People complaining that the hysteresis used in the article is different from the one they learned in school are incorrect. To begin with, in its introduction the wikipedia page on hysteresis already says: “Hysteresis can be a dynamic lag be

Hurrah, Constantines! I thought this would be about the Grand Dukes and maybe the Decembrists, but this is not a bad disappointment.

Since the article comes from a “crypto”-related site, perhaps I can make a metaphoric (& mildly schizophrenic) response without getting downvoted. Google is USD and Meta wants to be Gold. The % of businesses that accept mainstream curre

Alluded in the article: his stuff is categorized as “self-help”. As a social phenomenon, “self-help” is believers-only. Since de Botton’s academically inclined, it’s probably the best of a horrid torrid bunch?

Maybe this is the reason people can be so smart and not rich: they trust their own judgement over that of others and fail to make either what NSF want or what VCs think what other people want. At least in academia there is peer review to sh

In a sense, the difference between entrepreneurs and (idealized) academics is in making what people want right now versus making what they think people (in the future, might) want. So, trusting other people’s judgement over your own, includ

I think its a bit of misnomer, because YC will always object to being called tech bros. But going by all the verbage on the topic, I would say a close approximation would be: “Embedded Growth Obligator” (may sound more broish in Spanish YMM

Do you have a direct link to the data you mention? Something more specific than a general “help! I am lost!” would go a long way. I dont really see it in the article. OTOH, here is the wikipage of the one gene mentioned https://e

The solution might be to have HN allow editorializing of paper titles. Papers are generally less clickbaity but their titles are impossible.

It isn’t that strange in Europe, or even parts of America. When funding is buzzword driven, everyone adjacent or even not so adjacent try to spin themselves into the latest fad. I have seen physics professors turn into data scientists overn

You got it. I don’t know how things worked in the old days before people started to think that becoming Einstein or Witten was a plausible career path, and academia oriented itself to deal with the demand. But. To imagine that culture-fit m

Yeah, it doesnt make sense to make school more like work. Homework is already despised, how can schooljobs be anything more than that? What about making work more like school? Making corporations more like college? Some may prefer that.

Yea, “religious” in the context of physics means, for me at least, more like “metaphysical” (with a nod to Brian Green & a caveat that nowhere near a professional unnatural philosopher am I). Should I say metatheoretical? As you both re

Heck, as a physicist let me clue you in: most physicists simply use single words or short phrases to describe a whole vague bunch of related concepts. What the hell is “entanglement”. Oh my if physicists from two different subfields would t
