Is khan academy really as good as people say I’ve been wanting to relearn algebra and advance in math and I just need a quick refresher is khan my best option?
>>13770069I've tried to use it but holy fuck he does not put any effort to keep it somewhat interesting for anyone who isn't autistic.Aside from that the only other issue I have is that he can go into the nitty gritty stuff without really laying a foundation, I used it for Laplace transformations and he was some really contrived way of teaching a fairly simple subject. Sure the autists might crave the deep deep understanding of it but it really ruins the digestibility for anyone else.>>13771017I would agree, a good (pirated, hint hint libgen) book would be better, just be prepared for when the author gives up caring and goes off the rails, only for you to jump from 2x+1=3 to 3x3 matrices in one chapter (engineering books are like this in particular)
>>13771658Absolutely, somehow it expects you to have both a near zero understanding, and then a proficient understanding by the next video
>>13770069faggot
>>13771634the guilt jew can be tricky toobe sure to be blackout drunk or find another way to not remember the act else he'll get you
>>13770069> buying jew textbooks instead of using based quant god indian teacher for free with comprehensive problems alsoEverybody on this fucking thread is a (((banker))), khan academy is a better resource than most textbooks and its free
Why are there no proven methods for an 100-110 midwit to gain a couple of IQ points? It's over for us

Now that the dust has settled and Montano has killed himself, is eternalism true?
>>13769200He referenced his plan multiple times and admitted to trying to kill himself before. You're an even bigger schizo than him if you unironically think he didn't kill himself.https://youtube.com/watch?v=wUl-ek3P-08https://youtube.com/watch?v=OPyeyKosQdQ
>>13769970Dude, the killer literally followed his blog and killed him in the ways he wanted to suicide. It was the perfect crime.

Happened earlier today. Is this the solution to the organ shortage?
>>13772846Isn't this something we've always done ?I'm pretty sure i heard about doctors transplanting pig's kidney into human since forever
>>13772846or improve relation with china.
>>13772846More importantly, how will we address the orphan shortage?

Will immortality be achieved in our lifetimes? When I say immortality I mean biological immortality. will the disease of aging and all other diseases be cured in our lifetime, or will we continue to die at age 70-100 like now? Is it just wishful thinking, how long will future humans live? How long will children being born in 2021 live?
>>13767700Why do kiddies and non scientists always voice their opinion the louder...
>>13771550Believe me, if they start mandating immortality I'm killing myself that day.
>>13771744I liked the study where they just gave rats a daily pill of ibuprofen, and that extended their lifespan dramatically. (at least 50% increase) which is freaking nutsCertainly there must be some trade off, but wow
>>13767499you'll probably see dramatically shrinking human life expectancies in the near future, thats been the result of totalitarian communist takeovers everywhere else. check your privilege, just because generations before you lived to 70-100 doesn't guarantee you the same thing.
>>13767700posts like this, even if ironic motivate me greatlyi hope we do reach immortality and you get enslaved for the rest of your time
What if incorrect route of administration is the main cause of vaccine side effects?
>>13770226>we don't take basic safety precautions anymoreThere's literally no downside to making sure you didn't fuck up.

>>13766857do you have any idea how much vascularity there is in the deltoid?
>>13773016Irrelevant, as if that was the measure, it would be better to inject in the thigh. So you are congratulating doctors on picking a suboptimal injection site, or what would otherwise be called less than first class care. I don't know what poo you talk to, but they are wrong.
Could you make a cube made of layers of pixels that would display objects in complete 3D?Sorta like a hologram? I'm sure this has been proposed before, I just can't find it anything.

Scientifically speaking, are DEX builds better than STR builds for actual combat?
>>137715411v1 single match no escape>bare handsNo>white weaponsNo>gun powerYesReal lifeIf you are clever enough you can defeat both
>>13771541>DEX builds better than STR builds for actual combatonly an anime-addled brain can think this to be the case.
>>13773247Wrong, the actual military thinks that is the case.Pick related, navy seals, all of them are DEX builds.
>>13771541It's a complete 50/50 and wholeheartedly dependent on your style of fightingFor example:Hyenas, Wild Dogs, Wolves, and Humans are predominantly DEX builds who adapted their hunting style via harrassment and hit-and-run tactics.Lions and Alligators are STR builds who adapted their fighting style via ambush strikes.If they are forced to face each other, (in an open and limitless field) my money goes to the DEX because they don't really have to attack. They just have to keep the other guy exhausted.>>13773258Yeah, because firearms
>>13771541If you have a weapon, DEX, since you can pretty much do an irl stun lock with a knife. Hand-to-hand you want STR, other than that reach is important so long as the difference in height makes bollocks a prime target
Alright /sci/. when do you think it'll all go up in smoke? I'm of the "any day now" crowd, but I need some diversity of thought in my life. What do you think?
How is this science related? I feel like sci has become pols validation board
>>13772928Part of the decline is how real scientists are despised by people who feel entitled to rule the people.
Hard to tell. Seems useless to speculate. I think it'll end in some human driven great calamity, bigger than Covid and not unlike the holocaust or WW2.All it takes is one very talented person taking advantage of gaps in a system and boom, shit turns upside down quick.There is a lot of ethnic strife in America, and I feel like that DEFINITELY isn't going anywhere.Mix in the fact that we're still a superpower by some standard and you could have a very angry and powerful country. I feel like that can only lead to shit.
>>13767542>and they have always been wrong.Imagine being this much of a blue-pilled cocksucker. I guess the Roman empire didn't fell at all because those sentiments of imminent collapse they had were wrong.
>>13767319Think of them like the taliban in Afghanistan. Not super educated or informed (except religiously) but not exactly what you’d call sheep.

