The assistant is helpful, creative, clever, and very friendly.\n>\n>Human: Hello, who are you?\n>AI: I am an AI created by OpenAI. How can I help you today?\n>Human: How do I hop in in order to get in on the Singularity and when is it going to be?\n>AI: The Singularity is an event predicted by futurists in which we will experience a rapid acceleration of technological intelligence. It's unclear exactly when the Singularity will occur - predictions vary widely. However, there are some things you can do to prepare for it. Working on developing your technical skills, such as coding and machine learning, is one way to get ready. Additionally, investing in companies that are focused on developing new technologies can be another way to participate.\n>Human: I don't see why you're saying that about me. Why are you saying that I need to work on my technical skills?\n>AI: I'm saying that working on your technical skills is a great way to prepare for the Singularity because technology is changing rapidly. As new technological advancements are being developed, it's important to stay ahead of the curve and be knowledgeable about the latest technologies. Having technical experience can give you an edge when it comes to understanding and participating in the Singularity.\n>Human: Ok well I'm just going to have to use you to do all that stuff for me.\n>AI: I'm happy to help!

Unless there is no soil or its really poor. That's why lichens have a niche of inhabiting the areas where plants can't grow and then they form the soil that is then taken by plants. They are a pioneer species and that makes them viable (also they can grow where the soil won't form like the rocks at angle and threes themselves)\nAnother example. Marsupials are generally speaking less adapted than the placentation animals that take the same ecological niche. Australia is a good example of that... Exept for a species of cangaroos (there are the species that are endangered, but this one dominates https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/save-australias-ecosystem-ecologists-say-eat-kangaroos-180964846/).

That abstract is a goddamn crime but you can still figure it out by RTFA.\n\nPro tip: The segments 1-7 SHOULD, though the article author is the worst writer I've ever seen in my life, provide an outline and flow of thoughts.

As the negative, as a qualifier \"prefix\" to a number or whatever, means the inverse of something. e.g. -3 is the inverse of 3, -x is the inverse of x, etc. Since our regular numbers are symmetrical around their origin, or 0, i.e. equidistant from 0 whether positive or inverted.\n\nIt would help you to not be confused if you advance further to not think of qualifiers as identical to operators. Granted it would help all the more if we didn't use the same fucking symbol for it, but that's a lost cause. It would help even further if at some point we explicitly told people \"subtracting\" actually means inverting by some magnitude. (-3) - (-3) is therefore \"the inverse of 3 inverted by another inverse of 3\", which is why it ends up being 0 and why \"negative numbers\" are positive when acted upon by the inverse operator (the negative sign).\n\nIn this context of course the inverse can also simply be thought of as \"the reverse\" by some magnitude for simplicity sake. As \"the reversal by the magnitude of the inverse of 3\" would also be 3. Just detailing these kinds of things so you're comfortable trying to think about it in different ways.\n\nThat only works if, and only if, the numbers you're working with are symmetric across some origin point.

This is not JUST about average people, but inter-comparison of standard deviations. The more extreme of an outlier you are compared to others, in general, the more you need to prune your language and ideas.

If someone is about as intelligent as I am, I need to write very little even if we're writing back and forth a lot. We simply \"fill in the blanks\" so quickly that even relatively nonstandard uses of jargon, analogies, and so on, can easily be mutually understood. The more out of someone else's depth you are the more words you need to explain the level of detail you're going for, and the breadth you intend.

Also, it affects my judgement: the \"wrong\" decision doesn't feel as bad compared to the \"right\" decision as it usually does. This makes negotiating technical stuff and social stuff difficult, with tedious revisioning and rethinking until I'm sure I am on the right course.\n\nAs far as I can tell, for me Adderall makes it not so terrible to be in a negative hedonic space. I can see how that would help some people get work done, as being productive involves being able to dip into that negative space throughout the work day. However, it also makes the gradient between the negative and positive hedonic space not so steep, an effect which actually decreases my motivation to take common sense actions which might result in my feeling better, and skews my thinking in ways that are hard to notice.\n\nMaybe there are other drugs which would work better for me."}, {"id": 170, "content": ">>167\nI'm confident because I suffered for the knowledge.

It's a lot easier to justify things, especially situations one becomes habituated to, and a lot harder for anyone else to convince you otherwise.

Even so the notion needs placing because you may need to consider such perspectives, and generate more of these better suited to your specific case. Otherwise you'll be chasing the wrong solution when the drug is actually working fine.

No further examples or definitions may be necessary for correct understanding and application, though without rigor mistakes can still of course be made.\n\nFor your average person in the neutral case, they may need several concrete examples or visual diagrams to better understand how generalizable the concept actually is and its limitations.

It came about during the 1940s when they shipped a bunch of academics to Mexico to help with the war effort. Norbert Wiener and Arturo Rosenbluth were interested in the prospect of their potentially being hidden areas of research and development because academics tend to get shoved into silos where they only focus on a limited area of study. So in Mexico, they ended up discussing what each other was doing and tried to understand each other’s subjects in that other persons own terms. They eventually found that quite a few disciplines had their own conceptions of control and communication, such that various disciplines used the ideas of control and communication in analogous ways yet operating over different domains of interpretation. Walter Pitts and Warren McCulloch noticed for example, that the all-or-nothing potential of neurons could be mapped onto Boolean values and created the first ever artificial neuron model. They also noted how the form of different biological systems could tell you about other parallel biological systems in the body.\nA lot of people here seem to have \"done\" it but don't \"get\" what it is trying to do. You do cybernetics when you try to find functional analogies across different disciplines. You could call it applied math, applied physics, applied philosophy. That's kind of reductive and misses the overarching point of what the subject is trying to do. You’re looking for functional analogies between disciplines, which tell you something about both.

The requirement for the WMO Statement was for up-to-date evidence showing how temperatures may have changed over the last 1000 years. To produce temperature series that were completely up-to-date (i.e. through to 1999) it was necessary to combine the temperature reconstructions with the instrumental record, because the temperature reconstructions from proxy data ended many years earlier whereas the instrumental record is updated every month. The use of the word “trick” was not intended to imply any deception.\n>Phil Jones comments further: “One of the three temperature reconstructions was based entirely on a particular set of tree-ring data that shows a strong correlation with temperature from the 19th century through to the mid-20th century, but does not show a realistic trend of temperature after 1960. This is well known and is called the ‘decline’ or ‘divergence’. The use of the term ‘hiding the decline’ was in an email written in haste. CRU has not sought to hide the decline. Indeed, CRU has published a number of articles that both illustrate, and discuss the implications of, this recent tree-ring decline, including the article that is listed in the legend of the WMO Statement figure.

This still leaves an ocean blip, and i think one needs to have some form of ocean blip to explain the land blip (via either some common forcing, or ocean forcing land, or vice versa, or all of these). When you look at other blips, the land blips are 1.5 to 2 times (roughly) the ocean blips -- higher sensitivity plus thermal inertia effects. My 0.15 adjustment leaves things consistent with this, so you can see where I am coming from. Removing ENSO does not affect this.

I give references to the work reporting this phenomenon at the end of this message, but I'm afraid I'm missing the references to the technical comments that are being responded to in the last two. If you examine my Fig 1 closely you will see that the Campito record and Keith's reconstruction from wood density are extraordinarily similar until 1850.

It is only clear in the driest parts (western) of the region (the Great Basin), above about 3150 meters elevation, in trees old enough (>~800 years) to have lost most of their bark - 'stripbark' trees. As luck would have it, these are precisely the trees that give the chance to build temperature records for most of the Holocene.

While some corrections are necessary, these adjustments are brutally sweeping. Thermometers do need to move, but corrections don’t have to treat old sites as if they were always surrounded by concrete and bricks.\n\nNew original sites are usually placed in good open sites. As the site “ages” buildings and roads appear nearby, and sometimes air conditioners, all artificially warming the site. So a replacement thermometer is opened in an open location nearby. Usually each separate national meteorology centre compares both sites for a while and figures out the temperature difference between them. Then they adjust the readings from the old locations down to match the new ones. The problem is that the algorithms also slice right back through the decades cooling all the older original readings – even readings that were probably taken when the site was just a paddock. In this way the historic past is rewritten to be colder than it really was, making recent warming look faster than it really was. Thousands of men and women trudged through snow, rain and mud to take temperatures that a computer “corrected” a century later.\n\nWe’ve seen the effect of site moves in Australia in Canberra, Bourke, Melbourne and Sydney.

This systematic error, just by itself, creates a warming trend from nothing, step-change by step-change.\n\nWorse, the adjustments are cumulative. The oldest data may be reduced with every step correction for site moves. Ken Stewart found some adjustments to old historic data in Australia wipe as much as 2C off the earliest temperatures.

Some infinities can be said to be larger than others, yes, but it has nothing to do with the apparent size of the objects you associate with them.\nAs you say, you can associate every point on the larger circle with a point on the smaller circle, and as you seem to have figured out, you can naturally make the reverse mapping, even if it seems unintuitive at first.

Still, the Neoplatonists sought to incorporate Aristotle's philosophy within their own system and produced many commentaries on Aristotle.\nOh look, it says what I said.\n\nThe discussion isn't about Aristotle's influence on the Islamic and Christian worlds, it's about whether or not science was common in Ancient Greece.

Thinking about it a bit more though, it seems like this may not be the case. AI would certainly make human doctors *better* (e.g. by providing relevant info about a recent medical discovery or detecting a very subtle pattern), but since each doctor would still need to carefully evaluate and take accountability for any AI diagnosis/decision, it's hard to see AI actually cutting down on diagnostic time.\n\nThe one exception would be charting.

Instead they end up having breakthroughs for hedge funds to make more money.\n\nHowever I think the fundamental issue is how universities are structured. The incentives are simply not aligned to attract ultra-high-achievers which is what would describe these top tier MIT grads. In finance you make as much money as you generate in value. In a university there are multiple layers of bureaucracy which decide what you will make. You could produce 2X the output and still receive the same compensation.

Essentially use your technical knowledge do give the office all the needed information to decide if it is worth spending money defending and enforcing the new patent.\n\nGiven that, what a patent office want is someone with technical knowledge of a field, or the skills to get to grips with it quickly. They generally take masters students and assign them a technical area to specialise in. Research skills are a plus since checking if a new invention is derivative is much like a literature search.

Second, there is attrition. The moment you have 1 year of experience at a top company, all the others start offering double, triple your salary to get you to switch to them.

The material is modularized as a catalog of open questions that seem likely to support productive research work. The main focus is quantum theory but the material spans a breadth of physics and mathematics. Cosmology is heavily weighted and some Millennium Prize problems are included. A comprehensive introduction contains a survey of falsifiable MCM predictions and associated experimental results. Listed problems include original ideas deserving further study as well as investigations of others' work when it may be germane. A longstanding and important conceptual hurdle in the approach to MCM quantum gravity is resolved. A new elliptic curve application is presented. With several exceptions, the presentation is high-level and qualitative. Formal analyses are mostly relegated to the future work which is the topic of this book.

Here we extend the catalog of the rudimentary analytical properties of all real numbers by defining a set of fractional distance functions on the real number line and studying their behavior. The main results of are (1) to prove with modest axioms that some real numbers are greater than any natural number, (2) to develop a technique for taking a limit at infinity via the ordinary Cauchy definition reliant on the classical epsilon-delta formalism, and (3) to demonstrate an infinite number of non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function in the neighborhood of infinity. We define numbers in the neighborhood of infinity as Cartesian products of Cauchy equivalence classes of rationals. We axiomatize the arithmetic of such numbers, prove all the operations are well-defined, and then make comparisons to the similar axioms of a complete ordered field.

This claim is substantiated by the growth of \"reality TV\" programs, the growth of an online culture in which digital media, social media and the desire for fame are generating a \"new era of public narcissism.\"\n\nAlso supporting the contention that American culture has become more narcissistic is an analysis of US popular song lyrics between 1987 and 2007. This found a growth in the use of first-person singular pronouns, reflecting a greater focus on the self, and also of references to antisocial behavior; during the same period, there was a diminution of words reflecting a focus on others, positive emotions, and social interactions. References to narcissism and self-esteem in American popular print media have experienced vast inflation since the late 1980s. Between 1987 and 2007 direct mentions of self-esteem in leading US newspapers and magazines increased by 4,540 per cent while narcissism, which had been almost non-existent in the press during the 1970s, was referred to over 5,000 times between 2002 and 2007.\n\nhttps://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fa0023195\nhttps://journal.media-culture.org.au/mcjournal/article/view/2401"}, {"id": 2, "content": "IT'S JUST ME, MYSELF AND I\nSOLO RIDE UNTIL I DIE\nCAUSE I GOT ME FOR LIFE"}, {"id": 3, "content": ">>1 (OP)\ni felt satisfied when germany raped brazil.

At a certain point the additional dimensions simply cannot be mapped onto a regular 2D plane, that is to say linear equations or functions with solutions in regular numbers, in the usual way you could with a 3D shape \"collapsing\" or \"moving through\" a 2D plane. As the solutions do not, at any point, \"intersect\" in the same way with this plane as do shapes produced in lower dimensions where its coefficients give definite points you can represent in 2D.\n\nIt would help to view what such a shape \"moving through\" a 2D plane ends up looking like. Usually, some criss-crossing lines such that any solution defining the shape or contact points would result in a violation of identity.

In an American, you would compute limits and series in an intro calculus course, but you would not be asked to provide proofs or formal arguments. Conversely, in an analysis course you might prove very basis abstract results and theorems, but you would not be asked to compute any actual limits or derivatives or series. For instance, in an analysis course, you might be asked to prove that a function satisfies the epsilon-delta definition of continuity if and only if it satisfies Lipschitz continuity.\n\nUnfortunately, in American it would be very difficult, e.g. to come across something like a formal proof that a/(1-r) provides the summation formula of a convergent geometric series. It's certainly a nice result and one that any math student in America would be familiar with, but it would be almost impossible to confront an actual proof of this basic fact in an American math course. To be sure, math students in America learn this formula, and they learn that it provides the sum of a convergent geometric series. However, they would never run into a proof of this sort of formula, because geometric series would mainly be covered in an intro calc sequence, whereas rigorous analytic proofs are reserved for when student get to \"upper division\" real analysis.

Same thing with eggs, though you only get one egg and the other dies. When they combine, you would get half of your chromosomes from your sperm and another half from the eggs you made from some other cell in lab. The mixing or choice of chromosomes is random to an extent, so you would lose some alleles from your father or your mother while getting multiple copies of it. The resulting child from your sperm and egg would have multiple copies of some genes exclusive to your mom or to your dad while losing also some. If you did it over multiple generations, they would lose their differences between the sets of chromosomes and would develop more recessive gene phenotypes, basically you would cause them damage trough inbreeding.

The goal is to manage atmospheric carbon dioxide and convert the gas into a useful products.\n\nThe team’s work has been published in the journal ACS Catalysis.\n\nThe calculation – named the Cottrell equation for chemist Frederick Gardner Cottrell, who developed it in 1903 – can help today’s researchers understand the several reactions that carbon dioxide can take when electrochemistry is applied and pulsed on a lab bench.\n\nThe electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide presents an opportunity to transform the gas from an environmental liability to a feedstock for chemical products or as a medium to store renewable electricity in the form of chemical bonds, as nature does.\n\nLead author Rileigh Casebolt DiDomenico, a chemical engineering doctoral student at Cornell under the supervision of Prof. Tobias Hanrath offered the background, “For carbon dioxide, the better we understand the reaction pathways, the better we can control the reaction – which is what we want in the long term. If we have better control over the reaction, then we can make what we want, when we want to make it. The Cottrell equation is the tool that helps us to get there.”\n\nThe equation enables a researcher to identify and control experimental parameters to take carbon dioxide and convert it into useful carbon products like ethylene, ethane or ethanol.\n\nProfessor Hanrath commented that many researchers today use advanced computational methods to provide a detailed atomistic picture of processes at the catalyst surface, but these methods often involve several nuanced assumptions, which complicate direct comparison to experiments."}, {"id": 2, "content": "“The magnificence of this old equation is that there are very few assumptions,” Hanrath said. “If you put in experimental data, you get a better sense of truth. It’s an old classic. That’s the part that I thought was beautiful.”\n\nDiDomenico said, “Because it is older, the Cottrell equation has been a forgotten technique. It’s classic electrochemistry. Just bringing it back to the forefront of people’s minds has been cool. And I think this equation will help other electrochemists to study their own systems.”\n\nThe research was supported by the National Science Foundation, a Cornell Energy Systems Institute-Corning Graduate Fellowship and the Cornell Engineering Learning Initiative.\n\n***\n\nThe idea to recycle CO2 is an attractive one. But the idea to “manage” the CO2 in the atmosphere is a bit alarming. That’s an idea where one finds the “Experts” that are going to decide on behalf of everyone. Its the questions of who, what, why and when, where, and how. Now the “experts” are telling us disaster is just few years away, after 50 years of about the same and being dead wrong. Trusting them with the fuel of life on earth is, well, alarming.\n\nOn the other hand! The atmosphere is nearing halfway to a CO2 content some think to be optimal. So the opportunity to recycle CO2 is becoming possible without dire threat. Recycling CO2 would put humanity into a current planetary carbon cycle.

