Where's Chapter 1? And wouldn't it be great if huge textbooks like these had a detailed dependency graph, so you could easily build up through a sequence of topic modules to reach something that interests you.

Doctors are not trained scientists but I imagine the authors took the inductive position that many people at the wedding did not get the heart attack and the woman who ate the wasabi was triggered by it. Come to think of it, triggers ar

The point is that people before phonics were capable of becoming literate without phonics. The article is saying that phonics is necessary , which is stronger than saying phonics improves literacy rates. If phonics were necessary then peop

But English is phonetic (but is it, compared to German or Japanese?) which is conflation with phonics . The article did not clearly explain what cognitive science has to do with phonics, which AFAIT is a heuristic system for Western langua

Was Albert Einstein or Richard Feynman taught phonics? Obviously we don't have to be restricted to a specific era as long as it is pre-phonics.

I'm a little confused, was Shakespeare taught phonics?

I don't know if anyone has come up with this answer, but I would try to argue that there is an ethical obligation for us to force the alien superpowers to shut down the simulation, or else emancipate us as artificial life forms in thei

I wonder if since we really only eat the tentacles, which have regenerative abilites, maybe they're easier to grow in the lab than beef or something. Like, I get the argument that the authors (who are largely white and probably didn&#x

It's so people don't have to choose so Amazon is literally choosing for you. I've picked Amazon's Choice a couple times because I gave up trying to research what would actually be the right product for me.

I have Blued, but I barely use it as loading pics and messages on it is so sluggish. There's literally a spinning cursor that comes up for actions that should be quite trivial for the user.

Is there a standard book or lecture that explains the stuff like conflict clauses and literal watch? I see informal tutorials but something more fully explained, but not overly technical would be useful for people interested in applications

It's easy to understand if you agree that US hypocrisy is crucially protected by manufactured consent and propaganda. Most people fall in two categories, either a) not heard of Chomsky, or b) think he's wrong.

My understanding is that the undecidability of the halting problem is equivalent to the undecidability of the decision version of compression (does a given string have a Kolmogorov representation, or not). They're saying the same thing

Technically it means if you're trying to write an algorithm to play Magic the same algorithm could translated and applied to solving the halting problem (i.e. a reduction of Halt to Magic exists). So your task is that difficult. Thus

I was 19 and didn't talk like that. Doesn't it say something about a person's personality?

That's interesting to know, I think the 737 Max looks very kitbash because of the way the engines dangle in front of the wings.

I find Hossenfelder problematic because if you look at the rhetoric the blog post itself is relying on intuition and in essence a beauty argument in order to make a sociological point. I think Hossenfelder has a point about the state of pr

I don't understand your reasoning. Because, you could also "formulate" CH in the "language" of Turing machines. But that is clearly disanalogous to what the article is saying.

You're better suited for research which is about working long term on open problems.

This is too simplistic. Most people spend the majority of their lives toiling away at work that they enjoy less than other tasks. There are lots of reasons for this, but most abstractly, it is a fact of human survival. What we can do as a c