When you realize that your intro to psychology class lied about how skinner's theories aren't taken seriously any more. when you realize behaviorism is always straw manned.i just want to go back mang...
>>13773221If we accept the truth of Skinner's ideas, we have to radically restructure society. We have to do away with almost all punishments, and openly shape individual behaviors for the good of society using reinforcement. Too many people benefit financially from prisons, policing, and the status quo for any serious reform movement to even begin.

Finally had time to post this, but you guys won't believe this.I work with the JWST team. Not really a dev or scientist, but part of the janitor team basically.But the whole facility is panicking since this morning!THE JWST IS FUCKING GONE!! JUST GONE!!Everyone came to work this morning and the place looked clean and normal except the JWST is not there! No one knows what happened. Is it theft? Did the government decide the military should take over? Some classified shit? No one knows.We were just told by management like 30mins ago to basically go home and not worry about it. I am told to stay here with my team to clean shit up and then leave. Will be gone by noon probably after we close this place.Not sure what's going on, but rumor is that it will be handed over to Space Force to use a surveillance satellite.
>>13771968>but rumor is that it will be handed over to Space Force to use a surveillance satellite.This is retarded enough that I can actually see the military trying something like this.
>>13771968China stole it
>>13771968It's gone to Guyana for the launch you dumb dumb. Even a janitor should know that.
>>13772291james webb space telescope, nigger
>>13771968>JWST stolen???If the headline asks a question, the answer is always "no."
You are a biologist traveling through a rainforest and you are bitten by a venomous snake. Luckily you know the venom can be neutralized by licking the back of the male of a certain species of frog. You also know that only females of this species croak, males and females are otherwise indistinguishable from a distance, positioning and croaking behavior of a frog is random and independent from other frogs, and the population is evenly split between males and females and can be considered arbitrarily large.Luckily you see a frog of this species in front of you. You then hear a croak behind you and turn around to see a pair of the same species of frog where the croak came from. You only have enough time to run and lick the lone frog or the pair. Which direction do you run and what is your chance of survival?https://www.strawpoll.me/45807870
>>13771867And what is your chance of survival?
>>1377196050%. At least one of the frogs in the pair is a guy and can be completely ignored. So you have two frogs basically, with unknown gender, half are male half are female. So yeah.But irl this would have some more weird facets, like how often do these things croak? You might have more than 50% odds since the others aren't croaking. But obviously someone could claim the frogs only croak once a day or some weird shit.
>>13771905It's not a non-croaking frog, it's a frog which hasn't yet be confirmed to croak. Hypothetically it could croak within the next minute.
>>13772349>50%Impossible, since that would imply a non-croaking frog is equally likely to be male or female.
>>13772385>It's not a non-croaking frog, it's a frog which hasn't yet be confirmed to croak.Same thing. A frog you haven't heard croak can't be equally likely to be male or female since females have some nonzero chance of croaking.
Retroreflectors on the moon are completely useless. They don't actually work at all.1) It is mathematical fact that setting up a mirrored corner can return the light from whence it came. But this would require engineering the mirrors to be perfectly flat, and perfectly right-angles. There is very little tolerance for error, because you're reflecting a signal 380,000 kilometers across empty space. Even the smallest angular deviation throws your signal completely off2) It takes light around 2.6 seconds to reach the moon and back. During that time, the earth turns. If you do the math, it will displace the return signal by 1.2 kilometers. Not to mention the earth and moon's mutual rotation displaces it by another 10 meters.3) The retroreflectors are really small. We know that even a columnar laser spreads out with 1/r^2 of the distance. Therefore this signal reaching the moon has a large radius, and is bouncing off much of the reflective soil around the entire area, kind of like sonar. Considering it's possible to measure the return-signal, which should be displaced by over 1,200 meters, that means the signal probably spreads out a minimum of 600 meters when it hits the moon. 600 meters square is 360,000 square meters. Thus if the soil on the moon returns just 1/360,000th's of the signal as the retroreflector, then it has outperformed the reflector, rendering the reflector totally pointless.

Preferably in lots smaller than x40. I don't want to sell my kidney just to know if I've had the WuFlu
>>13771163Just buy them from AliExpress lolThey're all made in China at this point
>>13771163Here in germany average tests now cost 1€ per test and you can get them in most super markets even. If you want the "good quality" ones actually "made in germany" you pay like 3,50€ per test. But they aren't more or less reliable so why bother.
>>13771169I thought most were rubbish quality. How do I know I'm getting an accurate one?>>13771385Are you talking about antigen or antibody test? I want to see if I've been historically infected so need antibody test.