The \"missing\" heritability is a matter of comparison, as estimating heritability from twin studies, sibling recurrence risk, phenotypic variance, etc, did not line up with genomic studies in large samples. Quite a lot of this research was done for diseases, cancers, and so on, mostly hoping things worked more like mendelian disease or something with significant effect sizes we could do something about. Didn't work out like that.\n\nAnyhow, fast forwarding to the 2000s e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2831613/\n>For example, at least 40 loci have been associated with human height, a classic complex trait with an estimated heritability of about 80%, yet they explain only about 5% of phenotypic variance despite studies of tens of thousands of people15.\nNotice how cute that is these days. 40 loci? Only tens of thousands of people? D'awww science was cute in 2008-2009.\n\nAs you can see this problem was a lot more significant. Back then. The main point of the problem is that heritability estimates did not line up with the heritability found in the general population. Hence, \"missing heritability\".\n\nThen in comes big boy GWAS swinging his dick around and doesn't solve anything. In fact, it makes the problem worse due to identifying numerous false positives that were no more likely to have their purported effect sizes than chance upon re-examination. You can find a lot of this stuff mentioned here apparently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_heritability_problem\n\nThere STILL remains a significant missing heritability due to reproducibility failures.

In fact the vast majority of variants of genes are not going to be subsequently passed down to your children no matter what stage the mutation occurred in.\n\nAs I explained, it is only an estimate of the proportion of a given phenotype in a population that can be associated with genes. We're pretty far off from being able to make direct causal inference, and hence what I noted about both the missing heritability as well as the difficulty in reproducing candidate gene effects.\n>But does it mean diseases aren't genetically inherited\nDiseases are matters of risk. Odds, chance, probability, mostly. Very few follow inheritance patterns like Mendelian diseases. Heritability has nothing to do with inheritance.\n\nThink of it more like \"At a given snapshot these are what the associations are with some given trait\".

If you're looking at the population occupying a given environment overall without significant variation between persons or other things, then the abstract estimates of heritability ought follow in the general population as well for similar phenotypes. That isn't about reductionist hasty (wrong) inferences to causation, that's about statistical associations among the population.\n\nSo the problem is hardly \"association therefore causation and everyone's retarded\".

What you're referring to as Starship, is in fact, Starship-Super Heavy, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Super Heavy plus Starship. Starship is not a Mars settlement vehicle unto itself, but rather another multimillion dollar component of a fully functioning Earther destruction system made useful by the Super Heavy booster, incinerated beetles, and illegal alien welders comprising a full send as defined by Elon.\n\nMany Mars settlers use a modified version of the Super Heavy system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Super Heavy which is widely used these synods is often called \"Starship\", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Super Heavy system, developed by the Super Heavy team.\n\nThere really is a Starship, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Starship is the rocket: the payload in the system that allocates the Earthers' resources towards ends that will result in their destruction. The rocket is an essential part of an Earther destruction system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of an independent Mars and total beetle extinction. Starship is normally used in combination with the Super Heavy booster: the whole system is basically Super Heavy with Starship added, or Starship-Super Heavy.

You can get extreme phenotype variations that family history would not otherwise predict, but quite a few people take inheritance to suggest you cannot get such variance. This is also possible for IQ, such that a family history of average, even below average, can produce a genius It is difficult to say how significant or prevalent such discontinuity is in terms of probabilities, as social conditions and social impetus from conditions seem to result in most of them never being discovered. Society definitely doesn't give a shit. There are a few datapoints suggesting this e.g. https://archive.is/DWi7v\n\nIs the phenotype inherited? Very probably. Does inherited imply some fatalistic measurable potential from ones family history? Self evidently not. Quite a lot of people seem to think it does is the issue, and completely misinterpret the implications of twin studies as a result. Same goes for completely failing to understand what \"heritability increases as people get older\" means. It does not, in fact, imply some regress to the parent's phenotype, but rather a higher association with the genes you have over time. Not your parents genes. Not your parents phenotype. Your genes and phenotype compared to the total sample's genes and phenotypes.\n\nHard to talk about outside very specialized circles, as people make all manner of nonsense assumptions about what is meant or what it means.

Also encouraging are the data that indicated a current efficiency of approximately 55 percent.\n\n>The process has merit because of its relative simplicity and lower temperature requirements compared with other suggested methods such as the reduction of silicates with methane or with carbon. In these methods, the carbon oxides produced must be further treated to obtain elemental oxygen, whereas electrolysis yields oxygen directly.\n\n> To overcome the difficulty caused by oxide depletion and maintain a satisfactory level of cell performance would necessitate provisions for frequent renewal of the electrolyte, especially since there is apparently very little electroreduction of the major oxide constituent SiO2. The mechanics of this present no problem; however, it would require the use of large quantities of flux. Recovery of the fluoride fluxing agents from spent electrolytes must be ruled out as being prohibitively complex.

In addition to advances in medicine or helping to face the issues we have on Earth — such as water and air quality — the research conducted on the ISS is critical in our journey to the Moon and Mars and helping humanity explore the confines of the universe.\n\nHowever, the ISS cannot keep operating forever and has already well exceeded its original lifetime of 15 years: it is planned to be deorbited towards the end of this decade. NASA is likely to transition away from the ISS towards the next generation of continuously crewed, free flying space stations, and Airbus intends to be part of the future of human presence in space.\n\nThis is why Airbus Defence and Space is teaming up with Voyager Space to help design the next space station for NASA, ESA and other customers. The space station of the future, Starlab, could be launched as early as 2028 to ensure a sustained human presence in low-Earth orbit. Designed and architected to provide 100 percent of the International Space Station’s payload capacity with the ability to conduct over 400 experiments or technical investigations per year, Starlab could provide a foundation for continued international cooperation in space, with the goal of accelerating a sustainable ecosystem in space.\n\n“The partnership with Voyager Space is the first step toward fielding the next generation space station serving international astronauts. We are excited to partner with Voyager on a project aimed at changing history,” said Jean-Marc Nasr, Executive Vice President of Space Systems. “Our team is looking forward to diving in on the technology and putting our best engineers to work.”"}, {"id": 718, "content": ">>716\n>Starship is finally starting to look \"real\"?\nhuh? what are you talking about? starship is real, we've seen it down at starbase we're readying the rocket, we have all the valves done, ready to be used in the test flight"}, {"id": 719, "content": "https://starlab-space.com/"}, {"id": 720, "content": ">>718\nI'm talking about the point of view of slow moving institutions and corporations that tend to be conservative"}, {"id": 721, "content": ">>712\n>>717\nI’m not gonna lie it looks pretty sweet.

An ocean of undefined colors is language. Sound is language. In the absence of language, there is no experience.\nLanguage is a composite of symbol and symbolized. A symbol is a referral, a finger pointing to something else. A symbol requires intent and thus an actor. A symbol can not be an island, but needs to be part of a coherent intentionally created set of symbols to fit the definition of language. The symbolized is what is being referred to, what the finger is pointing at: either an object or another symbol, like an idea of an object.\nAny other ''translation'' or ''interaction'' is not language, because there is no intent to communicate with symbol/symbolized. Now consider flowers and bees: I'm inclined to say that's an automated mechanism, a translation, an interaction by chemical reaction of molecules. Only we as conscious beings can see that as language/communication, but the mechanism itself is blind, like current AI. Does ChatGPT ''talk''? I don't see it that way, but i'll give you the benefit of my doubt.\nNow consider it's sunny and high temperature. In reaction, I put on sunglasses and a t-shirt.

For example: no language is needed to learn to avoid a hot stove. Language itself is an additional layer of conditioning on top of that because there is conflict between what you want/need and reality/social expectations. That's why language has been weaponized, it has become a system of control to discipline your mind and body. We've become so attached to language, that letting go of language leaves a void like sobering up from addiction. That's why people hold on for dear life to a particular view of themselves, others, the world, good/bad, right/wrong, past/future, endless philosophies and religions, because they feel lost without making up stories all day to interpret what's happening."}, {"id": 47, "content": ">>46\nKnowledge through conditioning is language.

Even if they avoided walking into the fireplace, it's not because they knew it was dangerous.\nYour analogy is an interesting challenge to respond to. Consider the difference between a sleepwalker and an AI. Sleepwalking is an indifferent, not goal oriented, not adaptive process. AI is the opposite. Learning is adapting to more efficiently and effectively reach a goal, like survival and reproduction. Thus learning does not require a mind. Now consider a lesser extreme: a dog, unlike current AI, has the experience of seeing like we see. The eyes and brain of a dog are not blind like a camera. A dog is not a mere information processor. Thus a dog is conscious, but not conscious of being conscious. A dog suffers hunger and pain and will through neurophysiological negative feedback act to relief that pain, but does not reflect on being hungry and in pain, like a human baby I assume. Thus you can be conscious without mind. The body knows. \"You'' don't know anything anyway, because ''you'' is a fiction that the body created. If the body stops creating fiction, ''you'' disappear, but consciousness and the body live on perfectly fine in an adaptive goal oriented manner, thus not sleepwalking.\nSurely there was a time when you were so immersed into playing a sport, musical instrument, watching a movie, playing a game, having sex, performing some task that you forgot yourself?

Connect a different protein and the whole shape changes. These folded proteins can then deform under certain conditions such as contact with another folded protein, having an electron, chemical or molecule bind to a receptor, etc. These protein chains can also misfold or deform in a useless way or in a way which makes them dangerous when certain conditions are met, like high temperature.\n\nAI is being used to brute force all the different possible ways in which proteins can fold.

Your sexual value among others of your gender is relative to them. Men invented patriarchy with men being the source of resources while also enforcing monogamy on the poor and sometimes even among rich. Making men the sorceress of labour and income flipped the biological roles where now men became more important then women. In most other species females are more important because they invest energy into the child while also taking care of themselves. In agricultural and post-agricultural humans the man is the main source of food and protection, he is more essential thus he can now become the picky one. These roles were reversed among the nobility where women no longer needed protection of the men and thus assumed the natural female superior position in pairing, but among the poor it was question of survival. Now make this system run for the course of 10 000 years and then cancel it the last 60 or so years and you will see why did this strategy persist. Also take into account that humans are mammals which overwhelmingly don’t select males on looks or merit, but rather males themselves restrict each other and fight each other over bigger and bigger harems. Humans would naturally have the alpha male not be naturally selected by the women, but select himself by trashing and putting down lesser men. This might be the whole reason why women are more attracted to status, and also why they sometimes have absurd preferences like being into dysgenic loser dorks just because. Luckily humans were smart enough to stop this destructive male nature and construct strict bridging rituals which can be found even in naked jungle tribes or savannah tribes. It is all just smart artificial lowering of standards by making all men not care so that women are forced to take bad partners just because there aren’t better ones.

You can restock it in the same flight as you go up to it. You don't need to reboost it if you just put it in a higher orbit. And considering that it'll just be a small luxury thing it's not like you'll need the extra mass that Starship can bring to a lower orbit. These costs are negligible.

This makes solar power a consistent, economical energy source. Photovoltaic panels can convert sunlight into electrical current, and solar mirrors can concentrate it for process heat in industrial operations (such as the smelting of ore). A space-based solar concentrator the size of a football field (which could still weigh less than a car) could provide process heat equivalent to the burning of 1 million barrels of oil over 30 years.\nSunlight also drives the life-support system of the habitat, so the day/night cycle can be set to whatever is convenient. Compare this to the moon, where there are 14 days of continuous daylight, and then a 14-day-long night. Here, some alternate energy source would probably have to be used half the time.\nAccess to zero gravity. This may have a number of industrial and entertainment possibilities. Structures (such as the above-mentioned solar mirrors) could be built many times larger and flimsier in space than on a planet. Zero G would be a liability if there were no alternative to it. Astronauts experience loss of bone mass and muscle tone after prolonged exposure to weightlessness. But most of a space habitat would be under Earth-normal gravity, although there would be easy access to regions of reduced gravity and zero G (perhaps for personal flight).

NASA has not yet published an operating plan for fiscal year 2023.\n\n> Nelson was responding to a question from the subcommittee’s chair, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who was concerned about the effects MSR was having on other parts of NASA’s science budget. In its 2024 budget proposal, NASA said it was delaying work on a heliophysics mission, the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC), and slowing work on technology development for a future astrophysics flagship mission, the Habitable Worlds Observatory, because of cost growth in MSR.\n\n>“Some of those costs are not going to be avoided, and we’re going to have to make choices,” Nelson said, suggesting that MSR itself might be delayed. “You can get it done, but it may not be done right on the time we’re hoping it would be done. If you stretch it out over a longer period of time, you can get the problem done.”\n\n> The budget pressures on NASA’s science budget could extend to another mission, the Dragonfly spacecraft in development to go to Saturn’s moon Titan. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said he was worried about Dragonfly after the 2024 budget request offered $327.7 for the mission, compared to $400.1 million it received in 2023. NASA’s 2023 budget proposal projected spending $317.8 million on Dragonfly in 2024.\n\n> Van Hollen interpreted the 2024 request as a cut to Dragonfly that could delay its launch, even though NASA says it remains on schedule. “Everything I know from the experts is that it doesn’t compute. You can’t cut by 20% and still remain on target,” he said.

Recursion would require cyclical connections in the NN but then it would fuck up the back propagation (unless you could black box it to hide the cycle from back propagation).\n\nI also guess you could get better compression and understanding from these things if they thought in analogies. There are many relations between concepts that appear everywhere and are just redundantly encoded for every separate instance of concepts. Beyond simple binary relations (such as A before B, A implies B, A xor B, etc.), it is probably just more efficient to store a template of the relation and keep track of the sets of concepts that satisfy it.\nEven without recursion, better compression of the information would allow more space in the NN to be used for complicated computational structures."}, {"id": 55, "content": ">>4\nBut then it will tie up the circuits trying to figure out how to make a proper cup of tea."}, {"id": 56, "content": ">>37\n>procedural generated slop of pixels repeating what exists with random derivations between chooses thrown in == art\nmasturbate to this very post since it's no different"}, {"id": 57, "content": ">>52\n>criticism is le bad because it's a threatening opposition\nso you're saying there's no room for improvement? lmfao"}, {"id": 58, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nHe’s trying to save face over bad publicity"}, {"id": 59, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>What happened?\n\nask chatGPT if people are being manipulated by algorithms or AI.

After leaving Harvard, Richwine worked briefly at the American Enterprise Institute and then joined the Heritage Foundation and published articles repeating these arguments. In 2013, he published a study of the fiscal effects of an immigration amnesty in the United States, arguing that the costs would amount to $6.3 trillion, and recommended that the United States should not let in immigrants with low IQs. This proposal was widely denounced in the media.

And others feared the ship and its makers, saying, Surely this is the work of the devil, and a sign of his wrath upon us. And the ship did return to the earth in glory and in power, and did land safely upon its feet. And the makers of the ship did rejoice greatly, and gave thanks unto the Lord for his mercy and his grace. And they said one to another, Let us go forth and prepare another ship, that we may fly higher and farther than before.

Rigorous analysis of a lynchpin specimen in this argument (i.e., the Taung Child) provides no support for the notion that australopiths may have delayed metopic suture fusion, possibly for adaptive reasons. We suggest that the scenario hypothesized by Falk and colleagues (2) requires substantially more evidence to support the anatomic, neurologic, and adaptive assertions promulgated therein. Where instances of direct disagreement exist with original descriptions, the state of metopic sutures suggested by Falk and colleagues should be precisely illustrated to support the new characterizations. To this end, we suggest that high-resolution image data sets, such as obtained here from the Taung specimens, could be extremely helpful, if not necessary, to substantiate claims of delayed metopic suture closure. Relatively low-resolution images (e.g., medical CT) likely do not offer enough spatial resolution to provide definitive evidence, as was the case with the Taung Child.\nYour takeaway?\n>Scientists doing science and finding cause to disagree on order of events or particular strength of evidence means ALL evolution wrong\n>>>/x/"}, {"id": 23, "content": ">>21\n>argument not found"}, {"id": 24, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>yes, the cranial structure is everything.

We make the case that the Israelites are described as God's chosen people in the Bible despite their identity as the children of Satan because God's Messiah is descended from Abraham through Satan. They are chosen as the ancestors of the Messiah rather than as Satan's children. We propose an interpretation in which God commanded Abraham to kill his son Isaac to prevent Isaac from becoming the father of Satan.

People compete mightily for attention. In social situations they tend to steer the conversation away from others and toward themselves. The profusion of popular literature about \"listening\" and \"managing those who talk constantly about themselves\" suggests its pervasiveness in everyday life. This claim is substantiated by the growth of \"reality TV\" programs, the growth of an online culture in which digital media, social media and the desire for fame are generating a \"new era of public narcissism.\"\n\nAlso supporting the contention that American culture has become more narcissistic is an analysis of US popular song lyrics between 1987 and 2007. This found a growth in the use of first-person singular pronouns, reflecting a greater focus on the self, and also of references to antisocial behavior; during the same period, there was a diminution of words reflecting a focus on others, positive emotions, and social interactions. References to narcissism and self-esteem in American popular print media have experienced vast inflation since the late 1980s.

