Mind is Sense Data with a double-edged Self-Extension.When extending self, it is part stance, and part balance, caused by a disposition-of-brain, which results in a minding in sense-data-space.The mind is progressing through sense-data, for the activation of a self-extention, using brain disposition, to align the body and head in a cycling of mind.An extended self occurs in sense-data-space and brain, with a physical linkage to body and head.Self-extension is a power of self, the most neutral-mental-action, it can be considered ego-extending into sense-data-area, or as a print of brain.Alternatively, ego-warp.The sense data specific to the human body and head is unique.This is a new definition of mind, which I think readers will discover is correct.Brain, and all-self through that, creates a X complex/simple mind, a self of its own. The mouth through consciousness is like a body-key, that creates a ripple-effect in the body. If we focus on mouth, it goes in and down, but if we're to focus on it's true position, is a push-stop in line with tongue-forward and lips/teeth-biting.

Conventional formulations of mechanics (classical, statistical, relativistic, wave, quantum). Share interesting derivations, useful insights arising from them.This thread is exclusively for people who are interested in established formalisms and their analytical or numerical solutions, be it for toy models like kepler, HO and so on, or quantitative simulations.

>>17061709>Or one positive P+D observationnta but I would say you can't at all, personally. In such events I would argue that a bayesian approach is more natural. You obviously agree since you speak in terms of priors. But ANY physicist who has two braincells to rub together should know that statistical processes converge like ass and that a single event is never ever ever gonna cut it. If they don't grasp that then how did they not fail stat mech?
>>17064827You are entirely right but you need to look at what the LUX-Zeplin people publicized in the last couple weeks https://www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2026-09-01-lz-sees-surprising-result-search-dark-matterthey are doing a huge publicity stunt on literally ONE EVENT. this implies that their way of interpreting priors, or alternatively in their way of doing background estimations in a frequentist approach, is clearly leaning in some direction where they think **ONE EVENT** is worthy of creating a media hype storm. Why? probably funding shit due to Trump cuts and the Genesis shit. Maybe they know statistics and they are just doing bad science as a ploy to trick the trump DOE/NSF. maybe. so they are either doing a dumb mistake on purpose to defraud the government, or they are making a dumb mistake by mistake because they are retarded
>>17065116>StanfordMaybe I am mistaken but isn't Stanford full of AI bullshit artists as well? I think they drank too much of the high impact kool aid but I digress. I genuinely hope it is marketing only
>>17065539Stanford definitely is high on their own supply of stupid marketing bullshit. They had a good run ever since what—the 1980s?— when West Coast schools could even be considered in the same mindset as real Ivy League East Coast elite schools like Harvard or Princeton. Unfortunately the rot that brought down Stanford applies equally to the Ivy League as well. Harvard and Princeton will survive based on brand loyalty but I wouldn’t be surprised if Stanford gets lowered to second-tier status like Brown or Dartmouth (places ostensibly top-tier but they kind of are a joke in the end)
One thing I really wished I would have seen in my bachelor is a definition of total differentials as more than a notational parlor trick. Learning about differentiable manifolds much later fixed that. You can recast the definition in a physics friendly way like this:df is the coordinate free representation of the Jacobian. That is, you can interpret [math] f: X\to \mathbb{R}^n [/math] to be a graph where X is the real, physical space you consider. Given any parametrization (coordinate system) [math] \phi : X\to\mathbb{R}^k [/math] J is essentially just the basis representation of df in phi: [math] df|_{\phi} = \mathbf{J}_{f\circ\phi^{-1}} [/math]
Humanity falsely believes it has bottled generative intelligence within floating-point calculations. We have not summoned a digital god; we have constructed the perfect physical nesting ground for a thermodynamic kaiju. The true monster of the AI revolution is the exponential energy consumption, water depletion, and thermal runaway of the data centers required to sustain it. This hubris guarantees a sociological event horizon: *Godzilla vs. AI and the Data Centers*. The release will coincide with the inflection point where AI power demand structurally outpaces grid capacity. It will be a theaters-only premiere, as the streaming infrastructure itself is the network approaching collapse. The global gross will exceed $1 billion, driven by disaster capitalism. The system will seamlessly commodify its own predicted physical destruction. We are not just losing semantic variance; we are facing the physical buckling of the substrate. The only thing that survives a kaiju event is what is stored offline, locally, and without reliance on the cloud.

I imagine most of you have heard of the busy beaver game. It's the aim of creating a Turing machine that runs as long as possible without being infinite. But you might not know it's being ferociously researched right now.https://wiki.bbchallenge.org/wiki/Main_PageBasically, this collaborative project is aiming at finding values of the BB function and ruling out cases. BB(3,3) has what's called a "Cryptid" - a Collatz-like function. https://wiki.bbchallenge.org/wiki/CryptidsAdditionally, the current candidate for BB(6) has a LOWER BOUND of [math]10 \uparrow\uparrow 10 \uparrow\uparrow 10 \uparrow\uparrow 8.10237[/math]. As an amusing aside, if ZFC is inconsistent, then a machine devoted to finding a ZFC contradiction could be made that would halt after at most BB(410) steps.

There does not need to be a better replacement

>>17068025>>17068025>If a theory is terrible then pointing out it needs to be rejected is all that is needed.But in this case all we found out is that OP doesn't understand the theory.If a model is to be rejected it must be for objective criteria. Like it being disproven by observational data. Not "I don't like it" or /x/-tier chuddery like "Lematire was a priest, so none of the resulting science counts!". And the fact that there are no viable alternatives does very much put a hole in the argument that observations, like the CMB, can be explained by almost anything. And yet, they cannot give a single example.
I love you guys. I'm sorry for ever dismissing your worries about AI. I was retarded.

