You're going to want to optimize the hell out of it and ensure it's correct, then never revisit it. Balderdash. Claptrap. Codswallop. Poppycock. What if you want to revisit it to make it run on parallel processors? Optimize it f

It can also happen quickly with isolated parents if they're at a transition point (still living home) and a scammer walks in. I had a friend who's father was starting to suffer from dementia and had a woman who got control of some

I chuckled at that calculator portion of the comment. It's hilarious,when you think about it.

This is true from what I see among friends, anecdotally.

Hardware like fpgas peaked in the 90s as a value proposition. The future is algorithmic and abstract from hardware.

Your application domain is probably targeting a market of 10 customers you can obscenely overcharge, like a mainframe manufacturer circa 1976. There is nothing special about The area you work in that renders it immune to economic forces, if

Yeah. It's misworded. It's more like, given a particular person, and a given instant in time, compute the average of an ensemble of people. It makes no sense.

Seems like a few folks here know how to project a single sample onto a vector valued function. Brilliant people.

by aswanson 7y ago
Exactly. I remember asking a prof in undergrad what the spectrum of a single time sample would be. He didn't give me a straight answer, but I realized later that question was equivalent to asking what the average age of a single person

HBS is also a trailer in terms of what is on the horizon and is an indicator of what not to do. There are studies done showing that most of the grads chase the worst fad at the worst time. In 1989 they were all chasing Japanese manufacturin

There is a bloat of capital seeking any and all possibility for growth. Even money-destroying companies are going public because growth-chasing has become so desperate.

That's when you know you've found a passion. A lot of guys work on cars on weekends and it's not a job. My dad was into it, I always found it a pain in the ass when something went wrong with a vehicle. He didnt, it always got

I used to feel that way. Now I invite criticism, it's great for learning/perspective-shift and saves you from fielding bugs. Detached humility is best when you're doing iterative/evolutionary work, which software develop

My intent was to illustrate how incidental we are in the scheme of things, and thus should take extreme care if our goal is to continue to exist.

We could, and are, rather easily. The more complex the life-form/system, the more vulnerable it is to simple attack.

What are your thoughts on Modern Monetary Theory, that the debt will never be a problem because the US is a currency issuer?

We're basically as significant to the Earth existing as a mold strain is to a mountainside. If we're idiotic enough to trigger a climate catastrophe that wipes us out, this ball will keep on spinnin'...
