should i study applied mathematics at a shitty university? will i be able to land a job and maybe eventually relocate to the US or is it a waste of time? I'm about to graduate with a computer science degree but I dont think it's as flexible as math degree, however I am already 24 and I don't know if wasting 3 more years is worth it
>>16567222then I’ll do something else related to programming and banking. Should I study mathematics or not
>>16567217These firms look for people who have won math olympiads when they were teenagers and typically hire PhDs. Getting a couple of A's in math in high school is not a good litmus tests for finding out if you're built for quant trading
>>16567215If you already have a degree in CS what is the point? if you're dead set on getting into maths, try to get into a maths grad program
>>16567261because I forgot most of math and I think I’d rather do something related to finances and programming

Sponges and placozoans have no neurons. But they're more closely related to us than ctenophores, which DO have neurons.This paper says poriferans and placozoans lost their neurons:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4650130/This one says ctenophores evolved neurology independently:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4334147/
>>16567252sounds right. mercy is, on average, the closest planet to all the other planets. and the net velocity of an explosion is zero.still, convergent evolution is pretty cool.
>>16567252Nope, it seems that ctenophores split off before the bilatarian/poriferan split. Ctenophores have nerves, muscles, and all sorts of stuff that sponges don't.
>>16567110It means comb jellies independently evolved them.They also use different neurotransmitters from everything else.
>>16567252>>16567446
>>16567448You don't think its more likely sponges just evolved away from neurons?
The lowest rank is actually 68.4k. Probably a bot that plays randomly.How can I find the rating?
>>16567432You have the rank formula right there.
>>16567452That tells rank, not rating.
Can you solve this conundrum?How does McDonald's serve 2.5 billion burgers a year?
>>16566892Kek is this Minecraft brain or what? Like every cow only drops one raw beef item
>>16567396its the kind of thing flat earther types come up with, believing themselves to be incredibly smart and able to notice simple things that all other mere mortals just cant see.so he's either like that, or is trying to start some kind of new dumb meme for the luls.
>>16567418The attention whoring economy has made a mess of everything. "Look how stupid I am" pays and the more outrage one can attract, the more attention one gets. When this turns into clicks and ad impressions, it's easy to see why some go this route.Of course he could just be an actual moron. There's no shortage of them either.
>>16566892What if I only get chicken and potatoes and sauce?
>>16567443there can't possible be enough chickens to serve so many wings and legs!

Scientists call animal rape "forced sex" and a lot of animals do it, male dolphins will get together and gang rape a lone femalethis this mean that rape is not really a crime, just a reproduction strategy and really just sjws made it a crime when we started having societies?
>>16563152the moraltards found this thread
>>16563152>a reproduction strategyYes, for low ranking males in chaotic environments, e.g. India.It has its risks too, you might easily get killed if you don't at least have some backup from the rape pack.
Many males guarantee offspring.The strongest male contributes the most sperm.
>>16566553>moraltards
>>16563152You sound religious. Many religious people have problems stopping themselves from raping and murdering without being fooled into thinking that skydaddy will send them to eternal lava rape prison unless they don't rape and murder.
why are harvard science professors so incompetent?
>>16561791Harvard isn't about education, dummy. It's about networking.
>>16561791A frog on a unicycle is a better tutor than Harvard professors.
>>16561820I mean, isn't the issue homework then at that point? It was always equated with having learned the material.t. someone who never did homework and got bad grades because of it
>>16564580Lectures are the least effective way to learn, especially compulsory lectures. It's been proven over and over again that passive learning is shit, no one can maintain an attention span for the duration of an entire lecture let alone several lectures in a row, it's not personalized so it's either going too fast for people who can't keep up or too slow for people with better understanding, there's barely or no engagement, lecturers suck and barely give a shit, we could go on.It's a relic of old times where textbooks were less comprehensive and harder to come by and there was no learning research. Lectures are obsolete.
>>16565381>and not what I said at allWhat did you say then? Because to me you assigned more value to lectures than to self-study. I would say this is only true about the subjects you don’t give a shit about since you have no motivation to study them. Otherwise, self-study is superior as you can pace yourself, focus on things you need to focus and don’t have some random requirement over your head that this and that random problem need to be done by next Monday.>you do not fall into the generation who grew up during covid.And?
Is this true?
>>16567311There's not a single sentence that is even directionally true in that entire pseud soliloquy.
I am not a big fan of the analogy between ANN "neurons" and biological neurons. They function very differently and it in some way mysticizes ANNs.Because brain neurons and ANNs work differently drawing a comparison like in the OP is a fools errand.
>>16567318It's the same thing with "attention". It gets redditors excited like "omg it's conscious!". We don't even know what human attention is, but we can be pretty sure it isn't a dot product. We know more about how neurons work, which is enough to say they hardly resemble artificial neurons.
Yes, it's true. I was the one who posted it.
Yesterday's breakthrough was AI, today's breakthrough they produced oxygen in space! Everyone say, Thank you China!
>>16565205My bad. It works well for hydrolox systems because it produces the heavier half of the bipropellant.
>>16563595They did it on chinese equipment, that's what's commendable about this.
>>16563296There is no discovery, no technological breakthrough, no vague fucking concept that China will not shamelessly lie and claim it came up with before anybody else.
>>16563440>>16563443>>16563426shut the fuck up nigger.

Ethically speaking are alien bacteria more or less valuable than humans?
>>16564458>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oikophobia>Oikophobia (Greek: oîkos, 'house, household' + phóbos, 'fear'; related to domatophobia and ecophobia[1]) is an aversion to a home environment, or an abnormal fear (phobia) of one's home[2] and also a tendency to criticize or reject one's own culture and praise other cultures.[3] how come xenophobia is constantly talked about in the media and it's opposite mental condition is never mentioned?
Libtards having a meltie itt lul
>>16564808this thread only upsets you because you feel that the data in OP reflects poorly on yourself, you would not have been emotionally triggered had that not been the case
>>16563132more valuable than CHUDS obviously

Is there a way to improve general cognitive abilities? I am by no means stupid but if there are protocols to increase my intelligence I would love to try and see what is possibleAny books/papers on this matter?
>>16567195since intelligence is how fast you can solve sudokus, you just have to solve more sudokusor, to generalize ad absurdum:if you wanna become better at thinking, think more
>>16567195you cannot

whats the deal with water?hydrogen flammable.oxygen flammable.why water not?
>>16567088I see you've never visited flint Michigan
>why is product of combustion not flammablehmmm
>>16567231>burning creates waterthen how come california kept burning down?
>>16567273Because it doesn't create a lot of water and it's in the form of vapor.
>>16567088Already flammed.
Big changes coming to NASA, does this mean they'll eventually be able to compete with SpaceX in terms of launch capability? If so, how long will it take for NASA to get there?
>>16563011>NASA is a general contractorWow no way!
>>16564547i see you're not familiar with the engineering process
>>16565779I see you're not familiar with what the word "build" means. SpaceX builds rockets. NASA doesn't and never has. NASA does not compete with SpaceX.
>>16565800NASA built rockets in the 60s and now they are no longer capable of doing so cause its just women and other affirmative action hires instead of epic nazis like it was back in the 60s
>>16567171>NASA built rockets in the 60They literally did not. They participated in design processes but did not build rockets.
