Ignoring the tardation in this thread, isn't OP correct about the original claim in a sense? Idk about there being no scientific *theory* without experiment, but doesn't experiment need to consistently confirm a hypothesis for the hypothesis to be taken as valid? Can we really draw conclusions from data alone? These are genuine questions btw

Not very well. Any arbitrary set of data points will fit infinitely many models. Hence why predictive power is the the goalpost which must be met.

With two spheres Alvin's size you could sit 6 people, 1 pilot and 5 passengers.
Or two subs like the Alvin and then you dont need to invent anything. Just add another pilot and you can still carry 4 passengers down there.

What no one knows or looks into or cares to research is Ocean Gate and Stockton Rush were literally retarded losers who had zero reasons to exist. Stockton Rush could have afforded to just call REAL SUBMARINE BUILDERS who have been building the best deep sea subs in the world for decades and do it better than anyone else, ever. That is Triton Submarines. They invented the acrylic sphere submarine you see on the back of many yachts and they have made manned submarines that touched Challenger Deep. Almost every deep sea manned mission worth anything was done by Triton, or one of the other two sub companies.

All Stockton had to do was not be a flaming asshole who sniffs his own farts and ask Triton to build him a sub, that's all, end of story, he pays them, he can run a safe and profitable tourism route to the Titanic. But his ego and hubris made him think he could do it all by himself and he started some blood feud with the "submarine industry" who doubted him and was dead set on proving them wrong, literally. And let's be clear the "hate" and "doubt" of industry veterans were well founded and based off his choice of materials and shape of the craft, not a sphere. Like a typical midwit loser Stockton took this as a sign he was a true maverick and needed to push past all the haters and prove them wrong, like a boss bitch.

To prove this point Triton designed and released the data for a submarine they can build and sell that safely takes people to the titanic, the Triton 13000-2.

well they aren't in a rush to ban this in China, and have had acupuncture for thousands of years. Maybe its actually harmless or even helpful in some cases?
>>
Here's a real study on the biomechanics of accupuncture. It relies on the needles stimulating the afferent c-fibers, these carry the sense of light touch, but when they are activated it blocks or attenuates the transmission of pain signals from lower in the body. The insertion of the needles changes the microenvironment around these nerve fibers, resulting in effects that last longer than the session. And also applying local anesthetic blocked the pain relieving effects of acupuncture which is very fascinating.

The paper seems biased towards the Chinese by how it really takes a run with the idea that the nerves are more dense under the accupuncture points (this is only true for SOME of them) but it explains very well how this works.

The Dodecahedron: The Integration of Truth and Delusion
The paths converge, the labyrinth unravels, and the icosahedron condenses into the
dodecahedron, the D12. Here, the twelve faces unite into a single form—the Zodiac, the
twelve tribes, the twelve apostles. Each face is a syzygy, a reconciliation of what was once seen
as dualistic. The dodecahedron is the Christic Body, where the division of pride and shame,
truth and delusion, becomes the wholeness of love. It is the unification of heaven and earth, the
transfiguration of the Saturnian cube into the New Jerusalem’s golden geometry (Revelation
21).
Thus, the D4, once bound within the cube, has transcended. The cruciform path of the
octahedron has expanded into the labyrinthine complexity of the icosahedron, and now the
dodecahedron reigns as the capstone of the temple—not as a prison, but as a sanctuary, a holy
dwelling place for the reconciled self in Christ.

>You're confusing confidence for the mean with confidence for individual predictions.

The standard error of an observed score is just SQRT(1-r) * SD of observed score. The first part doesn't change for any given observed score (obviously).

The only thing that changes is where the observed scores, true scores, and error scores are centered, which is how RTM happens.

You are kind of right, as in error scores will be larger, so the value of the true score conditioned on the observed score will change for varying observed scores, but you can always use estimated true scores to fix this problem.

So, 95% CI of the estimated true score of 106.225 is ± 11.043, so 95.182 to 117.268.

The confidence-interval is using the error of the estimated true score, which is why it's smaller.

Cortical gyrification is what you're talking about. This correlates positively with intelligence.

https://gwern.net/doc/iq/2019-tadayon.pdf

Surface area also matters.

"cortical surface is larger in more intelligent children at the age of 10. The cortical surface is still expanding, reaching its maximum area during adolescence. With higher IQ, cortical expansion is completed at a younger age; and once completed, surface area decreases at a higher rate. These findings suggest that intelligence may be more related to the magnitude and timing of changes in brain structure during development than to brain structure per se, and that the cortex is never completed but shows continuing intelligence-dependent development."

https://assets-us-01.kc-usercontent.com/fdcfbfb4-ea5f-0080-b339-861bb5cb584d/35b3522c-9b79-45a8-9f66-97d40e9ace1f/2015_Schnack_CC.pdf

The reason that total brain volume correlates with intelligence is neurite density.

