/sci/ - Science & Math

Wow. That absolute state of this board.

This has to be bait. The fact you would type this sentence on a computer without even a trace of irony is unfathomable to me.

uncontrollable power sources do need a battery as a buffer if you want to be hooked up to the grid and not fucking it up
but adding massive batteries to every wind and pv installation is just more resources

and nice trips

We're so unbelievably fucked.

Does the UN have a plan to secure humanity's colonization of space?
Can't stop thinking about us using the last of our finite resources, making us unable to send things into space and trapping ourselves on the planet.

They had a speech ready for nixon if any of the astronauts died on the voyage. It was basically press F and then try again later.

I keep thinking about how no terrorist attack before or after has ever come close to that of 9/11, government support must have been involved.

USA is a teenage country with no culture, of course they would be edgy and invent their own shit or use something different from everyone else.
Imagine how much time and resources they could have saved over the years.

>production and sale of combustion engines banned from 2021
>use of combustion engines banned from 2023
>only bio degradable plastic allowed from 2022
>start to out phase coal plants immediately
>begind construction of smaller nuclear power plants to replace coal
>cattle and meat production needs to be cut down severely
>leaving trash on the ground now costs you fees

>dude just waste time and energy on destroying our limited resources
What about we make trash a thing of the past and focus on recycling? Force companies to fabricate and design their products to be biodegradable or easy to recycle.
We also need to educate 3rd world countries to stop throwing their shit in rivers and collect it instead.

/sci/ is literally full of undergrads/dropouts trying to get help with their homework. I hope nobody actually takes this shit seriously.

When will something cool light up in the sky?
Heard about a binary star system estimated to collapse within three years but apparently that got cancelled.

>be danish
>current gubberment promises no combustion-only cars will be sold after 2030
>by 2035 only electric cars will be sold
Hope a new government will step up and say only electric cars will be allowed on the roads by 2025,
Imagine how nice and quiet and clean the cities would be without combustion engine cars to fuck everything up.

I have a dream of dying on the moon or mars, having helped building new bases for us to expand from.

Who else went to a lower ranked university or did a subject they hated and regret it massively?

I went to my nearest university. I feel ripped off even though I paid literally nothing for it. Compared to good universities the courses were light on content and depth. In the UK all universities and subject courses arent standardised. You dont always have maths / physics / engineering students all taking the same Calc 1 (etc.) class in first year. You get "[Subject] for Engineers" and so on. So they feel free to skip shitloads of stuff (at the bad universities). They skip shitloads of stuff. I remember being in the third or fourth year of my degree, doing this really stamp collecty course and then having this crushing demoralised feeling when looking at the exam papers for Cambridges maths degree in third and fourth year. It was like staring at the secrets of the universe in comparison with my own course, which was a big fat joke.

I remember overhearing two students talking in my first year. One of them said that people who go to the library were "weird". Of course when the new shiny library opened up it was a normie haven. The old library was too small and run down yet had a lot of free space because nobody went there.

Of course your university matters a lot for how many job interviews you get. Why does /sci/ or /biz/ never mention this factor? Someone who does history of art at cambridge would find it easier becoming an investment banker / other high paying job than someone who does mathematics at a lower ranked place.

How do you cope with having gone to a lower status university than you could've handled and doing a subject you didn't like and not being able to change due to being in the UK and being aged 24 knowing you have never done anything intellectual in your life? And having practically given up on your degree with over a year to go, handing in the absolute minimum to get a 2.1 (acceptable in the UK)?

Feels awful man. When I go through stuff in my own time, whether it's academic or not, I feel awful. Learning PHP is trivial. Learning maths for physical sciences (my uni missed out tonnes of stuff) is trivial. The exercises in SICP are trivial. I don't mean that I am finding everything easy- I mean that if I do this stuff it is not an achievement in any way like a MMath from Cambridge or a research paper in a scientific journal or creating a programming language or framework would be.

I'm implementing stuff in Lisp from SICP when Turing was literally inventing the theory behind computer science. Learning PHP is easy but I haven't done anything near as smart as the guy who created PHP (and the guy who created JavaScript did it in about a week!).

No.

The human mind is not compatible with our rudementary computing capabilities.

Anyone who says otherwise is either stupid, trolling, or too scared of death to admit it'll never happen.

How do I get over the fact that my potential went down the drain as soon as I went to university and completely disliked the subject (engineering) and university experience (social life, university etc)? I passed but I learned nothing. It was a horrific waste of time.

I'm 24 and it pains me to know that people my age are doing things of actual intellectual value while I did a degree with zero practical or theoretical worth.

I went to my local university and it has low standards so I didn't even get the consolation of having a reasonable baseline of maths and physics knowledge. The courses were so fucking lightweight. It skipped so much of vector calculus and linear algebra you wouldn't believe it if you saw the content.
