I've been studying Linear Algebra and Matrices for fucking years now but I honestly understand absolutely nothing thanks to my mental disability. What's the best textbook that teaches all the concepts with real-life examples and their implementation?>inb4 just give upI can't give up, I need this job.As many solved examples as possible. Thanks.I need to solve the questions pen and paper so no coding shit.

>>16847356I had a kind of shitty undergrad (physics and math) where my intuition for lin alg was built around its applications in quantum. I found Axler most helpful for uniting the ideas I encountered in group theory and analysis with that intuition, but it really is a book you should understand sooner rather than later.I did find Axler to be among the easiest books I've read through, though.What exactly are you struggling with?

>>16861090I'm on permanent full disability and I never worked a day in my life. I guess according to your retarded moral framework, that means I'm being paid for my "productive contributions", whatever you're about to tell me those are (you're wrong, I don't do jack shit, I just play video games and hang out in discord calls all day). And I do not live in poverty either. I have everything I could ever want and I'm very comfortable.Your argument is invalid.
>>16860293Or just developing the ability to plan for the future and save instead of buying expensive sneakers and candy
Anyone able to stay rich regardless of whether they inherited, won it by lottery or worked hard for it for any meaningful amount of time inherited the right genes for survival, personality traits are just a nice way of making everyone believe that their behaviours can be changed to fit their desires, and that hierarchies are unnatural, any other argument is cope by poor unproductive people-- and i don't mean not hardworking, but doing work that reaps meaningful rewards. And this is also not to say that people who are not rich did not also inherit good genes, but if you find yourself struggling relative to the next average person, then you might want to ask yourself whether the reason you are always bitter has to do with anyone else.
>>16861097>And everything is fair becauseYou are indian
I don't understand why reality exists. Why this planet exists, why the sun exists, and why this vast void and galaxy exists. and why the universe even exists. Why is there even anything? Why do I even exist? It doesn't make sense to me.
>>16859669This. I just imagine thqt for a long "time" nothing existed but the probability of something existing grew over "time" and suddenly everything came into being, because nothingness couldnt resist anymore.
>>16861480Nothing and Something always coexist, x=x+0 for all x.
>>16859625This is also consistent with what we've learned about statistical mechanics over the last 30 years. The fluctuation theorem that comes out of a statistical treatment of the 2nd Law implies that even in systems already in a state of maximum entropy, there is a chance (albeit small) of the system moving to a lower entropy state on time and length scales that are small relative to the system. We see this happen in molecular physics and dusty plasmas all the time - spontaneous self-organization of systems into more ordered states, even very complex ordered states.If the time and length scales of your system are effectively infinite, the probability of a highly structured region a few hundred billion light years across lasting for a few hundred billion years before returning to statistical equilibrium is reasonably plausible.

>>16857077A lot of uncs itt feel uncomfortable about this, but it's not a bad thing. Only kids and adolescents have potential. By the time you're in your early 30s, you need to turn that potential into something tangible. You can't just infinitely farm potential and then turtle your way through the rest of your life. You can stop farming now and progress instead. You'll be fine.

>>16861450Soon as you leave the realm of the "biobot", you're no longer part of the solution.
>>16861461Just like him, you misunderstand what's meant by 'relative' vs. 'absolute'. Relative truths boil down to statements about the interrelations between concepts/forms/objects/things that are only conceivable and perceivable relative to each other. Such truths are only meaningful in the context of that whole network of concepts and relationships. They cannot transcend it. But these are the truths that underlie a normal human's sense of everyday reality and make it feel substantial. The "substance" is only semantic but it's mistakenly reified. Absolute truth is a direct, nonconceptual realization of this, to the degree that basic sense-making stops and yet there's a comprehension that what's left isn't quite nothing.
>>16861469>Soon as you leave the realm of the "biobot", you're no longer part of the solution.I accept your admission that the Westeroon corruption of Eastern Philosophy is just Western nihilism repackaged for a population sick and tired of nihilism.

“My parents are 169 cm (5'5'') and 154 cm (5'0'') tall, and I’m 175 cm (5'7''). My siblings are 164 cm (older brother) and about 159 cm (younger sister). I’m wondering about this because, out of the three of us, I had the worst circumstances growing up: I was born premature (at 7.5 months) and almost died, and during childhood I didn’t eat much in comparison with my siblings.Of course, its not that i'm 6'0 tall or something like that, but its still quite a difference.

