There has been quite a lot written about Chinese talent programs, which are quite diverse and take on many forms. Some are more conventional and encourage exchange students to visit their country and attend their universities. Others involve pilfering research yet in-progres, others involve theft of trade secrets or convincing persons to betray either State or Trade secrets. An important facet of Bureau 18's process is the use of open-source information in order to find new leads, much as salesmen look for business leads.Anerican talent recruitment efforts, to the extent that there are any, are centered upon universities. University professors double as recruiters for a variety of agencies both public and private. A university professor in the United States can make as much as $3,500/month in addition to their university salary to recruit for the CIA and for other government agencies.However, I looked into it and there's no government program in the U.S. in which a person might be tracked down after public-domaining a clever invention or anonymously sharing a solution to a difficult problem. The idea that the most competent candidates for jobs will be found at universities when no one can afford to attend them is absurd. Why restrict the search to universities?Similarly, the Patent Office cannot be used as the sole instrument for monitoring for innovations considering the $10,000 average cost of a patent and the potential for imprisonment of anyone who files for patent protection for any military-applicable invention.In a developing story, a Pennsylvania inventor announced that 567 inventions and other writings were in the public domain and had been in Russian hands for at least two years (Chinese hands, perhaps, for longer.) When the government was told about this, do you think they leapt into action or do you think they ignored it?5 October, 8 October and 13 November 2025.https://mega.nz/folder/YE5RzaRK#FqKLdtp5sdwxYr_7A37mew

>>16905910>incredible job of identifying and recruitingI'm not seeing it, chief>university trains and assesses talent>student loan debt is a great recruiterMy guess is fintech probably lets the pile of money do the work and they actually do comparatively little value added in quality control relative to other professions.

>>16905336american public schools have the gifted and talented / Advanced Placement program. private education in America still uses Advanded Placement classes but also uses the IB system. and if you are really smart you will get recruited to private systems run by universities. i got recruited and didn't go, and you should have seen 12 year olds running around your university.it exists, you are just too dumb to have ever come across it.

Battery life isn't very good compared to humans. Computers are less efficient than the human brain. Robots tire out faster than humans at athletic tasks because motors are prone to overheating.

In a distant hypothetical future where galaxy colonization is achieved, what is the next frontier? Are we stuck where we are till the heat death of the universe?
Seed ships are possible
>>16907499Andromeda is going to collide with is in the far future, so technically another galaxy will come to us
nothing can move c+ okay, it's robotic colonization in lieu of humans, ego-free 100% doable
>>16907499i think from some youtube video a dude told that people will put their brains inside a giant dyson sphere around stars.so if the procreate narrative will still exist (more of humans = good), then continued galaxies colonizations will lead to a giant hyper mind of interconnected human brains.hyper mind = a very close approximation to an omniscient being. maybe the next frontier will be literally creating a universe?although this hypothesis stands on "human brains inside a dyson sphere". maybe AI controlled von neumann probes will colonize galaxies, so the next natural step - superclusters and beyond (multiverse, if exists).

AI once again, btfo>Can you guess what's wrong with the "pdf" I ask it about
>>16910248That's not true, we don't have oil spill threads anymore.
You're pdf is not non-negative. If you feed bullshit into a computer than you get bullshit out.
>>16910223Well, for one it's not normalized, but that's pretty straightforward to fix. It's a compactly supported polynomial, so it's one scalar division away from being a pdf.
>>16910482That is also a good point. I caught the normalization, but I missed the failure to be non-negative. Math late at night, not even once.
I dunno, dude, for me it figures it out during the kurtosis calculation: https://chatgpt.com/share/698d597d-1ea0-8006-a5ca-479352009823Extended thinkingIn the thinking trace I saw it calculating the kurtosis, then rechecking the result using different calculation, then checking the validity of the PDF. After it realized it's invalid, it dealt with it as best it could. Just like any person would do.Admit it. It's over.

