What properties do two functions need to hold the distributive property? That is, what's the minimum criteria to be satisfied by functions [math]g[/math] and [math]h[/math] such that:

[math]g(x, h(y, z)) = h(g(x, y), g(x, z)) [/math]

>the effects are very slow, not really noticeable
In my lifetime, Japan went from a country where 10% of the population is over 65 to one where 30% of the population is over 65. From one where the median age was already 35 to one where the median age is over 50. The same is happening in the West, just with a bit of a lag.
The effect is of course far more noticeable for countries that had ridiculously high fertility rates for the entire 20th century and that are now at/below replacement level and falling.

These people are talking like they have a functional product that will be available by 2030. Is this real? If it is why doesn't it get more attention? Fusion power is like the holy grail of power production.

they aren't doing fusion research in order to actually create fusion energy. it's all about the other tech they improve or create to use in pursuit of this impossible task. literally none of them seriously believe we will ever achieve a fusion powered electric grid.
>>
>>16967268
They are yet another fusion meme company and I can guarantee that absolutely nothing will happen in 2030. That being said they are lot less of a meme than many of the other fusion companies and they do have a test reactor coming up soon™ so if you are interested just follow how that comes up. Their plan is for it to demonstrate viability. My prediction is that it demonstrates fusion and maybe even breaks even in the sense that the absolute energy going in will be smaller than the energy theoretically coming out but absolute energy going in will be like 1/10th of the actual electricity they need to use to run the machine and they will not capture most of the energy coming out so it will not be economical in any sense. They will then pat themselves on the pack for a job well done and seek funding for a bigger reactor that will for sure this time actually make more energy than it consumes.

>The new fusion power plant, named ARC, is expected to come online in the early 2030s and generate about 400 megawatts of clean, carbon-free electricity — enough energy to power large industrial sites or about 150,000 homes.

>CFS is currently completing development of its fusion demonstration machine, SPARC, at its headquarters in Devens, Massachusetts. SPARC is expected to produce its first plasma in 2026 and net fusion energy shortly after, demonstrating for the first time a commercially relevant design that will produce more power than it consumes. SPARC will pave the way for ARC, which is expected to deliver power to the grid in the early 2030s.

It sounds serious. I don't see any grifter language anywhere which is why it made me double take. Skepticism is totally valid but I think they believe they have something real.

What if i told you conventional reality is just a lucid dream. When you die, you go to the same place you go when you dream, the astral plane, the reality of ideas. Physical laws are lax in the astral planes, you can change reality just by wishing, however your mind will be dominated by the patterns you had when you were alive, hence it can be heaven or hell depending on your inclinations. Overtime new patterns form and ossify, and reality becomes "harder" with fixed rules, this is reincarnation.

If you're wondering if you're dreaming, then you are not dreaming.
Lucid dreaming is when you know you are dreaming, but you maintain increased control over yourself and even the dream.

In the recent sciencetology building raids, we have noticed that there was that staircase next to an elevator with a pincode, what if we could crack the pincode and leak it to the runners to further go deep inside the sciencetology building. Nobody knows what they might be hiding and it may be interesting, so if you are interested as well please help us in this investigation

Reread his post:
>how the fuck do we "crack the pincode" exactly? This is not a movie where the epic hacker digits a bunch of words and "enters the mainframe" or whatever.
Is there a reason to think this pin code is stored in some online database that someone could feasibly access?
Is there reason to think accessing this pincode, if stored anywhere online, is so poorly secured that some tard with a CS degree could find it on a Tuesday afternoon trolling sesh?
Even if all of those cases were true, is there any reason to believe that the people running this cult aren't sufficiently paranoid that they'd have web crawlers flagging every mention of their name online and would respond to seeing a thread like this by taking that pin code off the fucking database because that's a huge and obvious security failure?

Tl;dr: This isn't a job for a 1337 superhaxxor. It's "guess the random number between 0000 and 9999."
>>
>>16966168
There are a lot of ways I thought of, one is to look at the images and see the company of that pincode handle and see the factory password it comes with and see the possibility.
The second option was to look at the images and maybe we could tell how often pin keys are pressed from this we can maybe make an educated speculation about what the pin might be.

