Of course, humans are after all just organic super computers and eventually they won't even seem so super.

Who gives a shit what miyazaki thinks, he's wrong about everything.

Yeah of course.

A lot of machine learning is based on good and bad reinforcement. Essentially all pain is to us is a bad reinforcement that keeps us from harming our bodies. Potentially, if an AI is given a physical body, there would be negative reinforcement to harming it's body.

I think by all means this would be indistinguishable from the pain we experience. That is, it wouldn't really matter about the 'qualia' level differences.

>>8596136
Better question:
WHY WOULD YOU

Why would you create an AI that can feel pain, know remorse, understand entropy and the inevitability of its demise.

Why willingly subject an "immortal" being to the suffering of man's existence.

Making an AI that can feel pain is the quickest possible step to making a rouge AI.

Well, everyone knows the age old equation, proven by Gauss

Money = happiness

That said, they probably still have them. I just don't think you know many billionaires.

That's because they're hopped to the gills on coke.

It's well-established that equal societies have less mental health issues.

Any tips for a beginner? I got a scope a few weeks ago, only really looked at the moon and a few stars.

We live on a 2 dimensional plane with ((us)) being the 3rd dimension. The Firmament, stars, sun, moon planets are inside of a "cosmic egg" inside of a 4d cube. Higher dimensions exist outside the cube. This creation is the result of an intelligence beyond our understanding.

That's an excellent pic anon, I'm taking it and people who think the earth is flat spend the rest of their spare time licking windows.

If you are already at a level where you can do research then probably yes.

If you are just going to smoke crack while learning integration techniques then no, and your drugs will only enhance your brainlettery.

>>8594116
Who Said Crack u Stupid piece of shit

>>8594120
It is the same shit. Even if you are a big pussy who is going to just smoke weed, if you are still a brainlet you will just get worse.

Drugs expand your mind. If you are an enlightened intellectual then drugs will enlight you more. If you are a retard then drugs will enhance your retardation. That is why it is not recommended that you smoke, even weed, before you are 25 as your brain has not finished developing.

I forgot to mention, in the past decade, there has been a huge transformation in the economic literature.

There has been a complete shift from theoretical papers with unrealistic assumptions to empirical, experimental and quasi-experimental papers. A few decades ago, maybe 3/4 of all papers were purely theoretical, based on ideal assumptions... now the vast majority of papers in the modern macro literature are empirical/experimental/quasi-experimental.

Just to pre-empt any response from clueless monkeys =)

Economics is a mix of mathematics and psychology in the following sense:

Economists use mathematics to model many different things and to get meaningful data out of economic systems. They use mathematics to study their systems. But when it comes to what they research or what they decide to implement or to push for it is all, like in psychology, based on their own political bias and what they want to be true.

If you get 100 economists and asks them to get some stats they will all give you the same stats.

If you ask those same 100 economists to predict how the economy will move in the following year they will all say roughly the same things, with roughly the same figures.

If you ask those same 100 economists to tell you what policy should be implemented to better that prediction you will get 100 different answers. The politically liberal will say: INCREASE MINIMUM WAGE, TAX THE RICH MORE AND IMPLEMENT A BASIC INCOME FOR ALL. The politically conservative will say: TAX THE RICH AND CORPORATIONS MORE. TAKE OUT FREE HANDOUTS GIVEN BY THE GOVERNMENT. DECREASE MINIMUM WAGE.

And some slight variation of these two main camps from person to person. There will be 1 guy who calls for the genocide of rich people. There will be 1 guy who calls for the genocide of poor people. Etc.

And then if you ask them to predict how their changes would help the economy then they would all come with the same conclusions: "See? Lower unemployment and more wealth for everyone!!!!!"

Even though only one side can be right.

>>8597765
>TAX THE RICH AND CORPORATIONS MORE
*less, obviously.

Is this board just going to keep going on psuedo-intellectual ramblings or help me out? The most unscientific topics get the most replies.

You should do what you find enjoyable.
Chances are you'll hate machine learning.

I'm sorry, I wouldn't have made the post if I haven't been searching for it in the past hour and a half.

Refresh your high-school math skill with Khan Academy.

Go to Library Genesis and Torrent sites to collect older-edition (but still fairly recent) textbooks for math, sci, eng, etc.

Go to ocw.mit.edu and use the resources for various classes there (there's a damn good collection of lecture videos for Linear algebra, calc, diffy Q's, chemistry, algorithms, etc.)

Don't be a pussy; keep your focus, and if you can't understand something, look it up on youtube for alternate explanation.

read "A Mind for Numbers" from Oakley, which gives some hella good tips for learning advanced math/science shit.

anon, i'll kiss you if i saw you

Aww, shucks. Just doing my job.

continue: this is newtons quote on god, (unrelated)

but still..its time to end the myth of the lone genius in science

Well yeah

Collaboration is a huge part of innovation
It's just the popsci brainlets that twist the reality toward what is emotionally satisfying

>>8597138
>newton did not write the principia...he was a co-writer of the principia with Hooke, Flamsteed and Stephen Gray
wrong.

>Einstein had Hilbert and Emmy Noether's help
Doesn't change the fact that his own contribution was revolutionary.

Fuck off, commie.

>>8597043
No because cells also deal with problems that aren't solved by maintaining proliferative capacity, which will eventually overcome the body unless you treat them

>>8597043
Yes. But we would also develop cancer that had to be removed constantly.

I've been seeing a rise in biological immortality threads on /sci/ and in the news. What's up with that?

Also there has been a rise in want to be edgy nihilist shit posters as well.

The instructions are one or more bytes that gol into the instruction decoder in a microcontroller and is connected to the microsequencer that executes the instruction by connecting and disconnecting buses and signalling parts like ALU etc.

Look up 6502 as a most excellent example of a microcontroller.

>>8596797

the instructions are sets of 1s and 0s

Instruction usually refers to the disassembled assembly operation while the 1s and 0s are the opcode

An instruction is just a command for a turing machine. It's like this: "move this byte to this address" "go back on the tape to this point" "subtract this from this" "move the result here"