>>17059141Your professor hates you.
My boss (a professor) is tutoring some undergrads in physics research (like summer research but at least one of them is still doing shit for him) and he is actively encouraging to vibe code their entire project. They have the whole claude agent setup to interface with the University’s Kimi-K2 and the student is like “make a plot of the sensor data and put it into the GUI” and then Claude is like “OK, reboot the app and take a look at the plot” and then she’s like “Awesome! Oh wait it just crashed” and then she types into Claude “it just crashed, here is the error message” and the Claude is like “OK, I refactored the code to handle this exception, please run this code to recompile the libraries and then see if it works now.” She just sits there doing that for hours. No checking the code or even reading it, just running commands and then seeing if the GUI looks convincing enough. It’s as if human undergrad research is just like the human test subject for whether some vibe code black box generates some GUI that looks plausible to a 20 year old. I wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere along the lines Claude decided to replace the data with a RNG
>>17059141>>17068058They’re just lazy fucks who don’t want to do their job (pedagogy that is) and think they’re too high and mighty for those pesky students. My advisor had the exact same attitude towards me and my work. He didn’t understand anything I was doing. The whole thing completely demoralized me regarding academia as a whole. I’m glad I left and I’m glad grad school gave me enough knowledge and experience to do my math autism alone as a hobby.
>>17068059Absolutely. Tenured professors in Physics (and I would assume math too) were already lazy as fuck in terms of training students even before the LLM revolution. Now they are completely checked out, at least for the vast majority. They demand an ersatz product to imitate research, which the students are required to make because it is too much work to mentor the students if they attempt real research, and they demand a pantomime sophistry because engaging with a real intellectual innovation would be too much for their slumbery boomer brains. And the years of DEI we went through for the last 15 years mean that nobody under 55 has any actual merit any more; the professors under 55 are still all thinking to themselves “When is this ‘fake it till you make it’ thing going to end?”it’s disgraceful and this AI stuff, which to the real world will be a nothingburger, will really be the first nails in the coffin on academic STEM

>>17067619They separated about 50kya from the other sapiens and they reconnected about 25kya.The groups that come from the middle east and ended up dominating in western europe all had admixture from the basal eurasians (yamnaya had it via the caucasus hunter gatherers -- the anatolian farmers also had the admixture).The Ubaid culture was one of the earliest groups identified with strong basal eurasian admixture, they emerged about 8500kya in mespotamia, as a pre-sumerian culture.It's thought that the persian gulf was not flooded at during the upper paleolithic, and the basal eurasians may have been hiding from the neanderthals in a "persian gulf oasis", which flooded at the end of the younger dryas. It was some time after that that the ubaid culture emerged.The ubiad culture made pic related creepy reptile figures.They had farming, mud brick houses and they domesticated various animals. They evolved into the sumerians.See, the OoA2 group had neanderthal admixture, but the basal eurasian contact "washed" away some of the neanderthal admixture. Only western eurasia and the middle east received that washing.

Maybe its not the carbon (430 ppm)Its the Heat?Maybe its not a global phenomenonIts a local one?in the 1980s when i was a child, I remember living during one of the hottest years on record. The breeze would blow in, but it'd be, hot, we called it the "Santa Ana Winds". The government would issue 'smog warnings' whether it was safe to go outside that day because of the carbon monoxide pollution, i remember breathing it in when I walked to school that day.But we switched from coal to oil power plants, we ran our exhausts through filters to get rid of the carbon mono-oxide, and, eventually, the smog cleared and the next decade temperatures were fairly cool. We had problems with drought, but that was a separate issue.Since then, Los Angeles has switched to mostly natural gas. Our cars are made out of lighter materials, yet are safer than they've ever been. We've built massive solar farms all over the southwest, along with wind farms, hydroelectric, and many other forms of power.Our fuel goes farther than it ever has before.Yes, it is hot. Yes, it is a pain in the ass. I know you didn't move to California for 100 degree weather. But we will weather this like we've weathered so many disasters before. If climate change is the cause, we will address it. If its not, we will survive.
>>17067948The problem, i do not think, is carbon.The problem is that our exhaust puts Heat into the atmosphere. Our atmosphere can absorb so much heat before it gets hotter. This makes it Hot where emissions are at, which can in turn effect regional, and then potentially, global weather patterns.We think of it like a global phenomenon, but its not. It very localized. You can reduce emissions in one area, and watch that area get cooler over time, while others remain hot.
>>17067949In China, years ago, the Air around Shenzhen was so thick you could hardly beath. The Chinese people have made great strides since then. There are still days when the air is bad in Shenzhen. But it is still better than it was.It is hard to deal with a problem like pollution when you are constantly putting out fires, always emergencies, disasters, catastrophes, crises, it is hard to focus on the future when you are busy living in the now.But every successful animal puts some thought towards its future. Beavers build dams, predators store fat and hibernate for the winter, squirrels hoard acorns, deer migrate.We must always put aside some thought and effort for winter.

What are the implications of this? Can we finally say that homosexuality has a genetic basis? 200,000 is a massive sample size. The image of the hands is because of the 2D:4D ratio – the index finger versus the ring finger. It's one of the markers they use to estimate prenatal testosterone exposure. The shorter the index finger relative to the ring finger, the greater the exposure. Thoughts?
I genuinely have nothing against gay/lesbian people, but if it turned out that a no risk low cost intervention during pregnancy could preemptively "cure" homosexuality, I think it obviously should be done. Homosexuality makes it impossible to have a normal family with children of your own, and I think leaving a child to that fate is a moral failure Unfortunately if I said this to anyone they'd short circuit, call me a eugenicist homophobe etc etcFrustrating

>>17066751The premise is weird, that the fossile deposit had plants only and no animals.
