Wow... I never said it was your problem, in fact I mentioned that my problems were "self-imposed". I simply stated that I have problems that exist as well, with comparable, or worse severity to yours, despite being male. I asked h

Yeah, I understand what you are saying. I have a long break scheduled for the end of June where I hope to step back and get a look at the bigger picture...

I feel like neural network accelerators are too small a market to replace their microprocessor business.

What are Intel and other semiconductors planning to pivot to when they can no longer reduce process size at a reasonable pace (i.e. now)? Is there a plan, or is it an existential wall?

It also implies mind reading. How do they know that for sure? They don't.

You've just replaced the problem of collapse with the problem of which universe we transition to. We are only in one.

Philosophical issues mean that the theory is wrong and new physics will come from their resolution, and thus philosophical issues can be decided experimentally.

Yes there are. Even without invoking any philosophical issues, quantum mechanics admits it's not self-contained. It takes measurement - the act of an outsider interacting with a system, which collapses the wavefunction, as a postulate.

The real myth is that schools actually prepare you for specific problems on the job, as you have asserted. I have helped hire people before and I would say that schools do very little good specialized training. Almost everything learned i

why data science and not something where physics degrees confer more of a comparative advantage? Something like telecommunications engineering or something of that sort?

but I'm sure, given your anticipation, you prepared alternative pathways to employment, such as taking CS classes, doing internships?

Note: they can really only "frontrun" you if you are making a massive trade. Even then, from the other side it's not really perceived as frontrunning, rather as "getting out of the way" of a huge order that's

What is the difference between formal methods as implemented by TLA+, proof assistants like Coq, and theorem proving languages like Agda (Idris?)?

f(x) = 0. Move along it by moving perpendicular to the gradient of f.

If you are an adult man who is single (I assumed from the ability to go on walkabout), then you are actually not the average - you have lots of free time.

Any real implementation of Distributism would require a strong state and police force to enforce it and in practice would look identical to socialism.

What do these people owe the world? Nothing. How much net positive does the average person due to for the world? Not much. Are intelligent people your slaves? You mean some smart person who's done some good for the world should be asha

This is a really bad attitude. People should be able to take care of themselves and their families financially. You shouldn’t shame them for not living like monks.

Well the whole point of the question was to be careful unless you become the kind of person who murders people so it's a little ironic that you completely dismissed it.
