If amphetamines give dopamine. And dopamine makes you happy. Why not just give all depressed people adderall and fix the whole thing?

That’s not necessarily how it works. When I was taking adderall that was prescribed I had no feelings about anything. Mostly just didn’t care. Just did thing because I was supposed to.

Depression comes from not doing the things you’re supposed to do. Like working. Socializing. Not getting into trouble that causes problems for you etc.

They do, in very specific short-term cases where the depression is preventing patients from engaging in care. It's out of favour atm as a first-line treatment because the anti-depressant effect requires escalating doses and is habit forming

What has AI done? Absolutely nothing. Those theorem provers are used to solve some of the hardest conjectures in math. You're like the student who gets filtered by calculus because "they will never actually use it" when calculus is ubiquitous in modern engineering.
>>
>>16947097
First prove that [math]a*a^{-1}=1[/math] (presumably that's the next exercise anyway). Your theorem then follows by right-multiplying with [math]a[/math].
Now consider the two ways to compute [math]a^{-2}*a^{-1}*a[/math] and see if you can once again right-multiply the result by something to conclude.

You can technically unroll this proof and directly prove your theorem with one large equational proof (which essentially boils down to rewriting one big composite of five terms), but this should be conceptually clearer.

I'm using openclaw for research and its actually free.
The thing I find interesting is how openclaw can do so many things while you sleep. It can even test it and shit.
You have to specify the datasets, the goals and it will do the rest. And its working.
Why are people rejecting LLMs and AI agents for things like this?
I know people who still manually do machine learning, they can't even install cline, claude code or codex and use that.

Could a 16 year old who has an iq around 160-200 and studies 16-20 hours of math everyday achieve a math knowledge similar to Sidis,Ramanujan or Gauss? Not considering the physical/mental risks.

A teenager who reads Wikipedia knows more than Gauss they just can’t apply it like he could. We have infinite knowledge at our fingertips, gauss had to go find and read books he had to hope he was lucky enough to find in his own language.

The ability to invent math is more important than knowledge. See Grothendieck's success. You should try to become an IMO medalist. IMO problems require almost no prior knowledge and will help put you in the right frame of mind to "discover" math from ignorance

I think people are just blindly optimistic about technology advancement. Because it has advanced in the past so people assume it will get better. Which is fair to assume but also incorrect.

There’s also storytelling and narrative that has been going on for thousands of years. Like when they say we will colonize other planets. It’s just an ambitious goal that we strive for. Because we humans crave exploration and adventure.

But the reality is we are probably going nowhere but staying on earth because space.. cannot support life and the high energy waves and forces that shoot across space would likely destroy dna and cellular chemistry.

There’s limits to what we can do we aren’t god.

We have the tech to reach 1% now, but not the money or the will. That's 400 years one way. It's a bit much. If enough money were poured jnto research we could get to 5%. That's 80 years. It's manageable. The second generation would reach Alpha Centauri in their 60s. The third will be 40s and younger. We can expand across the galaxy with thoae numbers asing as the nearest star to your departure point is one lifetime away.

tl;dr: we can, but we won't, because jews want to fuck kids instead of colonizing the universe.

May there be mercy on man and machine for their sins.

Are biological guns possible? Could an animal evolve one as a specialised organ or collection of organs? Could sufficiently skilled geneticists and synthetic biologists create one in a lab, if not today in the future? What would the capabilities of a biogun be? I'd imagine some organ that shoots venomous spines or sharp pellets of bone or something like that at a hundred meters a second or so via muscle contractions or biological propellants like bombadier beetles have is something that could work.

Most of it's a scaling and respiratory issue. You could in theory scale up a pistol shrimp to lobster size (the largest lobster on record was nearly 3 feet long uncooked) reinforce the shell and throw in some coconut crab DNA. Now imagine you could boost the oxygen efficiency and get it up to eurypterid size. (max 6 feet)

I think if you had maximum advanced genetic engineering you could get organisms to assemble you a fully operational car…I don’t think a gun would be that hard. Thats provably like end game bio tech levels of advancement tho.

When I passed the entering engineering maths and physics exams, I went to the website to check which engineering program I’d be starting (Electrical). But I accidentally clicked on two programs because I had an ad blocker antiglowies that sometimes messed with websites, so instead of selecting one, I ended up picking both Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.

I didn’t realize this until my first day at university, when the coordinator (or whatever this bald nigger is called) saw my name on both lists. He asked if it was a mistake. Because of the 'tism, I didn’t know how to say no, and he got really excited, so I just went along with it.

In the end, they put me in both morning and night classes.

What am I in for?

Obviously but you don't need to go that far, an autoclave on ~130°C would be enough (or better yet, 150°C if it can handle the pressure.)
