yep. at first i struggled but then i learned it p good. a lot of times i can learn how to do something mathematical or physics-y without actually understanding it, which is great for school, but not, like, life
It wasn't fun.
I enjoyed Calc I and Calc II because I felt they had applicable functions in the real world. Physics was a lot of fun, once you get how the formula stacking goes.
Linear/Matrix Algebra was a fucking nightmare.
exactly - i couldn't really visualize what the hell these matrices were. just like when i got to advanced physics stuff where we used.. hermitian operators and whatever nonsense
maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here
Yep I have degrees in Biology and Psychology and once was a bioinformatician, believe it or not
i wonder who has the most surprising education/career vs. how they seem on the forums
i feel like I'm a lil bit surprising, as i am a buffoon
jake what do you do
i work in radiation safety
Oh awesome I need your help with this planet in No Man's Sky-

I'm looking forward to the prospect of using databases and spreadsheets to derive trends in criminal activity and how it correlates with socioeconomic factors. I don't know if I have the job yet, at all, but apparently I'm on a short list due to veterans preference and a bach degree in CIS/MIS.
Also, if my source is correct, they will be training the analysts on Hadoop and BigTable.

(I'm fine with a useless, shallow understanding if you want to help me pass integral calculus beginning a week from tomorrow :4)
i am always up 4 helpin u if u need

I actually really enjoy like, the theory of integrals. Yes, I can totally see how engineering problems in the real world probably aren't composed of horizontal functions, and how finding the area of a curve is progressively more precise if we take a larger and larger number of cross sections beneath blah blah
Doesn't solve my skip-class-and-be-anxious habit tho

Yeah you went way beyond me on the physics. I think we did thermodynamics and fluid dynamics at the very end of the class and that was about it. We didn't really do anything theoretical.
But our prof would always have some cool shit for us when class started, like the match/fork/glass trick.

It's funny, but you usually move past taking the cross sections of a curve within the same class and simply expressing it as a function, effectively making that part of it obsolete before you even get into derivatives.

Also, I'm not insulting anyone by suggesting this at all, but I am suggesting this.
Get Calculus For Dummies.
It's a really, really well-written book.

...The video didn't really touch on some of the hot-button issues surrounding genetic engineering of people.
For example: It is difficult to quantify age-related death as a bad thing from an impersonal / long term perspective. The way that social progress tracks with generational turnover is very problematic here; by significantly putting the brakes on that turnover, we are also likely to stall out the erosion of social mores.
It's less a problem of 'What if the Kim dynasty made super soldiers?' and more of the problem of, 'What if the Kim dynasty was literally eternal, barring violent intervention? What if simply waiting-out a bad era was no longer an option?'
I wound up going to a reading of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
P fun except the room was stifling hot and the chairs were massively uncomfortable and a couple people kept talking loudly even tho the MC kept being like uh hey shut up and one half of the gay couple sitting in front of me kept using his phone
he wasn't even, like, doing anything on his phone
just randomly swiping around on the apps screen. thru the entire play. what the heck guy

I'm not sure if we can count on the relationship between social progress and generational turnover to stay constant in the world as we move forward. I think concurrent with a lot of these technological advances will be necessary systemic changes to how we govern ourselves and deal with social change. Putting a shorter time limit on human lives isn't necessarily the only way to deal with the fact that old people become stuck in their ways.
