Whatever it is ok is also not so obvious. Its the best way to maximize our chance of survival in the future.
But for now? Yeah we won't and nobody cares, lots of more Interesting things to take care of first.

By this, I mean those who make no claims which could be in any way contradicted by science.
For example, many philosophers suffer from a severe anthropocentric bias that they have inherited from the Bible, which is contradicted by Darwin.
I've found picrel in my local library, is he /sci/ approved? What philosophers are worth reading?

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional comYX8NXplex inner product space and let $S$ be an isometry on V such that $(I+S)$ is an isometry. Show that these conditions imply that $S^3 = I$.

How can the universe end in zero entropy if there are vacuum fluctuations? Isn't there always a small chance of something happening due to the uncertainty principle? How is zero entropy possible? It can't be. Lol.

If I select two integers at random between 1 and 1,000, what is the probability that their sum is prime?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>14317089 Each sum either is or isn't prime. 50/50
No even number greater than 2 is prime.
That means half of the 50/50 can't be prime.
The other half must be prime by definition.

>>14317121 >>14317333 I wrote a small C program to prove it.
14.5 % is correct
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int is_prime(int v)
{
int i;
if(v <= 1)
{
return 0;
}
if(v % 2 == 0 && v > 2)
{
return 0;
}
for(i = 3; i < v / 2; i += 2)
{
if(v % i == 0)
{
return 0;
}
}
return 1;
}
int main(void)
{
int i, count, n;
srand(time(0));
n = 1000000;
count = 0;
for(i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
int a = rand() % 1000 + 1;
int b = rand() % 1000 + 1;
int sum = a + b;
if(is_prime(sum))
{
++count;
}
}
printf("RESULT: %3.2f%%\n", ((double)count / (double)n) * 100.0);
return 0;
}

and you can calculate it exactly, you don't need to random sample
[code:lit]
int main(void)
{
int count, a, b, n;
count = n = 0;
for (a = 1; a <= 1000; a++) {
for (b = 1; b <= 1000; b++) {
int sum = a + b;
++n;
if (is_prime(sum)) {
++count;
}
}
}
printf("RESULT: %f%%\n", ((double)count / (double)n) * 100.0);
return 0;
}
[/code:lit]
RESULT: 14.517100%

Just count all sums which result in prime lol. It will take just seconds on PC.

Which field of computer science is the best paying/most employable and has the least losers?
I did really well in HS, skipped a grade etc, didn’t know what to study so did chemical engineering, hated it and switched to finance and econometrics, hated that but finished it and became a drug dealer personal trainer. Now I’m 25 and am back at uni so I can stop being a useless piece of shit and I’m studying computer science and unsure what field should I lean towards? Of the three majors most interesting to me I can pick two: Data science, machine learning, cyber security. Also, why are 90% of the people in my classes weirdos, I’m worried I’ll struggle to get along with anyone I ever work with.
Thanks fellas
