I don't. It makes me sick to my stomach. I am speaking as someone who is pro-choice, pro-GMO's and pro-stem cell research, etc. This research has crossed a line that none of the above do. It is creating a new kind of sentience,

Can you explain more about this?

Hi! I am not the OP, but just emailed you about a free online event I am organizing (Flutter Vikings).

I am not sure what your "discrete math courses" were and if you have already taken these but, the Linear Algebra and Differential Equations courses on Kahn Academy are solid intros to the basics of those subjects.

I recently finished "We Have No Idea" by Jorge Cham and Daniel Whiteson. Its a masterpiece of science communication and I cannot recommend it enough as a way for non-physicists to get a grasp on this concept, as well as related on

I'm really happy to see this, they have a great product.

If you need help or someone to ask questions about the material, than it is very valuable to have access to a teacher or tutor. Sure, a lot can be self-taught. But some material is just hard and many people will require a more knowledgeable

In that case, you would need to be the only actor who has the technology. Otherwise you have to worry about all the issue you cited again.

He explicitly said that experience does matter. It's just that it was a well known argument so he wouldn't bother retreading it. So, I'm not sure what your point is.

I tried both this and Sketchup for a home modelling project. I ended up paying for Sketchup because it was so much easier to use. I did not need the degree of control you can get with FreeCAD, so it was just wasted time and energy.

"I think about it like even numbers. There’s an unlimited number of even numbers but obviously they’re limited, right? Because 3s and 7s aren’t in there. Language is like that. There’s an unlimited number of possible things we can say,

Wow, I see you have already thought about this exact question a great deal. This was a clear and compelling answer. Your pitch deck is impressive. Good luck!

This reminds of Energy Vault [1], which is based on the same principle, just above ground. Doing this above ground seems to make a lot more sense when you consider all of the additional costs associated with digging and maintain massive sha

You really ought to read I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. The author has already thought of basically the same thing and written a rather compelling yet disturbing short story about. In 1967, no less.

Yes, I live in Oslo. Ouch, that is really rough. I hope your severance was enough to carry you through until you can find something new. My partner is in petro-adjacent company* and they have a full hiring freeze. We are wondering when the

Since you are Norwegian, and presumably working for a Norwegian company, I am curious how such a layoff was possible. Was it an actual layoff or are you permittert?

My first thought was how ridiculously out of touch with the economic reality of the 99% this author was. Even if you love an artist and are willing to spend some amount of money to support them, that amount is not going to be anywhere near

I have never worked or applied for FANG. But, I have worked with several ex-FANGers. So, my only advice is: Just don't be that person that wears your Google (or whatever) jacket for the next 5 years. It sends strange signals to your co

She looks down her nose at "science fiction" and claims that her work is "speculative fiction" instead. It is a pretentious, pedantic distinction and, as a lifelong scifi fan, it makes me deeply ambivalent to anything sh

It says "Pay for what you generate" Do they mean "Get paid for what you generate"? Or am I missing something really fundamental here?

I love fancy coffee, lattes especially. When I was younger, an explicit goal of mine was to become financially secure enough that I could afford a latte a day without sweating it. I used it as a yardstick for success and also knew that it w

I think this is a bit of a false dichotomy. There are plenty of " truly " interesting software engineering jobs, no CS required. There is a lot that goes into designing a good CRUD app (yes, I said it). There are many trade offs,

Well, it really depends on the kind of battery. I don't understand why these utilities are not creating a centralized battery in the form of, for example, pumped water. Use excess energy in the day to pump the water up, and let it down
