>Endocrine disruptors are natural or man-made chemicals that may mimic or interfere with the body's hormones, known as the endocrine systemIf this is true we're fucked. All these pollutants may be altering fetal development and change us for life in ways that are to subtle to measure. The effects could range from autism to sexual orientation, to who knows what “Developmental exposure to low doses of EDCs may not lead to malformation or to anything you can look at and immediately recognize as a problem,” she says. “But it still could have long-term effects, such as alterations in metabolism, alterations causing cancer later on, or alterations causing infertility.”Reproductive and developmental abnormalities linked to EDC exposures have now been documented in birds, frogs, seals, polar bears, marine mollusks, and dozens of other wildlife species. For example, alligators in Lake Apopka—one of Florida’s most polluted lakes due to extensive farming activities around the lake, the presence of a sewage treatment facility, and a major 1980 spill of pesticides including DDT and DDE—have been shown to have been “feminized.” That is, zoologist Louis J. Guillette, Jr., and colleagues first reported in the August 1994 EHP, the males have shortened penises and low levels of testosterone, while the females have excessive levels of estrogens.Sex reversal (in which an animal of one sex matures with the reproductive organs and capabilities of the other sex) and skewed sex ratios (in which there is an unusually greater proportion of one sex than the other) have been seen in several fish populations, particularly colonies living in close proximity to pulp and paper mills and sewage treatment plants. Other reports have shown reproductive effects among wildlife resulting from exposure to EDCs excreted into the water supply by women taking birth control pills.More: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1281309/
>>15770749It's possible. A friend of mine's son was born with something similar as well, but they had botched that poor kid's surgery. There's an increase in birth defects targeted on the reproductive organs because of them. I wonder what the impact is on the female reproductive system is, since that's not as easily observable from the exterior outside of a few features.

>>15770441Incelologists have been trying to discover the grand unified theory of human socialisation for decades, yet the closest they've gotten is the "scientific blackpill", a compendium of research regarding sexuality. The main issues with incelology are that its scholars focus too heavily on observing and documenting the behavioural patterns of the worst, most r-selective specimens of the male race, and that incelologists tend to be dysgenic Untermenschen who are incapable of perceiving the world through the perspective of a normal, genetically fit male. Thomas Nagel's paper, "What Is It Like To Be A Bat", discusses the question of qualia and the inability of organisms to experience the qualia inherent to creatures of a different type. For the purpose of this argument, incels and normal people are essentially different creatures. It is only through the introduction of fresh blood to the school of incelology that further progress can be made, and potential candidates for the acquisition of incelological scholars includes /fit/, a subculture that primarily resides on 4channel, though it must be noted that while /fit/ users exhibit the same neurotype as the archetypal incel, they are just as r-selective and fundamentally dysgenic as the current subjects of incelological research. More research needs to be done on the behavioural patterns of K-selective men, and if at all possible, the talent of such K-selective men needs to be poached so that incelologists can study male-female interactions from new perspectives and develop a more general theory of true love.

Any theories about my condition subsequent to my reckless stupidity?I took Jujube, a lot of acid,(500 mcg dose usually) and most importantly You Gui Wan pills, which act as Nogo-A inhibitors and hence have the potential to reverse synaptic pruning when I was 16 when it was the year 2017, because I was using myself as a lab rat for boosting IQ using isochronic tones for phase-amplitude gamma coupling to delta.(and failed; also latter is just dopamine kek) I was scared I'd overwrite old synaptic strengths and such by the explosion of new synapses which would mostly be noise. I also had extremely poor sleep. It was extremely wild, sometimes I tripped for days, and my memory has been absolutely annihilated. Years after cessation of the experiment I noticed I'm stuck in the year 2016, culturally. The fact I'm stuck in the year 2016, though, means that I didn't overwrite old synapses, although I became extremely aloof with regards to my parents, so not sure, but in terms of semantic memory and writing capacity I'm probably fine. I did notice, however, that I had to learn how to spell again, my spelling ability got fucked as well as my phonetic articulation ability. Probably a lost cause with regards to maths.

