>>12751436this will be common knowledge in about 3 million years, is my guess
>>12747737I’m not familiar with the word you use. What do you mean by “consciousness”?
>>12747737>the ability of a system to detect that it exist
>>12748966That's not consciousness, that's life.>>12747737An illusion, a consequence of information processing. It doesn't exist, you are much more unconscious than conscious. By the same line of logic, I legit think a Windows PC has a certain (completely retarded) level of consciousness.

Would we ever be able to construct/'3d-print' elements atom by atom to theoretically create anything we wanted?I realise the answer is probably no, but why?
>>12750788sounds abhorrently expensive, especially comparered to just using masks like we do now. it was almost certainly abandoned
>>12750089If you're happy with "bulk" printing of shitloads of atoms per needle point then yeah
If we're looking for quick production of basic useful elements, transmutation / alchemy is not feasible.Theodore Taylor's Santa Claus machine, to break down rubbish by high heat, *does* look feasible. Someday. Given VERY cheap energy.I guess the BELTALOWDA ship their rubbish in-system to their base in Mercury, which runs this machine to get all the elements out. Then ships all the treasure back upwell - maybe with solar sails, somehow avoiding space pirates.

What causes asthma? And hypothetically speaking, could it be cured by the autophagy you get from dry fasting?
it's inflammation of the cells lining the lungs. It tends to coincide with allergies so it's probably related to the immune system being dumb.Fasting is anti-inflammatory so it'll probably help
Unironically the wim hof breathing technique works great for asthma.I have had a dairy allergy all my life (to the protein, not lactose intolerance). Last night i are a cup of yogurt. Broke out in hives, asthma, puffy face. Did wim hof breathing until I almost passed out, and after the last round my immune system chilled out. Half an hour later all signs of the allergic reaction were gone

redpill me on r/k selection theory. how universal this model is? how much exceptions do we have?
bump
>>12750861pretty much that, all about how often you do it. use threads as analogy.
No. We have humans who have 1-2 children, humans who have ~10 children, animals who have tens of children, animals who have hundreds of children and animals who have thousands and more. It's the whole specter, not just few or a lot.

