Anons, I really need your fucking help. I can't stop thinking in songs. If I manage to stop thinking about one, another one takes its place immediately. I'm also having less and less control of my own conscious thoughts as time passes.

It's got to the point where it's really fucked me up in my exam. Can someone help me?

Why can I smell my piss when taking a piss?

I smell thing when molecules enter my nose, right.
But the piss is going down, not up, they have a downward momentum, so how can they get up, when there's no wind or anything or no movement at all?

Why is the term "cherry picking" the name of a logical fallacy? I understand the fallacy itself, but why is it called that?
If I pick a fruit off the tree where it grew, and it happens to be a cherry, I can infer within reasonable doubt that this tree is a cherry tree, and any other fruit it produces will also be cherries.

I'm learning calculus 1 and 2 for the first time and and have heard people say how difficult it is, so have worked a big scary bogeyman image of it inside my head. It has been smooth sailing so far. Learning differentiation first, have covered the quotient rule, power rule, constant multiple rule, sum rule, and their proofs so far. What are the more difficult concepts to look out for? T-t-thanks guys.

Let me stop you there. It can be proven formally, and verified using computerized systems
>b-but Anon, the fifth postulate.
Does have alternatives. Pic related. But Charles Dodgson went ahead and proved that Euclid's axiom results in the most simple determination of the 27th prop.

There is literally nothing wrong with Euclid. Prove me wrong.

It assumes the existence of reals, because for the objects to exist and have properties postulated by Euclid they have to have irrational coordinates, but as we all know perfectly well the reals don't exist, and therefore Euclid's axioms are logically incoherent and therefore are bullshit
>>
>>8598694
The existence of reals? The definitions are proofs enough. And they are hardly a priori. I don't believe you can really call anything a priori until you hit postulate five. Then you're dealing with two lines, two angles, and a postulate which depends on another postulate. I understand that mathematical judgments can be synthetical, however why is it that the definitions are necessarily informal?

The main problem lies in postulate five my friend and many agree that the definitions are solid and even can be formally accepted mathematically.

hey 4chan this year i'm double majoring in Mathematics and CS with Physics Minor so i want to have a flexible schedule and i'm really looking for reading Maths,CS,Ph papers in arXiv and be profiecient with CS/Maths

so what resources do math majors use or how to build a solid and Pretty rigors Maths foundation ?

and what's the best school of CS Knuth one or Dijkstra one ?

looking for inspiration guys and very willing to spend 20,000 hours in these two fields and i've trained my self the past 2 weeks to sleep only 4-6 hours daily and isolating myself from all online offline distraction

personal stories are welcomed

thanks in advance for anyone ^^

You sound like a pseudo-intellectual high school graduate who greatly overestimates his own intellect. Surely, if you're not a brainlet, you can learn the mimimum requirements for a bachelors degree on your own. But going straight into research stuff is gonna be a long long way.
>>
>>8597375
yes ^^
but it's a vague term however by today standards it means real analysis and pre measure theory

If he is the kind of guy who goes around making big claims/boasting then I can assure you that he is not smart enough.

You know where big breakthroughs come from? From people who have no connection to the media nor to any establishment other than whoever is funding their underground research.
>>
>>8597309
Don't know, investor's money doesn't just fly to people on its own, so he will eventually say stuff like that.

To be honest, our understanding of neural networks is not quite mature enough to even grasp what "general intelligence" really means.

How badly am I fucked, and what do I do from here?

I'm a Physics / Planetary science double major halfway through my junior year. I've fucked up a shitload, but I'm at least going to graduate on time. However, my cumulative GPA is in the tank (~2.6), I've never spoken to any of my professors, and I have zero research or internships.

Do you literally just walk up to a professor and say, "Hey, give me some research"? I've been looking through the research of the professors in my department and it seems so far above my level that its completely inapproachable. I also don't know how they'd react with a student they didn't even know existed.

Where do I start with this shit? Is it too late?
