I have a 'euro' secondary vocational degree/diploma of 4 years, how do i calculate how many US college credits do i have?Everywhere i read it says that a typical american A.S. degree is around 60 credits. So i have a sneaking suspicion my papers just might pass as an A.S. equivalent in the US, but i'm clueless as to how i should i count the credits.I have 31 classes listed (excl. the "highschool" classes), many of which span multiple semesters. The general calc guideline i found is:[eqn]{\textsf{Class hours} \over \textsf{15 weeks * N of semesters}} = \textsf{Credits}[/eqn]Using this formula my theoretical electrical engineering should be 175 / (15*2) = ~5 college creditsAm i mathing this right?
>>16787258if you're white you have 0 credits
>>16787258Have you taken the Calculus sequence and maybe a diff eq class? physics? if so than you prob have or are close to an A.S
>>16787258I hate these metric vs imperial threads.
>>16787258There's no 1:1 correlation. If you're trying to transfer, the college you're applying to will evaluate where you stand on a course-by-course basis.
>>16787258How does frog poster spam so many threads?Asking for science.>hurr its more than one person.No its not you stupid cunt. The threads are always the same sort of shit
Why is 0.999... = 1 considered a controversial topic?
>>16786126Dangerously based and rigor-pilled.
>>16786427>0.999... is not a rational number.3/3 = 3*(0.33333....) = 0.999999... = 1.Your claim is demonstrably false.>0.999... is not even a correct notation for a decimal number.You can't write out an infinite amount of the same number or any infinite pattern. The idea is that it represents 9 in each of the decimal digits going on forever, so in essence a geometric sum with a starting value of 0.9 and an additive ratio of 9/10^n.>0.999... can be defined as either "what you get when you write 0.99(infinitively many nines)9" or as a limit of sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ... or as a hyperreal represented as a sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999.Those are all the same thing. No mathematician even argues this unless they come up with their own mathematical system where they aren't the same and then derive the consequences of this or see which of the standard number theoretic axioms have been thrown out to achieve this. >Again, (1 - 0.999...) / (1 - 0.999...) may have different values depending on a definion.That's dividing by zero in every single case, which tells me you're full of shit since it's common sense that dividing by zero (whether the numerator is finite and no zero, zero or infinite) results in undefinable nonsense.Can you faggots actually learn mathematics or just get a new fucking hobby that doesn't require critical thinking? This clearly isn't your wheelhouse and saying shit that people conclusively proved 200+ years isn't true just makes you look like a fucking arse at best but more than likely just like a walking retarded mess.
>>16789088Your grandfather has been fucking your ass again we see.
>>16786015It's the sort of argument first-year maths students argue about in the library. Next year they'll be arguing about set theory. The year after combinatorics. Finally, they'll compare abstract math to wizardry, insisting it requires faith and is therefore no different than a religion. They're right about the last part.
>>16786015Lmfao at that first thread. Brainlet wordcels are the best.
Is education a scam?>waste your best years studying goy so you'll have a potential (potential, not guarantee) to earn 150% of what other plebeians do...>but will it give me a potential to become rich?>ha ha ha ha ha, of course not you silly goy - you have to be born right and/or know the right people for that, regardless of your education status...
>>16783479Education is only as good as what the user can make of it.>>16783488>>16783841>>16783969What you call knowledge is just culture. You can acquire it at schools, homes, books and whatnot and use it at your own discretion, but there are other forces at play. Intuition exists too, for example and people have been living very successful lives intuitively.
>>16783479I got an education and got into a job that requires an MA just to be trained. I now have lifelong tenure, earn ~€4,500 net and will get a pension that is over double the average retirement average workers get. I think my education paid itself off already just by me being job-safe forever.
>>16783479>Is education a scam?noyou were socially conditioned as a child and young adult, you had no idea what the truth was. your task as an adult is to unpack that conditioning and learn for yourself. don't go to university to get a job, go to learn about life.
>>16787334Just save a little bit money over the course of 45 years and you will get the same pension working as a toiletcleaner lmao.
>>16783856Lmao you lost so bad

I have become attracted to my statistics professor.

Theorically speaking, is it more advantageous for a man to be born into a rich, smart, or good looking?
>>16789078Born into a rich, smart, or good looking what? Body? Family? Neighborhood? Planet?
realistically speaking, not theorically, it doesn't matter. the character of the family is what matters for you to be successful - in the real meaning of the word - in this world
>>16789078I heard a Buddhist dude say it will take Pol Pot a thousand lifetimes before he is even reborn as a bug. Pretty fucking deep really and sufficient punishment in this guys mind.But isn't 1,000 microbial lifetimes like 10 days tops?Makes you think.
>>16789089Rich family I meant
>>16789118Obviously if you were born into a resource sparse planet you wouldn't be getting very far in life would you. Suck it Terrans! Suck it Fishes!
post fluid nigga i scored 137 sd 15 most of you should score 90-110 max dont look up tibbies video she is retarded too.
>>16789028You're the retard. It's an online meme test that Mensa made "for fun." Mensa has never accepted it as a valid or official IQ test of any kind.
Some of these were fairly ambiguous, meaning I had to guess.Like the 1, 0, -1, 0, X pattern. It could be that the pattern is (-1, -1, +1, +1) or it could be that the pattern is (-1, -1, +1) etc.I went with the first one, but either one makes sense to me.
>>16788950>137 - (3*16)>92lolmao
>>16789067Your gotcha doesn't work because he probably just took OP at his word that "post fluid nigga i scored 137 sd 15.">sd 15>sd 15
>>16789105it's pretty dumb to take the person you're calling stupid at his word
>>16787506Why is modern windows so ugly?Why isn't there a linux distro as bueatiful as Vista?t. still running 7