You can share your ideas as well.

As for the online database I don't think they will have such thing hanging for the public but if we're able to get access to it, it's interesting :)
>>
>>16966183
Not the person you are replying to (I am the one who made the first post).
Regarding the first issue, there is no way they kept the original factory password.
Regarding the second issue, I would like to inform you that we would have to extract the images from a video of people running, they are very blurry and pixelated; granted that such deformities on the pincode are present (and that's a huge if) there's no way we can see them in the video.
It's also not worth the effort, behind that pinlock there is either a warehouse with the books and CDs or the Division 7 office, which is just the administration.
Even if we somehow find out the pin, there's really nothing to gain from such a discovery.

I heard about some early computer programmers apparently adopting a 28-hour day with 6 days a week. Since they never went outside they didn't need to care about the natural day.
So they would sleep 6 times per week and apparently they found that easier to work with. But yours sounds a bit extreme

Hey, I'm a 20 year old piece of shit with a shitty history with mathematics.
From when I was 10 or 13 years old in elementary school, I already hated how they taught this crap. The teachers never explained the reason behind anything. For example, no one ever told me why (-) × (-) = (+), they just said “that’s how it is, shut up and memorize it.” It pissed me off deeply having to do shit I didn’t fully understand. The bastards just wanted us to accept rules without asking questions.
Because of that, I stopped paying attention in every single math class throughout my entire school life. I only passed because my friends let me copy their exams. I never actually studied.
In short: I don’t like moving forward if I don’t understand exactly why something works.
Recently I’ve gotten the urge to learn everything I missed back then. I started from basic arithmetic and I’m going topic by topic with my math book.
I’m doing this mainly because I love low-level computing. I’m fucking fascinated by computers and I want to truly understand them. I feel like if I master math, I’ll eventually get to Boolean algebra, logic, number theory, and all that related stuff I actually need.
And that’s pretty much it. I’m doing it just for fun.

That is the correct development. Yes, programmers aren't obsolete -- but code monkeys are. One more seniorish programmer can replace 5 monkeys. This is relevant for the CS degree because the CS degree is seen by a lot of people as a "programming degree". Just because (You) understand that CS isn't that, doesn't mean the average 105 IQ village idiot or their families understands that. So the CS student body fat being trimmed is not unwelcome or unexpected in the AI age.

I wish, but now most of those employers are running their business on debt, debt that was printed from nothing and lent at interest. A penny stolen from every pocket in proportion to their savings, and a collective interest payment that is in excess of the entire money stock on the planet. If they took loans they may not owe you on paper, but there is a commandment against its name, thou shall not steal, that demands a moral obligation to make you whole. They wont, which is why I'm on the get out end of things.

share what replicable thing she has done of interest, or just give up on your ideals.
People can talk all they want.
Here: I can posit that things can only do "one step" at a time therefore it explains why time space is a thing because because an system of two objects moves 3 steps but doesn't update is "younger" than the system that moves 1 step and updates twice, they spent the same amount of steps but the second system is 2 steps behind in space, because the first system used all its 3 steps, it has not changed from the start except position relative to the second system.
Here that's the dumb idea that's in the back of my head, there is no way of testing it (maybe if particles show some form of stutter at a constant speed under c though...), predicts not much and doesn't even explain gravity whatever I guess thats my informational theory of the world and you should not care but I liked writing it

Pick one.

I’m a Lead Engineering Technician (jumping between CNC machining and programming, drafting, NDT, A&P work, instrumentation, etc.) that works closely with engineers and scientists on government contracts, doing rapid prototyping—and I have to say: you people are fucking idiots.

It’s one thing to deal with people who have no idea how anything works—what is and isn’t possible—pushes anyway and then gets angry when it blows up in their face. But it’s a whole other thing when those same people also think they’re smarter than they really are and have the personality of Sheldon Cooper.

I hate working with you.
