I live in Boston, MA. Taco Bell is horrendously low quality, I can only imagine it's right at the border of being "barely legal to sell" it as food. If you eat it and don't get explosive diarrhea you should consider your

I agree with you I like Chebyshev Distance too, but as far I can tell you, dot product is not that much more complex than Chebyshev, I'd classify them as about the same. But if there is a good argument to argue Chebyshev is much simple

Simplicity is a feature, unless there is a good justification, it's not always better to have a more complex model.

This is a very odd statement and depicts the different ways human brain works. As a musician, I find playing (or thinking music in terms of) sheet music so much more intuitive than play by ear. It feels like the very reason people notate, w

It's not possible to do so due to having my entire life here and nothing "back home" where I haven't even visited last 15 years. I have my fiancée, my cat, my house, my career here and there I have nothing. Would you lea

This is a very naive take. There are people who live paycheck to paycheck with the threat of homelessness. They can't just "accept" they have burnout, they have to work as if they don't just like any other person. I my

How does one write something like a math textbook in Word, I'm curious how it's even possible. Do you handwrite every single formula in the point-and-click UI, wouldn't that be extremely time consuming and expensive?

Obsidian is an extremely extensible and customizable software. Truthfully, there is no text editor as customizable as Emacs, but if you're looking for something other than that, Obsidian is pretty close to being "Emacs for Markdow

This is also what I do. I use markdown+git for all kinds of writing. I use Obsidian with tons of extensions. It's integrated with my personal knowledge base, notes etc. If I'm writing fiction or poetry, one file is one chapter&#x2

GP here, I don't disagree with you, engineering is all about trade-offs and you can't engineer things to perfection by taking months to solve easy problems. You need progress, and efficiency so sometimes less important problems ne

I always find those criticism hilarious. Glass with his "sold out" style made more innovation in WCM tradition than pretty much anyone else in 20th century who lived before him, except perhaps Schoenberg who came close to his leve

The reason is simple, Western classical music was extremely, extremely (and it's impossible to stress this enough: extremely ) conservative in late 20th century. Anything that's not part of the canon Schoenbergian atonalism, or M

Yes and no, it's a bit too simplistic and doesn't explain the actual "why" of Galois Theory, just the how. The brilliant insight Galois figured out is that there is a fundamental connection between fields and groups, but

Does it make sense to buy Nvidia GPUs as a linux user in 2024 anyway? I thought Nvidia has abysmal linux support, if you don't have Nvidia GPU what's the point of LibreCUDA?

Unfortunately it's an extremely unprofitable industry, with very little revenue in general, and that little revenue shared by a few duopolists. Although it's an art, it's capitalistically treated like a craft, successful prac

This statement is correct only on a very basic, fundamental sense, but it disregards the research practice. Let's say you're a mathematician who studies analysis or algebra. Sure, technically there is no fundamental reason for con

Infinity is not a number but transfinite numbers [1] like omega [2] or aleph-null [3] are. They are just as number as 0, 1, -5, 6/7, pi, i, or quaternion numbers. What is a "number" is not well-defined, any mathematical alg

No it's not, you can write an extremely large set of programs in non-Turing complete languages. I personally consider Turing completeness a bug, not a feature, it simply means "I cannot prove the halting problem of this language&q

That's not necessarily the only approach though. In a dependently typed language like Agda, there is also no difference between compile-time or runtime computation, not because things can change any time (Agda is compiled to machine co

That game data is text, and that you reverse the game by hitting backspace are interesting ideas. I'm curious if there is any utility beyond novelty though. It's certainly very creative, I'll be thinking about it.
