In my experience, the best way to get better at math is to do a lot of it. Find some book that's "good enough" for some topic you're interested, and work many many problems from the book. You'll learn about the topi

I love this idea. The top of the line GPT models are great at summarizing information and making generic, context-aware responses. The novelty comes from the interaction with a human, and gives a customized therapy-like experience. Crazy pr

Whoa fascinating. What makes it necessary to commit after V1?

Apparently his Mac was like an extension to Adams’ brain, and all of his work was stored on it. It might make it more brittle to changing technology, but on the other hand it was hugely productive for him.

Is there a reason not to used federated queries to hit postgres directly?

I agree. Phrased slightly differently: It’s a pity this post is fat shaming, because it _is_ a distraction from an otherwise interesting post. Intentional or not, it unnecessarily gets in a dirty jab that cuts deep.

I think this is incorrect. As stated in the article: “One were to weigh themselves every day and throw away all of the results which showed an increase in weight.” Imagine I weigh 190 today, and I measure 180 tomorrow, 185 the day after, an

Actually, no. The number depends on the position at the table—rotations are distinct. For 3 couples: Mrs A must sit between Mr B and Mr C. Mr B can be on her left or her right, 2 possibilities. After those two seats are chosen, everyone els

It’s a statement submitted to the record for a Congressional hearing tomorrow. Seems SBF won’t be attending after all…

As a top-of-her-field academic and policymaker, I can’t think of many who are better suited than Yellen to directly engage SBF on the substance of what’s happened

There’s also the matter of the hacked funds last night, and the juicy theory that SBF used his back door to steal even more cash. You can’t make it up!

There’s as much evidence for your theory as there is for GP’s

Almost like Musk has no clue what he's doing, just winging it — and doing a poor job of it.

I think this is needlessly pessimistic. A virus spreading uncontrolled in one of the world’s largest cities? It would be journalistic malpractice _not_ to report on it in the current climate

This gave me fond flashbacks to the book Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. There's lots of details about this type of infrastructure necessary to support human habitation, to say nothing of kickstarting terraforming. Worth a read if yo

You wouldn't be the target audience. That sounds pretty interesting to me, and I'd be particularly interested in the science that underpins physical engineering — structured and systematic knowledge, rather than ad hoc engineering

I understand what you mean, but this sounds like it could quickly degenerate into gatekeeping: "You're not a scientist [by my definition]! No posts for you"

I’ve always thought the “better accessibility” relates to getting meaningful outputs from your coding. There’s typically a complex set of arcane incantations necessary to get visuals, much less interactive ones…Processing really elevates an

This is a failure to understand responsibility here. The professor is not responsible for holding your hand and explain every little term—especially terms like “office hours”, which are bog standard at literally every university. This isn’t

Uh yeah, karaoke isn’t an excuse to say racial slurs…you still have to try to be a decent human being who doesn’t make people around you feel like shit.

The reason the author says it so many times is because it is so hard to do in practice :) You have an opportunity to distinguish yourself. You already stand out and break the mold as someone with a nonstandard background, and it will get no

Weird!! This is such a strange and fascinating approach to narrative. This is kind of a stretch but… This reminds me of tabletop RPGs, like D&D (more fixed world, DM-mediated / -adjudicated, there is a single Truth to be learned) v