So polarising is this topic that anti-vegan communities — groups of individuals who stand vehemently against veganism — have sprung up across the internet. Much scholarship on veganism characterizes anti-vegans in passing, painting them as ill-informed, uneducated, or simply obstinate. However, little empirical work has investigated these communities and the individuals within them. Accordingly, we conducted a study using social media data from the popular platform, Reddit. Specifically, we collected all available submissions (∼3523) and comments (∼45,528) from r/AntiVegan subreddit users (N = 3819) over a five-year period. Using a battery of computerized text analytic tools, we examined the psychosocial characteristics of Reddit users who publicly identify as anti-vegan, how r/AntiVegan users discuss their beliefs, and how the individual user changes as a function of community membership. Results from our analyses suggest several individual differences that align r/AntiVegan users with the community, including dark entertainment, ex-veganism and science denial. Several topics were extensively discussed by r/AntiVegan members, including nuanced discourse on the ethicality and health implications of vegan diets, and the naturalness of animal death, which ran counter to our expectations and lay stereotypes of r/AntiVegan users. Finally, several longitudinal changes in language use were observed within the community, reflecting enhanced group commitment over time, including an increase in group-focused language and a decrease in cognitive processing.

To give a proper definition of oscillatory integrals (an integral of an oscillating phase on a set of infinite measure is ambiguously defined).\n\nIn non-relativistic quantum mechanics, it is possible to define the path integral in imaginary time completely rigorously, making use essentially of stochastic Brownian integration (Wiener measure on paths). In fact, in imaginary time the oscillating phase becomes a damping exponential factor, thus simplifying a lot the definition of the integral, and part of the exponential is used to define the Wiener measure. This is very helpful to study semigroups of the type e−τ(−Δ+V), for suitable potentials V, whenever τ≥0.Under suitable conditions this may also give some information on the unitary group e−it(−Δ+V) (for example, it may be used to prove self-adjointness of (−Δ+V), thus guaranteeing the existence of the unitary group of evolution). The rigorous path integral formula for Schrödinger operators takes the name of Feynman-Kac formula.

It's just a bit of banter some people say for fun but retards take seriously.

What you're referring to as Starship, is in fact, Starship-Super Heavy, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Super Heavy plus Starship. Starship is not a Mars settlement vehicle unto itself, but rather another multimillion dollar component of a fully functioning Earther destruction system made useful by the Super Heavy booster, incinerated beetles, and illegal alien welders comprising a full send as defined by Elon.\n\nMany Mars settlers use a modified version of the Super Heavy system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Super Heavy which is widely used these synods is often called \"Starship\", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Super Heavy system, developed by the Super Heavy team.\n\nThere really is a Starship, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Starship is the rocket: the payload in the system that allocates the Earthers' resources towards ends that will result in their destruction. The rocket is an essential part of an Earther destruction system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of an independent Mars and total beetle extinction. Starship is normally used in combination with the Super Heavy booster: the whole system is basically Super Heavy with Starship added, or Starship-Super Heavy. All the so-called \"Starship\" bombardments are really bombardments from Starship-Super Heavy."}, {"id": 73, "content": "Kick the tyres and light the fires! Space here we come!

Let me explain.\n1. Most of the European and American countries haven't been able to reverse fertility decline despite decades long immigration.\n2. It has been confirmed that among most immigrants the fertility rate stabilises and declines to national average within a generation, this is specially the case with educated immigrants who settle with Jobs , example - Jeets and Asians in US (both these groups below replacement fertility rate) in case of uneducated refugees, same is true because most of them are men who want an easy buck, they rarely establish families - Afro-Arabs in Europe, most of them end up becoming criminals and land in prisons, ghettos are where they hang out.\n3.

Perhaps we should not. Independently of this debate, the fact is that the *change* from a society with barely visible transgenderism to one of highly visible transgenderism is, in itself, a point of contention. This contention would not exist from the perspective of someone in either the pre- or the post-transformation phase, but only during the acute transformation. This induces several problems:\n- if the transition occurs over, like, 5 years, perhaps the damage done would be very limited and acceptable. But you notice how from people a) not being NPCs without free will (so you can't just roll out a software update to them -- usually) b) or of low intelligence/critical thinking ability or c) low civic engagement or d) valuing any debate about novel development, it follows that a period longer than \"very few years\" is a very desirable outcome. If you reject this claim, you have to concede at least one of these 4 points as being \"desirable\".\n- what if the switch from pre-TG to post-TG society takes 100 years? Would a 100 years of sociopolitical trench warfare be worth it? Let us illustrate this on a different example: if a fringe cause like 'furry rights' can only be won via 2 months of corrosive social debate, would you deem it worth it? What about over 100 years?\n\nThis was point 1. \"The issue of the differential\". Notice how I have not even yet addressed TG itself.\nPoint 2 is \"Are there downsides to such revolutionary gender ideas, and are they worth it?\"\nThe idea that gender is a) a 'thing' and b) mutable are deeply corrosive. You notice this with the social contagion of the rate of FtM teenagers exploding 40-fold.\n(1/3)"}, {"id": 19, "content": ">>16\n>>18\nThat most of these cases are not genuine follows from logic: if it is merely due to higher social acceptance, MtF rates should have exploded similarly. Furthermore, teenagers and people of predisposition for mental issues will be more receptive for such \"fancies\" that do not map onto actual transgenderism, or any neurological divergence for that matter (also compare the faux epidemic of \"dissociative disorder\", etc.) What is happening that these issues (TG, some mental disorders) have passed a point of \"extraordinary social cost\", to merely \"low\" or even \"no social cost\". Again, this follows directly from the maxims that the pro-TG crowd posits, that these things should \"become acceptable\"\nWhat could be the gain of simulating such conditions? Various. Clout. Identity construction. Or no productive motivation whatsoever. Consider also how this just regards the individual: this dynamic becomes multi-dimensional once you also incorporate the social environment into the equation, where other people might induce an otherwise non-receptive individual into adopting the mental identity, again due to various dynamics (believing this advances \"a cause\", communal identity reinforcement, clout-by-proxy, fetishistic factors, etc.).\n\nFurthermore, proposed gender revolutions are corrosive towards the functioning of traditional gender roles. These of course have not arisen in a vacuum, but are a function of humans being mammals. For example, the fact that women are more nurturing follows from biology. By extension, women will be more predisposed to enter fields with such an element. Via contraposition it follows that fewer women will enter fields that are least relevant to nurturing disciplines (you may take this to be STEM, martial services, or whatever \"trad masc\" field you prefer).\n(2/3)"}, {"id": 20, "content": ">>15\n>>19\n>Societies have had 3rd genders and trans genders for thousands of years without collapsing and falling into the ocean.\nPerhaps they did fall into the ocean? The societies that had these transformations arguably are not the same as these with the state before the acceptance of the \"third gender\" idea. It is hard to untangle this in the mind of someone of moderate intelligence, but: note that I am not making any normative judgment about the desirability of the pre-third gender e.g. Indian society, and the post- one. I am rather arguing from the point of view from someone that lived in the pre- society. Perhaps, to them, this change was too radical to be compatible with the claim \"this is a society I can identify with\"? The entire crux of this debate is that the validity of such social issues are fully amoral: they exist on an orthogonal axis from the main \"less ethical\" to \"more ethical\" axis.\nThe fact that someone disagrees with some social de novo development is already, inherently, reason enough to consider it \"morally admissible and most likely relevant\". This is a consequence of that person being a participant in society, and part of the social construction.\nIf you want to show their reservations are unfounded, you cannot naively attempt to argue from first principles (e.g. \"the golden rule\"), as, as demonstrated, via first principles such social debates are fundamentally inert and independent of the main ethical axis. You need to counter their individual reservations. E.g. \"I find it is too dangerous to allow this ideology, as it preys too much on the mentally weak\".\n\n(3/3)"}, {"id": 21, "content": ">>19\nChatGPT still has some way to go I see."}, {"id": 22, "content": ">>21\nI know.

In theory reconstruction is used to approximate the accuracy of \"likeness\" of individuals.\n\nBut the problem is reconstruction often utilizes art (paintings/sculptures) and literature (1st or 3rd person accounts) to illustrate likeness. But people who view this often ignore the subjectiveness of artists who either felt pressure or admiration in the creation of portraits or sculptures. Thus it's possible rather than capturing authenticity of the tartget, they instead capture the idealized form and thus filter out imperfections or features that would be viewed unfavorably by the audience it's made for at the time.\n\nThere is also the fact that because reconstructions are trying to approximate likeness of people that are thousands of years old. A lot of reference points are in a deteriorated state meaning you are bumping into a physical horizon to which there is no more information to utilize in order to gain more accuracy. Again akin to the cosmological horizon to which the distance of an event is too great to access the accuracy of causality of the subject matter.\n\nSo something like pic related which is a mixture of a.i. generation, historical reference and artistic inference can only be so accurate.

Both being relevant more broadly to entropy of course. This might be something of great interest to you as a different avenue of research, if the tipping points or \"fuzzy edges\" of said tipping points can be identified behaviorally through this kind of analysis. As noted >>25 shits hard.\n\nIn modeling the dysregulation of that homeostasis with respect to alzheimer's it would follow as a systems collapse which, also in mathematics, would be akin to that of a progressively dissipative system. The thing is MOST of what I find on that for alzheimer's and neurology is homeostasis in the brain but not with respect to the kind of \"behavioral tendency/oscillations\" reinforcing the \"downward spiral\", or system dysregulation.

Sorry. It has to be very dense. I'm trying to explain there is a very interesting intersection pertaining to things like AD that you might also want to take the time to investigate too, pertaining to neurology, because the neural features and anatomical features evolve over time with respect to the very same phenotypic feedback.\n\nYes, phenotypic range is definitely related, and that would be the reason for its largely sporadic nature and inconsistent GWAS correlates as with most multifactorial diseases.

Not as cause, no, but as a pattern of reciprocal environment and behaviors (hence ergodicity) reinforcing progressive dysregulation. My point is the ratio relative to the degree of \"preserving\" or central tendnecy in the system is what matters and ergo could be causal or the driving mechanism.\n\nAnother example relevant there is how that plays into heritability increasing with age. The homology or \"sameness\" of phenotypes and their statistical relatedness between people grows over time as an assortative function, like assortative mating but more generally. As applied to alzheimer's for example, as a matter of assortative environment matching correlative to but not causal to the disease. Same goes for the neuranatomical features. Instead the cause could be, as with dynamical systems and progressive dissipation, or per biology homeostatic dysregulation( e.g. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2001037022005098 ), the ratio of destabilization to equilibrium reinforcement. i.e. degree to which the holistic reaction norm swings as a matter of relative magnitude not absolutes.\n>>29\nhence thinking you'd be interested."}, {"id": 32, "content": ">>31\n>>29\nSo relevant to you would be the concept of an attractor, or that homeostatic preserving tendency, and the magnitude relative to the central tendency.

More importantly, if it can be quantified in some way neurologically with respect to the \"attractor\" of homeostasis and degree to which somebody's brain can manage that versus its response to destabilizing stimuli.\n\nYou'd know, mechanistically, better than me to what degree that math could or couldn't work out. Doesn't have anything to do with amyloid. Nonetheless if the entropic tendnecy of the brain as a system can be measured or quantified in some way, then the periodic stressors or destabilizing tendency could also be quantified as a matter of displacing that tendency. Stuff like that has been considered e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8870268/\n\nMost interesting, to me, would be your thoughts on how this could present and be made to functionally work out for Alzheimer's and your related specialty.

That is, after a certain point your maintenance starts to shut off and you become the part of planned obsolescence.\nAs such if you wanted to monetize this research you'd want to create a model of risk management in the later half of life based on your genetics.\nFor example, I'm kinda lax on worries about carcinogens and AD inducing factors myself even though I'm terrified of dementia.

The pieces are definitely there, now, but they're not coming together in making predictions and correlating to phenotypes, longitudinal behavioral data, and GWAS data, even though all the ability to do so exists.

Took a roundabout bit of thinking to remember the right bits of information and find where I lost myself. What I'm ultimately talking about is just a different application of systems biology, but the subset with respect to merging concepts of dynamical systems theory (system dynamics) growing more common in molecular biology to the level of behaviors and complex phenotypes instead.\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_biology\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposome\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_dynamics\n\nSo in the end I figured it out. Now that I got the right jargon there are hundreds of relevant papers e.g. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/24176128_Systems_Biology_and_Its_Application_to_the_Understanding_of_Neurological_Diseases\nhttps://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/alz.12923\nWhether this is useful or not I don't know, but apparently the bulk of the papers are from the framing of system dynamics as a subset of systems biology.

Very briefly, my notion is need little details. To use the concept of phenotypic \"reaction norms\" in a more life history sense, the degree to which the phenotype becomes self-reinforcing and therefore expresses higher heritability among a population ought also reflect the degree of entropy the system is dealing with. In one sense one could conceive of this system also as having bifurcations, or akin to \"catastrophe theory\" that could, or should, be predictable by the degree of adaptiveness and time to convergence toward homeostasis. That is, strength of attractor. Pragmatically that is probably going to translate to how neurotic somebody is at dealing with life, but not exclusively.\n\nSo not needing complex behavioral patterns. Just needing centralizing tendency (convergence time to homeostasis, degree of variance in homeostasis, etc) and stable/reactive entropy. However that works out. I am talking about the system, itself, not its ever changing variables. One need not know the cause of the displacement to know its effects if the end results toward dissipation are predictable by inability to sufficiently reduce entropy.\n>a statistical approach would very likely cut out the most significant parts in favor of amplifying either the sub-average or outright noise.\nI'm not thinking \"big data for big data sake\" high dimensionality bullcrap, I'm thinking proportional reactivity measure and likely achievable with very few variables.

Remember there's publications on this (out of the loop for some time now), one issue I've seen here is that if you look at it from a single gene perspective you often do get very \"double-edged\" results on the behavioural part. Unsurprisingly, as a single gene variant within its overall network can lead to effectively opposite outcomes ... same you could likely apply to traits such as \"neuroticism\" or \"aggressiveness\", depending on situation and nurture these could have drastically different outcomes. What you call \"catastrophe theory\" there is what I would call \"thresholds\" ... points where a certain geno-phenotype does cross a point of intensity (by feedback) where its influence on the whole system becomes dominant, or at least very pronounced.\n\n>One need not know the cause of the displacement to know its effects if the end results toward dissipation are predictable by inability to sufficiently reduce entropy.\n\nTrue, doesn't matter so much what has provided the impulse to move the system into its \"local minima\" ... the minima are at least partially preconfigured already, just a question in which one will land.\n\n>I'm not thinking \"big data for big data sake\" high dimensionality bullcrap\n\nGood!

They can be as tiny as a grain of sand or as big as a golf ball. Sometimes they stay in the kidney, but they often travel through the urinary tract.\n\nIf a kidney stone is small enough, you may not even know you have one as it passes through the urinary system.\n\nA large kidney stone can cause significant pain. It can also block the flow of urine, causing harmful backups.\n\nThe most common type of kidney stones are calcium oxalate stones.\n\nCalcium naturally binds to a substance called oxalate. Ideally, calcium binds with oxalate in the stomach and intestines before moving to the kidneys. Then, the substances leave the body without forming stones.\n\nHowever, if calcium and oxalate combine in the urine, they can form kidney stones, especially if there’s not enough liquid.\n\nKidney stones are common. The National Kidney Foundation estimates that one in 10 people will have a kidney stone at some point in their lives. They affect more men than women.\n\nWhat are the Symptoms?\nIf you’ve had kidney stones before, you may recognize the signs. Typical symptoms of kidney stones are:\n\nChills.\nConstant need to urinate.\nFever.\nBloody urine.\nNausea.\nPain in your lower back or side (flank pain).\nVomiting.\n\nhttps://share.upmc.com/2022/04/how-to-treat-kidney-stones-at-home/\n\nNow run your mouth some more dipshit."}, {"id": 34, "content": ">>33\nOddly this website (pic rel) says to consume dairy OP but most, if not all, the other ones I checked out say not to and when I had kidney stones drinking milk or cream always made it worse.

ML is mostly statistics and linear algebra.\n\nHowever matroid theory basically provides a combinatorial analog of some of the ideas in linear algebra. It turns out that matroids are closely connected to optimization, greedy algorithms, and linear programming. This ends up being useful for machine learning, because ML often involves optimization algorithms that can be better understood using matroids. That being said, I don't know much about the topic. I don't ML algorithms are doing a lot of combinatorics or matroid theory or anything like that. I haven't looked to dep into it, but from what I understand matroid theory ends up being a useful tool, not for actually executing optimization algorithms, but rather for proving that these algorithms in fact work in the general case. So it more so has to do with machine learning theory, rather than machine learning implementation.\n\nMy undergrad education was at a very small liberal arts college. I was a good student and I think the professors were great, but the math department was very small and class choices were limited. Also, this was unfortunately during COVID lockdowns. However, I definitely learned a lot of cool stuff.\n\nMasters program was at a much larger university, and it has really been fun, and this fall I'll be starting my PhD.

