Lex Fridman interviewed Carmack not too long ago. Lex is interested in these things, and did ask him about safety. I got the impression that greater societal concerns didn't interest Carmack much. He's in it to built an AGI becaus

This is actually a narrow statement. Look yourself in a mirror. Do you even comprehend yourself? You're an incredibly big bunch of cells, of which only very few of them have any chance of continuing on. If you're male, it's n

This is the thesis swamp. A lot of the young people in these swamps are in a bad place. The university I attended many years ago almost didn't have that swamp for Master's students. It was largely attributed to students working in

I don't think this is a very thorough discussion, but it does raise some points that people interested in nuclear tech might not be aware of. There's a somewhat more detailed discussion in this article, linked from the above artic

I think there are too many concepts in this, but rather than being negative, here are some tips: Always keep your models slim. Don't stuff template related stuff in there. You need to look at those models often, so compact is a win. co

If you need to dry stuff really quick, get a little cheap desk fan of the kind sold in warm summers and point that to the wet stuff. I use it to dry out my children's boots.

I would recommend you two start with something simpler, e.g. the Klavierbüchleins that contain simple practice pieces for his children, and work your way up. Those pieces still have the same magic. Volume two of the Suzuki method for piano

I'm not into Gould because I too find much of his playing misguided and awful, so my understanding may be incorrect, but I think back in Gould's days, the general piano style was much more virtuoso. I think Gould provided some nee

In my opinion, Gould had some things that worked for him, but also some that certainly didn't. Like the link you sent, the fact that he's staccatoing the broken chords in the first prelude... Why? It's horrible. If you want s
