Can /sci/ help me with a problem. I understand and got correct question 2 but question 3 I would have guessed 50kg. I would have thought that due to the rope being pulled in the same direction as the load it becomes a supporting rope, therefore 300/6 rather than 300/5 to get 50kg of equivalent force to lift the weight. Can anyone help explain why the answer is 60kg?

Negligible when the ropes are sufficiently vertical and the pulleys are further than one wheel diameter away.

According to mainstream scientists. Not even these people (who have lived isolated and inbred for 60,000 years) are "pure". No one is pure. Race isn't allowed to exist. Ever. People's ancestry doesn't cluster "discretely enough" by their standards and never will.

Biologically speaking, why is homosexuality not considered an abnormality in the world of science? The purpose of a man and a woman is for reproduction. We have special body parts that are made for that, so how is it then for two people of the same gender to be attracted together and not considered an abnormality?? It's so obvious yet the world of science simply ignores it. How is this abnormality accepted without any sort of defiance in the scientific community? Also, what's truly the percentage of people who are homosexuals (including women) only because of something wrong with them physically and not because of social trends?

It has nothing to do with biology, everything with politics. We have one world government to change the consensus on a dime. Everywhere it was classed as a mental illness until it suddenly was not.

hello, tranny here.
I never watched tranny porn when I was a teenager. I wanted to be a girl since I was 7, many years before I discovered sexuality at all. I didn't know boys could turn into girls, I didn't know boys could like other boys or girls could like other girls, either.
I didn't transition to rebel against society, or my parents, or christianity, or because I have AGP (even though I think there's literally nothing wrong with finding yourself sexy because cis men and cis women find themselves sexy all the time).
I transitioned because being a boy was unsatisfying to me.
>>
>>16971200
Trannies are largely grouped in those that get off from viewing themselves as women (autogynephiles), and those that were originally more like gay men and more feminine by nature (homosexual transexual).
For those into tranny porn i would imagine AGPs represent the ones who want to be the tranny. And bisexual men are the ones who want to fuck the tranny,

Imagine an alien civilization just evolving and popping into existence in sufficiently close proximity to a black hole that they have enough time to develop basic culture, some complexity etc and they generally understand that they're all fucked in the short term and that there was never anything that they could do about it and toward the end they get good enough at physics to see that yep, they're truly fucked.

What ever dude, like if you don't know basic argument principles. I ain't going to waste my time explaining them to you. either attack the points or not. literal anyone could say something isn't relevant regardless of whether or not it is, it's just the equivalent of saying "nuh uh".

>To go beyond this triviality, you'd have to define a new ad hoc "computational model" that describes a class of mathematically analogous systems.
i don't see how that goes beyond triviality. why call it "computation" at all if what you really mean is just the thing's actual physical, existence?
>>
>>16976698
Because you have a mathematical description with some quantifiable "output" and the "computer" implements processes which produce that "output".
>>
>>16976707
but that's pretty much the inverse of computation. instead of the physical state of a computer representing abstract quantities you have abstract quantities representing the physical state of the supposed computer.

They can produce training data just fine, it just won't necessarily reflect the real world data they are seeking to make predictions about, so there is not much utility in the data, just like chatbots can hallucinate, its just not useful in the jobs they are trying to make the chatbots do.

Its a strange beast, whether its useful or not i think will be how it fares doing r1cs formulations. it came from resolving the logical inconsistency with the negative box math with a balanced trinary structure. This was motivates as modeling the continnum through not the empty set the infinite nothingness . It can climb the natural hierarcy of numbers so two natural numbers can be donuted into a polynumber with a certain domain and range based on the two numbers

Entropy is about typicality. Typical configurations outweigh atypical configurations at an exponential rate as the size of the system increases.

In physics this matters because of chaotic systems. Like stirring tea and milk together. Mixed configurations significantly outweigh unmixed configurations. The chance of the tea spontaneously unmixing is astronomical.

On a cosmic scale, practically valuable work is necessarily entropy increasing. Negative entropy is a non-renewable resource. You can't extract work from ambient heat.
