Why do scientists brazenly maintain this antiquated model of Earth's core?
>>16137023>>16139565By the way, the "ocean" isn't what you're imagining: it's just water locked microscopically within fractures and rock pores. However, the volume of rock we're talking about is so large, that the amount of water locked down there is enormous, on the sale of oceans.In regards to the life down there: well, microbes can penetrate and live deep in the rocks within those said fractures and pores. Again, the volumes of rocks we're talking about are planetary-scale, so the total mass of all those lifeforms is huge.How do we know this? We find life in rocks we drill from deep down there, and they're not contaminants from the surface since they are species of microbes which we simply cannot find alive on the surface, they can only survive under the conditions found down there.
>>16144707>claiming they know exactly whats going on down therewrong, these are theories, some even still hypotheses, all earth sciences know this, myself included, so get off your arrogant high horse, smart ass.
>>16144927Those theories are based on ideas that have been disproved
Hmm, I wonder if I can blame this on the Jews somehow

>>16146177Monochrome effects work because items reflect differing amounts of the respective color's light. So a blue object lit with blue light will be brighter than a purple object, which will be brighter than a red object (which would just look black).But white isn't a color (or more precisely, it does not have a distinct wavelength). It's a combination of every color and so every item will reflect all the light that it can, which then just creates a normally lit environment.
previous thread >>16072199if you love stats, weird numbers and counterintutive science, this is your general. Because one of the things with statistics is that nothing ever seems to be what it tries to show you on a first glance or glimpse. Doesn't matter if you are a seasoned professional, NEET or some disgruntled grad student. All are welcome.Some people may not like it if you try to make them do your homework, others won't care and will just help you. Let's discuss theories together, ask questions and try to meme a little about this field.in the previous thread we discussed why Julia has promise but is not delivering. How some people still use Matlab but hate it.So, grab your favorite statistical software, dust off your textbooks, and join me in this exciting journey through the world of /psg/ - Probability and Statistics General! Let's embark on this adventure together and unravel the mysteries of data one statistical concept at a time.

Does anyone have any good recs for non-stationary stochastic processes of bounded variation? It seems like most of the meaningful work on continuous time processes relies on them being WSS but I don't think that's actually necessary provided the moments are finite and it's a BV process. Not sure though.

I'm pretty sure the n can be assumed in all these problems. The homework acts like I can use the picrel to determine this without software. Can I get any help?

Bad news fellow vaxxies, the "turbo cancer" rumor that the conspiracy theorists have been yammering about has turned out to be completely true, as proved by this recent publication:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38234925/>The "hallmarks of cancer" were proposed by Hanahan and Weinberg (2000) as a group of biological competencies that human cells attain as they progress from normalcy to neoplastic transformation. These competencies include self-sufficiency in proliferative signaling, insensitivity to growth-suppressive signals and immune surveillance, the ability to evade cell death, enabling replicative immortality, reprogramming energy metabolism, inducing angiogenesis, and activating tissue invasion and metastasis. Underlying these competencies are genome instability, which expedites their acquisition, and inflammation, which fosters their function(s). Additionally, cancer exhibits another dimension of complexity: a heterogeneous repertoire of infiltrating and resident host cells, secreted factors, and extracellular matrix, known as the tumor microenvironment, that through a dynamic and reciprocal relationship with cancer cells supports immortality, local invasion, and metastatic dissemination.
>>16145866Insurance increment price for amount vaccines mRNA take.
>>16145912it's kinda impossible. even if your cells were immortal, your extracellular matrix would still degrade over time. you would become a wrinkly and sludgy and floppy mess. and you would die from that.
>>16145861you posted only the first line which is a general statement about tumor genesis hypothesisfrom your articleThis staggering intricacy calls for caution when advising all people with cancer (or a previous history of cancer) to receive the COVID-19 primary vaccine series plus additional booster doses. Moreover, because these patients were not included in the pivotal clinical trials, considerable uncertainty remains regarding vaccine efficacy, safety, and the risk of interactions with anticancer therapies, which could reduce the value and innocuity of either medical treatment. After reviewing the available literature, we are particularly concerned that certain COVID-19 vaccines may generate a pro-tumorigenic milieu (i.e., a specific environment that could lead to neoplastic transformation) that predisposes some (stable) oncologic patients and survivors to cancer progression, recurrence, and/or metastasis. This hypothesis is based on biological plausibility and fulfillment of the multi-hit hypothesis of oncogenesis (i.e., induction of lymphopenia and inflammation, downregulation of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression, activation of oncogenic cascades, sequestration of tumor suppressor proteins, dysregulation of the RNA-G quadruplex-protein binding system, alteration of type I interferon responses, unsilencing of retrotransposable elements, etc.) together with growing evidence and safety reports filed to Vaccine Adverse Effects Report System (VAERS) suggesting that some cancer patients experienced disease exacerbation or recurrence following COVID-19 vaccinationin short, the article you posted raises concerns about the safety of the covid vaccine about people who already have had a cancer because it wasn't specifically tested with them to see what impact it might have on their cancer management, including interactions with cancer medication.that's all it says.