>>12751874My bad, I misinterpreted the question.
>>12751942so would my answer be right?
How do people prove that algorithms have runtimes like O(logn) or O(loglogn), I'm not really sure how they can derive numbers like that.
Durrett seems boring but I like how the solutions are available. Fine with measure theory.
>>12748011okay
OP here, I think I'm settling with Probability & Measure Theory by Ash. It's got all the topics I want, problems with some solutions, and is a little less condescending than Durrett.
>>12744235Counterexamples in ProbabilityBook by Iordan Stoianov and Jordan M. Stoyanov
>>12747069>Is there a reason to learn so much about quantum mechanics for someone mostly interested in computational applications of probability?You should study enough quantum mechanics to the point that you are comfortable with path integrals. The only reason to study the path integral is that you immediately become comfortable with Brownian motion, which is the simplest path integral there is. The result is that you understand the main non-commutativity result of Brownian motion: the position and time derivative of a Brownian motion have a nonzero time-ordered commutator. This is called "Ito's Lemma" in finance or stochastic equation books.
>>12747069Statistical mechanics is not just mechanics, but statistics. Many of the most useful concepts of information theory and statistics are contained in statistical mechanics.
This is bullshit. I refuse to believe anyone tries to imagine an apple but can only picture a shitty clipart apple, or imagines it without color for some reason
>>12750822Same thing happens to me.
>>12748889you are an idiot
>>12748812I can see images but they aren't static and they're also really funny. Like imagine some took numerous different depictions of apples. Some photos, sole drawings, some cartoonsl style etc... now image they made a video where the apples just constantly morphed between different depictions then they exported the video in 240pthat's what I see
>>12751255>really funnymeant fuzzy
>>12748821And then there are galactic overlords like me who can picture an entire sequence of an apple melding into meatspace from the ether and metamorph into an apple through all stages and the paths that apple can take to conceptualize into other spaces
I am currently considering taking Iosol (ammonium iodide and Iodine/I2) or Lugol's iodine (potassium iodide and Iodine/I2).Lugol's solution: formulated in 1829Iosol: formulated in 1945Solubility of ammonium iodide in water at 20 degrees Celsius: 172g/100gSolubility of potassium iodide in water at 20 degrees Celsius: 140-148g/100gAccording to this article https://iodinehealth.wordpress.com/iodine-types/ Iosol was formulated with ammonium iodide because according to studies of Hashimoto's thyroiditis in Japan among people who consume too much seafood (which contains potassium iodide) potassium iodide can cause thyroid congestion leading to Hashimoto's, but the article says these studies were disproven.In the comments of the article if you ctrl+f "March 17, 2011 2:26 pm" you can find a comment which says that the body converts all forms of iodine into potassium iodide before it can be utilized by the thyroid. Is this true? If it is, then Lugol's solution would be better than Iosol.According to this article https://www.supporthealth.com.au/health/iodine/ excess ammonium is cleared away as part of the urea cycle similar to many other body processes. Because of this and the relatively high solubility in water compared to potassium iodide, I would think Iosol/ammonium iodide would be a better choice.Something else to consider is that Iosol uses glycerin as a solvent whereas Lugol's just uses water.
>>12750708So Iosol/ammonium iodide would be better because of higher solubility and being less tightly bonded to elemental Iodine/I2? Both Iosol and lugol's iodine have elemental iodine/I2 dissolved in some form of iodide.
>>12750799I found this relating to Iosol/ammonium iodide https://www.tpcsdirect.com/health-professionals:"During the production of Iosol, iodine is extracted from kelp and made into pure iodine crystals. This is not potassium iodide, rather it is an unbound form of iodine.The second form of iodine used is ammonium iodide, a form that readily dissolves in water. These two forms of iodine are combined in a proprietary manner in a base of vegetable glycerin.Ammonium iodide is a combination of the mineral iodine and ammonium (NH4). This is a synthesized compound, not derived from a food source. It has superior bioavailability as the iodine readily disassociates from the ammonium upon exposure to water, producing a free iodide ion exactly what your body would like to use in metabolism."So it seems like Iosol/ammonium iodide is the better choice as it is more soluble in water. I don't know why they decided to use glycerin though. I also don't like that it is synthetic whereas most dietary forms of iodine are potassium iodide. It seems like most of the evidence points to ammonium iodide being more effective though.I will buy some Iosol then unless somebody says otherwise. My local health food store doesn't have any lugol's solution anyway, so I would've had to order online if I found that potassium iodide is better.
>>12751355Based on Amazon prices (Iosol $15.46/fl oz, Lugol's $19.88/4oz [2 X 2oz bottles of 2% solution])https://www.amazon.com/TPCS-Distributors-Iosol-Formula-Liquid/dp/B000X5XMVQhttps://www.amazon.com/J-Crows-Lugols-Iodine-Solution-Pack/dp/B00E3B49R2I calculated that:Iosol costs $13.85 per gram of Iodine/iodideLugol's costs $3.32 per gram of Iodine/iodideIosol says to take 1-3 drops per day and has 610 dropsLugol's says to take 0.714 drops per day if you are 150lbs and 1.43 drops per day if you are over 150lbs (This is based on taking either 2-3 drops twice a week if 150lbs or 4-6 drops twice a week if you are over 150lbs) Lugol's has 1200 drops per container (for the amazon version it is 2 containers so total of 2400 drops).Iosol will run out in 305 days (if we assume 2 drops per day) while Lugol's will run out in 3361 days if you are 150lbs and 1681 days if you are over 150lbs.So Lugol's costs $0.005914 per day if you are 150lbs and $0.01182 per day if you are over 150lbsIosol costs $0.05068 per daySo Lugol's is way cheaper, but seems not to have as much bioavailability? But lugol's solution uses the iodide compound that is the only type found in nature, so you can still get whatever iodine you need from it. Both lugol's and iosol are unnatural due to the fact that they have elemental iodine/I2 dissolved in the iodide compound (ammonium or potassium iodide) which is not found in nature. I think the extra bioavailability you get from ammonium iodide is not worth paying so much more, especially if you are relatively healthy. It could be worth it to pay for Iosol with the ammonium iodide if you have poor health or a damaged thyroid.I guess I'll see if my health food store has Iosol for cheaper than Amazon does, otherwise I may buy Lugol's from the Amazon page I linked earlier.
Also, just because they are unnatural due to the elemental iodine does not mean they are unhealthy. That actually makes them more useful than just the iodide compounds alone arehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugol%27s_iodine#Mechanism_of_action