>Genie 3 from Google is able to simulate entire worlds from just a promptWhy is nobody talking about this? This is undoubtedly the best proof that this is a simulated reality and this is just getting started. According to the Bostrom hypothesis/trilemma> A) civilizations fail before they are able to create simulations>B) Post human civilizations might not be interested in running simulations >C) We are most likely in a simulation Given that A and B are evidently false since we are already simualting worlds, video games, etc the odds that we are living inside a simulation are almost a 100%
just because something starts to point to itself. or something like that, doesn't mean anything. I mean, that's just kinda circular reasoning. However that doesn't make it wrong either. Mitchell Heisman, the guy who shot himself, said we are going to invent god or whatever, that god is ai or whatever. IDK.But you know a lot of people in the 90s thought they were super smart and were coming up with unique ideas bc there wasn't much internet to see other people saying the same thing. So being in a simulation is well a super played out idea. It's so played out if it were true, okay.
>>16858967that's a load of fucking horseshit

>>16858967we're inside a drug-induced simulation and the jews ran off with the antidotehttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MPHyR92MQic
>>16858987I'd argue that the 'simulation' is actually simulating the hardware that is running on. Its a recurring loop of simulation, something like a simulation mobius strip. There isn't a simulation within a simulation, its two sides of the same reality simulating each other.
Hello from Russia. There is such a question. I always thought that an inheritance of son (me) depends on the blood of the father and the blood of the mother. However, here is my example. I grew taller than my father and than my mother. I did that twentieth-century German anthropologists loved to do, I measured the circumference of the skulls, or to be more correct, the circumference of the heads of my mother, my father, and me, because they were alive during the measurements. Mother's head circumference: 55.5 cm. I was measuring the circumference of my father's head. To my sadness, I can't find this information in my files right now, and my father died, but his head's circumference was significantly smaller than mine. I'm their son, and my head circumference is 59 centimeters. How does science explain this? The food was usual, nothing special. I studied at a technical school and an institute, and I did not like the quality of the education in the institute, they taught better at the technical school. How does it turn out, figuratively speaking, that in mathematics 2+2=4, but in biology, 2+2=5.3?
An hour north of NYC .. is New Rochelle really that far north???
>>16860422You should have measured the neighbor as well, Boris.
>>16860424This option is unlikely. The facial features, the shape of the nose, the color of the eyes, the color of the mustache leave no doubt about who my father is. Perhaps some epigenetic factor worked and gave this result, but I don't know exactly what it was. Could an art school have contributed to this? I studied at an art school in childhood and adolescence.
I'm not an anthropologist or a biologist, and I think that drawing develops fine motor skills of the hands, develops the brain, and hypothetically it can contribute to the growth of the skull, to the growth of the head.
>>16860422>The food was usual, nothing special. I studied at a technical school and an institute, and I did not like the quality of the education in the institute, they taught better at the technical school. How does it turn out, figuratively speaking, that in mathematics 2+2=4, but in biology, 2+2=5.3?So a couple of things. I hope you see that ruling out environmental factors, like diet, cannot be done simply. You don't know if your diet was higher in some critical nutrient that your parents were slightly deficient in. Or one of any other number of possible environmental factors. But aside from environmental factors.Remember: genetics is not simply linear algebra. You inherited 50% of your father's genes and 50% of your mother's genes. But which ones you got from each is random. How different alleles interact with one another is extremely complex and not well studied. So in the simplest terms: it's likely your mother and father had heterozygous mixes of alleles coding for height, and you happened to get slightly more of the alleles for larger size than smaller. It's also possible you got some 'combo' genes that when combined, give you a larger size.
I don't understand how you can study this shit when there are so many massive implications and there is no actual decision on what it all means. Everyone likes the Copenhagen interpretation because it's basic and makes the engineers happy, but it does fuck all to actually explain what's going on. It doesn't bother to properly address the measurement problem. The many-worlds hypothesis gets rid of collapse and measurement entirely, but leads to implications which make no sense. The fact that there's a disconnect between science (classical physics) and mathematics (quantum mechanics) and still no proper answer is infuriating. We're being told that centuries of science doesn't exactly check out anymore at the fundamental level, but there's still no decision on what this means at the fundamental philosophical level. It's legitimately a joke just how juvenile some of this shit is because the scientific community won't come to a decision on what's actually going on. All that I can conclude is that math is purely concerned with dealing with potential things rather than actual things. If you apply QM at the universal level, it mathematically checks out, but it gives you a universe where everything happens. That does not correspond with us having a single intelligible universe. So it seems that math is fundamentally about predicting the future, and so a universe of only math is a universe where everything exists, so that anything can be properly expressed even if it never actually happens.
>>16860726It tracks the evolution of a completely unphysical quantity. It'd be like assigning a whole field of interpretations and philosophies surrounding the magnetic potential used in electrodynamics. It's ridiculous on its face. Yet when it comes to qm, people somehow believe it's a worth wasting years to discuss these interpretations. >>16860861Frequentist. Though I'd have to think more about how individual electrons can have knowledge of the probability function. Nonetheless it's better than Bayesian faggotry.
