I have this idea that if you can see the amount of post per hour based on the time of day you could better predict how to get dubs,trips,quads and so on. Am i crazy could this work?
>>
>>16974917
Unless the board is extremely slow hourly post data isn't going to give you the resolution to grab dubs effectively. Think about it like this if the board gets 500 posts an hour normally and then today it gets 505 that's only 1% deviation which is incredibly common but at the same time that's enough to push the bubs indicator all the way from 11 to 16 e.g the opposite of dubs. Basically at this level you can only really aim for something like quints or higher at any appreciable chance vs just shooting at it randomly. You want something like minute by minute data if you want to aim at dubs. Basically you want the sample time to contain roughly 10 or so posts otherwise the margin of error balloons immensely.

How come just getting a good night's of sleep and practicing to solve similar logical/pattern recognition tests than those IQ tests use can make the difference between an average and an above average result, yet "IQ tests can't be cheated"? And if practicing similar problems is considered cheating, why would it? Intelligence is transferable across different learning contexts after all, and we need to be familiar with a certain type of thinking to solve similar problems

DEI + Corporatism have gutted this nation. Only radical but appropriate reforms can change our trajectory towards ruin (i.e. none of the typical garbage posted by reddit and 4chan.)

Neither party has the answer because they're not working for the common man, possibly not even America, and it's become blatantly apparent in the last decade.
>>16975323
Your theory ignores the rapid development of AI. Reducing the population will not create a perceived "need" for human development from the upper classes. They will just try to backfill with AI and if it fails, they still win because they control more resources.

Instead, fix labor laws, add accountability for corporate leaders, and give incentives for innovation in industry.

Hello fellow fraudulent EEfag. I got a B in my physics 2 class this week despite completely shitting the bed on the final with a 58, it was only 20% of the grade. I believe this is what oldheads would call "fraudulent". Genuinely makes me want to off myself because I was interested in pursuing RF stuff but if i cant even grok basic electrostatics I really legitimately might as well just give everything i own to a pajeet and off myself

HS physics is easy, if you spent an hour a day for 12 months you could probably get it done.
If you have an actual deadline and it's not just a goal you could study a couple of hours a day and be done months in advance and review everything.

Calm down.

so what are you up to /sci/?

>Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a Canadian math undergraduate, reportedly built a nuclear fusor in about 4 weeks, showing how quickly complex hardware projects can now be approached. A fusor uses high voltage electric fields to accelerate ions into plasma, where limited fusion reactions can occur under controlled conditions.
Hudhayfa Nazoordeen used AI tools to learn concepts, troubleshoot issues, and guide assembly. This drastically reduced the time traditionally needed to understand and build such systems, turning months of research into a much shorter, guided learning experience.
It is important to understand what a fusor represents. It is not a practical energy solution. These devices consume more power than they produce and are mainly used for education, experimentation, or neutron generation. Building one demonstrates technical ability, not a breakthrough in usable fusion energy.
With AI support, individuals like Hudhayfa Nazoordeen can move from theory to execution much faster than before. Knowledge that once required deep specialization is becoming more reachable, allowing more people to attempt advanced engineering projects.
The gap between learning and building is shrinking, and that changes how innovation begins. What once needed institutions can now start with individuals who have curiosity and the right tools.

In other words:
>I'm a retarded NPC who can't reason from first principles, therefore I cannot create anything novel myself, so since I'm so utterly limited everyone else must be too, therefore everything is reverse engineered alien tech.
Is that about it? Every psyop is like this. Made by and for the retarded.

>>>/x/42391691
This exemplifies it. I think this is a joke, but these types of statements are often serious. It's just stupid shit and they throw shit at the wall until the right retard is wandering through and something sticks. They hope the retard will use retard speak to propagate the manner of thought to other retards. IQ gap in communication and all that.

Stupidest thing I've ever seen. Even their OP image doesn't pass the vibe check, is debased, tryhard, utterly fucking stupid.

LARPs and psyops like this used to be at least kind of clever and fun. Now it's an endless barrage of low IQ slop. I'm sick of these "we never did or could make anything ourselves" fucks everywhere. Or "LEDs are alien tech!" Or whatever. Most history is bullshit but the half-truth narrative we get makes sense for how a lot was discovered. It's actually the inverse. What doesn't make sense about the historical narrative is how *long* everything took. Like the stuff about pythagoras, euclid, and all these archetypal figures which I think are probably made up. So the psyop is not only false it obscures.