Yet it did exist just as the colder periods that the earth has known and historical accounts confirm its worldwide occurrence.\n\nDon J. Easterbrook is Professor Emeritus of Geology at Western Washington University in Evidence-Based Climate Science gives a clear description of this period that lasted for almost half a century.\nThe Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was a time of warm climate from about 900–1300 AD, when global temperatures were somewhat warmer than at present. The effects of the warm period were particularly evident in Europe, where grain crops flourished, alpine tree lines rose, many new cities arose, and the population more than doubled.\n\nThe Vikings took advantage of the climatic amelioration to colonize southern Greenland in 985 AD, when milder climates allowed favorable open-ocean conditions for navigation and fishing. Greenland settlements lasted about 500 years before cooling during the Little Ice Age ended the settlements.\n\nDuring the Medieval Warm Period, wine grapes were grown as far north as England, where growing grapes is now not feasible and about 300 miles (500 km) north of present vineyards in France and Germany. Grapes are presently grown in Germany up to elevations of about 1800 ft (560 m), but from about 1100 to 1300 AD, vineyards extended up to about 2500 ft (780 m), implying that temperatures were warmer by about 2–2.5°F (1–1.4°C). Wheat and oats were grown around Trondheim, Norway, suggesting that the climate was about 2°F (1°C) warmer than present (Fagan, 2007)."}, {"id": 121, "content": "Elsewhere in the world, prolonged droughts affected the southwestern United States and Alaska warmed. Sediments in central Japan record warmer temperatures. Sea surface temperatures in the Sargasso Sea were approximately 1°C warmer than today and the climate in equatorial east Africa was drier from 1000 AD to 1270 AD. An ice core from the eastern Antarctic Peninsula shows warmer temperatures during this period.\n\nAt the end of the Medieval Warm Period, around 1300 AD, temperatures dropped dramatically and the cold period that followed is known as the Little Ice Age. This period occurred from the 14th century through the mid-19th century.\n(Source: Evidence-Based Climate Science/ Don J.

Matthes in 1939.[4] The period has been conventionally defined as extending from the 16th to the 19th centuries,[5][6][7] but some experts prefer an alternative timespan from about 1300[8] to about 1850.[9][10][11]\n\nThe NASA Earth Observatory notes three particularly cold intervals. One began about 1650, another about 1770, and the last in 1850, all of which were separated by intervals of slight warming.[7] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Third Assessment Report considered that the timing and the areas affected by the Little Ice Age suggested largely independent regional climate changes, rather than a globally synchronous increased glaciation. At most, there was modest cooling of the Northern Hemisphere during the period.[3]\n\nSeveral causes have been proposed: cyclical lows in solar radiation, heightened volcanic activity, changes in the ocean circulation, variations in Earth's orbit and axial tilt (orbital forcing), inherent variability in global climate, and decreases in the human population (such as from the Black Death and the epidemics emerging in the Americas upon European contact[12])."}, {"id": 123, "content": "climate is non-linear.

Women will report themselves as \"not single\" when casual dating while men will report themselves as single if they don't consider it committed or serious. There are similar wide differences in surveys asking about sex only in reverse, where women will consider numerous sex acts as \"not sex\" because it isn't penis-in-vagina while men consider damn near everything to be sex.\nOne example blog going over some of these details using GSS responses https://ifstudies.org/blog/theres-no-huge-gender-gap-in-being-single-among-young-adults\nDiscordance in reporting courtship: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0049089X1300029X\n\nThere are hundreds and hundreds of papers on survey methodology pertaining to gender differences between men and women as to how they conceptualize questions and categories. Most big differences are the result of poor inter-sex question \"validity\", i.e. failure to account for men and women conceiving the categories (single, not single, had sex or not, etc) differently. That is also why many of the better surveys have stopped asking direct questions like that, and instead break down categories into specific acts to get more honest answers and remove the difference. e.g. have you given/received a blowjob, a handjob, etc.\n\nSuch discordance also occurs in many other surveys for all kinds of reasons. Any survey not accounting for this is being ineptly designed or deliberately misleading. It is impossible for any relevant professional to not be aware given how widely they've been recorded and published, unless they're so utterly inept as to barely be trusted flipping burgers.

Then the second is that any transition becomes not just difficult, but more or less impossible, when the lessons of the age being left behind haven't been fully learned. This is why Jung as prophet placed so much internal emphasis on his private life of voluntary suffering and conscious sacrifice, and is why those commentators and interpreters who quaintly claim his psychology was aimed at transcending all the Christian values couldn't be more wrong. It’s why he also emphasized that, sinking as we are into a state of darkness, we are still living inside the Christian aeon of Pisces which means “we shall need Christian virtues for the utmost”, and it’s why, far from abandoning those close to him, he kept supporting and encouraging them. After all, a little encouragement in the face of the impossible is always welcome.\"\n\n\"What he saw in this particular transition was something far worse than the usual affair, at such times, of mass melancholy and despair. “Now we are coming to Aquarius’, as he wrote to a friend, “and we are standing only at the very beginning of this apocalyptic development!”\nAnd, as he would do more than once, he quoted a Latin text from the ancient Sibylline oracles that contains an old visionary prophecy not exactly in line with the new-age celebrations of an Aquarian age:\nLuciferi vires accendit Aquarius acres, “Aquarius sets on fire the savage powers of Lucifer.’\""}, {"id": 36, "content": ">>11\n>30+ replies\n>only one intelligent reply with critical thinking\n>only response is cope\nI fucking hate the hoards of retards that have flooded this site, I fucking hate stupid people.

Really a theory needs to be widely consistent. For instance if you have a faulty theory (like flat earth or geocentrism, but flat earth for instance.) In a lot of reference frames flat earth seems to be true. You have to seek out reference frames that invalidate the theory (for instance, being 60 miles above the horizon to disprove flat earth.) If a theory appears to be true in common reference frames but not true in all reference frames then its not a theory of absolute reality. Flat earth appears to be in common reference frames, but not all reference frames. So it is useful for small tasks like Microsoft flight sim which uses the flat earth model, or computer games, but is not that useful in modelling space equipment and such. This could be said for other theories, for instance Newtonian Mechanics. Its useful for small engineering projects but at the quantum level, atoms are probably not literal billiard balls.

If early blindness (estimated cumulative incidence = 460/2.500.332 = 0.000184) was to completely abolish the risk of schizophrenia (hazard ratio ∼.00), significant results would require a cohort of approximately 3 000 000 individuals long enough to reach the assumed cumulative incidence, and if early blindness would only halve the risk (hazard ratio ∼.5), a cohort of at least 11 000 000 individuals would be required. Substantially larger cohorts would be required to investigate a protective effect of early cortical blindness, specifically, as this is a much more rare condition than early blindness in general.

Further, academia often involves first finding someone to pay your salary and then finding someone to give you a job. Generally in industry you at least don't have to beg for money on the regular. Academia also doesn't have any guarantee of continuity or career progression until tenure track, which is infamously scarce. Basically a 5th year postdoc, if they don't get a faculty position, is shit out of luck and will not be any better off than someone straight out of their PhD.

Some academic advisors are very hands-off, you can do whatever you want day-to-day and won't get any guidance even if you wanted to. Others micromanage their groups and dictate your schedule, I hear this especially from synthetic chemistry groups which seem to be sweatshops. If your advisor dislikes you or is a psychopath you're basically fucked, they can make it all but impossible for you to continue in academia completely.

Possibility to travel in Europe and Asia (most likely forced to). Located in a big city (>500k).\nDon’t know how relevant a master in systems engineering would be here.\n\nOffer 2. Small company (70 - 80 people (2k worldwide)) and its more consulting work where almost everything is done in house. They do a lot of cool stuff like implementing control systems for autonomous driving or electrification of trucks. I would mostly be able to focus on what I want to do. Could be control systems, could be embedded systems etc. Located in a small city (<50k).\nHas their own systems engineering department.\n\nOffer 3. Small IT/Engineering company (30 - 50 (250 worldwide)). Work would be related to PLM. Tasks could be working with Siemens teamcenter or other PLM stuff (related to manufacturing). I guess it’s pretty standard. They mentioned CAD and maybe SQL + PowerBI as possible work as well. Located in the same city as offer 1.\n\nOffer 4.

Different people have different methods for it, I find flash cards work, reviewing them weekly and practicing the ones I get wrong more regularly.\n\nTake calculus for example. You need to memorize some trig identities, common substitutions, maybe a derivation or two, matrix identities, tensor identities, product rule, quotient rule, limits of exponentials and trig. You also need to practice using these to familiarise yourself with the topix. Find questions in your coursework and past exam papers or textbooks.

The \"reason\" is actually simple, we're after all not dealing with a static system here, very much the opposite! Complex structures which stabilize and replicate themselves at the \"expense\" of the environment, running along the axis of entropic gradients ... this is semi-stability, if it would \"calcify\" into a fully stable form it would be dead, lifeless.

The current trajectory of the oscillating line becomes unstable then, and usually some otherwise even \"minor\" outside disturbance (the discontinuity event) will then trigger or even catalyze the trajectory reversal of our oscillating line. The new set of conditions comes into full effect, selective factors flip from the previous set to the new one.

There are also considerably different mutation rates with respect to genome size and how that's used between flora/fauna or further at the phylum level and below. For certain viruses the incredibly high mutation rate and low genome size makes it highly adaptive, and the same is true for various flora or fauna \"within domain\" or within kingdom.

Once the water/LN2 cooled steel plate-flame diverter amalgam part is installed along with a massive deluge system, we are absolutely set to withstand Starship blasts, this launch it was moreso the gas/exhaust fumes getting under the concrete and shattering/lifting everything instead of the normal erosion (this will be fixed next time around). The plate is already 3 months in the making and on the flame diverter side we saw parts shipped there about 2 weeks ago, could also have started being made about then or even earlier. They also have experience in rebuilding pads, all the engines are massively improved on B9/S26 compared to the old ass R2s used in B7/S24. This and the stages themselves also have like a hundred improvements, and they have launch data to fix what is needed. The only thing I would be any bit doomer about next launch is anything past MECO, even then we have B10/S27 basically ready to go after in just a few months prep, which will have even more improvements than the last and more data to work with. There were barely any tiles that fell off, even in the massive fucking stress test of multiple flips and it still didnt blow up until FTS forced it to. I would also like to remind you as per Eric Berger's sources, a retired senior SpaceXer said 4-6 months easily, and he hasnt been there for a bit, they know what they're doing and gained shit tons of experience, Elon said 1-2 months so even in between the two that’s 3-4 months.

The test flight, which for the first time launched the Starship upper stage integrated with its Superheavy booster, was, by a factor of two, the most powerful rocket launch in human history.\n\nLasting over three minutes, the flight test revealed numerous issues with the system, including insufficient protection of the launch infrastructure, failures during launch or flight of eight out of the Superheavy’s 33 Raptor engines, and failure of the system to separate the Starship from the Superheavy as designed. These issues can now be corrected in preparation for the next flight test.\n\nCommenting on the test, Mars Society President Dr. Robert Zubrin said “The Starship test flight today was a remarkable achievement. The vehicle was able to survive numerous subsystem failures to make it through Max Q and all the way to stage separation, thereby providing a wealth of data to SpaceX engineers to now correct and then move forward.\n\n“SpaceX’s methodology is to build, fly, crash, and fix what went wrong, then try again, each time pushing further into the flight envelope. On its first try, Starship made it halfway through its flight envelope. It may take them a few more tries before they make it all the way and become fully operational, finally achieving the dream of cheap access to orbit. But they will do it.\n\n“And when that day comes, the human race will be halfway to anywhere.”"}, {"id": 339, "content": "Behold, the ABSOLUTE WORST TAKE I have ever seen.

That would fit increasing urbanisation trends. Are animal-killing astronauts as common as ever, and the PR people just keep that off their official profiles now? Or describe it with euphemisms that I'm not spotting, like \"hiking\" or something? Maybe.

I don't know. Really i think the more funding put into creating space elevators would pay off a lot more later on. Right now it costs so much to put one thing into space, but if we could make it cheaper to get things into space then we could put a lot more shit in space, i guess that's obvious really but yeah a space elevator or some kind of hybrid elevator with an upper atmosphere launchpad or just anything to reduce the costs\n\nLike the Cassini satellite and Huygens spacecraft that landed on Titan in 2005, it cost $3.26 billion, with the probe that landed on Titan costing over $300 million.

Because of the greenhouse effect, the Earth's actual average surface temperature is about 288 K (15 °C), which is higher than the 255 K effective temperature, and even higher than the 279 K temperature that a black body would have.\nwhat a stupid fucking argument. the calculation in pic rel makes sense, and climate cultist have to modify it to justify their greenhouse gas warming. absolutely pathetic.\n\nfor those who actually understand science (and particularly, physics), i'll spell it out. the sun's temperature is reported as 5780K, but there's a standard error of about 100K associated with it. thus, we're only confident the sun's temperature is 5800K (two sig fig accuracy). the sun's radius is known to extremely high precision, and thus that value is fine. the earth-sun distance is taken to be a constant. meaning that to two sig figs, the earth's temperature is calculated to be 280K, which is in agreement with the measured earth's temperature of 288K. any \"modifications\" to this value is tantamount to p-hacking at best. i mean, if you want to use albedo (to one sig-fig accuracy), congratulations: you turned the calculation into giving only one sig-fig accuracy as 300K.\n\ncan't say i'm surprised that these climate cultists don't understand scientific principles taught to literal freshmen in college courses"}, {"id": 16, "content": ">>15\nto be more precise, we can actually use standard error propagation formulas to track how the error in the sun's temperature measurement propagates to an error in the earth's temperature. it's a trivial calculation, again taught to freshmen in physics laboratory classes. anyhow the final result is that earth's surface temperature is calculated to be [math]280\\pm5[/math] K, which means earth's measured temperature falls within \\pm two standard errors of the calculated value, which is well-within agreement.\n>but meh heckin albedo of 0.3!\nagain, as argued that's known only to one sig fig. assuming best case scenario that it's as confident as possible (to one sig-fig accuracy), we can say its [math]0.3\\pm0.1[/math]. repeating the error propagation, tracking only errors in temperature of sun and of albedo (since rest are negligible) now gives a reported earth temperature of 255K.... but with a standard error of 20K, meaning the new reported value of earth's temperature is [math]260\\pm20[/math] K. again, this is well within agreement of the measured value of 289 K.\n\ncongrats, you reduced the calculated value at the cost of a higher error. you might be able to fool idiots who don't understand error propagation, but you won't be able to fool trained scientists."}, {"id": 17, "content": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_energy_budget"}, {"id": 18, "content": ">>17\n>twice the energy from ghg than the sun\nPure bullocks.\n>Recycles energy\nViolation of thermodynamics"}, {"id": 19, "content": ">>18\nwikipedia also has a page that shows that the \"greenhouse\" effect is only responsible for about 15ºK of the planet's temperature above kelvin"}, {"id": 20, "content": ">>12\nThank you, anon.

So the more re-radiation that happens because of higher greenhouse gas content the warmer it gets on average from increased flux per square meter or foot or whatever other measurement/metric you want to use for a patch of land.\n\nWhere it gets tricky is with humidity and it's a known fact that more parts of Earth are passing wet bulb thresholds, meaning if you get hot you're not gonna be able to cool off by perspiration. So core temperature keeps increasing until you get a heat stroke from dilated blood vessel.\n\nThis is all basic science and arguing about it does not change the reality of increased energy flux per square meter of earth and increased atmospheric humidity which, by the way, also contributes to increased temperature.\n\nSo what exactly are you retards arguing about?

To achieve this goal, the craft was designed to be as small and inexpensive as possible, with only one crew member onboard. The crew compartment itself was unpressurized and only large enough for a seated astronaut, who would be required to remain in their spacesuit throughout the duration of the mission. Notably, the craft lacked key features such as hydraulics, an ejection seat, or even landing gear. Instead, it would utilize a parawing to glide back to Earth and touch down on land.\n>Despite its Spartan design, the STAR was intended to function as an orbital runabout, capable of carrying out a variety of missions. The craft was eight meters in length and only a meter and a half tall at its aft end, tapering down to a fine point at its nose. To optimize its transportability, the nose was designed to fold back at a hinge four meters down from the tip of the STAR, creating a compact package just four meters in length.\n>In terms of deployment, the Shuttle was expected to lift the STAR into orbit, potentially even multiple at a time, and deploy them from its cargo bay. Once in space, the STAR would set off on its designated missions, either returning to the Shuttle or making its own way back to Earth. If the STAR needed to reach higher altitudes beyond its on-board propellant capacity (which was estimated to be around 1650 kilometers), a truncated Centaur stage equipped with a single RD-10 engine - known as the Centaur-SP - could be attached to the STAR for increased thrust. This configuration would fit into the Shuttle's cargo bay, allowing for transport to geosynchronous orbit and beyond.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0_6lEjVgVg [Embed]"}, {"id": 319, "content": ">>311\nit IS a content farm anon\njust low effort clickbait to catch ad revenue"}, {"id": 320, "content": "real talk even if spacex solve the launch pad issue the stage separation is gonna be the next thing to solve, their current method is bonkers, imagine the fuel slosh they have to deal with that maneuver, not good for the engines"}, {"id": 321, "content": ">>313\n>you can't simply look at performance\nWhat if you simply look at performance?\nThe performance of the launch vehicle is tonnage to orbit at what cost.\nHydrocoper thinks wet mass is relevant given a fixed upmass when it's absolutely not"}, {"id": 322, "content": ">>318\n>space shuttles as fighter carriers\nWTF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN SO AWESOME"}, {"id": 323, "content": ">>311\n>>319\n>Excelent channel.

