Is reincarnation possible?
>>8606737
We live in a computer simulation, so yes.
>>8606737
No. Not as an animal, not as another human, just, no. When you die your brain stops, it doesn't get cut out and transplanted somewhere else (and what even would you transplant?). Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't have any good idea of what they're saying, they just have very motivated reasoning. Don't doubt what humans can do with that. But reincarnation? For real real? Fuck off.

Why do the retards on /pol/ think climate change isn't real?
The pseudo-science circlejerk mixed with batshit conspiracy theorists is palpable.
burden of proof is on you
climate change is too politically motivated for people to believe it straight up, people learned after the fake news about WMDs and won't fall for it again
>>8605585
why are you even here?
>>8605585
I absolutely hate that it has become a partisan issue. I can't help but feel this impending sense of doom.
Do you think there's hope for it anon?

I would programming using Sieve of Eratosthenes on Java.
I don't know matlab but your program will be more fast using this

loop over primes list.
>>8605630
primes(n) creates a single array of the first n primes, which can get huge. So it's restricted by memory. MATLAB won't allow arguments past a certain value.
First year CS student here.
If I were to continue attending this shitty Java school, I'd probably end up working for some shitty company developing shitty applications and adding bloatware upon bloatware just so they could have something to sell.
I despise corporate malware and have no intention of contributing to the cesspool that is the current software industry.
If I were to go into research, I would much prefer physics.
I was always into science and I didn't go for physics in the first place because I was full of doubt, insecure and I might have had somewhat of an inferiority complex (my mindset was like "Who am I to study physics?").
I'm not gonna get too much into that, let's just say it had a lot to do with math and physics competitions and great ambitions that I never had the strength to achieve.
In the latter part of high school I gave up on science and studying hard, I started watching a lot of anime, eating unhealthy, frequenting /g/ and tinkering with GNU+Linux distors while being shut in and at the computer and (probably to avoid my family) I reversed day and night.
One thing led to another and I ended up in CS.
Now I'm depressed and lonely, I hate myself (I was probably hating myself for a long time now) and I'm rethinking my whole life and how I regret giving up.
Should I drop out of CS and go for physics?
Or is it too late for me and I should just continue being comfy as a shut in autismo weeb programmer full of regret, escapng reality through anime and 4chan?
Sodachi Oikura is a bitch
>First year CS student here.
>Should I drop out of CS and go for physics?
As a general rule, if you are in your first year and you already find that you don't like the subject, get the fuck out while you still can and switch to something that fits your interests. You will NOT enjoy lingering for another three years doing something you don't care about.

> If I were to continue attending this shitty Java school, I'd probably end up working for some shitty company developing shitty applications and adding bloatware upon bloatware just so they could have something to sell.
You don't know that. For a matter of fact, you don't know shit. You're just a 1st year CS student.
> I despise corporate malware and have no intention of contributing to the cesspool that is the current software industry.
If I were to go into research, I would much prefer physics.
You are not smart enough.
> Should I drop out of CS and go for physics?
In case this is not shitpost, don't.
You will not find happiness in physics. I guarantee it.
The root of your problem is you keep picturing the what-ifs instead of facing your current reality.
Face your situation with dignity, don't make a habit of running away.
OK memes aside, I am a lazy shit 90% of the time but that 10% of time my productivity goes up 10000% and I manage to get a months worth of work done in a week. Its how I learnt quantum mechanics and general relativity during my undergrad and still passed with flying colors.
Is this trait going to be a problem for me later in life?
>>8604118
It's always good to only do as little as you have to and to never stand out in any way. Later on, people will ask you "How much did you work for your very average degree?" and you will say "Just an hour, I'm so lazy haha!!!" and they will calculate the result/work ratio and be extremely impressed. They will ask you about the video games you played etc. 300k starting, I swear m8. You will notice that in later life your success is not measured in grades or actual achievements but in completely distorted and subjective anecdotes about how little effort your put into your work. You will look back at the time wasted in your prime and regret nothing, guaranteed!

Its literally 50% the right box is pretty much xcluded if you know beforehand the pattern of arrangement
am i missing something?
>>8603718
I think we should add to sticky some of these threads with explanation of the answer (or just a wikipedia link) so we won't have to see the same shit over and over and over again.

>Well the ONLY explanation for this is that there are an infinite number of other universes with different parameters, you're just going to have to take this on faith though because we have absolutely no observational evidence for it and likely never will.
Modern physics is a joke. It's embarrassing to see "scientists" embrace an idea that is indistinguishable from a religious belief. Maybe we just need to build a bigger particle accelerator, r-right guys?
>>8601405
How about just shutting the fuck up and contributing something instead?
>>8601405
I'm with you OP, the scientific community should stop being so fucking hypocritical and stop grabbing each others' dicks regarding dark XYZ or multiverses, both unproven and probably unprovable.
>>8601636
but the scientific community isn't grabbing dicks about this -- it's facebook, media, 4chan, reddit, media, media, etc that grab dicks about this
have you ever read a scientific journal? if not how can you say what's going on in the scientific community?

Yet computers are able to replace mathematicians. The only profession that will exist in the future is the study of computers (computer science)

You obviously don't know the first thing about computers, they're pretty stupid. They can only compute what you've taught them to compute, and they can't compute mathematics unless taught mathematics. Computers are only a tool to be used by smarter people. That's like giving all your credit to a paper manufacturer because you used a piece of paper to write down a calculation.
>>8607609
honestly, math is one of the professions less likely to be replaced by computers. there's a big element of muddy artistic "intuition" to it at the high level

A lost statistics kek here.
I felt like lost ever since I took some unilateral CS classes. My imagination is entirely gone.
Lost all motivation. I have some books that have been collecting dust for close to a year. Haven't had the time to go through, but it's mostly a motivation problem.
What one does /sci/ recommend?

Oh look, another book collector who prefers shitposting on /sci/ instead of reading the books available to them.
