Who won? /sci/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21EYKqUsPfg [Embed]

Indian podcaster Dwarkesh Patel debates the 'father of reinforcement learning' Prof. Richard Sutton on whether LLMs are a dead-end.
Sutton believes so, while Dwarkesh Patel proclaims LLMs are the foundation on which experiential learning can happen, citing recent LLM models' success at high-school math problems. Patel claims humans all learn by imitation too.

The following exchange summarizes the debate:
>Patel: But there are phases of learning where there's the programming in your biology early on, you're not that useful. And then kind of why you exist is to understand the world and learn how to interact with it. It seems like a training phase [in LLMs].
>Sutton: There's NOTHING where you have training of what you should do; there's nothing. You see things that happen, you're not told what to do. Don't be difficult, I mean, this is obvious.
>Patel: I-I mean you're literally taught what to do, this is where the word training comes from, from humans.
>Sutton: I don't think learning is really about training, I think learning is about learning, an active process. The child tries things and sees what happens. We don't think about training when we think of an infant growing up

What's /sci/'s verdict? Who won?
Is Dwarkesh Patel right in saying humans are literally taught what to do the moment they're born? Is all learning just imitation?

>study for second exam, go over the cardiovascular system, heart & blood vessels as well as lymphatic system improve but still in failing (62%)

I felt like I had decent enough understanding of functions of the material but during the exam while I was able to retain and answer some questions their were a lot of questions that referred to terms I was not familiar with. This outcome could just be an outcome of me not taking enough time to properly comprehend and retain material. Anyways anons what study methods do you implement and what has been most successful thus far? (All fields are welcome, medicine, maths, psych etc)

can you actually rewire your brain with self-affirmations? /sci/
there’s a guy in my class who always drops 90–100% on every exam.
everyone respects him, even the popular kids.
he’s chill, confident, sharp, not a sweaty nerd, just built different.
meanwhile i procrastinate like a dopamine addict.
been reading about neuroplasticity, self-affirmations, and neville goddard’s “revision” thing, where you mentally rewrite past events until your brain treats the new version as real.
basically gaslighting your own neurons into believing you’re already the focused, disciplined guy.
so i’m testing it for 30 days: affirmations + visualization + revision before sleep + consistent study grind.
goal: hit 90%+ be like that dude.
anyone here tried this kind of mental conditioning?
placebo, delusion, or actual neural rewiring?

Are there odd behaviors in functions when they get big? /sci/
I've always wondered this, are there very strange functions or phenomenons that exist such that they behave normally and predictably up until a sudden "large number" then suddenly stops behaving how it used to and becomes chaotic or erratic?

Kind of like the twin prime conjecture, what if it turns out there aren't even infinitely many twin primes past an arbitrary point, that would be so strange, does there exist something like this?

A reminder from science /sci/
In 1927, physics professor Thomas Parnell at the University of Queensland wanted to show his students something incredible:
that pitch — a black, solid-looking substance — isn’t solid at all. It’s a liquid that flows so slowly, it takes decades to move.
To prove it, he heated some pitch, poured it into a glass funnel, and let it cool. Then, he waited.
The first drop fell... 11 years later, in 1938.
The next, in 1947. Then 1954, 1962, 1970, 1979, 1988, 2000, and 2014.
That’s just nine drops in nearly a century.
No one has ever seen a drop fall in person — one even fell when the camera was off. Yet the experiment still continues, quietly measuring time in decades, not seconds.
Today, the Pitch Drop Experiment is the longest-running laboratory experiment in history, officially recognized by Guinness World Records.
You can even watch it live, streaming from the University of Queensland in Australia — though you’ll need patience. The next drop might not fall until the 2030s.
A reminder from science:
even the slowest things in the universe are still moving forward.

Quantum immortality says you can never die.

String theory says that there are extra dimensions.

Standard quantum immortality is a dreadful thing, but if these extra dimensions of string theory are relevant to life in any way, it is possible that a dying person could pass into another brane and life happily rather than suffering the terrible fate that standard quantum immortality proposes.

The math works out, it's just untestable.

You can create a bubble of a few cubic meter inside of which gravity instantly ticks over to 4G.

What happens to air in this sort of a situation? Is there cavitation at the top of the boundary? Does the system pressurize? Does it turn into a dyson bladeless fan? Does it catapult you up like a rocket? Does nothing happen?

Keep in mind this is magic, no curvature, its a step transfer from 1G to 4g, there is no slope.
