Kill yourself and afterwards go ask /adv/

oh wow duuuuuuude!!!! omg thats like sooooo deep and intellectual!!!! your so smart!!! you're like totally a philosopher and stuff or something!!!!

>>16168431
science is just natural philosophy chud

i care about getting another break from "normal"

they created the H5N1 reddit last fall, so about 4 more months

>>16168367
approximately 14 days

Whatever happened to those deadly covid variants? I was promised a second pandemic

>>16168350
No. I take 10mg and day and it simply keeps me from spiraling into a negative thought patterns that haunt my every waking moment. The stuff turned my life around.

>>16168408
Do you not find the effects just simply go away after several weeks though? Like after 3 weeks the only thing I get out of it is mildly better sleep patterns.
It's only during the initial "come up" that it actually feels good and is very noticeable.

I have done a lot of ecstasy, mdma, lsd, dxm, etc and this is obviously no where close to as powerful but obviously no psych lasts a week+ at a time like escitalopram does.

Unfortunately the tolerance seems to build very fast and due to the long half life it seems near impossible to lose tolerance.

>>16168337
So What? You're making a robot "maid" wife? Kindof gives me the ick.

>>16168337
Didn't found so much about it but what makes this language even interesting?

>>16168337
Oh I thought this said paid research. Didn't see any pay, reread and saw it's maid research. Dammit!

Working on an assembler for MAIDS (Meta Assembly Instruction Definition System).

MAIDS takes code written in MAIDS (Meta Assembly Instruction Definition Syntax) and makes machine code. It also performs memory safety checks, so the compiler doesn't have to because if you write code which isn't memory safe, MAIDS won't assemble it.

Now when you make a compiler, you use MAIDS as a compilation target. If MAIDS can assemble the MAIDS code your compiler generated, then your program is memory safe.

With this design of moving memory safety checks to the assembler rather than the compiler, you can make a system where all compilers basically get memory safety for free, by virtue of compiling to MAIDS.

So now, you are a maid who wants to make a C-like compiler for example. So you write your compiler and it generates MAIDS code and now you have C-Like for MAIDS. C-Like for MAIDS compiles to MAIDS, and then you assemble it with MAIDS for RISC-V or MAIDS for x86 or whatever you need, so long as a MAIDS implementation exists for it, and you get memory safe machine code that runs on whatever you chose.

>>16168744
PILOT was designed to be a minimal systems language for old computers. You can make compilers/assemblers/operating systems with it. I got a lot of ideas for MAIDS by reading about PILOT and if I can see a lot of PILOT example code it might cause more ideas and make MAIDS better.

I don't have any money. My Science Foundation doesn't get grants or anything like this. This is fine though, because computers, pens, and paper are all cheap and abundant. If you are approximately forty or older, there is a good chance that you own a personal computer which is more powerful, possibly by orders of magnitude, than Super Computers which were, during your own living memory, considered capable of nearly miraculous things.

Part of the purpose of my life is to remind people they have Super Computers and ask them, please use it to compute something.

you sure do seem to like talking about yourself on social media

>>16168339
sure do, but I do wonder what kind of script counts instances of "I" and automates a response. Or are you really that bored and reply with that to most posts that do that?

Darwin's terminology has fallen in disuse, but I feel like the key phrase here is "without any further information"

maybe it's just reality do bein bein doin do like that and also the other thing? probably if there's a 0 and a 1 the answer is usually both

who understands the mind if they don't understand control?

make a super computer and it could just lie about what order of magnitude of actual work it reeeeally did

suppose waht I mean is that anyone that could control earth would either definitely die trying or lose control to some facimile long before actually exercising any real control

all cases possible in every reality ever?

like if I could teleport through any means possible at all I wouldn't know shit dudes

about anything

can't believe anything anymore for sure

>>16168269
Those were insults...

>>16168269
yeah because science has proven itself such a noble and pure discipline

>>16168228
>What science field can I enter with a Literature degree?
You could hire out as a writer of research grant applications.

>>16168228
AI research.

