Do neural networks count as formal systems?

so if I get a master I'm cool alright got it thanks

Do all forces have fields?

How do we make only one person smarter without making everyone else dumber in comparison?

I'll give you 15 dollars for every heads you flip before you land a tails. What's your expected payout?

This isn't my homework, btw. This is me trying to figure something out and I need 4chan's help because I did shitty in probability.

Can the origins of a graph be the y-intercept and one of the x-intercepts of a quadratic equation?

/sci/ I somehow managed to be doing the final term of a Computer Science degree after a year of absence. I haven't even seen a classroom in over 12 months.

Now I have to write about machine learning and computer vision and all this shit, all these complicated equations everywhere, and I barely even know what a unit vector is.

Should I just kill myself

We're only taught grammar and the most insignificant, miniscule, shoddy amount of argumentation from the trivium of the 7 classic liberal arts which all the scientists of old were educated by. Logic is completely ripped out except if you count math as being logic, which it's not in the classical sense. Logic was related to dialectic, but now it's probably related to arithmetic (beginning of the quadrivium), geometry (also quadrivium) and algebra. The structure of that education was really coherent but destroyed now, and I feel that explains a gap continuum which we can observe when it comes to contemporary scientists (and others) being some real vain, materialist assholes, complete tools, or shit for brains sometimes. Some might even argue this is by design, but the scale of that argument is beyond grasp of those affected by this educational gap.

I'd even add to this that kids should learn how to work before they learn how to study. Studying is suppose to help us move towards alleviating ourselves of work: e.g. "work smarter not harder". Without knowing the drudgery and necessity of work (i.e. pay) simultaneously then we can't fully appreciate studying and learning on that fundamental, almost spiritual level which intrinsically breeds the initiative and motivation necessary for innovation on the individual scale.

I'd second that. Krauss seems to be maturing as well in the philosophical department.

physics mayors think they're hot shit because they know theory, in real life situations their knowledge is useless and the only ones that "matter" are the shitty pop-scientists like Sagan, who are more worried about smoking weed and connecting with the universe than actual work.

Engineers fix problems.

Can /sci/ explain this or should I move to the higher powers in /x/?

As you can see, the dog reacts even before the things hit it. It knew there is going to be some kind of danger for him.

But the problem is that the dog didn't look upwards at all, and his nose didn't help him either.

So, does this dog (or all dogs) have another senses which we don't know about?

Gif related.

Numbers and thus mathematics are in fact based of of firm and rigorous concepts based upon our sensory perception. How many mangled digits until someone thinks of a way to convey that he has fewer digits attached to his hands that he was born with? If you smashed your skull into pieces by falling off a catwalk in your high school theater how would someone put your head back together enough to show your ugly mug at a funeral without enough thought process to count how many pieces? It turns out that simple process of counting is ingrained to the forms of every system for we have deigned lay our eye upon to date. Its a way to think about things. How much water is in the ocean in a solid state?

FACT: nothing has ever been proven in science
you've been taught concepts and laws as if they were true.

From wikipedia:
(...)The axiom of choice asserts the existence of such elements; it is therefore equivalent to:

Given any family of nonempty sets, their Cartesian product is a nonempty set.

But isn't it very easy to prove? If each set contains at least one element, then their cartesian product will contain at least the ordered set of these elements...

haha, I referenced the wrong post, fuck me in the ass. I thought you were the 2.2 GPA retard.
