My (I would consider) fairly deranged father was astounded that repeated beatings, threats to kill or abandon me, encouragements to commit suicide etc. caused 12 year old me to have anxiety and develop odd social behaviors and diagnosed me

All of those seem like they’re actually much worse career choices than being a writer. Why would he recommend people to do this? Is it a joke Reminds me of some weirdo bodybuilder on YouTube who advised a viewer suffering from depression to

FORTRAN is definitely still used all over the place in scientific computing... If you go to a CS department that does some engineering work and work on numerical you might have to write some.

It’s so funny when you think about it. People are scouring the globe looking for places to put their money. They’ll hire armies of people to look for places to put their money. If I remember right Felix Dennis talked about this a lot in his

I think Facebook is fine for the demographic its designers are/were (educated middle class and above elite). All of its problems seem to me to result from extending its service to the frankly deranged masses of humanity and not fencin

It is! That’s exactly what I’ve done. Who knows if this will continue indefinitely though.

I don’t know any of machine learning but I’ve heard folks in some fields will prefer a gradient descent algorithm even though it doesn’t have nice convergence speed because the Hessian (Hessian approximation) will be too huge or difficult t

For me it was cause I wanted to beat the shit out of my curve and get scholarship money and letters for grad school. Similar sentiments are found in Hardy’s book I think. If you spend enough time around math professors you will certainly he

Hmm, I know some bosses who really enjoyed making people “accountable” but didn’t seem to enjoy knowing what they were doing, articulating a realistic vision, or making coherent decisions. Why do poor bosses only seem to like that part of t

Well a lot of folks are working on it. I’m not sure if anyone has done anything strikingly successful with eg spiking neural networks or something. These guys built a more biologically plausible model and got it to do very simple tasks htt

That’s interesting. Perhaps the intention is to completely ruin the employee’s dignity and will (and render them more compliant) by forcing them to beg several fat middle managers for the privilege of doing their own job.

Hmm, that’s true. Many might consider this a reasonable argument for the product not being bad.