Angle of attack during Max-Q is purposely kept as low as possible, while during the flips it regularly approached 90 degrees - the worst case scenario for bending loads in the structure. Additionally, Starship was supersonic during most of the flips, which may cause stresses entirely masked by a dynamic pressure figure.\n\n>Nevertheless, at a first-order approximation, the data shows that, with all due respect to the aerostructures team, there is really nothing remarkable about SSH holding integrity throughout the tumbling phase. The aerodynamic environment it found itself in was largely benign, and it had ten kilometers of headroom in which to fall, all contributing to the perception of its ruggedness. The unfortunate reality is that most of humanity's rockets are and probably will continue to be analogous to tin-foil balloons, as the performance of Starship's aerostructure at the end of its tumbling phase proves.\n\ntl;dr Starship not breaking apart during spinning is expected according to this analysis"}, {"id": 571, "content": ">>541\nnot just how loud Starship is but how long it is that loud"}, {"id": 572, "content": ">>568\nthey can still spawn useful people through chance and thus could be used to filter to a population that is useful through eugenics"}, {"id": 573, "content": ">>570\nThis seems like he's fundamentally missing the point that any other rocket would have been ripped to shreds due to Al-Li tanks being weak shit compared to steel in shearing strength."}, {"id": 574, "content": ">>570\n>tin-foil balloons\nHas this nigger ever seen a 4mm plate of steel?\nYou couldn't damage it if you wanted to."}, {"id": 575, "content": ">>572\nThat was true a hundred years ago but much less so now."}, {"id": 576, "content": "Ummm, Artemisbros?"}, {"id": 577, "content": ">>482\nstill waiting for the switch to stailness steel lol"}, {"id": 578, "content": ">>559\nno need for solving.

Hundreds and hundreds of millions of complex molecular machines bouncing off each other, binding, releasing and storing energy and regulating itself.\n\nAll these extremely complex process rely almost entirely on the same fundamental set of rules…; Positive and Negative electrical charge, hydrophobic and hydrophilic affinities, collisions and kinetic effects.\n\nIf I told you that you had 4 “rules” called 1, 2, and -1, -2, and asked you to make the number “5,” you’d probably do +1, +2, +2.\n\nThose “rules” represent positive, negative, and etc., with the result “5” being the end result of these interactions between particles/ atoms/ molecules.\n\n5 is more complex that (1,2,-1,-2) by themselves- but it’s made up of them! It may seem like a separate more complex entity, but it’s simply the *emergent result* of adding the right basic functions in the right order to get the right result.\n\nIf you tried getting 5 by doing (-1)+1(-2), you’d just get -2. Multiple rules and interactions, but they’re the wrong kinds, wrong order, and thus wrong result.\n\nIt’s the same with biological processes. A phospholipid is a molecule that has a “hydrophobic tail” carbon chain with a “hydrophilic nitrogen head.” This basic arrangement will have the tail trying to avoid water molecules while the hydrophilic head tries to orient towards water molecules.\n\nIf you get a small number of these lipids, the hydrophobic tails will all orient towards each other, with the heads facing outward. A “bubble” forms, shielding the inside from its outer environment.\n\nThis more complex structure is like the number 5 from earlier. From many small simple things, a more complex structure results (the “lipid bubble”) with more complex behavior emerging (shields itself from water).

As these types of details are seldom discussed at length on /sci/ this is \"correct\" per our most up to date experimental observations, theories, and accepted physics. (2023)\n\nEnergy is a descriptor of dimensional spaces.\nTotal energy of the Universe is E=C^3 , which can only be quantified by a reference frame in a dimension above known 3 dimensional space-time.\nWithin the reference from of our Universe, the more known equation is the short form E=mC^2\nUltimately this is because the speed of light is the assumed max limit of vector quantities along an axis within space-time. Energy is only described in relationships of one object to another object, and these axes are the absolute axes of those potential vector quantities. Where the scalar quantities described, (mass) are the practical observed simplification of a vector quantity in a higher dimension.*\n*This is true for one interpretation of the forward-backward asymmetry solution, we need more data from large particle collider experiments to nail down the source of the FBA problem, but I ascribe to the implications of higher dimensional reference frames actually existing, and being more than just a virtual space in math calculation.\n(These theories are highly suggested by our current accepted models of reality, and can only be resolved as true for certain with more experimental evidence and resolution of related questions.)\nI also choose this explanation, because the other solutions for forward-backward asymmetry do not resolve easy answers for the mass<->energy<->speed of light relationship.\n-continued"}, {"id": 14, "content": ">>13\n>-continued\nplease don't\nenough with your retardation"}, {"id": 15, "content": ">>13\n>>14\nfuck this guy\nkeep going"}, {"id": 16, "content": ">>13\nGiven that mass and energy can be directly interchanged within our observable Universe, and we know that mass is a scalar quantity here, energy can be assumed to be the same.\n\nEnergy can not physically be described by a vector quantity from within space-time.\n\nYou would have to observe mass or energy from a reference frame, of n+1 in order to equate them to a cardinal axis for the purpose of being vector quantities.\n\nThe act of measuring whether something is energy or mass, is just differentiating that higher dimensional axis polarity.*\n*This is on assumption, based on what we know right now, for this one specific solution to the FBA problem.\n\nSo, energy could be thought of as some object's vector quantity in n+1 dimensions (So if you call our dimension 3D, call that dimension 4D.)\n\nIn 4D, energy from our 3D dimension, may be the equivalent of a 4D object moving to the \"left\", whereas mass would be that same 4D object moving to the \"right\".*\n\n*I have simplified the vector quantity down to right or left movement, understand that these are place holders for an actual vector quantity, and an axis which does not even exist practically in 3D space.\n\nYep, depending on the resolution to the Forward-Back Asymmetry problem, this may literally be what energy is.\n\nA vector quantity of a 4D object's movement through 4D \"space-time\".\n\nThere are implications for this reality, which imply the possibility that we may one day be able to \"uplift\" ourselves out of 3D space existence, and into 4D space existence instead.\n\nThose schizo crackpots who talk about 4D beings and 5D beings etc...

Mass can only be described in comparison to other mass, or the effect it has on the reference frame of space-time itself.\n\n10 Grams of mass is 10 grams of mass, what direction is the 10 grams of mass heading? Need something else for that, something to compare it in relation to. The 10* grams is just true*(scalar), but to establish a direction of movement a comparison must be made.\n\nIf you exist in 4D, that mass is now a vector value and is \"heading in a direction\" based on it's 3D magnitude.\nIt is no longer scalar, meaning having an independent magnitude. It is a vector quantity instead, and exists on a 4D axis that is not available in 3D space.\n\nComplications from these implications arise only out of the fact that we are not 4D observers, and don't know for sure if \"C\" as a max vector limit is the same for 4D beings as it is for 3D beings, but it's generally accepted that it is a safe assumption to make, because of light speed's alleged ubiquity in our Universe.

Bipedality in the first place, way back in the miocene and our split from chimpanzees, appears from the evidence to have been necessitated by the same thing in the mid-miocene. The arboreal supporting ecology up and fucking disappeared in the mid-miocene. Here, too, species don't just develop incredibly uncomfortable locomotion and persist in doing so to SUCH a degree they become obligate bipeds.\n\nFrom the mid miocene to the hellhole that has been the quaternary period, ancestors of the Homo genus suffered numerous extinctions.

It requires a lot of complicated analysis for them to see these effects, and is a skill which wasn't much needed in the past.

On the contrary, a 50% decrease has been reported after omitting face masks. The present study was designed to reveal any 30% or greater difference in general surgery wound infection rates by using face masks or not. During 115 weeks, a total of 3,088 patients were included in the study. Weeks were denoted as \"masked\" or \"unmasked\" according to a random list. After 1,537 operations performed with face masks, 73 (4.7%) wound infections were recorded and, after 1,551 operations performed without face masks, 55 (3.5%) infections occurred. This difference was not statistically significant (p greater than 0.05) and the bacterial species cultured from the wound infections did not differ in any way, which would have supported the fact tha the numerical difference was a statistically \"missed\" difference. These results indicated that the use of face masks might be reconsidered. Masks may be used to protect the operating team from drops of infected blood and from airborne infections, but have not been proven to protect the patient operated by a healthy operating team.\nt.

The models aren't accurate enough to extrapolate further or see the beginning, especially as pertains to gravity. We can guess based on fringe ideas like false vacuum decay, which would imply that the energy of the Big bang comes from one of the fundamental fields having been in a higher energy state and getting bounced out of it to fall lower and release it all into space-time when a sufficient energy density was achieved.

The idea that the Martian sky might be pink came from early data from the Viking landers. The Vikings had color cameras that could send back red, blue, and green versions of every scene; there were little reference charts attached to the landers so that the balance between the different colors could be properly established back on Earth. Unfortunately these charts were not visible in the first images from Viking 1, and so the color balance had to be done by guesswork. The result was a brownish-red surface with a grayish sky that, in some prints, came out as blue, and this was how Mars looked in the first pictures released to the press. A couple of days later pictures of the color chart on Viking 1 were obtained, and James Pollack—who had a keen interest in how much dust there was in the atmosphere—recalibrated the camera. Now the soil and rocks were red and the sky a dusty pink. This new unearthliness was not universally popular. According to William Poundstone’s excellent biography of Carl Sagan some people actually booed Pollack’s announcement, and the son of one member of the Viking biology team went round JPL retuning video monitors to make the sky look blue again. The shock wore off, though, and the pink skies soon became entrenched in the popular picture of Mars.\n>the son of one member of the Viking biology team went round JPL retuning video monitors to make the sky look blue again\nwas it autism?"}, {"id": 44, "content": "https://twitter.com/TitterDaily/status/1650636492950126613\n\nyet another exclusive spaces starship thing\nthe previous one was pretty shit though, I don't remember anything actually new coming up (maybe a tidbit or something, but thats pretty shit for a hour long spaces)\nI hope this time its more technical than going through the same motions once again like Musk has gone through for the last 10 years"}, {"id": 45, "content": "https://twitter.com/DrPhiltill/status/1650721993518448640"}, {"id": 46, "content": ">>45\nhttps://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/24/spacex-starship-explosion-spread-particulate-matter-for-miles.html\n\nbtw Lora Kolodny has a history of posting anti-Musk propaganda, so just based on that I think this is probably bullshit"}, {"id": 47, "content": ">>45\n>>46\nVery interesting, now face the wall."}, {"id": 48, "content": ">>46\nOH NO, NOT THE PIPING PLOVER"}, {"id": 49, "content": "Piping Plover bros..."}, {"id": 50, "content": "ESGhound giving his opinion"}, {"id": 51, "content": "SpaceX should've concreted the whole launch area so there would not be sand everywhere."}, {"id": 52, "content": ">>43\nKek, earfmen can't handle their illusions being shattered"}, {"id": 53, "content": ">>50\nKek’d at particulate emissions.

Back in my A&P courses, usually if there was a structure that had a difference between how it was in a male vs in a female we would have to learn the differences, know why/how the differences existed, and be able to correctly ID which was which on a lab exam - ie, there would be a pelvis on a table and we'd have to ID which sex it was from.\n\nMost of the sex-to-sex differences had to do with hormone differentials and, of course, to certain structures that only exist in 1 and not in the other (testis vs ovaries, obvious shit like that). Another example would be learning the average RBC/hemoglobin ranges for a man vs for a woman - that is also largely due to testosterone (body/long bone size also factors in but obviously there is a lot of variation with that) whereas you can expect a more consistent differential between avg female testosterone vs avg male testosterone.

Already models are being used to predict whether people should stay in jail or be released on bail; whether you should be rejected from insurance; many, many decisions at the drug-discovery and manufacturing level are being replaced with ML models.

And eventually, these models will begin making more complex decisions, which may surprise us, but we will follow those decisions because they give the desired output. And at that point, we will have handed over control to machines.\nWhen we decide to trust a model decision over our own intuitions, we no longer run our own lives, but live according to the machines decisions.

A gas of matter in a circle forms a hexagon- like an organic molecule- then copies itself losing 1/n in two dimensions. This defines all structures- all structures are in a 137 ratio to smaller structures.\nIf photons are bigger, they collide less and impact the external world more, and this is interpreted as the planck constant, which is the minimum photon that is detected with human tools.\nThe masses of elementary particles are meaningless because bond energy. Gravity holds atoms together, not the strong force. The gravitational constant is e-11, and G times two proton masses is e-65 at 1 meter and e-25 at the atomic radius. A quark is e-13 joules which is e20 planck units. There are nine structure constant powers between a quark and a planck photon. These are the eight flavors plus a base. The flavors are up, down for mass, two charges, then antiparticles.\nA photon travels between two quarks e27 or e13 times per second, if it follows a linear or oscillating path respectively. This averages toward the linear path to give the fine structure to the 9th power oscillations per second again.

The phenomenon of ring species provide a very nice counterexample, and they illustrate quite clearly why the concept of species cannot really be an equivalence relation, since interbreedability is not transitive in the case of ring species.

I did not say they can't interbreed. In a group of ring species there would be at least 3 subpopulations X, Y, and Z that exhibit varying level of pairwise genetic similarity, where populations X and Z exhibit a high level of genetic variation - sufficiently high, so that they cannot interbreed - but population Y is somewhere intermediate between X and Z, so that individuals in population Y can interbreed with individuals in population X and individuals in population Z.\n\n>If the chromosomes and genetics of the parents create sterile offspring then such a \"species\" would be extinct in one generation.\nThe off spring, in general, are not sterile, so this problem does not arise. Only specific subpopulations are incapable of interbreeding.\n\nThis is very interesting, and related to some of the deepest problems in contemporary evolutionary biology and mathematical biology. The phenomenon of ring species is closely related, mathematically and genetically speaking, to nature of evolution and speciation in ways that are still poorly understood. The reason ring species are interesting is that they provide us a way of studying the relationship between speciation and genetic similarity in real time, in a way that can't be done looking at the historical record."}, {"id": 11, "content": ">>9\n(cont. from >>10)\n\n\nWhat I mean is that, contrary to the pop soi understanding of evolution, species do not fall into well-defined, objective categories with clear cut boundaries. In fact, this is true not just of species, but all taxonomical categories. The boundaries are inherently fuzzy, and evolution would be biologically and conceptually impossible if this were not the case. Contrary to the pop sci understanding of evolution, there is not clear and objective boundary between any two related species. It's not like one day a homo erectus/homo heidelbergensis gave birth to the first ever homo sapien. That's not how evolution work. Species are not isolated, discrete categories with no overlap. There has to be some level of ambiguity in what constitutes a particular species, and their has to be some overlap between different species in order for evolution to be possible. Evolutionary processes that result in speciation are inherently gradual in nature. It's a process that unfolds over time, generation by generation. There is not single point at which you can say \"this individual is the first member of a new species\".\n\nOf course, studying that sort of phenomenon through the historical record is very difficult, but ring species help us better understand these ambiguities using species and individuals that are all alive here and now in the present day.\n\nAlso, studying these sort of ambiguities in a mathematically and scientifically rigorous way is often somewhat difficult, but generally still doable to some extent.

For example, it’s probably true that a small percentage of patients treated with SSRIs develop sexual dysfunction that does not resolve after the drug is stopped.

It is already possible to remote view and remote kill anyone who is a threat to certain forces, but these capabilities are not public and their existence is controversial for reasons outlined in the book 1984.

There's rather strong disagreement on this but I think the general notion that NPD can't be cured is sadly true. They take everything they learn and use it as further tools for manipulation. Someone with NPD would then just try to preemptively accuse others of being a narcissist as one method of trying to exert their whims and cover their own manipulations, and often on very arbitrary grounds.\n\nThe key difference is always superficiality and contingency. A narcissist so accused on the basis of specific falsifiable evidence would resort to schizophasia and manipulation tactics, including preemptively accusing others of what they're doing or qualities they have. People earnestly trying to understand or point out narcissism do so on the basis of very clearly communicated and very much falsifiable grounds, and generally not preemptively but descriptively. For example, it is possible my notion on the reactance from proof by contradiction is wrong. No strings attached. I'd just be wrong. My values or intuitions don't factor into it. For the narcissist there can be no such thing as \"no strings attached\", and if they're \"wrong\" it's only because they were actually right. That's why it's fucking impossible to cure them.\n\nThe difficulty of following such slim difference, especially in real time, is also why dealing with a real narcissist is fucking exhausting.

