Of course he has a right to say his opinion. And this doesn't even count as "complaining".

Exercises without detailed solutions are useless. If I don't have direct access to a tutor I need solutions, otherwise there's no point - I can never check whether I'm right, I'm stuck, or I'm making mistakes that a

Are you implying CL was a language for 'the ivory tower'? That couldn't be more wrong.

Yeah, I didn't mean this book specifically, rather the presentation as an example.

I think interactive linear algebra could be superior to a pure textbook. So, a textbook with interactive visualisations that show a concept and allow manipulation. Something like this maybe: https://textbooks.math.gatech.edu&#x2F

It's not really competitive though, is it? I tested it and 4o is just better.

I'm also using this and it's really not bad.

I love projects such as this. Although I don't know how successful they're in actually getting new insights - artificial life was the reason I wanted to study informatics.

A commute of 2-3 hours means you have lots of time to meditate or read, if that's something you want to do.

Again, I'm sure that everyone has 10 spare minutes each day at a minimum to meditate. You can meditate even during a commute. It's your choice to make the time if it's important to you. Nobody is so busy to be unable to med

> meditate Meditation is free and does not take a lot of time. Anyone can meditate, nobody is too busy to have 15 or 20 minutes a day for meditation. The same goes for exercise. 1 hour is 4% of the day.