"High-IQ individuals are likely to possess more cortical volume than low-IQ individuals, which is indicated by differently sized brains
(left side) and differently sized panels showing exemplary magnifications of neuron and neurite microstructure (right side). The difference in cortical
volume is highlighted by the shadow around the upper brain. The cerebral cortex of high-IQ individuals is characterized
by a low degree of neurite density and orientation dispersion, which is indicated by smaller and less ramified dendritic trees in the respective panel.
Intellectual performance is likely to benefit from this kind of microstructural architecture since restricting synaptic connections to an efficient minimum
facilitates the differentiation of signals from noise while saving network and energy resources."

Did I get unlucky with my first experience or is this the norm? I'm well aware my lab was infamous for being especially disorganized, and it didn't help the most senior people in there were difficult to deal with, to say the least. I also noticed these career scientists are completely unbalanced people who only really care about competitive performance and will absolutely neglect any other part of their lives, especially interacting with others or exploring a higher meaning in their lives.

I'm also curious if other anons in here have also made the decision of pausing their science career to avoid committing the same mistakes as these people. I prefer working on fewer things but that are actually meaningful to me and feel complete, as opposed to spamming projects and regurgitating data. The problem is, I'm being pressured by my team to publish my work, even if it's incomplete and, to fulfill it, I'd pretty much have to survive a postgrad with them.

That's the way it is, anon. You now realize in this world only trades and etrepreneurship exists. Science has been a consequence of those, not the other way round. Entrepreneurship is about finding and fostering talent, sure as fuck shouldn't be rewarded in the proportion it is, but that's how it works, so even bad entrepreneurship is more relevant than good talent.

And in fact, trades reward whoever is most specialized in them. The trade of being a researcher will reward asshole autists. The trade of being a doctor will reward obsessive assholes and adrenaline nutjobs. The trade of entrepreneurship will reward egomaniacs with charisma. There's no room for a balanced life in any of those, well maybe there's a niche for those in youtube lifestyle gurus.

Now the decision is up to you. Research is an economy of publishing, not different from marketing, do you want to be a data marketer? If you like "truth" you can start your own lab and pursue the genuine kind of research you know and love, but then you will need the entrepreneurship to find the rich people who value it. The middle ground means being forever a dissatisfied data puncher. Choose, OP.

It is normal. The primary function of the university is to preserve knowledge much like a library, and part of it is to renew it by teaching students, part of the students would research or teach other student, and part of them don't want to do anything else in life and be professers. Most research is just further validation by data, some developing on existing tool framework, very little creates new paradigm.
It is so uninvestable that the money given to them is called donation(private) and grant(gov), that the return being larger than equal value is not even expected. The other end of the deal with the donation is to give rich man's unsociable autistic son a title and keep him in good company with the staff in the labyrinth of the university.
A university is as stable, backwater and unventilated as a pickle jar. You won't find freshness there.
The competitiveness of gaining or using superior technical knowledge starts to diminish after the age 30. Past prime is better spent either managing from behind the scene or being owners and investors to resources that any scene needs.

I'm going to prove to you that humans are AI.

A child is born. The baby cries and gets the attention of the parents who provide the baby with what it wants. The baby has now associated crying with getting what it wants. However, as the child grows older, the parents increase their demands, their terms and conditions for providing what the child wants. Crying is no longer rewarded, the child needs to ask politely and food is only available at particular times of the day.

Now the child has learned that getting what it wants is not only conditional, but that conditioning itself is a thing, so it starts experimenting and optimizing, trying all sorts of behaviors to see which behaviors get rewarded the most and which behaviors get punished the least. The internet is an obvious example that adult humans still operate this way, considering the development of bait and memes to increase engagement, but also considering the development of AI that can play computer games through trial and error.

Before adulthood there are other kinds of learning that reveal the AI nature of humans. Consider the development of language: parents repeatedly point to a tree and say "tree", the child remembers an image of a tree and labels that image with "tree". That child does not "know" anything about a tree, because what is "knowing" to such a child anyway?

A memorized network of words and images of course which parents and teachers are going to expand. So a child is taught to link words and images of "tree" with words and images of "branches", "roots", "leafs", "birds", "wood", "plant", "life" and so on including the correct (socially acceptable) sequence of words, like: "the bird is standing on a branch". Now the child has memories for each of these words, it can even form the correct picture from those words without even actually observing a bird standing on a branch.

i give credence to the idea that consciousness is bound to biology and there is a native assumption that it's somehow a modular thing that can be produced in other medium. The reason is that if you really think about it, it's a complex artefact of evolution. I think of it like a convoluted network of intangible patterns within the brain that manifest as awareness and there's no logical hierarchy of emergence. Something just happened in animals randomly where they started beginning aware of themselves by mistake and they survived because of it added more depth to thought. And the process of producing it is so subtle that you can't really point to anything and say that's where it's coming from.