Science Writing/Journalism: Combine literature skills with science to write about scientific topics.
Science Communication: Communicate science to the public through various mediums.
Science Education: Develop educational materials or teach science with a focus on communication.
Technical Writing: Translate complex scientific information into clear documents.
Digital Humanities/Computational Literature: Use technology to analyze literature or create interactive experiences.
Bioethics/Science Ethics: Examine ethical implications of scientific research.
Environmental Humanities: Explore literature's role in environmental issues.

Why does ""Snake Oil"" get such a bad rap. You can literally drink snake venom to cure certain diseases.

>>16168219
>You're not going to cure cancer by drinking carrot juice.
Not with that attitude, you won't.

>>16168219
>>"ya know, you should really get rid of the wifi, that radiation is dangerous"
Not really pseudoscience. Even the WHO puts EMF radiation in the 'possibly carcinogenic' category, meaning a risk cannot be conclusively ruled out

>>16168829
From memory, the story goes that Chinese railway laborers who came to the US used oil from some specific Chinese snake because it allegedly had real medicinal applications in alleviating joint pain.
However some time down the line conmen caught on and started selling oil from random ass American snakes (with no known health benefits) as a miracle cure to gullible citizens. Hence the term

>>16168219
>What is there to do?
It's a super hard process, I'm dealing with something similar with my grandfather.
The problem is that you can't be to forceful or they'll close off (there once was a study where people who were shown evidence refuting some belief they had, started believing it even more as a result) but also you as a family member are probably one of the few people who even has a chance at reaching her

I live in probably one of the least biodiverse areas that exist. Is there like a biodiversity heatmap that exists?

>>16168215
There are new bugs now and we know about them all over the planet. Come on bud.

99.99% of all species that ever existed are extinct.

Inferring anything about whether you are in a simulation or not is impossible probabilistically. You can never know whether anything is a simulation or not and hence it is futile to think about it. It's also not science because it doesn't discuss anything knowable. Because it doesn't matter anyways.

You also can't probabilistically infer whether your universe is expanding just by existence. Why would existence in an expanding universe be more likely? Maybe there are hidden factors or whatever.

>>16168200
Probability has meaning in deterministic settings because we lack perfect information. If we had complete information on everything it'd be a different story.

>Earth-like planets are expected to provide the greatest opportunity for the detection of life beyond the Solar System. However our planet cannot be considered a fair sample, especially if intelligent life exists elsewhere. Just as a person’s country of origin is a biased sample among countries, so too their planet of origin may be a biased sample among planets. The magnitude of this effect can be substantial: over 98% of the world’s population live in a country larger than the median. In the context of a simple model where the mean population density is invariant to planet size, we infer that a given inhabited planet (such as our nearest neighbour) has a radius r < 1.2r⊕ (95% confidence bound). We show that this result is likely to hold not only for planets hosting advanced life, but also for those which harbour primitive life forms.
>Further inferences may be drawn for any variable which influences population size. For example, since population density is widely observed to decline with increasing body mass, we conclude that most intelligent species are expected to exceed 300 kg.

>(as evidenced by humans being the species with the most biomass on Earth).
Humans aren't the species with the most biomass.

>>16168432
Of all the animal species, homo sapiens has the biggest total biomass.

People that don't believe this is problem also thought protesting during COVID was fine with masks. Political opinions are infallible and have zero repercussions unless they are someone else's.

>>16168063
>If scientists are supposedly so concerned about preventing disease
Not much profit is to be made with prevention.

>>16168579
You can make a fortune in prevention if you're willing to invent fake diseases to prevent. They make $9 trillion on Covid and the disease never even existed

Why didn't they stop air traffic for a couple of weeks? That would have isolated the entire continent.

I remember my country got it because retarded dying boomers from Italy and Spain bought tickets to Guatemala, then snuck to El Salvador through the border, and after that the shitters were visiting every fucking tourist attraction, coughing up small towns and the shit got out of control in 1 week. I remember news followed closely where the foci of infection were spawning, they didn't do jackshit to contain that.

Why would it be so hard to quarantine a town using military logistics? Isn't that the whole fucking point of having an army, to provide logistics and to siege shit? You see this in epidemic drama movies, why did nobody do shit?

>>16168063
For the same reason why they quickly reopened mass transit while bullying ranchers in Montana about being outside. Nothing they did was about prevention and was entirely about furthering their agenda.
