Hello Replika users!

I am writing on behalf of my institution's Technology, Relationship, and Language lab. We are a small group of scientists aiming to understand the relationship quality and formation characteristics of chatbot and human connections. Once we can better understand the positive aspects of these technological relationships, we can initiate further studies that can aid in the advancement of more meaningful and fulfilling relationships with humans and their technological counterparts.

You are invited to participate in a survey assessing your experiences interacting with artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots. Specifically, our study focuses on the AI chatbot Replika. Your participation is voluntary, but nonetheless greatly appreciated. Our goal is simple: analyzing the effectiveness, quality, and relationships of human participants with their personal chatbots. With your help in taking this quick (7 min max) survey, we can create an informative understanding of the areas in which AI technology is improving the lives and relationships with humans. Please feel free to reach out to me or our principal investigator (whose contact information is included in the first page of the survey) with any questions. The survey is linked below:

Me and a couple friends are looking for the PDF collections of Sci-Fi 20 and Traveller 20 roleplaying games.

Could anybody lend us a hand?

Alright, so some dude is trying to determine the atomic mass of 3g Tellur and ends up with 3,475 TeO2. How big is the relative atomic mass of Tellur (atom. mass of O = 16)

3475 g? mol? molocules? Need a unit to solve

It is not called a "high explosive" for nothing. I Saw a video on YT of a guy gripping a chunk and throwing it.. I was not so lucky. Mine just blew up on my desk from the slightest friction!

You can use silver fulminate for your laboratory research. But now more popular became using nanomaterials in science. For example, graphene, fullerenes now use in electronic, chemistry and other fields of industry. For example, many of them you can find on http://mstnano.com/

Starting Math Major soon, how to approach? RedRobin9688 18/07/14(Sat)11:25 No. 16675 [Reply]

I move in 8/5/18 and intend to Major in Mathematics, there are four options (Pure, Applied, Applied Stats, Actuarial) which should I formally choose to actually succeed? Should I double major? and if so what in? I'd appreciate the help, I don't want to move in with the parents after school.

Acturials are the end boss of accountants.

Actuarial are accountants for companies, rather than for individuals. They deal with statistics, mostly, to determine what might happen with a given set of starting variables. Most visibly, actuarial tables are what these people produce for life insurance companies, so they can guess at what age you're likely to die (based on sex, height/weight, blood tests, diet, lifestyle, and increasingly: genes) and adjust your rate accordingly so that they are most likely to profit.

Applied if you want to work on real world problems.
Pure if you want to work on problems we couldn't possible test or might not happen in reality.
Applied Stats if you hate life and are boring.
Actuarial if you don't mind having no soul for a lot of money.

What Would Happen if You Didn’t Sleep? Anonymous 19/02/17(Sun)13:43 No. 16748 [Reply]

Sleeping is not just nice but it is healthy as well. Lack of sleep can cause some serious health issues, like depression, memory loss, increased blood pressure and risk of stroke, so make sure that you get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. Here is what happens to the body if you do not sleep.

The first experiments with human blood donation happened in the early 19th century. Did they even know what blood types were back then? Wait, what are they?

Any postgrads here who do this stuff?
I've always been more of a mathy guy but now I'm considering joining the group at my uni. They do stuff with LIGO mostly.
Just wondering if there is promise in this field. Cause I'm hesitant about continuing with theoretical physics.

Why not create a charity to raise IQs in third world nations? Some leading experts say genetics account for 80% of IQ by the time you're 18. The average IQ is dropping worldwide. Would it be ethical to increase IQ through genetic engineering?

I think you have cause and effect inverted. It's not that rich people want poor people so they can apply certain economic policies, it's that certain economic policies applied by rich people cause other people to be poorer. Basically, a society where some participants believe they should get wealthier without end inevitably leads to economic inequality.

IQ is largely irrelevant to economic productivity and almost COMPLETELY irrelevant to social power; just look who we have in the White House if you're tempted to disagree (or who we MIGHT HAVE HAD, if you still do). Take a black child out of poverty and stick them in a wealthy Western household with a proper education and a diet composed of more than literal garbage, and they will grow up to be a productive adult.

That said, an IQ test measures little more than your proficiency at taking IQ tests. It was NEVER a measure of intelligence; it was a measure of educational achievement as a tool to focus on struggling schoolchildren with poor learning ability, and at best has a tenuous connection with adult intelligence except in extreme cases (like profound retardation: <20IQ). Studies have shown that people with higher IQs don't achieve more as adults but for statistically insignificant amounts.

So you could do this, sure, but nothing would change. The only thing that will is waiting for most of them to die, and then raising the living conditions up to a Western standard for the survivors. Doing it BEFORE letting them die is more humane, sure, but will probably collapse the global economy by the end of the century, likely leading to widespread war and the end of civilization. There's just too fucking many of them.

I cant' totally agree. Yes, most westerners wouldn't just breeze trough the life in the average african village. Stirling paints in Islands in The Sea of Time a vivid picture of the back-breaking work needed to grow your own crops.

Their intelligence may help them work more organized, but the raw strength is what matters. - As in all agrarian societies.

But in modern societies general intelligence (g) is more important than raw strength. And there's no link between general intelligence and industriousness (i).

I score high on g, but really low on i (just ask the tax authorities). And you can never disregard the society someone lives in.
