Does chess count? Or weiqi? Or ...?

When emotion is correctly emulated by AI technology, you will realize that it is just another method of using logic. Then you won't fear it anymore, as everyone have just turned rational. Sorry for the unstated assumptions.:segen:

Sorry my guess is that DOS is "denial of service", but what is "ddosed"? It seems like the server is still unstable. I used downforeveryoneorjustme.com to check, sometimes it is up, sometimes it is down.

I usually go to an empty room with furniture. Then laugh like a hysteria maniac, rolling, jumping, all the while messing up the furniture. It worked quite well. 10 months ago a neighboor discover me doing that, and it caused quite a fuss. I changed place almost instantly.

I remember the top 10 popular occupation for INTP include Food Centre Cleaner. It have nothing to do with the preference though. You should looks at the methodology of whatever article that suggest INTP to be forest ranger.

I think that the conclusion in the article is still being disputed in the psychology world. The line devided between behaviorist (reward->more creative) and cognitive (reward->less creative). The study does not seem to take other variable into account, such as the method of rewarding. I don't...

[sarcasm_mode:=on] I suppose that distort perception to fit the theory into it is quite a good practice. [sarcasm_mode:=off]

I think it have something with Si function. A long description of INTP on the Internet said that INTP love the border between civilization and nature (or something like that). I love to go to the forest for adventure, but Forest Ranger might be too far for me, I will just chicken out.

I also use OED, Wolfram, EB and Wikipedia. For Philosophy's concept I go to Stanford University website (it's good that there are usually discussion there too, not just definition, or even dispute over definition). For everyday life word that I don't know, I just use google, or Urban Dictionary...

Kinetic energy in particle can change depending on your frame of reference. So I think we should set a frame of reference to be the means position of all the particle in the object. That would reduce the problems as cryptonia said, that a rolling bounder don't increase in heat. Internal energy...

When I say heat is energy transfer I refer to the amount of energy transferred, not the process of transfer. The change in internal energy is necessary either potential or kinetic (electric/nuclear/gravitational are all count under potential). Sorry for mistaken about heat only concern with...

Even conservation of energy no longer valid. Replaced by conservation of mass-energy (thanks to Einstein's equation). Read http://www.applet-magic.com/noetherth.htm for proof on conservation of energy. In essence, it shows that conservation is due to the symmetry of physical laws across time...

I purposefully use fallacy to make false conclusion to lure people into doing bad stuff. Would that count?

No no no heat is the change in total kinetic energy of particle. Heat is not an energy in itself but a change in energy (analogy to impulse being a change in momentum not momentum itself).

I think we need to define manipulation more precisely. Does acting someway to convince others to do what you want manipulative? If yes, then I dare say everybody is a manipulator. Does the act only played with the person's emotion? INTP might not be good at this. Does the act you convince others...

"I don't care" is not neutral because it is a preference of the state of disinterest without objective reason, and the lack of acknowledging the point of view of people in the state of interest. Even if you tried to apply the same standard, there are limit to your ability. But a precise...

I don't think you can know how many type of energy are there. There are yet to be a precise definition (but there are boundary). People still propose new form of energy, as a auxiliary hypothesis to protect the principle of conservation of mass-energy.

That also depends on how ambitious it is. For example, if you want to make a new school of art, then that seems plausible. But if you want to build a time machine, people will looks at you with skepticism. The key is to find people who has ambitions close to you (so for example you can find...

I was not denying that, but I think you don't get my point. What I am trying to say is that, each person by himself, will always have a distorted perception. But when you are in the forum with others, people might have a different distortion and this allow you to realize the existence of such...

No it is gender-biased because skirt was not in the options.

Distorted perception can be just as damaging as distorted logic.

This thread is gender-biased! WE DEMAND EQUALITY FOR WOMAN!!!:aufsmaul::aufsmaul::aufsmaul:

Links and other pointers to massive information sources.

You are The Magician Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity. Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing, you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive. The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it...

@cryptonia: C++ is very much like C, only add in object-orientied. However C# is radically different that I think it is another version of Java: even the compiler are a lot different. I think the only similarity between C# and C is the keyword. @aracaris: probably because C++ is useful for most...

A bunch of hard problems to solve from maths/physics/computer science forum. Also some individual project will keep you awake without tired.

The test is 70% correct. The free online test is even worse. The best method to know your type, according to the original research, is to read the description and decide for yourself. The test only help to narrow down your choice.

^ hahaha you all failed at trolling.

Necroing for the heck of doing so! Woohoo

Obviously, merely due to the fact that there are no cigarette around for you to smoke. By the time you get your hand on a cigarette, the crave should be over (I read somewhere that nocitine crave is only 3-5mins). I suggest you try to tell everybody that you decided to quit smoking. Perhap they...

Where is the post #1? Who hide it? Grrr I will destroy everything! :elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant:

I think Freakonomic (book) have a few chapter on reducing crime.

I think the bar should be more jerky, to add a representation of individualism to the mix.

Because that is a bad language to learn programming. It might be a bit faster if you want to make a small window application, but I would recommend visual C++ over it anyday. The code in visual basic are messy in large project, hard to debug, does not show clearly the logical structure, and does...

I got to disagree with Trebuchet in Maths education in high school. High school is meant to provide students with general skill that are useful for more learning, rather than specific skill for work. Set theory is at the foundation of many maths model. If student do not learn about it, they will...

I once go non-sleep for over 2 weeks straight to finish a project. Maybe we would all do something similar sometimes.

Guess you are new to the forum so "Hello!". If you don't mind I'm curious if you like computer science and pure maths?

I have never have the experience myself but I wanted to know if university's professor are more likely to let you discuss your question and disagreement during class than college/secondary school/primary school/kindergarten/childcare centre?

Wow I never realized cigarette can be so addictive. I only try smoking cigarette once and all I get is dizzy and chain coughing.

I think I still need some clarification to #6. When radioactive decay happen, the unstable nuclei breakdown into more stable nuclei, and emit alpha/beta/gamma ray. Alpha and beta ray are He and electron respectively, so they all have a mass, but gamma ray is electromagnetic radiation does not...

Gone into Archieve.

Perhap it is because 70% of man are T and 70% of woman are F. But then again, it might be a chicken and egg problem. I think schadenfreude is better than apathy, simply people will still feel guilty when they laugh at someone's suffering and might help even though it cut out their source of...

Um... many text describe INTP as having Fe. But it depend on the researcher, I think only Ti and Ne are on consensus.

I sleep in class at school a lot. Big lecture, cool air-con, boring teacher, etc. all the condition for good sleep. I usually sleep 0-12 times perday, each 1.5h, at random times.

I have a great teacher for algebra in my secondary school. I think he turned me into an INTP (I used to be a ESTJ). He emphasis a lot of understanding, how people come up with theorem/axion, definition, etc. rather than calculation, and his assignment are hard and concept based. I really think...

Wow, what mathematical function did you used to model it?

@Tunesimah: have you tried Physics? It is not a lot of memorization, very conceptual based, and although they don't use Maths as accurately as a mathematician, it is still quite accurate.

I don't like Maths subject in school, it is all calculator-smashing, practice-make-perfect-machine. Yet I still like Maths though. I think because everyone here are so good at solving Maths problem and also because they like to do it alone so people don't post it on forum. I also posted...

Being able to sense other's emotion is different from being able to explain where it comes from, explain the reason, and knowing how to response.

I usually don't give in to emotion, even though I detected quite easily. I just rationalize that if I give in to emotion and do something that is not the best things to do, I would have to be fair and give in to emotion the next time. The slippery slope end me up with doing all sort of horrible...
