People will never be perfect, and being able to work with that is an important skill. Besides, most of this material is basic good communication that can be applied with anyone. The stakes are just higher with your boss than your peer.

It's perhaps naive and over-simplistic, but the s-curve is so well-established you can probably fit the production cost curve over time to the s-curve and get a useful prediction. There's lots of hard work that goes into making it

Yet, without such favorable conditions to develop sailing, would the lateen have been invented? (technology ladder theory) The more we learn about the Mediterranean, the more I am struck that it was the perfect crucible, and that it is no

That's a new angle I had never considered before, thank you. I have certainly hypothesized before that most people could be quite attractive if they took good care of themselves (exercise, sleep, etc) but I never connected that idea as

That was my first reaction, but: The effect is only present in courses with significant teacher–student interaction. When education is in-person, attractive students receive higher grades in non-quantitative subjects, in which teachers t

We love to gloss over the implementation phase of design and valorize the concept phase. I theorize it’s because implementation is a lot more work, and usually lacks a singular hero figure. We make exceptions when there is; see Woz.

Flow has nothing to do with what other people define as hard. It’s fundamentally personal. Flow is a task that is hard enough for you that it is still work, but you are skilled enough you can do it masterfully. It’s when you think to

For sustained loads you are only supposed to draw 12A, and the PSU has a conversion loss, dropping you to perhaps 10A of power for it all. Plus, then you can’t run anything else on the circuit.

“Flow” is not the typical addictive video game, with a dopamine reward cycle. It’s when you do something hard, satisfying, and you are good enough to relax into doing that hard thing. Aptly-named “flowy” mountain bike trails are a great exa

Well, a nihilist would argue your suffering & suffocation doesn’t matter either. Of course, the paradox is if your suffering doesn’t matter, why bother avoiding suffering? Yet, if nothing matters, why not avoid suffering?

Bicycles have 200-300W to work with. Motorcycles have 50,000-125,000W to work with. One puts a far higher premium on efficiency than the other.

They aren't going after economies. If you look closely at their design choices, they are building a pure scale-out vector machine unlike anything else currently on the market. I'm guessing they expect it to be head & shoulders

I've always been curious why. Was Final Cut the Excel of the arts? Perhaps it was integrated platform color control? I don't recall PPC being dramatically faster, or supporting much more memory.

Neural networks are commonly evaluated with matrix multiplication. A matrix multiply is orders of magnitude faster if all three matrices fit in your caches. So you want to tune the matrix size to the hardware.

Agreed; I figure the necessary missing piece is government dampening this effect. Some way or another, to balance it out you need to “leak” capital faster & faster as you accumulate it. The size of the leak would be tuned to allow you t

Did you read all the press about lonely single people in lockdown, starved of human touch for six months or more, talking about what that was like? I don’t think many people came away from lockdown with the same viewpoint as you.

I guess I’m protesting that while B is better for an individual, it doesn’t work for the whole country. It’s the equivalent of having a well-connected relative abroad to get you out. It’s a godsend, but it doesn’t scale.

It’s probably a good ol perfectly rational slippery slope. Fixing a minor mistake or two in post is absolutely the best choice for everyone. Each additional fix is not worth a reshoot either. But slip too far and the product suffers.
