One, in theory, can construct number sets (fields) with holes in them - that's truly discrete numbers. such number sets are at most countably infinite, but need not be. One useful such set might have Planck's (length) constant as

Russia is as European as France and certainly more European than the US or Canada. Most of Europe's problems stem from trying to keep Russia out and Germany down. The latter has worked well because Germany is, to this day, occupied by

There has never been more diversity - intellectual or otherwise, than now. Just a few decades ago, all news, political/cultural/intellectual discourse, even entertainment had to pass through handful of english-only channels (ABC,

Chomsky and Pinker (I don't Fodor), are entertainers and their theories are good only for PhD pumpers. How human brain works and the associated neuroscience has absolutely nothing to do with LLMs which simply are empirically defined f

All great industrial apps are DSLs for specific domains, because often time end users are much smarter & craftier than developers. Some great examples: - AutoCad (vector drawing DSL on top of Lisp) - Mathematica (symbolic algebra DSL -

It'd be nice to incorporate links to Demos-3D to supplement visualizations of complex number algebra and 3D vector/matrix ops: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfM6zMGnbgOHoJFFgqQ4O...

Biology, chemical biology and parts of non-traditional chemistry, are some of the most political and elitist fields outside of social sciences. How and what is taught is not necessarily science based only, let alone, who gets in the PhD pr

The loan amount is small & revolving to be too risky for a bank the size of JPM, but undue optimism about OpenAI also isn't justified. Google, Amazon, Apple, MSFT, Meta & Nvidia didn't face "China risk", but AI f

This is a ruse and a manufactured 'much to do about nothing"... the real source of power in America is the CIA & associated Think Tanks and Wall Street law firms - not the Pentagon, especially as far as domestic policy is conc

In all likelihood, LLMs will converge towards few hardware efficient PLs and will ignore all others. Debugging a program will become like debugging your relationships - you argue until one side gives up or both are exhausted!

Bezos didn't define "society", but knowing Devil is what Devil does, we can infer: 1. Amazon files the most petitions for H1-B work visas after Indian IT shops. 2. Amazon opposed minimum wage increase to $15/hr until 201

A fun litmus test for it would be to de-trend S&P500 to its individual components and to identify and rank contributions of all 500 stocks. But that alone would not get it a job at Rentec or the NSA. Unlike most commercial & medica

Never trust anything written by lawyers/economics/MBAs on climate change - only analysis by chemical or mechanical engineers is worth reading. Methane pyrolysis is an old technology from early days of oil refining for production o

SAT & CSP are criminally under utilized in CS classes, because profs have no clue about them. That's why in so many industries they prefer to hire engineers and OR grads and teach them python, than hire SWE and teach them modeling

It's wrong to assume people know classical physics formalism well and then and only then, they'll learn QM! QM pedagogy problem is, how to teach QM to people who don't know physics beyond [F= ma], and math beyond algebra, dif

That's not a book about QM but about "philosophy" of how QM is interpreted. Even if you master every word in it, you won't be able to do any real QM. Besides, Einstein is just about the worst physicist to learn from on Q

This study is by Media Lab, which along with Sloan School, Econ, and newly minted Schwarzman College of Computing are not on par with the old school MIT! Besides academics are bitter since LLMs are better at teaching than they are!

Explore use of LLM instead of passive viewing of videos. Pass the link to LLM and ask to summarize it and generate a synopsis and quiz you. We don't learn from lectures, we learn from problem solving Also, be modest and assume you&#x

Interestingly, Trump just bombed Iran's nukes program, but his EO demands at least 20 civil nuclear deals, internationally. Who might be these 20 countries?
