>There's like ~2000 questions on AMBOSS for just IM
Was that just for the IM shelf, or IM as a topic? I don't remember there being that many, but maybe I've just repressed those memories. Biggest advice for the IM shelf is to think of every question as being systems based. If there's a multisystem tag for the practice questions, I would make sure to do all of those.

>The moment I looked at Step 2 questions, I immediately noticed how much longer the question stems were and how much more minutiae are packed into them as well lol.
Yeah they're really trying to bust peoples balls these days. They stopped using the classic buzz words because too many people were just memorizing them, and recently they've started using more H&P style questions where they give you two pages of bullshit formatted like a progress note and you have to sort through what's relevant and what isn't. Don't worry too much about that at this stage though, Step 2 had its share of bullshit but it wasn't nearly as heavy in the esoteric minutiae as Step 1 was imo.

>Was that just for the IM shelf, or IM as a topic?
It seems like the 2000 is for IM as a topic (the picture on the left). There's a study plan that AMBOSS has that has a more reasonable ~1200 questions (the picture on the left) but I opted to just do randomized blocks picked from the 2000 questions from the IM topic itself since the study plan goes by system and and I don't think I necessarily have time to do everything in time system by system. You can see on the right picture that cardiology is first and I'm worried I won't reach the stuff near the end.

My train of thought for now is that I think it's better if I do randomized blocks from the 2000 and then just see from the incorrects which stuff I need to improve upon. AMBOSS has an adaptive QBank mode which I was planning on using for that.

Precisely because it is an observation of nature, but outside the scientific paradigm. So you can shit on your own tits and be a materialist, but I could say to you "I am also a materialist...and these, my friendo, are materialistic observations".

No you're intentionally being retarded. Look at the dates, Gain of Function research means forcing microbes to gain abilities they did not have before. Wuhan wrote multiple scientific studies on novel Coronavirus before the outbreak. If done in a controlled way, it could be a way to study how microbes gain the ability to reproduce inside human populations, but it wasn't controlled. It was done in China for cheap, it was done someplace that had numerous safety violations, and it happened in the same city that the first patient got infected with Covid-19.

You already have the "incentive". If you believe in it invest into an empty oil well yourself. No one does this of course because oil wells do not magically fill up which itself reveals the actual motives. No shill advocating for this ever buys up empty oil wells because they aren't "believers". Instead it's just a rhetoric cudgel. Oil may or may not be abiogenic (we will strongly imply that it is without evidence), thus we will strongly imply and let the reader come to the conclusion that oil is infinite (it wouldn't be even if it was abiogenic) and thus climate change isn't real and you need to give more money to ExxonMobil (which also makes no sense even if oil was abiogenic and infinite). The payday for the shill is not in putting the stuff they peddle to use by investing in empty oil fields with the hope that they magically refill, it's in oil companies paying to spread this nonsense.

Your brainlets missing the point. Yes, mathematicians want to prove theorems, but its not just the truth of the theorem itself. The construction of theories (definitions, axioms, etc) and the proof of theorems is just as i portant, or even more so, that the theorems themselves. Thats why there are entire fields of math devoted to study proofs and different methods or proving the same result.

This isnt even some vague claim or "cope". Theorems themselves are a small part of mathematics, and knowing whether something is true or not without knowing anything else about it, provides a very limited amount of information. This is part of why mathematicians do provide proofs. If theorem were all we were interested in, then math textbooks would just consist of listing true and false statements. At the very least, we're generally interested in the proofs themselves, and usually much more besides that.
>>
>>17030284
This. The problem is that these fields that are dedicated to proving theorems are just flooded with crap, now. Almost everyone agrees most of it has become AI generated, and an AI can't verify a proof. It can't prove that an answer was obtained through existing theories or definitions, and it can't be the one to create those theories or definitions. It doesn't live in the real world and can't observe it. Good luck telling Chang and Pajeet that as they upload their 2000th AI-generated paper that day.

i do mathematics research with AI and its pretty slop and pretty good at the same time. I uploaded like 10 books in "My Project" and when I'm stuck I ask something very concise like "I have statement X Y Z D, find all the statements i can make with them across those 10 books+20 papers with page references" and it gives me good enough results. its amazing in this sense, but it write pretty random bs when you are not very concise with the request. it isnt ready to replace mathematicians but more mathematics will be produced

Why did (male) scientists come up with the theory that women care more about intelligence and money rather than looks, while freely admitting that looks matter the most in women?
I've seen multiples studies refuting that looks in men arent the most important (as if they were necessary), and they always say that they're surprised and that "more research is needed" and "the relationships are more complex than previously thought"

self reported data is garbage, every scientist knows this. also talk vs action can be very different so there's no value in asking people about their preferences, people lie to others and even themselves. but universities are also politically correct places, in 2026 maybe the most politically correct, so the academics that are aware of this stuff just stay quiet, especially if it's not related to their field.

PGP is broken. Discrete log based cryptography is obsolete. I have extensive technical expertise while also under Five Eyes surveillance for the past 4 months. They have a quantum supercomputer based on Spontaneous Parametric Downconversion which entangles 2^N photons starting with a gamma laser beam via a cascade of N nonlinear optical crystals (each halving the frequency while doubling the total number of entangled photons) for a total of 20 million qubits per quantum core. Bear in mind that government tech is 10 years ahead of the private sector. Current discrete log cryptographic schemes & hashing algorithms are obsolete due to Schor's and Grover's algorithms.

Gas station vapes are also compromised. There are photomultipliers underneath the screens (top left & bottom right as a small circle with dot @ center). Photomultiplier arrays also exist in public restrooms, e.g. Walmart. Close range interferometry. Focusing is unnecessary (AI can clean up the defocused image).

Gravity is real and Einstein is full of shit.
It is only analogous to acceleration for point particles in perfectly uniform fields (which are pretty much equivalent to fields that don't exist) - making equivalence principle a circular logic - "if I make my system equivalent then it's equivalent".
In any more complex system than the above gradient of the gravitational field can be detected and measured due to the tidal forces it causes.

So a year ago or so i did the mensa.no internet test and got 135, being an easily exitable moron i was fully convinced this might be true to some extent, and that infact i was a unrealised genius!. A cocoon not aware it could become a butterfly. So i checked out when you could take the supervised test in my town and signed up for it. 40€ they wanted those bastard but me thinking this was my chanse to make it big i payed like a good boy. When there did the test and about a month later the test results came giving me an 119! IQ point not fucking close to getting in. And as im now quite some time later realising is that this is probably how those pompus pricks fund their little operation, baiting in midwits to pay the midwit tax.
