one positive and one negative, or other species of cases where a function (and particularly its graph) behaves like and /looks like/ an odd function, then you might avail yourself of the Cauchy Principal Value. The Cauchy Principal Value is a tool in analysis for assigning values to /certain/ improper integrals which would (and which are) normally "undefined, does not exist, goes to infinity", etc.

Consider the graph of the tangent function between negative pi over two, through pi over two. This thing is /odd/, meaning that the parts on either side of the origin are /congruent/. So there is a definite sense in which /these two particular infinities do legitimately cancel each other out, from moment to moment, as the limits are taken. It is this notion that the Cauchy Principal Value captures.

Try this: Plug the following into Wolfram alpha:

Int(tan x , x, -pi/2, pi/2)

You will notice toward the bottom of the outputs that a CPV, or "PV" is assigned: it is precisely zero, which makes graphical and intuitive sense.

PVs must NOT be confused with the ordinary rules of integration. The above integral, taken by itself, still "does not converge", "does not exist", etc. the CPV is just a way of getting around that by saying "well yeah, but..." in some cases.

Sec = 1/ cos
Tan = sin/cos

Sec tan = sin / cos^2

= sin / 1 - sin^2

Has no discontinuities.

You can use trig identities to do it. But Idk what it is offhand.

For months now, there's been speculation that researchers might have finally created time crystals - strange crystals that have an atomic structure that repeats not just in space, but in time, putting them in perpetual motion without energy.

Now it's official - researchers have just reported in detail how to make and measure these bizarre crystals. And two independent teams of scientists claim they've actually created time crystals in the lab based off this blueprint, confirming the existence of an entirely new form of matter.

True by virtue of the inherent symmetries (look at the problem and analyze it around the symmetric parts. I don't have words to describe it accurately) Then combine this with a unique key approach aka fitting the smallest digits/numerals to unique keys.

Does anyone else feel that the entirety of science (and mathematics) is trivial?

I think I must just be literally to smart to study science.

We can pretend all we want that just because scientific concepts can be presented in a complicated fashion, hidden under a shit-ton of specialized terminology, they are therefore "sophisticated." But, ultimately, we must admit that this is a delusion. All scientific concepts can be boiled down into analogies so simple that a pop-sci brainlet can understand them. There is no sophistication. Our efforts to "truly understand" these concepts are pointless.

Sure. If science is soooo easy, then why do all the really smart scientists have cool beards? Darwin, Mendelev, uhhh.... Darwin again...

Are you calling beards trivial? They're obviously a sign of intelligence/superiority. And if all the genieouses like science, how is science in itself not a geniius?

Checkmate, jealous brainlett.

Nice. You really got me there.

Also, let's not forget that the "greatness" of the ancient Greeks is merely a meme passed down through the ages. Nobody even gave a shit about them until the Renaissance, and as we all know, the people back then were gullible dumbasses. Intellectuals today only worship the supposed ancient thinkers to feel better about themselves and validate their autistic pursuits. The same applies to all of the "great" scientists.

After watching a documentary on Absolute Zero and having no other understanding of anything smart here's my theory

The heatdeath of the universe is the only condition capable of creating absolute zero temperature. Once that happens all matter becomes quantum waves and collects together until it heats up again then boom big bang

The universe is expanding in to absolute zero temperature space

Nah I tossed that in. But they said that everything acts like waves and is able to be in the same place at the same time, I can't wrap my head around all the matter in the universe being the size of whatever small thing it was before the big bang

Far, far less than you would have if you'd studied serously or tried to do something yourself.

Also, whatever you do get will be mixed in with bullshit and you won't be able to tell which part is which.
