How do you get good at mathematics if it's been long enough that I struggle with basic arithmetic now? The feeling of inadequacy is torturous now that I I'm taking computer science and remembered I only got through high school calculus by memorising

I think it's still doable but there's so many things I have to cover that I just lose all motivation and procrastinate.
And the more I procrastinate, the more I lose motivation because it feels impossible to study the same things that overwhelmt me with even less time.
It's a vicious circle and I don't know how to break it and get back to studying. I can't afford to fail this exam. Please help. Thanks.

why is it that some people are just intellectually gifted?
why do they have some godling in their head that tells them all the solutions and answers to problems with little to no effort?

Call me a retard if you want, but I don't get it:
On one hand I keep hearing that "a true artificial intelligence is perhaps a century away" or "it would require a Manhattan project times ten" and "Chat GPT is less smart than a rat" "it is to the human mind as a 1870s mechanical calculator is to a Iphone".
Yet, on the other hand, for decades I heard that passing the Turing test was to be the threshold where AIs would have reached the level of human intelligence and it seems that Chat GPT passes it with flying colours.
Sure, even the best versions tends to hallucinate sometimes, but otherwise it doesn't seem like there is much intellectual tasks it can't take or would plausibly be able to take in the near future.
If we put aside stuff like the Moravec paradox, what's the difference between a GPT and a human mind, or a true general AI, from the pure perspectives of its abilities?

Do Ashkenazi and Sephardic jews have a Semitic temperament and brain anatomy?
Recent scientific research by Davide Piffer and Richard Lynn suggests that Ashkenazim have the highest IQ of any ethnic group, and recent genetic studies have confirmed that Ashkenazim have the most high-IQ genes.
genes linked to higher educational attainment and intelligence are found to be higher in ashkenazim and east asians.
does this mean they simply evolved divergently in genetic isolation to have a higher IQ?
So, they are a Semitic people with a genetic temperament who simply evolved a very high IQ since the fall of Rome and migrations north into Germany.
complexion, stature, cephalic index, DNA, blood types, and Y chromosomes all suggest Ashkenazim are like 50% Palestinian/Levantine DNA.
I guess intelligence is just a genetic trait like height. There was strong environmental pressure to evolve a higher IQ.
ashkenazim have both a semetic/arab brain and a very high IQ?

Since as pure mathematicians, we can do such infinite computations (which we regularly do), the rest of the proof is trivial. QED

how is it that a weapon developed nearly a century ago is still kept a secret?
i've spent the better part of today reading about modern 2-stage nuclear bombs which are fairly complex. so there's a lot of reading about older designs to try and learn the basic principles.
with the trinity and fat man implosion bombs, they used a polonium/beryllium "initiator" inside the plutonium sphere. beryllium captures an alpha particle from the polonium and releases a neutron, which is important for kickstarting fission.
there's like no fucking information about this thing. there are maybe two pictures of what it might look like and they're both different.
80 fucking years ago this thing was made. it's a 2 centimeter sphere of beryllium and polonium and there's a couple mockups based on what people think it might have looked like.
you can learn about basically anything online. even secret tech stuff, like old planes and tanks and stuff. or 'bad' things like how to make meth or explosives or nerve gas.
but the particulars of nuclear weapons are unknowable. the information about old nuclear weapons is vague enough, let alone modern ones.
how does that work? how are these things kept secret? how much of the information that exists is inaccurate or incomplete?
how have nations all over the planet either learned about these things or developed them independently and managed to keep it out of the public domain?