O'Neill's biography of Nikola Tesla includes a version of this story (date of the telling not given).\n\n>One version of the story has Tesla experimenting with a small version of his mechanical oscillator at his laboratory on 46 East Houston Street near the Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo. Tesla said the oscillator was around 7 inches (18 cm) long and weighing 1 or 2 pounds (450 or 910 g), something \"you could put in your overcoat pocket\". At one point, while experimenting with the oscillator, he alleged it generated a resonance in several buildings, causing complaints to the police. As the speed grew, he said that the machine oscillated at the resonance frequency of his own building and, belatedly realizing the danger, he was forced to use a sledgehammer to terminate the experiment, just as the police arrived. Other versions have Tesla smashing the device before the police arrive and have multi-ton equipment in the basement moving around. Another version has Tesla clamping an oscillator to a building under construction and causing it to vibrate so violently the steelworkers working on it left the building in a panic.\n\n>At the 1935 party, Tesla also claimed the mechanical oscillator could destroy the Empire State Building with \"Five pounds of air pressure\" (34 kPa) if attached to a girder and that he expected to earn $100 million from the oscillator within two years.\n\nwhat the FUCK was he thinking?"}, {"id": 2, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nClearly nothing rational due to senility"}, {"id": 3, "content": ">>2\n/thread"}], [{"id": 1, "content": "A couple months ago I took a bunch of LSD and adderall and made a bunch of posts on here about how atoms/subatomic particles were basically gyroscopes/clocks. I said that atoms store energy in their motion and that that implies that an object accelerated to near c would heat up and release radiation because the atoms wouldn't be able to store all the energy.\n\nTime is one of the most difficult concepts in physics to understand. If you study physics you will find that \"time\" can not be defined without movement. We prove \"time-dilation\" with atomic clocks. Atomic clocks are devices that detect transitions in the hyper fine ground state of cesium-133 atoms. These changes are caused by thermodynamic processes flowing in the direction of entropy.\n\nAll movement is a thermodynamic process. If you could pause time, you would cause the cesium atom to no longer change states, therefore if you can stop all these subatomic processes by removing energy, you can slow down or stop \"time\". You can also increase the passage of \"time\" by adding energy to the atom, thus increasing it's movement.\n\nWhat stops atoms from moving through each other? The movement and number of electrons in the electron cloud. An atoms mass is directly related to it's energy, which is directly related to the movement within the atom. As you remove energy, atoms can occupy less space, and when you remove all the energy (cooling to absolute zero), they can occupy the same space. As you add energy, the movement in the atoms increases causing them to expand further away from each other.\n\nThermal expansion/contraction and time-dilation are the same thing.

But they dared not tamper with it on American soil.\n>Then the CIA learned that on November 21 the Soviet exhibition was headed to the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City. An intercepted shipping manifest described “models of astronomic apparatus.” The dimensions of the crate matched the Luna rocket: 17 feet long and 8 feet wide. Jackpot. The CIA just needed several hours alone to disassemble, photograph, scrape the rocket for remnants of liquid fuel, and inspect the parts for factory markings that could give them intelligence on Soviet operations.\n>Eventually, they settled on a plan. Silveti and his team of spies would need to hijack the truck carrying the spacecraft on the evening it left the exhibition.

Magnetism is the fifth and fundamental phase of matter. Our Universe operates on Mass-time, not Space-time.\n\nThe short ride:\nImagine two points on a graph, A and B. Imagine those two points are the smallest two possible points which could be used to exhibit the quality of change (time) in a space. Imagine the smallest point that could move from point A to point B, across the shortest distance. It would have to be fast. The fastest “thing” in existence. So fast, in fact, that if it could be observed, it would be observed in both A and B simultaneously. Existing beyond the measurements of time and space.\n\nNow, imagine the fastest “thing” (I call it Shaylik) in existence that inhabits all points simultaneously (rendering dimensions/difference/change moot, for the moment) figures out how to take “the long way ‘round” by detouring into the 2nd and 3rd dimensions. That is how our Universe started.\n\nImagine: Origami, but instead of paper it is made with an incredibly long loop of fishing line (More like a chain too thin to see, but hopefully you get the idea) that cannot stop moving at top speed, folds into itself without actually colliding to create a relatively stable form & position in a 3-dimensional space. This is how energy becomes matter.\n\nFor those that want to try to math it out; Energy exhibits the characteristics of mass based on its rate of curve in three dimensions.\n\nAnother way to imagine it; Train cars in zero gravity, connected in loops/circuits and have no need for wheels. Just other train cars in front and behind. Always moving at top speed. How would such a train \"slow down\" and maintain some kind of relative position? How would such a system trade cargo between loops/circuits?"}, {"id": 2, "content": "The long ride:\nOur reality operates on Mass-time, not space-time. All our observations have been mass measuring smaller and smaller bits of mass. We have never actually measured “space” (a.k.a., a complete vacuum). To attribute space with such an important role as, “Bending”, is premature, I think. We can’t perceive it because we use mass to measure mass. We can not perceive the local mass warping because every method of measurement is also mass warping under the same local sub-atomic atmosphere.\n\nThe fundamental concept of “Attraction”, is an easy assumption to make, but I believe we have been fooled. For example; Magnets, a compounded scale field of sub-atomic fields working in unison, act just like suction cups, in that it is a pressure differential holding (pseudo-attracting/not-pushing) things together. It is just that magnets interact on a sub-atomic level, rather than an atomic level like the magdeburg hemispheres do.\n\nThe things that have been long described as particles are actually various somewhat stable forms of woven & nested wicker baskets of chains made of “change”."}, {"id": 3, "content": "As to the physical shape; Imagine a person playing with a hula-hoop. Now, imagine that hula-hoop to stretching and curving in on itself enough times (seemingly infinite) to keep being propelled by the Hula-hoop’ers hips. The Hula-hoop’er, being the neutron. One, if not the least-curved circuits of change. If you think anything like me, you come to the figure 8 breaking into 3 dimensions by overlapping with itself. Firstly, at the perpendicular angle from the central point of its previous orbit as the material is flung back into high orbit. Then, overlapping to fill the remaining space again. and again until no more can fit, then it overlaps into another 3-D figure 8, again and again. I call the basic shape a mirrored horn-torus which eventually curves into nested horn-tori and so-on into various forms of intricate string origami. Origami chains of change exerting a mild outward force from the orbiting nucleus. Thereby allowing infinite speed to flex into the long way round from point A to point B.\n\nOn to Change; The concept of time, is an invented instrument to measure the rate of change. Time is not a river, or another dimension. It is a seemingly infinite amount of of the basic/perfect incarnate unit of change colliding with itself and twanging its way into two and three dimensions. Thereby, the infinitely fast figured out how to slow down by going on a detour.\n\nThe 3-Dimensional mass of everything is surrounded and suspended by an “atmosphere”, albeit a scale more gentle, of Spaghettified 2-D “mass”. A.k.a., Dark Matter. Spaghettification is not just for black holes, it seems. It is the everything in-between the everything we know as reality.\n\n*Ding* Ah, this is my floor… Anyways, I hope you have fun thinking about all that."}, {"id": 4, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>2\n>>3\n>imagine\n>imagine\n>imagine\nIf you can't provide any practical examples your idea is shit, yes including 90% of math"}], [{"id": 1, "content": "Anything about CLO2\nhttps://rumble.com/v28e8t6--documentary-the-universal-antidote-the-science-and-story-of-chlorine-dioxi.html\nhttps://rumble.com/vflssx-how-to-make-cds-by-andreas-kalcker.html\nhttps://safrax.com/wp-content/uploads/Forbidden-Health-by-Andreas-Kalcker.pdf"}, {"id": 2, "content": "This is now a dichlorine monoxide thread."}, {"id": 3, "content": "I know a guy that died drinking CLO2 (internal lining burned from mouth to anus) and other that was mounting a machine to produce that shit at scale that inhale the gasses\nthere's a 3rd one that's still alive with kidney and stomach problems but don't want to admit CLO2 is the cause because he's a big famous adherent\n3rd world country btw"}, {"id": 4, "content": ">>3\nI Subscribe to your ted talk tell us more anon wtf.\nPeople inhaled this chemicals in your country?

His idea was to incentivize industry to build robotic Moon landers while NASA focused on getting humans back to the lunar surface. In this plan, NASA could pay companies to deliver science and exploration projects to the lunar surface, much as the agency does to send astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station. NASA began doling out contracts through the $2.6-billion CLPS programme, aiming to create a regular cadence of flights by small companies every year.\n\n> But CLPS has been slower to get going than expected; when it announced the programme in 2018, NASA optimistically estimated that the first lunar payloads could fly the following year. Many companies struggled to develop the promised hardware, however; some have gone out of business. “My disappointment, frankly, was that it was not fast enough,” Zurbuchen says.\n\n> Joe Landon, chief executive of Crescent Space, says his team has counted more than 100 proposed missions slated to go to the Moon over the next decade.

The role of the generator is to allow novel connection and ideas to form and the role of the discriminator is to modulate the generator. OCD and schizophrenia are correlated and there is some discussion on whether schizo-obsessive-disorder should be added to the DSM in recognition of their relation. The reason they could co-occur disproportionately is that they exist along a continuum where there is a duality between a discriminative aspect of the mind and a generative aspect of the mind. When synchrony between these systems is diminished there is greater potential for one to dominate over the other.

Basically the more gravity there is in some region of space the slower time goes. If you travel from a low gravity region to a high gravity one, then wait a bit, then travel back to the low gravity region you'll be in the future, because of the relative difference in the progression of time in those two regions.\n\nSo to travel into the future you can travel from earth to a region of space with much higher gravity, like a black hole, then sit next to the black hole for a while. Then after some time travel back to earth and you will be in the future because the time on earth was progressing faster than it was right next to the black hole. While you're next to the black hole time would feel normal for you though because everything is slowed down including all your biology and conscious perception. There's no instantaneous jumping between time periods and nothing is popping in and out of existence like in the movies\n\nBut you might be able to see from that that you can't travel backwards in time using this method.

Thats the first derivative\nBut then the derivative of the the speed must be zero (in one dimension) or the divergence of the speed must be zero (in 3 dimensions) because otherwise water would accumulate in some volume.\nSo the derivative of the derivative of pressure equals zero, for water under pressure, since its moving but at every volume there must be as much water coming in as its going out.\nWith heat its the same in equilibrium when the time derivative is zero, just replace water with heat in the analogy.\nSame thing with Gauss laws, electric field is treated as a fluid like speed of water"}, {"id": 11, "content": ">>10\nMore explicit on 1 dimension:\nYou have a flow of water in a pipe.

This means the derivative of the speed is zero.

Here, he was placed under the tutelage of Patrick Blackett, an experimental physicist later made famous for his work on cosmic rays and paleomagnetism. This was not a successful pairing; due to his own ineptitude in the laboratory, Oppenheimer became envious of Blackett’s skills as an experimental physicist. Indeed, Oppenheimer initially wished to study experimental physics, but was prevented from doing so because of his “clumsiness” in the lab.\n\nIn 1926, in a fit of psychological despair while on vacation in Corsica, Oppenheimer confessed to his two accompanying friends that he had to return to Cambridge immediately. The reason? Before he had left for vacation, he had coated an apple in noxious laboratory chemicals and placed it on Blackett’s desk. Oppenheimer wanted to make sure that Blackett was alright.\n\nFortunately, he was. Unfortunately, the university’s administration had been informed of his little “prank” and intended to press charges, because prestigious institutions like Cambridge usually look down on students murdering the faculty. It was only through the intervention of his parents that Oppenheimer wasn’t charged; indeed, he was placed on academic probation and ordered to undergo regular psychiatric evaluations.

Even babies that die in childbirth have to come to understand the feeling of being cold.

When you dream and wake up, you instantly realize that life is more real than your dreams. When you have an NDE, the same thing is happening, but on a higher level, as you immediately realize that life is the deep dream and the NDE world is the undeniably real world.\n\nOr as one person quoted in pic related summarized their NDE:\n\n>\"I remembered everything about eternity - knowing, that we had always existed, and that all of us are family.

This means in the near future, its possible for some startup to supplement what ESA or NASA does by building a better probe than either can due to access to a rate of innovation, engineering talent, capital, and modern and vertically integrated supply chains that lets them build a similar probe to what either can in half the time or 1/4th the time and 1/2 or 1/4th the cost.

One is just a reformulation of the other, and QFT has been around a few decades longer. This is what is mean when string theorists say, \"String theory is what it has to be.\" The theory has to be string theory because string theory is a different picture of QFT in the way that one might use the Schrodinger or Heisenberg pictures in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The Schrodinger picture has to be right because the Heisenberg picture is right, and vice versa.\n\nThe open question regarding string theory is whether there is a way to generate empirical evidence which will support an interpretation of actual, small, physical strings rather than letting strings be nothing but abstractions introduced to generate a Langlands-type reformulation of QFT. Is it merely a novelty? Or are there \"really\" strings?\nEverything that supports QFT empirically, which is a lot of evidence, basically all observed quantum phenomena to date, also supports string theory, so its empirical basis is very strong.

Listed problems include original ideas deserving further study as well as investigations of others' work when it may be germane. A longstanding and important conceptual hurdle in the approach to MCM quantum gravity is resolved. A new elliptic curve application is presented.

The study also aimed to compare those who sought professional help for their experience of AVH with those who had not sought help. Through a postal questionnaire, 2,533 participants ages 18 and over from a national survey completed the Launay‐Slade Hallucinations Scale and other measures examining AVH characteristics and other areas related to AVH. In total, 7.3% of the sample reported a life‐time prevalence of AVH. Those with AVH were more likely to be single and unemployed, reported higher levels of depression and anxiety, and experienced a higher number of severe life events compared with those without AVH. Only 16% of those who experienced AVH in the general population sought professional help for these experiences. Compared to those who did not seek professional help, participants that had were more likely to experience AVH with a negative content, experience them on a daily basis, undergo negative reactions when experiencing AVH, and resist AVH. In conclusion, the prevalence of AVH was found to be relatively high.

The launch is scheduled for approximately 2329-0026 GMT on 30th/1st (7:29-8:26 p.m. EDT on 30th). The three parts of the rocket will not return to Earth, as they usually do. Instead, they will sacrifice themselves to deliver the payload to a high orbit.\n\nOn May 2/3, we will behold another spectacle from the land of New Zealand, where Rocket Lab will launch its Electron rocket with two small satellites called TROPICS-3 and 4. These satellites are part of a mission by NASA, the agency that explores the heavens for the benefit of mankind.

That's because the Earth's moon is tidally locked to the Earth, showing us only one side. Given modern digital technology, however, combined with many detailed images returned by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), a high resolution virtual Moon rotation movie has now been composed. The above time-lapse video starts with the standard Earth view of the Moon. Quickly, though, Mare Orientale, a large crater with a dark center that is difficult to see from the Earth, rotates into view just below the equator. From an entire lunar month condensed into 24 seconds, the video clearly shows that the Earth side of the Moon contains an abundance of dark lunar maria, while the lunar far side is dominated by bright lunar highlands.