>>16787697>Why isn't there a linux distro as bueatiful as Vista?>t. filtered by hyprland docs
>>16787697Because shit UI design is cheaper in the long run. Same shit happening in many industries when MBA execs chase after quick money and don't understand the concepts of customer loyalty and how that increases a brand's profits in the long term as compared to min-maxing short term gains and losing customers as a result.Install some Arch Linux derivative (preferably one that's beginner friendly) and knock yourself out:https://gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma/I don't use Arch btw. I use Debian.
No.The future of science is jeets, zipper heads, and dumb bitches scamming the system to advance their positions, corporations using science for any marketing leverage, and politicians twisting science into narratives to suit their agendas.The worse part is the normies swallow all this bullshit without batting an eyelid. Well fuck, they get what they deserve then.
Pls post your cool, interesting and strange Mandelbrot-set findings, facts or material, thanks.Picrel was generated after more than half an hour (or so, I don't remember exactly but it took awhile because I zoomed in a lot) of computing time using the following online resource:https://math.hws.edu/eck/js/mandelbrot/MB.html
There’s also the program xaos. Gives you lots of options for exploring fractals. The burning ship fractal is pretty cool too
>>16784115>>16783935I see...
>>16783559are you talking about fractint? when i was a student that was the fractal program of choicewhat's the best fractal generating program now? that will run locally i mean
>>16783715that looks coolwallpaper worthy
>only even prime is 2>trivial solutions' powers are in -2Coincidence? I think NOT
The trivial zeros are there because of the sine, the sign being there because of the Gammas, the Gamma being there basically because of the integral representation.
>>16786398I mean sine, not sign
>>16786390In a formal system, every truth is dependent on every other truth also being true, so coincidences don't exist.

>French fusion reactor sets record>Holds plasma for 1337 secondsKEK
>>16788544It appears to just be a content farm that's trying to recapture the magic of "I Fucking Love Science" from the early social media days, and is doing a poor job of it so far
>>16788574It's an AI-Slop website retard.
>>16788854Not really worth arguing over, but no it's not. They used an AI image in that article about the fusion reactor, perhaps mistakenly, but their articles are pretty clearly written by humans with significant online footprints who can be tracked to other places, and the site has been around since before 2022 when ChatGPT came out and the current AI boom started
>>16788857I'm not going to read the article or visit your website but neither of your arguments actually mean that the article has to be human made. Sites that previously employed humans switched over to AI spam just as readily as entirely new spam sites so age has nothing to do with it and authors that write for such sites can be tracked and and be "definitely real" journalists or what ever but still use AI to write their articles or at least the least important articles these days
>>16788509Never seen what a zero point reactor does to its immediate surroundings?!
Science ain't nothin' but a bunch of made-up hooey, I reckon. Them smart folks in their white coats, they jus' tryin' ta control our minds with all them big words. They say the world's round, but I know it's flat as a pancake. They got us all believin' in atoms and molecules, but I say it's all just smoke and mirrors. They jus' wanna keep us dumb folks in line, that's all. I ain't fallin' for it, no sirree.

>>16789016>whats your favorite dinosaur?For me, it's always been ankylosaurus. Tank dinosaur is tank.But I really think bird dinosaurs are the coolest. There's an owl dinosaur who lives in the pine trees outside my window. Dude is a apex small-mammal carnivore.
>>16789060>owl dinosaurI was talking to a parrot dinosaur at a party. It knew English, Farsi, and Chinese.

So there is absolutely nothing after death, no consciousness, just non-existence, as before my birth. I will become dead matter again, originating from a nebula which itself originated from a supernova. And in the future, if someone is born with the same brain architecture as me, would they be me ?
>>16788723>doubling down on being a retardDefine consciousness
Ok, but the real question is how do I keep my consciousness living forever?I don't want to die, Anons.
>>16788895You must release your ego to accept that you are the universe itselfsee >>16785784
>>16778622Be careful. The qoute in your image comes from Hegel, who believed in only the progress of ideas. He did not believe in physical things but you are applying it to physical things. Don't schitz yourself out by applying the conclusions of idealism to a scientific view of the world.
>>16789033You are the universe itself, anon. Our quantum mechanics and general relativity do not allow such things. But we don't know yet how to link them together to create a quantum gravity theory. Look at the (M theory) we are probably living in a potential 11-dimensional universe. So yes, you can create theories about the universe, but you need to be a bit more careful and look at our current understanding of it, in order to develop other theories, just like Einstein with Newton’s works
if free will is real, how come the past is fixed?according to relativity, time is just another dimension in space, and the past exists today and doesn't get erased. then why aren't people from the 15th century able to change the course of history?why are they forced to take actions that lead to 2025 as we know it? if we really had free will the timeline would change every few months
>believes in relativity because it seems like its true>believes in mechanistic causation because it seems like its true>does not believe in free will even though the hardest determinist still feels like its true within their experience when deciding whats for dinnerthere is no real reason to believe any of these things over the other, yet the debate is always shuffled to free will. I for one reject causation. Its all merely coincidence we have read too much into.
>>16788896
corr is this true?
>>16788015afraid so
>>16788015>confirms EinsteinEinstein believed that gravitational waves could not be detected.
>>16789035BREAKING: LIGO lied. Ever heard they controlled for trucks on the road? As if they can actually do that.