An extremely large telescope called the ELT (Extremely Large Telescope) is currently being built in Chile. But I just read that the James Webb space telescope was as much as six times as expensive as the ELT. (10 billion dollars for James Webb and 1/6 of that for the ELT).Why not just skip some of those projects and instead use all the combined 11,5 billion dollars or whatever to build just one super sized telescope? One larger telescope can take better pictures than a hundred smaller ones anyways.
A cool picture from under the beast.>>16907134Says Lord Rayleigh.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_resolution#The_Rayleigh_criterionThe angular resolution of a telescope is limited by the size of the aperture. Adding together data from smaller ones doesn't increase the resolution. Not without interferometery, which is very complicated, and limited. Before adaptive optics, the atmosphere limited the resolution of ground based telescopes, so the only reason to go bigger was to increase the signal. But AO can let ground based telescopes reach the physical diffraction limit, with some limitations. It also means you can see fainter objects, which scales with the diameter to the fourth power for star-like objects.>>16907035It is the successor of the Very Large Telescope, the VLT. Much loved by astronomers. Thankfully it's European, so it's not named after some dead senator.
>>16907427
Even if all pools of money could be combined to produce one ultimate telescope, it's still better to have multiple different ones because a telescope can only look at one place at a time. You don't want EVERYONE waiting in line for a chunk of JWST time that's so short they can barely do anything with it
Make it bigger.
>>16906847>Why not just skip some of those projectsa substantial amount of the money is just spent to keep businesses in business, and to secretly develop new technology and build new satellites/space scopes. Its all a big money spending black budget operation at 50x the cost. Just think how much progress humans could have made if the money was spent properly.
I need the very cheapest electrically charged lighter possible. Key things needed:>The versatility of a flame>Electric so fuel is free>Non-arc lighterd because the arc breaks in a matter of months>Able to withstand heavy breezes>Quick to heat up>Doesnt matter the time of day I can use it.>Idc if it retains the heatI dont care what it is. I dont even care if it isnt a lighter and instead an industrial tool. The best thing I can think of is a device with a handle that heats up a metal rod to the point where if I place somehing against it, it combusts. Like a sort of wand.
>>16910634>a flame>Electric>Non-arcI want warm ice. Piping hot, but hard like ice, and made up of only water.I dont care how, just figure it out and give to me for free.
>>16910640I thought I wrote plasma arcs. The plasma arc lighters break.
>>16910642Pick two, or you pick none.
Farpoint lighter
>>16910634I was going for the same thing recently. Couldn't find an electric lighter that would have enough arc energy for a cone. Then I threw them out because the lithium was causing a spin disruption near my face and was reported as being bad.I just settled on high-quality, filtered, high-altitude butane with a few types of jet lighters.
>losing the estrogen drip feed(menopause) makes women higher iqWhat does this mean for society?
>>16910783What if contrary to what society is trying to enforce, people were supposed to breed when hormones are making them dumb?
>>16910783I remember reading a study on the brain changes that troons undergo when taking hormone therapy. After a quick search, found it again.>Estradiol plus antiandrogen produced a decrease in brain volume “towards female proportions” after 4 months of treatment, a decrease they found to be ten times the average annual decrease in healthy adults. Moreover, the ventricles became larger.>In relation to FtMs after testosterone treatment, Hulshoff Pol et al. (2006) reported that 4 months of androgen treatment increased total brain and hypothalamus volumes. Moreover, Zubiarre-Elorza et al. (2014) reported that total (cortical + subcortical) gray matter volume increased after at least 6 months of treatment. With respect to subcortical structures, the right thalamus volume was increased.Estrogen literally makes you dumber, so it is no surprise that lower levels of it helps.

anybody here ever failed in academia in the full sense of the word? how did life play out after? so to keep it brief, last year I got a spot into the top university in my country (somewhere in the top 100 globally I dont know the exact place) for a math degree that I was simply not good enough for, thus I dropped out since it was also out of state and was paying a shit load in rent; Im currently a wagie and feel nothing but the most consuming bleakness; I should add that im very old for university at 27, plus I also went into this fancy highschool so nearly all of my friends have established careers by now and a lot of them are starting their phds, meanwhile im just back to square one while also being broke af; I dont know how to put it I just feel like now that I fucked up the best and only chance I got there is no more room for hope left, not because I will die of poverty but rather than I will not live up to my or anybodies expectations or be equal to my friends in terms of achievements, safe to say my family sees me as this massive fuck up; I know stories like these come a dime a dozen but still I was just wondering how it played out for those that have already gone through this, with honesty if possible
>>16910524I mean, congrats on at least getting a decent job.>I feel like a failure in many ways. I will not achieve my childhood dream of being a scientistanon... many, MANY of us wanted that and ended up doing whatever. some of us had better luck, some (like the OP and you) kept their academia = success mentality.like >>16910334 said, in capitalism (and I'd bet that would happen not only under capitalism), corporations value actual knowledge, skills and experience. and, I mean, who in their right mind would risk their own money on academic shit if they didn't get actual tangible results? only institutions that are financed by states have money to research random shit. and, from what I've read, working for the state fucking SUCKS, so you might have ended up dodging a bullet.
>>16910543Thank you for your wisdom and kindness. During my PhD attempt I worked on strange topics that have minimal industrial application, but were fascinating to me. I had exposure to government research labs and the lifestyle of the researchers there definitely sucked. The researchers were all driven by scientific interest, and possibly by career inertia. (What would they do if they left? Extremely niche topics don't translate well to industry work. Parts of it would be applicable to some organizations, but elaborating would certainly doxx myself.)

There's something I can't wrap my head around and that is how can intelligence be selected for overall?Lets say you have 2 separate populations. One is a bit smarter than the other. There's no convincing reason why the smarter one should actually outbreed the dumber one. A dumber animal generally breeds more so there's no reason the dumber population shouldn't just overtake the smarter one eventually.
>>16910622And yet it is true. Intelligence is more than academic skills; it includes charisma, social abilities, the ability to deftly navigate social relationships in a group, and politics. Among humans, politics in particular is very much part of evolutionary success, and what gets you the best meat and the most women, and it's part of a person's intelligence. It is no coincidence that the most intelligent species are all highly social animals.
>>16910629>yet it is trueIn that case, I conclude you're severely retarded, since you're not getting any pussy, not managing any collective resources, not getting a say about anything more than the average nigger. In fact, you have less of a say than the average nigger. You certainly have less of a say than the lukewarm-intellect submidwits that govern you or the average IQ capitalists that actually own everything you think you own.
>>16910636The (((group))) that owns everything in US has on average higher IQ than general US population.They evolved to control you.
>>16910641The fact that your rectal parasites are indeed smarter than you doesn't refute anything I wrote. Either way, I don't even consider Americans to be human so I don't believe observations about American "society" are valid in the context of discussions about actual people.

>>16910065This. People cannot grok the difference between the group and the individual. It's the same as how people cannot grok statistics, and so get lied to very easily.
>>16910065>if they did become convinced of it they wouldn't behave rationally or ethically with the informationThe rational and ethical way to "behave" with this information is to promote peaceful and mutually respectful segregation, for the benefit of both parties. :^)
>>16910604The is no relevant difference on the societal level because outcomes are determined by collective aggregates rather than individual exceptions.
