To use MathJaX, put your TeX code between [ math ] ... [ /math ] tags for inline equations or [ eqn ] ... [ /eqn ] tags for block equations.

[eqn]\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^s} = \frac{1}{\Gamma(s)}\int_0^{\infty} \frac{x^{s - 1}}{e^x - 1} \mathrm dx[/eqn]

Note: You may preview the output by clicking the TeX button at the top left corner in the quick reply window.

Additional supported file type on /sci/ is PDF.

Sounds like complete nonsense to me. Even if the Chinese had faster HFT there would still be large differences in strategy, location, jurisdiction... Do you have any sources or further information?

Any model of afterlife is a model of the life you wanted to live but didn’t.

>>17042882
For any recurrence model to have any meaningful value, you'd have to solve the vertiginous question first.
Even taking at face value that a perfect copy of you is certain to come into existence, there is no guarantee that you will experience the copy's experiences. And a simple thought experiment makes the prospect appear absurd:

If a perfect clone of you existed then would you not perceive the distiction between that clone and yourself? Or are you under the impression you'd be experiencing both perspectives simultaneously?

>>17042882

Materialists are cursed to reinvent theology from first-principles in a fundamentally worse way.

You can't actually create copies of people, because souls are entirely unique regardless of material substrate.

I will prove my point by way of an example:

Suppose that you experience amnesia. You are now roughly in the same state of mind as everyone else who experiences amnesia.

Is there a non-zero chance of your retro-causally becoming or always having been one of those other amnesiacs, because your mental states are now very similar or even identical, if but for only a moment?

If your answer is "no", then you have already assumed the existence of a non-physical observer who is secondary to the body and has an intrinsic sense of identity.

If your answer is "yes", then you could literally get blackout drunk and then have a non-zero probability of retro-causally becoming a different person who also got blackout drunk. This doesn't seem intuitive to me.

>>17042903
>Suppose that you experience amnesia. You are now roughly in the same state of mind as everyone else who experiences amnesia.
nonsense
unless two hypothetical amnesiacs have the exact same molecular structure they don't have ""roughly the same state of mind"" as each other unless you think your state of mind is only the voice in your head telling you that it is has agency and doesn't believe in hangriness

Something like optical spectroscopy, instrumentation and semiconductors

The only people doing optical spectroscopy pay 40k, the instrumentation people want someone making high throughput standardized fab equipment instead of harebrained diy setups, and the semiconductor people want someone who has done epitaxy instead of stirring gunk into a cuvette or pointing lasers at wafers.

I really thought it would be employable and in the US it might be but here the jobs just do not seem to exist.

>>17042303
Oh yeah the optics people want someone who has used professional optics simulation software, the photonics people want someone who makes PIC chips, the quantum people have their whole own thing.

I’ve only seen roasties on social media getting jobs in their respective academic fields. Am I crazy or is it virtually impossible for a straight white man to get one? And at a larger scale is there a systematic denial of my group from education?

>Not really, you would get melted by other shit long before the CMB.
In free space? It would be CMB first i think. But first was not the point, the point was that its happening.
>>17042572
>So I can't understand how a bucket of water behaves if I rotate it without taking into account the reference frame of the CMB?
You can refer to the fixed stars like mach. But the CMB has basically zero rotation compared to the fixed stars and is a local thing, how else would the bucket know about the fixed stars hmmm?

Yes its very clear this is pushed. I think its this "oh all is relative" philosophy they are pushing with it. It kills common sense, thats the thing. "Relative simultaneity", "space bends" all this bullshit.

Coffee is good for you. It makes your heart go brrrr and your dick go boing. Probably makes you die young but who cares about having a slovenly sexless life anyhow

>>17041825
No, coffee is not good for live fish or fish tanks, but the scent can be used effectively as a fishing attractant. So we are attracting fish in the ocean through human consumption and wastewater.

>>17042018
This statement is incorrect.

>>17041825
Just cancel it out with some weed, dude!

In Naive Set Theory by Halmos, he states:
"The explicit definition of an ordered pair ((a, b) = { {a}, {a, b} }) is frequently relegated to pathological set theory." What does he mean by this? Or rather, what sorts of logical fallacies can arise from Kuratowski's notion of an ordered pair?
I fail to see the potential issue at hand here and would like to be made aware of it. I can read whatever you send me.

>>17041553
The term "pathological" has rather eyebrow-raising properties for most English speakers, but it is important to study multiple pathological definitions as they are designed to keep one's mind aware of the peripheries in the axioms we take for granted. In set theory it's best to study as many approaches to it's plethora of definitions as possible, as it can help you understand whether YOUR work is weak or strong, unrefined or refined.

>Halmos

He's better saved for when you want to review an undergrad book. If you want to start in a spot that doesn't leave anything obscured, I'd pick up a one-semester undergrad book in set theory and then go from there; set theory books are all the same. Just get some random dover print, or if you feel like it a Springer print (physical book, or pirated pdf).

If you feel like challenging yourself afterwards, I'd buy Axiomatic Set Theory (Dover print) by Suppes. It's an old book and very difficult as such AST books were at the time, but it's quite a useful window into things as-they-were-developing.

>>17041553
>"The explicit definition of an ordered pair ((a, b) = { {a}, {a, b} }) is frequently relegated to pathological set theory."
It's a type_theory tier lie. This definition is perfectly fine. 100% accuracy in language is what make math accessible, not bullshit handwaving.

Lol, I think I'm catching your sense of humor.

>20 original maxwell equations.

Heaviside took the original mathematics and simplified them for engineers and students in college I think.

He's the one who dubbed the Potentials as mathematical contrivance..."murdered from the theory" I think is how he put it.

Something tells me he was playing some Ball potentially when he did that.

Maybe they got to him.