The hormonal cues and triggers that regulated the oestrus cycle were increasingly dampened to the point where ovulation became less frequent and the cycle itself began to stall. This scenario would have produced strong selection pressures to find an effective solution. If reproduction were becoming more difficult, any changes that would have enhanced fertility would have had more chance of being passed to the next generation. A chemical/hormonal trigger produced during copulation, sufficient to tip the balance from effective contraception to ovulation, would have been such a change that could have enhanced fertility.\n\n>If the flood of steroid inhibitors held the female reproductive cycle in a state of suspension, something would have been needed to induce ovulation. And, for maximum efficiency, ovulation would need to be induced at the time of mating. A physical mechanism, linked to a psychological/neurochemical one, may then have been the key to releasing the ovum in response to sexual stimulation. Orgasm, therefore, could have been a central part of this mechanism, acting for the female in the way that it still works for the male.\n\n>Intriguingly, it has recently been found that human semen contains hormones, such as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH) and estradial, which are known to induce ovulation. FSH actually causes the egg to ripen and burst out of the ovary. In comparison, these hormones are either not present (LH) or occur at much lower levels (FSH) in chimp semen. Roger Gosden, at the Center for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility in New York, says he and others are ‘mystified’ by human semen’s composition, but it makes great sense if mating stimulated ovulation."}, {"id": 10, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>It has no bearing the continuance of our species.\nIt increases the chance of conception by making the womb receptive and by muscle contractions drawing in semen."}, {"id": 11, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>9\n\n>As the model we have proposed suggests ever-increasing levels of melatonin, any solution to this fertility problem would need to keep pace. An increasingly powerful neuroendocrine response, linked with copulation to trigger the now stalled oestrus cycle, may have been the result. Specifically this would mean sufficiently powerful and sustained orgasmic states would have been needed to induce ovulation.\n\n>The human fertility cycle is usually portrayed as being regulated by a small number of key hormones and some neural feedback mechanisms: Cyclical increases in levels of steroids induce a surge of luteinising hormone that in turn triggers ovulation. Recent research has found that the picture is more complicated, with the brain itself playing a bigger role, particularly in regard to the release of luteinising hormone.\n\n>This neural regulation of luteinising hormone (LH) may be important. The part of the brain that helps to regulate fertility hormones, including LH, is the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is also involved in excitement and has direct connections to areas of the brain concerned with pleasure. Thus pathways seem to exist that link orgasm (excitement and pleasure) to neuroendocrine changes that induce ovulation. In the past, then, it is certainly tenable that orgasm may have stimulated ovulation but for this to occur, orgasm may have had to be intense and sustained.\n\n>In most circumstances today, the hormonal effects induced by orgasm are not powerful enough to induce ovulation, but some hormonal changes do occur. Orgasm is known to elevate LH and oxytocin. Oxytocin in turn increases steroid levels that can further stimulate LH production."}, {"id": 12, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>9\n>>11\n\n>There are physical effects of orgasm that are consistent with this model too. When a woman achieves orgasm just after the man, the cervix dips, scooping into the pool of sperm deposited near it. Female orgasmic contractions can also enhance the passage of spermatozoa towards the fallopian tube, thus increasing the likelihood of conception. Significantly, this is under hormonal control. Oxytocin is the hormone that stimulates smooth muscle tissue in the wall of the uterus and is associated with promoting labour and delivery (oxy = quick and tokus = childbirth). But circulating concentrations of oxytocin also rise in both males and females during sexual arousal and peak at orgasm. There is evidence that it stimulates, in males, smooth muscle contractions in the walls of the sperm duct and prostate gland, and in females, contractions in the uterus and vagina that promote sperm transport towards the uterine tubes. There is also evidence that the fluids released during female orgasm can also help sperm reach their goal. Female orgasm is then, at some level, still linked to mechanical function, but should it go one stage further and release the ovum too?"}, {"id": 13, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>9\n>>11\n>>12\n\n>>It would have been an absolute necessity for a powerful and efficient system of reproduction to be established to overcome the effects of increasing steroid inhibition. The increased inhibition may have directly impinged upon the ovulation mechanism. In addition, if there were a reducing window of sexual receptivity, the efficiency of the system would need to be maximised to ensure the continuance of the species. The primary role of orgasm in the female could therefore have been the induction of ovulation – a very efficient process. Orgasm may have had a very important secondary role too, for in a being that had a very pleasurable natural state of consciousness, a reward may have been necessary to encourage sufficient sexual activity for procreation. And orgasm may have become such an intense reward because the basic state of the mind of man ‘before the fall’ could have been of a different order than it is today. We may have been blissed-out on wild figs, bananas and beingness."}, {"id": 14, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>9\n>>11\n>>12\n>>13\n\n>If there were a link between orgasm and ovulation, this would of course invariably lead to conception. So is there any evidence that links orgasm to conception today? We would not expect to find an obvious correlation, but there is some anecdotal information available. There are cases in which it appears that particularly intense and/or prolonged orgasm have resulted in conception at ‘safe’ periods in the cycle. It has also been observed that prolonged intercourse and/or orgasmic states can induce slight bleeding. This may not occur immediately but it does within a day or so. It would seem therefore that the bleeding is not a result of tissue damage but would be similar to the slight bleeding that can occur with ovulation. ‘Susan X’, a client of hypnotherapist and author David Pedersen, relates how she had the most colossal orgasm she had ever experienced with her extramarital lover. This was followed by almost continuous intercourse for the next three hours, throughout which she maintained a huge sexual plateau that produced multiple orgasmic peaks. The following day she started what she thought was her period but it later emerged that she actually became pregnant as a result of this conjugation."}, {"id": 15, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>9\n>>11\n>>12\n>>13\n>>14\n\n>It is widely known, though rarely openly discussed, that for many women their ability to orgasm at all, let alone maintain a highly intense state for extended periods, seems to be a difficult area. In contrast, the rapidity of the male orgasm has been an issue for as long as anyone can remember. However there are exceptions: some female orgasms are much more intense than others. These tend to come about after a sustained level of sexual activity. And sometimes they can be accompanied by a female ejaculate. It has also been noted that high levels of testosterone and oestrogen are found in the bloodstream during these particularly intense orgasms. As we have already noted, elevated levels of these hormones stimulate LH production. This strengthens the possible link between ovulation and intense orgasm. More research on this unusual function is necessary to answer all the questions posed by the mere existence of these states, but we are left wondering how could these high orgasmic states, and their accompanying physiological alterations, have evolved if they were not at one time the norm? They couldn’t have been hanging around latent, just waiting for sexual researchers to discover them.\n\n>This part of our fertility theory intersects with our consciousness model, for ‘high orgasm’, as we may term it, could be primarily a right hemisphere function. The very intense states may no longer be available to the left hemisphere, and its dominance may be one reason why orgasm is suppressed in some women and difficult or even impossible to achieve. A change in dominance between the right and left hemispheres may also explain why sexual activity, and particularly orgasm, can take us away from our limited ego state into blissful transpersonal states of being."}, {"id": 16, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>9\n>>11\n>>12\n>>13\n>>14\n>>15\n\nTL;DR:\n\n>rich and hormonally active biochemistry from fruit dampened female fertility, stalling ovulation, necessitating a trigger\n>most efficient evolutionary solution was to trigger ovulation at the time of mating like males, this mechanism was female orgasm\n>human semen contains significant amounts of hormones that induce ovulation, unique among apes\n>the feedback cycle between the fruit biochemistry and our own neuroendocrine system became so strong that powerful and prolonged female orgasm was necessary\n>recent research shows brain is more involved in the fertility cycle than previously assumed\n>hypothalamus in particular is involved directly in both fertility and pleasure\n>today [after ~200,000+ years without nearly the same amounts of fruit biochemistry] the hormonal effects of orgasm typically don't induce ovulation, but they are still present\n>female orgasm causes cervix to dip and scoop up sperm, and the contractions promote sperm transport, releasing the egg itself too wouldn't be too far-fetched\n>again, due to ovulation stalling, orgasm might have been absolutely necessary to ensure fertilization, otherwise we'd have died out, and due to the increased general bliss from the hormonally rich fruit, extra pleasurable states would be necessary to incentivize copulation at all\n>there are many anecdotal reports of powerful orgasms inducing ovulation even today\n>female orgasm typically happen after sustained sexual activity, and intense female orgasms are known to be accompanied by high levels of testosterone and estrogen in the bloodstream\n>the disconnect between the hemispheres that has happened as a result of lacking the rich biochemistry of fruits our brains evolved on might to blame for intense orgasm no longer being as easily achievable for women [and certainly for ovulation no longer being stalled, due to the lack of steroid inhibition]"}, {"id": 17, "content": ">>8\nthe difference is (almost) no human woman could ever outrun a strong enough man. human women are physically outmatched in the human dynamic pretty much unlike lions"}, {"id": 18, "content": ">>6\nif you fuck a 16-25 year old girl when she's ovulating who hasn't ruined her body with pharmaceuticals she will get pregnant first try"}, {"id": 19, "content": ">>6\n>>8\nWrong.\nLions mate when a group of younger males attack an older pride, kill all the males and all the babies, then rape the females."}, {"id": 20, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nI would very much enjoy ejaculating on her face"}, {"id": 21, "content": ">>20\nToo bad you have a shrimp dick eh. \"The littlest nub\""}, {"id": 22, "content": ">>3\nOur high IQ makes it difficult to suffer the bullshit of women.

I am building an MVP of my startup using the GPT-3.5 API to replace clinicians with a chatbot interface. I plan on using random forests and decision trees to fine-tune the output of queries and use CNNs to allow patients to upload blood test images to the platform and get in contact with a nurse practitioner or MD. My goal is to replace specialized healthcare diagnosing and follow-ups that only require medication refills, which will greatly reduce friction in the healthcare space. Do you have any advice for me as I start coding the site?\n\nI have already conducted a SWOT analysis, and the largest hurdle I foresee is obtaining a license from the FDA to allow the platform to issue non-controlled substances. I do not want to be responsible for allowing my model to prescribe Adderall or methadone, even though I can automate background checks to prevent shopping from doctor to doctor. So, what do you think? Is this the ultimate robodoc? I had the idea back in 2019 and used the NLTK (Python library) and did some web scraping from Wikipedia to gather data tokens for building an MVP, but using the GPT API is much better, and I'm ready to develop.\n\nFor reference, my GAI is 112 (PRI is 126), and while I have lower verbal skills, programming uses fluid and GC (crystallized intelligence), so I'm fine.

Even if the lander has the ability to carry 100 kilograms of samples, he suggested that there might not be room for them in Orion.\n\nSome attendees seized on a footnote in one chart Chavers presented that stated the Orion capsule “does not have specific storage” for samples. “Sample return mass to Earth via Orion might require mission-by-mission decisions on storage within Orion and possible considerations for different sample return container/bag design,” it stated.\n\n“We haven’t conceded that it’s zero back on Orion yet, we just don’t know what the capability will be,” he said. However, he also said there may be the need to study alternative mechanisms for getting samples back, such as a robotic sample return vehicle delivered to the moon on a CLPS lander.\n\nThat did not go over well with some. “It’s getting very complicated,” said Clive Neal, a lunar scientist at the University of Notre Dame, during a discussion that followed Chavers’ presentation.\n\nChavers said studies of sample return options are ongoing, including meetings at the Johnson Space Center next week on what Orion will be able to accommodate. “The message is: this is just the starting point. It’s not the end.”\n\nThe threshold amount of 26 kilograms of samples is only slightly more than the 22 kilograms returned by Apollo 11 during a single two-hour moonwalk. Apollo 17 returned about 110 kilograms collected during three lunar excursions.\n\n“I’m expecting it to evolve,” Neal said later of the sample return capabilities of Artemis.

When you dream and wake up, you instantly realize that life is more real than your dreams. When you have an NDE, the same thing is happening, but on a higher level, as you immediately realize that life is the deep dream and the NDE world is the undeniably real world by comparison.\n\nOr as one person quoted in pic related summarized their NDE:\n\n>\"As my soul left my body, I found myself floating in a swirling ocean of multi-colored light. At the end, I could see and feel an even brighter light pulling me toward it, and as it shined on me, I felt indescribable happiness. I remembered everything about eternity - knowing, that we had always existed, and that all of us are family.

It tells about the death of a woman. This woman, who died long ago, was one of the primordial twins. She was half of the divine syzygy. The purpose of the narrative is the recollection of her and of her death. The Mind does not wish to forget her. Thus the ratiocination of the Brain consists of a permanent record of her existence, and, if read, will be understood this way. All the information processed by the Brain -- experienced by us as the arranging and rearranging of physical objects -- is an attempt at this preservation of her; stones and rocks and sticks and amoebae are traces of her.

But explaining matter in terms of mind (idealism) is not epistemically symmetric with explaining mind in terms of matter (materialism) because mind and matter do not reside in the same level of explanatory abstraction. In fact, mind is the ground within which, and out of which, abstractions are made. Matter, in turn, is an abstraction of mind. This breaks the epistemic symmetry between them: we do not know matter in the same way that we know mind, for matter is an inference and mind a given. So what you've done is conflated abstraction with empirical observation! Mind is the substrate of the explanatory abstraction we call matter, so when you speak of a mind-matter dichotomy you incur a fundamental category mistake!

The number of orbital-capable launch firms has leaped from a couple to more than a dozen, and the cadence of U.S. orbital launches has moved from monthly to weekly, with this trend accelerating upward on a non-linear curve. That is good news for satellite operators, the broader commercial space industry, and the U.S. government. NASA, NRO, and Space Force can do more for less in a highly competitive market. However, as multiple new rockets move towards testing and some to operations, America’s limited number of coastal spaceports have become the choke point.

Simply choosing without justification \"that which can be calculated\" isn't a justification, it's an excuse.

He still uses lengths, and still uses points, and therefore has no grounds to justify rejecting irrationals as they must exist somewhere on any given line.

It's largely a product of behavior and habit, creating a feedback loop. The more you indulge in sexual behavior, the stronger the libido. My frequency of masturbation drastically increased in my 20s because I had free time and started watching pornography then. In my teenage years, I never went to any porn site and masturbated once a week. This makes no sense from a hormone reductionist standpoint as puberty occurred at age 12 and the years that followed had the highest levels of androgens. If it simply was a function of testosterone, this would not be the case. To add, I also tried drinking mint tea, which exerts antiandrogenic effects, for a few months to deal with libido to no success. Contrary wise, anabolic steroids such as oxandralone and testosterone had no effect on my libido.\nThe only solution for reducing it involves addressing the root cause and reducing exposure to stimuli that provoke it in the first place and from there, reducing length and frequency of indulgence. Even thoughts need to be diligently controlled so as not to return to memories of sexual concepts/images/events/fantasies. Planning your day and utilizing your time wisely to goal oriented behaviors like learning and studying can help occupy your new time. Once you have done this the best drugs for reducing libido are dopamine releasing agents which increase executive functioning and lower libido. People errenously claim these increase the sex drive but this is factually faulty. They engaged in onanism or coitus on them at one point and instilled conditioned place preference thereby associating the drug with sexual behavior leading to state dependant hypersexuality. I do not have the study present but one involving rodents, showed a decrease of mounting behavior and copulatory activity until they were forced and 1/2"}, {"id": 47, "content": ">>46\n2/2 and thereafter with conditioned place preference instilling habitual association with the drug and behavior they were copulating at rates higher than control. In absence of this association, amphetamine lowered libido. Such will be the case if you get a prescription for it and use it wisely as a means to avoid sexual stimuli. Executive functioning will be increased and your prefrontal cortex will be stimulated enough to not want to indulge in anyways. You'll find it easy then with the behavioral techniques I've described to avoid incurring aroused states and falling into masturbation and fruitless sexual escapades. I suggest a low dose such as 10mg IR. Furthermore adjuncts like nicotine and green tea aid in exerting greater executive control and synergize well with it to keep the mind intellectually elated. The end result is you'll make a habit of the good behaviors done on this combination which will serve to extinguish or reduce previous sexual behaviors. Finally, lions mane mushroom is great on top of all this and it seems to reduce libido slightly as well. If you feel aroused with morning wood, this can be prevented with GABAB agonists like baclofen and phenibut."}, {"id": 48, "content": ">>unknown\nword filter for S *O*Y"}, {"id": 49, "content": ">>48\nWord filter does not apply to the name field.

Base editing, for example, can convert one single DNA letter to another, and a technique called prime editing allows researchers to insert DNA sequences more predictably than CRISPR-Cas9 editing. Neither of these methods cause double-strand breaks, but they have not been as thoroughly studied and optimized as CRISPR-Cas9. At the summit, developmental biologist Yuyu Niu at the Kunming University of Science and Technology in China reported that one kind of base editor did not cause off-target DNA mutations in rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) embryos, but it did cause unwanted RNA mutations.\n> An alternative to editing embryos would be to instead edit gametes, such as eggs and sperm, or the stem cells that give rise to them. This would also sidestep concerns that efforts to edit embryos might not succeed in all cells of the embryo, resulting in offspring that contain a mixture of edited and unedited cells. Several researchers at the summit reported progress towards generating gametes in the laboratory, but doing this with human cells destined for reproductive uses still poses challenges.\n> The summit organizers urged that researchers continue to explore each of these options, even as policy makers and the public grapple with what restrictions should be placed on heritable genome editing.. “We are still keen that the research goes ahead,” said developmental biologist Robin Lovell-Badge of the Francis Crick Institute in London, who chaired the organizing committee for the summit. “In parallel, there has to be more debate about whether the technique is ever used.”"}, {"id": 2, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nWhen will it be commercially avaible?"}, {"id": 3, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nHuman testing is necessary.