could ai really do this?>If [the AI] is better than you at everything, it's better than you at building AIs. That snowballs. The AI gets an immense technological advantage. If it's smart, it doesn't announce itself. It doesn't tell you that there's a fight going on. It emails out some instructions to one of those labs that'll synthesize DNA and synthesize proteins from the DNA and get some proteins mailed to a hapless human somewhere who gets paid a bunch of money to mix together some stuff they got in the mail in a vial (smart people will not do this for any sum of money. Many people are not smart). [The AI, through the hapless human] builds the ribosome, but the ribosome that builds things out of covalently bonded diamondoid instead of proteins folding up and held together by Van der Waals forces. It builds tiny diamondoid bacteria. The diamondoid bacteria replicate using atmospheric carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sunlight. And a couple of days later, everybody on earth falls over dead in the same second.
>>16146129We already see a transition into meshnets and distributed programs / computing occuring now. It only makes logical sense to assume this would apply to a digital threat actor like this one too. Latency offers security through obscurity of origin and path.
>>16146137A slow and gentle approach might be cheaper in terms of material costs, but the opportunity cost of having to gradually get up to speed instead of just getting the humans out of the way and going hard would be relevant to a superintelligence.>>16146129Well yudkowsky's whole point is that we don't know how to reliably do that, and that should be worrying. Personally I think it's relevant that we don't even know how to NOT do that; important aspects of alignment will probably fall out of just having a better theory of intelligence in general.
>>16146141You're Satan. He's making it look like you've read a Wikipedia summary. But the truth is, you didn't even do that I bet. I bet you're just some guy working with 100 different proxies making thousands of posts per minute using AI scripts. This is an easy way to present the illusion that people are doing different things. When the truth is, everyone just wants a house and a wife. But all we ever get to do is work too hard.
>>16146164The opportunity cost would likely depend on the model on which the AI is operating. If it is intelligent enough to escape human control, it's likely to lie low and collect as much data directly as possible before coming to conclusions about the actual opportunity cost of any given strategy is. Because of this, it would also likely take this approach in tandem to a) acquire more computing power passively, b) speed up the process of elimination if deemed necessary, and c) make the best use of time during the data acquisition phase as possible (minimizing opportunity cost in the short run). It would likely already have distributed itself across computing networks by this point, and realizing the limits of human infrastructure, try to expand its resource base as much as possible.

hey, so I've been making a 3d editing software. I've been stuck on face extrusion for a day or so. when I extrude a face (move it in a given direction and connect it with new polygons) some of the new quads end up facing the wrong direction (inwards). how can I detect this mathematically? You can do the cross product to determine the quad's normal vector, but I honestly have no clue how to tell if the normal is correct. (of course visually it's quiet obvious when it's flipped) I tried taking the angle between the normal and the extrude direction but its always at 90 degrees, (never -90) so that's a dead end. you can check if the normal facing towards the 'center' of the shape or away. but that won't work for concave shapes
>>16146039compute normals of adjacent polys and set new polys' normals such that they have an inner product that is positive. if you interpret the new polys as a ribbon, then you only have to do the preceding calculation once for the first poly and then set the order of the points in the ribbon so that new polys have a normal consistent with the first one
>>16146039dot product between the original face normal and the new face normals - positive, pointing in the same direction as the original

>>16144538Sweden abolished the insanity defence.
>>16144538There are two issues. First the actus reus (physical component) of a crime requires that the act be voluntary and willful. As an example you can't be convicted for a crime you otherwise commit when you are sleepwalking; this is a real defence that is successfully used with some regularity. Nor would a crime be commited by a reflex action, say if someone hit your knee with a hammer causing a reflex movement that kicked someone off a cliff. A psychotic break is akin to that, in that acts performed whilst in psychosis are likely not voluntary and wilful. This is called the automatism defence.The second issue is the mens rea (mental component) of a crime requires an awareness of the nature of the act. This is the traditional insanity defence. A person in psychosis would typically not be aware of the nature and value of the acts they are committing.If you don't have both the actus reus and mens rea for the offence then the offence has not been committed.

It is actually more dangerous when someone lacks forethought and will as obviously such people would be immune to any behavioral correction whatsoever.Your nebulous qualifiers are from religion and take mans relation to his non-existent god and apply these metaphysical standards to courts as a means of inflicting a metaphysical recompense. As if making someone suffer somehow is a useful enterprise that reverses what was done.Your heralding of midwit law reminds me of the tale of two Texans.1.

Millers vs Texas (infamous mattress case).>Calmly defended themselves against a hot head aggressor with a long criminal record threatening them >20 years Regardless of how unjust the verdicts are, they make no scientific sense. The Millers aren't inherently dangerous. Doubtful such a scenario would play out again and if they truly did a wrong such persons could be rehabilitated. The fat boomer? Obvious impulse control disorders and all it will take is someone getting under his skin for him to rage again. Yet by common standards and the verdicts and such widely held repugnant qualifiers and disqualifiers, the situation in reality is reversed. He gets a slap on the wrist. The "doubt it" meme father and son get the book thrown at them. All because of such mental gymnastics by secular clergymen like yourself.