Jewart's book is good for retarded babies so maybe try that one. Wtf I meant to say Jewart... that's weirdJEWARTEWARTAnyways calculus itself is retarded and a waste of time. Calculus itself is about computations, if you want to know the theory then read some real analysis. It's just a tool kit and shouldn't be seen as anything else. Sure maybe there should be some expoure to the historical derivation, just for the theatre of it all, but from an efficiency point of view it's pretty retarded to waste so much time on it.I did a head start program so I went to college instead of high school and it was piss easy, but guess what? All the work I did meant fucking nothing. Only the context and intuition matters.Derivatives: shit that changesIntegrals: areaThat's it.
I’m an EE (my MS EE is in power systems) and I’m interested if I could train an AI on EE material such that it could be a “living textbook”. I don’t think this has been done before. Does anyone with a background in AI think this is feasible? How much material would it need? I’m thinking something like Z-Lib would have sufficient materials.
then do it faggot, wtf I thought you were an engineer.Do you want a mathematical proof?Proof by example: ChatGPTQEDnow fuck off
>>15771102why would you want best guess answers based on training data quality when you could just use a AI interface and ask it to look it up online for you?I am sure there's serious applications in it having been trained on some kind of specialized data, but I never understood why the fuck do you need it to be trained on the data instead of it being able to "understand" your natural language and look up more objective, online. or even in some local database or something.

>>15770420>If anyone disagrees I'd like to see a philosophical application of the compactness theoremthe compactness theorem essentially says that if a formula/description φ is a logical consequence of a set of formulas/descriptions S then it is a logical consequence of a finite subset of S. You can easily use this theorem to uphold an eternal universe. For example, some philosophers believe it is more rational to think it is possible that an infinite chain of causation exists in the world. The compactness theorem guarantees that even if this is the case, you will always find a singular and intelligible cause for any particular effect. What do i win?

>professor purposely and willingly makes an already hard subject even harder by teaching with shit material, shit attitude, shit attendance and shitty tests >inb4 he's le filtering you Every subject in STEM is already hard. There's no need to make it harder, math with filter tards by itself, you don't have to make the experience any more stressful than it already is by acting like a child forced to clean his room Why does this happen so often? College is expensive as fuck, they all should be competing to see who has the most accessible and transparent teaching methods
People that came before you wanted to standardize universities with accrediting associations, and turn them into job training programs for the white collar. This has effectively removed the need for professors in the context of teaching undergraduates, as it can be simply accomplished by the "X association of X colleges and universities" creating an exam bank every semester, and telling students to read from a list of books and topics. Professors get a shit attitude when government backed loans push 210 students (200 that give no fucks) into a huge class, and expects him to teach like its grade school. >College is expensive as fuckNo it isn't. I paid ZERO dollars for my education, in fact I was even paid to study for my last five years of graduate school. >Competing to see who has the most accessible and transparent teaching methodsThey do. There are many published textbooks on all manner of mathematical topics. Professors are better off spending time during office hours, grooming those 10 students who do care and should be there. On your comment of filters, if you are a non-STEM major, then the requirement of calculus is absolutely intend to be a filter, and universities do not hide this fact.Consider your university degree in the same light as you'd consider actuarial accrediting examinations. When you're taking those, there is no one holding your hand, you are paying for the right to take the test and get certified. >"But those exams don't cost as much as my degree exams!"Not my problem you're a dumb nigger that pays for it.

Ok my numbers won nothing today and I am ok with that ButI ran the same nubers for the last five years and they would have only won 20 times and only 4 dollars 19 times and one time it would have given me a whopping 7 dollars for getting three numbers right.Thats 780 plays costing $1560 and giving me back $83Why dont they teach this math in schools?Only a retard would buy a lottery ticket
>>15760430>Thats 780 plays costing $1560 and giving me back $83You could do the same for coffee. Or for cigarettes, stuff that are way more expensive and harmful than lottery. Or for anything else really, apart from the basic sustenance stuff. At the end of the day, people are free to choose to spend their money on whatever they want to. And does it really matter? Would an extremely frugal life be desirable? Never smoking, not even at a party, never drinking, never sitting down with a friend for a coffee?Plus, statistics is a curious thing. While your chance to win the lottery is indeed infinitesimal, someone eventually always wins the jackpot every now and then. Why take away the hope from people with these numbers? Why bother convincing them that they are unlikely to be that specific person? If you'd tell this to every single person who buys lottery, you'd be wrong at least 4-5 times a year. And the few who are lucky are most certainly not retards, not unless they manage to burn through their fortune in their lifetimes...