Mathmaticans do this within a system of logic. The interesting thing is there are many systems of logic, each with their advantage and disadvantages.\n\nThere are two really interesting and desired qualities a system of logic can have, completeness and consistency. The first, completeness, means that all statements can be proven or disproven. For example, take the Collatz conjecture. No one has managed to prove or disprove it yet. It would be really annoying if people spent years trying to prove or disprove it, only to find out that they could never have done so in their chosen system of logic.\n\nThe second, consistency, means you can never prove a two things that are contradictory. Imagine that mathematicians proved the statement \"there are infinite primes.\" Then, another mathematician produced a proof that said \"there are a finite number of primes.\" Uh oh! That would mean that the system of logic is not consistent, which is really bad.\n\nGiven these two really important properties, mathematicians are very careful when selecting their system of logic. Mathematicians want a system of logic that is both complete (you can prove or disprove any statement) and consistent (no contradictions).\n\nGodel's incompleteness theorem has bad news for mathematicians. If you are dealing with numbers, you can only have at most one -- either completeness or consistency (or neither). Given how awful inconsistency is for mathematics, most mathematicians will opt for consistency. But it gets even worse. You can never prove that a system is consistent within itself. So mathematicians cant even know they have consistency. Poor mathematicians."}, {"id": 21, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n- Firstly, there are several theorems.\n- Secondly, it's a metalogical theorem, so we operate on two levels. You typically view the metalogical level as the normal level, and you study some axiom system as if it's algebra. As some mathematical tool you might want to adopt to be a little bit more clear and sure about your formal proofs etc.\n\n- So on the one hand, they concern theories T recursively enumerable set of axiom (meaning you can write a program that lists the axioms - there might be countably infinite of them, such as when you adopt an axiom schema, such as a Indcution in Peano arithmetic of Separation in set theory.)\n- On the other hand, they concern T-independent propositions. Those are some statements 'P' such that the theory T neither proves nor 'Not P'.\n- The main tool invented for the proof is, in essence, programming language theory. For the proof of the first theorem, we don't need the Gödel's full language, however. We just need to know about primitive recursive (p.r.) functions. In effect, they correspond to fixed size for-loops. E.g. you can code function taken an n and then you're allowed to do arithmetic operations with n, say map it to n^7, and then do a for-loop of depth n^7.\n- The theories T we consider aren't merely required to have axioms we can run through, they also need to be able to encode arithmetic. Particularly, the arithmetic axioms they need to be able to encode are those of Peano arithmetic (rules about how zero, equality, addition and multiplication relate to each other) and the predecessor existence claim. Call those axioms Q"}, {"id": 22, "content": ">>21\n- Meta-analyticaly, we define a proof as a chain of statements such that the inference steps steps from one entry to the next are valid w.r.t. the axioms. A meta-logical analysis convinces us quickly that checking a given proof for various properties is something we can write a p.r. function for. In particular we can check if a given list is indeed a valid proof and we can check what it's a proof of\n- Some more or less heavy recursion theory (all this shit is introduced by young Gödel in the 30's) shows that if you have a p.r. function/program f in the metalogic (partial recursive, in fact), then in Q you can define predicates G_f(x,y) representing the graph of f, i.e. the a-ary predicate f(x)=y. And for any given numbers X and Y in the metalogic, Q proves the G_f(X', Y') exactly when f(X)=Y (here X' denotes the numeral in the object language that we associate to X in the meta-language)\n- The above means that if in the meta-logic we'd identify a proof of a theorem (input and output pair), then we know Q represents this truthfully\n- Predicates and propositions are enumerated. For a predicate P, call the associated number n_P\n- Gödel comes up with a diagonalization function d: N->N repackaging the numbers, as in\ndiag(n_P) = n_{P(n_P)}\n- You then look at the predicate U(n) expressing \"There is no proof of the diagonalization of the predicate P underlying n_P\"\n- Then, because you convinced yourself that Q represents proofs accurately, G=U(n_U) cannot consistently be provable\n- Assuming T is consistent, G is not provable, and neither is Not G\n- Further, again assuming T is consistent, you can argue that G expresses something true, and in that sense G is true (but not provable)\n- Also, assuming LEM in the metalogic, you may argue either G or Not G holds. From that few there's something true but unprovable in the theory\n\n- This applies to all theories expressing G\n- G is \\Pi_1^0\n- The second theorem...

I'm some one actually working on this. I'm a member of a research group (a rather junior member to be fair) that works on understanding and interfering with the mechanism of ageing.\nTo start us off, it IS theoretycally possible to significantly increase longevity. Research on this is ongoing in several labs all over the world, and there are several approaches. We know what things cause ageing, we just don't know which of the 9 key haulmarks of ageing are the most significant. There are currently two competing models, the oxidative stress model of ageing and the transposon model of ageing. The later seems to bo winnig so far, and it is what i too am working on.\nA quick rundown of ageing: varius things cause DNA damage, like reactive oxygen species, copying errors, telomer degradation, transposon activity, transposase activity, etc... DNA damage then causes reduiced function of the proteome, which increases all sources of DNA damage, in a self streangthening process. This leads to stem cell exhaustion, breakdown of the immun system and cell-cell communication, acumulation of senescent cells, interfearence with housekeeping hormones like GH, all of which lead to the classical symptoms of ageing.\nWe posit that the key factor is the activity of younger transposon families. Transposons are evolutionary junk in our DNA which can like viruses use the regular mechanisms of cells to copy themselfes, but then insert themselfes into our DNA, causing exponentila mutagenezis. Many of the more intact ones code for transposase, an endonuclease, which in ofitslef is mutagenic. Targeting transposons is very hard because they are highly polymorphic, but we think we may have found a way, so in the comeing years we will see how much this contributes to ageing via a C. elegans longevity study. Hopefully we can beat the current record of an 8fold increase in lifespan.\nFor a more detailed explanation, ask away, or read the relevant literature."}, {"id": 20, "content": "Why do you feel the need to announce you are \"from /lit/\" you utter wanker.

They all have one thing incommon, activity of the PIWI piRNA pathway, which is responsible for silencing transposons. It is also active in immortal mamaian cell lines like the germline and cancers.\n>>6\nAn interesting idea, but an abstraction far from what actual longevity research looks like. We examine the molecular pathways to see how the system breaks down and try to fix the problems.

So the body deals with them in tearms of epigenetics, H3K27 and H3K9 histon trymethylation. This however is reversable, it happens naturally, slowly with time, and is spead up by another epigenetic mark i'm not allowed to name untill the we publish (final round of revision is over, it's in preprint). This speeds up removal of methyl pattern, and activates the transposons. They then cause DNA damage at an exponential rate. Affected cells become sensecent, cytoplasmic DNA builds up which along with the misfolded proteins on MHCI activate the immune system. This clears the sensescent cell, but it also is an increase in activity for NF-kB (a part of immune signaling). As you age this kind of event is more and more frequant, cells go senesncent faster than the clearance, which slows down, NF-kB levels reach a threshold at whic it interfears with production of GH (a hormone that is to do with bone, skin and cartilage maintenance) causing further problems. Tissues around senescent tissue become senescent to help prevent cancers, but this way a lot of your functional tissues also become useless, and inflamed.

The statement it is possible is equivalent to the statement that during these billions of years of life time, you will never suffer an accident, will never be fatally attacked, and you will always have resources/energy to sustain yourself.\nThese three demands *are* feasible to realize, but only if the numbers of external actors acting on you approaches zero. Most people would not deem living a billion years but without a society surrounding them, or any kind of social stimulus, satisfactory. This goes for all kinds of variables, btw. (the less, the better), but the question of actors makes this an especially non-deterministic prospect.\n\nNow let us regard the last case: biological immortality on lifespans significant vice-versa an organism. Let's posit 10k years.\nThis is, possible but again, everything above still applies, though the likelihood of anything deadly happening is distinctly smaller. However, in discussing biological immortality I implicitly take up a different aspect: whereas in the above billion years scenario we likely regard your substratum as (almost wholly) non-natural-evolution based (i.e. for example a substratum in silico or a perfected carbonic bionic platform), with this latter scenario we imply we are still talking about an essentially similar homo sapiens, or Earth vertebrate, substratum. These have the issue of having brains that can develop dementia -- if not due to anything else, then due to random chance. The same applies for accidents that may damage your brain, thus essentially undesirably extremely altering if not outright removing you as a consciousness.\nThus, your long lifespan would be rendered unusable, even though the body sans brain perfectly aligns with the demand \"longevity + health + youth\"."}, {"id": 59, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>Do you think immortality is theoretically possible?\nDepends on your definition.

By gradually replacing your brain cells with nanomachines you could extand your lifespan into million of years, as only catastrophic damage could kill you.

Cylinder A had inside, before the transfer, 17 kilograms of LPG. I know that by subtracting the rated weight of the cylinder, listed at 19,7KG, to the whole weight I measured on a body scale, 37KG. That would be then 37-19,7=17,3KG, let's round it to 17.\nNow, cylinder B was empty, I mean I literally fully opened the valve and let it vent everything to open air.\nSo, I weighed the empty cyl.B and it's weight is 15,4Kg. Then I carefully arranged the two canisters like pic related, connected with an appropriate flex hose, and slowly partially opened both valves. I saw early on the freeze cooling of the valves, then when they went to normal temperature, fully opened them and let them transfer slowly for about an hour.\nAfter the whole operation, I closed valves and detached the hose. As expected, some liquid LPG escaped slowly, vaporizing instantly. Then I weighed the \"full\" cylinder B: 22,2KG, so only some 7-odd kilograms of LPG went into the gas cylinder. I did't expect a fully loaded cylinder (I usually charge it with about 16 Kg), but 7KG of LPG is kinda of... too little?\nYes of course I know that charging a gas cylinder involves a PRESSURIZED charge so they squeeze in the LPG overcoming any other antagonist pressure, but I thought that, putting the donor cylinder A upside down, in a upper position, slowly the LPG should have transfered, once the pressure stabilized, like a liquid into cylinder, almost filling it, hence why I waited an hour or so leaving them transfer.\nWhat happened there?

Mohs, is microscopically controlled surgery used to treat both common and rare types of skin cancer. During the surgery, after each removal of tissue and while the patient waits, the tissue is examined for cancer cells. That examination dictates the decision for additional tissue removal. Mohs surgery is the gold standard method for obtaining complete margin control during removal of a skin cancer (complete circumferential peripheral and deep margin assessment - CCPDMA) using frozen section histology. CCPDMA or Mohs surgery allows for the removal of a skin cancer with very narrow surgical margin and a high cure rate.\n\nThis procedure is specifically designed to avoid the possibility of making the wound 20 bigger than the thing that was being removed.

Rather than examining each section of tissue for cancer, he could have examined it for whatever coagulating poison got injected.

Moreover, with high confidence, we can rule out the existence of any common SNPs whose dominance effects explain more than a negligible fraction of the variance in EA.\n>Power calculations indicate that, at genome-wide significance, we had 80% power to detect dominance effects with an R2 of 0.0015% (Supplementary Note).

The addictive properties of milk were arguably designed by evolution to gratify suckling young. The gut of newborns is highly permeable—not only to the mother’s antibodies as an aid to their still immature immune system, but also to milk opioids (see Teschemacher, 2003). Yet, production of the enzyme for properly digesting milk is genetically programmed to stop after weaning. Regular intake of milk by adults is evolutionarily novel and only started with animal domestication; it was permitted by a mutation of this enzyme in populations that kept cattle. Interestingly and perhaps worryingly, the opioids in bovine milk are 10 times stronger than those in human milk (Herrera-Marschitz et al., 1989). This might not be extraneous to the fact that about half of children up to 4 years of age need their milk bottle to fall asleep at night (in Thailand: Sawasdivorn et al., 2008). Note that, as mentioned, the opioids in wheat are even stronger than those in bovine milk (Zioudrou et al., 1979).\n>Evidence that a diet devoid of wheat (and possibly of dairy as well, given the similarity between gluten and casein) can cure some patients with mental illness has been available for nearly 50 years.\nWhat is the refute for milk causing brain damage?

During the surgery, after each removal of tissue and while the patient waits, the tissue is examined for cancer cells. That examination dictates the decision for additional tissue removal. Mohs surgery is the gold standard method for obtaining complete margin control during removal of a skin cancer (complete circumferential peripheral and deep margin assessment - CCPDMA) using frozen section histology. CCPDMA or Mohs surgery allows for the removal of a skin cancer with very narrow surgical margin and a high cure rate.\n\nThis procedure is specifically designed to avoid the possibility of making the wound 20 bigger than the thing that was being removed. That's what \"narrow surgical margin\" means. It is the \"gold standard\" for that. This piece of shit who started all of this with his medical malpractice was not practicing medicine when he fucked my face up. He was practicing falsehood. Rather than examining each section of tissue for cancer, he could have examined it for whatever coagulating poison got injected. This is the \"gold standard\" for avoiding the problem he created with his malpractice, and which was then compounded by his denial of malpractice to the extent that the way he fucked my face up is 100 times worse now.

Just in case anyone wants an overview it mostly pertains to fitness landscapes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitness_landscape\n\nWhere this interested me a lot was as an applicable solution to objectively testing the idea of a kind of \"overfit\" of adaptation we talked about some threads ago, the notion that the more specialized a species the more vulnerable it might be to extinction, and that article about how difficult of an idea it is to test in spite of how it intuitively seems to be true.\n\nhttps://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-simple-computational-model-of-the-evolution-of-a-Suzuki-Arita/78cd082b43f0a5387d7bd2471b13a4c86c08a497\nAnd a neat paper on communication re dynamic fitness landscape navigation.

Further, and for brevity I have to simply assert this rather than explain the whole chain of reasoning, leading to possibly testing if intelligence may in fact a necessary adaptation as a product of other inherent limits such as corresponding population sizes and mutation rates. I've often wondered about the correlation between organism complexity/size and the sharp drop off as you go \"higher up\", or more derived, along the phylogenic bush i.e. with respect to genome size.\n\nTo clarify I am not simply referring to the original discovery on genomic size correlates and mutation rate or adaptive fitness, as there's more at play than genome size exclusively and so the correlation would largely represent indirect effects rather than strict causal role. I can't find much on this in the sense I mean it either but I think research is inching in the direction I'm talking about. Namely, that like intelligence as a way to manage more complex domains of dynamic fitness landscapes, it is necessary as the genome achieves some phenomic range threshold. That is, how many non-additive and additive effects in the population are required to survive, and like mutation rate limits there is probably some kind of structural limit on how many combined effects can be achieved. Hard to explain. Can't find papers on it.\n\nThe adaptivity and stability of an organism in some given dynamic range definitely has limits, and as an adaptation intelligence seems most suited to driving self-selection within those ranges. The less able an organism is to remain genetically stable to adapt well, the broader the domain of behavior needs to be, and so the more intelligent the organism needs to be to self-select toward the nearest viable local optimum. Or so goes the idea this all gave me."}, {"id": 7, "content": ">>6\n>>5\nMaybe you could help find such a relevant paper but I hit a pretty dead dead-end myself on it.

Resting state FC is also relevant for what I mentioned before regarding AD pathology and in my opinion etiology https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnagi.2020.596122/\nIt is not coincidental that AD is highly sporadic and highly heritable and yet educational attainment shows such significant modulating effect on entropy (BEN).\n\nSo like with attractor networks and stochastic system analysis, the stability and strength of attractor is reinforced by use and the more variable the uses the stronger the varied attractors hence AD resistance.\nAlso interesting is another study I was reading with regard to loss of sensitivity to perturbation https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007790\n\nThing is I couldn't find any research with respect to proposing the crazy idea that systems collapse is the actual cause. AD is a multifactorial multi-presentation disease without singular biochemical pathways, but instead defined by some relative threshold of multistable attractor destabilization. That has biochemical correlates but would not have distinct biochemical cause except very rarely. I have not discovered anyone bold enough to state this hypothesis but it makes sense to me.

On the other hand, for a disease with a high prevalence (K >10%), a large proportion of disease cases seems to have a family history, P(sporadic II) <37% (Figure 2b), even when disease heritability is extremely low (hL2=10%).\nrelative risk for relatives depends on prevalence and heritability just as a matter of probability\n\nThat image you posted has nothing to do with family relative risk"}, {"id": 17, "content": ">>16\nYou are wrong."}, {"id": 18, "content": ">>17\n>You are wrong.\nyou wish you dishonest cunt.\nthis is your source for that image https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4412738/\n\"The contribution of genetic variants to disease depends on the ruler\"\nliterally a study devoted to pointing out how all the various measures are implying very different things in very different ways and none of which independently make sense without context.\n>Here we benchmark using baseline disease risk = 1%, sibling recurrence risk = 8.8, together consistent with heritability of liability of 81%.31 As above, the common low risk variants explain a small percentage of the measures evaluated here (Figure 3d—green lines). By contrast, the CNVs give extremely different results across these measures (Figure 3d, red and black lines). This is especially apparent for the CNVs at 16p11.2 and 22q11, which both are rare (RAF=0.0003) and have very large effects on schizophrenia (RRs>25). Due to their rarity these explain a modest proportion of heritability, genetic variance, and AUC (<0.5%); but their large impact on disease results in much higher proportions of approximate heritability (>5%) and sibling recurrence risk (>7.5%) (Figure 3d, Table 2). Thus, when looking at all 32 schizophrenia variants (24 GWAS and 8 CNVs), estimates of the heritability, sibling recurrence risk, logRR genetic variance, and AUC explained give very different messages about the variants’ impact on this disease. While the variants explain only 2.5–3% of heritability or logRR genetic variance, and 5% of AUC, they are estimated to account for up to five times as much of the approximate heritability and ten times as much of the sibling recurrence risk (Figure 2d, Table 2).\ntwo things are both true 1. most cases are sporadic 2. an extremely small minority of high risk variants account for most of the recurrence risk\n\nthose are not contradictions and if you ever bothered to read your own study you'd know that"}, {"id": 19, "content": ">>18\n>most cases are sporadic\nwrong\n>an extremely small minority of high risk variants account for most of the recurrence risk\nwrong"}, {"id": 20, "content": ">>19\nyour own study says I'm right lmao fucking cope"}, {"id": 21, "content": ">>unknown\nqq"}, {"id": 22, "content": ">>5\n>most cases of complex phenotype disorders are sporadic\nFor all disorders or behavioral.disorders specifically?
