Yeah, this makes sense to me. I have not read the linked article, but I wonder, does it discuss this? I caught another comment lower down that says the article mentions that labour costs in India are "only 2x" less than the labour

Well, this is sadly the best we have in the field, where by "field" I mean: "accessible algebraic geometry for graphics". Blinn provides some notes as to where his material comes from (see the page). He also mentions tha

No, sadly, this is the best we have. However, Blinn writes that some of this material was presented in more detail in some of his "Jim Blinn's corner" articles.

The skeptic in me wonders to what extent this is due to strengthening of labour laws in China; if India's labor laws are relatively weaker, and it provides better optics (a "democracy"!) then that might explain Apple's m

I am glad that your story worked out as it did. For others who might be coming across it, let me provide my story, which pans out very differently. I was recently diagnosed with CPTSD (but it took a long time for doctors to reach that concl

I don't understand, where does eat the rich come in here? Academia is usually made up of people who are (relatively) rich and privileged. This has nothing to do with "eat the rich", and everything to do with answering the que

It's not, because it's remarkably hard to find someone who is a "dark twin". People's life-trajectories are remarkably different, being chaotic processes, so it ends up being counter-productive to compare yourself t

Making an anti-viral is hard. No where near as easy as making an antibiotic (and even that can be hard, because: evolution).

I'm not sure if it's just me, but this feels like a terrible article. It simply does not explain why "self-attention" is called self-attention in the first place, which would be very helpful for building intuition. Lucki

Also, I don't think you ought to consider "when I was 17, I could do basic calculus in my head" as a sign of more ability than you have today. The problems were likely not that hard, since you were 17. Do you practice doing l

Scientists have never claimed that survival of the fittest is sufficient for development. bwo.life sets up a strawman to tilt against. A waste of time.

A lot of this was painful. I'll comment on bwo.life, since it is somewhat close to some of the things I know a little bit more about. > Despite all this life and death, I doubt whether anyone would be tempted to describe the embryo’

Yeah, I really don't think you should (and neither should I), since we're never as smart as we think we are. The author did not mean tortious, but instead tortuous . But one immediately gathers this from the context anyway. Who c

I don't see how I'm missing the central thesis of [3]. If a strategy X develops for eliminating a virus Y, Y will undergo positive selection to escape targeting by X. X can be whatever target scheme our immune systems first fixate

Reference [1] is applicable to how our body handles an immune response to the viral infection in general: i.e. whether naturally acquired, or through controlled vaccination. Natural infections were, naturally focused upon, in order to under
