   Thanks for this detailed comment and that above. Have you got links to any blog posts or code that we could look at to review in detail?

   It’s a good answer. Another is that the goal of education is not always for practical application. This is one of the most important discoveries of mankind ever, and it would be a pity not to be exposed to it.

   Tangentially related: I once worked at a start up that went public. One of the big changes during this time was that they scaled the team substantially. The skill level per person went way down at this time. Eg it was not uncommon for a

   Here’s another as valid as given in the post. A/ b = exp(log(a) - log(b)) No multiplication or division!

   Agreed. One aspect I’d like to understand better is how the dynamics will change. Eg today a highly popular post can stay up for a whole day. I get the sense that the new algo may flush things through more rapidly: Consider two posts, wit

   I’ve read that the development of double entry book keeping was very important, enabling less error in accounting, then driving significant gains in commerce. But reading this didn’t explain exactly why. Is it just the simple sum rule tha

    Curious how these will work. The charging time must be much longer than gas fill ups take.

    I can’t answer on stats, would also like to know. I’ve read Berkeley requires these for all faculty openings and promotions. Also below is a particularly egregious example from Canada, where it explicitly states white straight men need not

    But I’d also like others to do what they can to help society.

    I don’t buy it personally. The logic you give to suggest we don’t have a responsibility to help others seems like it would also just as well imply we can feel free to hurt others, and I disagree with that. Finally, within the frame of our

    Your critique may be fair, but I appreciate the perspective that laments lost mastery of old methods and tools. Although it’s true that many today are proficient in the old math methods, nothing beats using it day in and day out. The new

    It seems many of the policies advocated for by “the woke” are motivated by such simplistic logic that they ultimately have the opposite effect of their intentions. We must balance grace with truth. Of course in this case oberlin leadership

    I would consider it favoritism if they were only trying to accommodate the special needs of a certain group, here the religious Jews, perhaps out of deference to religion… which seems to be a point of concern of the op since he goes on abou

    My hot take: eating the icecream purchased for the observant Jews does make him a jerk. If he wants a special icecream for himself he should ask for one. Edit: adding some further thoughts. this was an action that subverted another’s int

    I think this is one of the most honest takes here from a person supporting what happened, and so appreciate this comment. I don’t agree this event was justified. Further I think it caused a lot of damage to our country by very significantl

    I’d pay a premium to access teachers like your wife. I’m not against my children having whatever politics they come to through their experiences, but am very weary of biased presentation and indoctrination.

    I’m very interested in home schooling for this reason but am concerned about two things: both my wife and I work, and social interaction for my son with kids his age. Trying to think about solutions for both of these. Advice?

    I’m mostly pro capitalism / trade but would support moves like this for critical manufacturing and other production important for stability. Wars happen, see eg concerns raised around Europe and heating for this coming winter.

    I’ve never seen these applied to a problem other than when one wants to increase the dimension of the matrix by one or vice versa… very eye opening. Will look for applications in my own work now. Also appreciated the derivation of sorts of

    I wonder if the lack of voices you notice is at all related to the well-publicized data indicating conservatives do not feel they can express their opinions publicly without risk of punishment.
