I think this is a bad argument for an essentially correct position, an unintentional strawman, presented in good faith. The price of housing is not dependent on how nice the housing is in aggregate, only how much of it there is. The argumen

I believe a more careful reading of what I have written will show that not only do I think that, but it is, in fact, the point that I am making.

I disagree. Moreover, it is rather unfortunately the case that the comments section here has decided to throw a party for the death of formal higher education. I'm here to piss in the punch at that party.

Sure, but I will limit myself to one, which is fairly exemplary. The question is to show that R2 is second countable. This means that it contains a countable base for the topology. The usual way to do this is to pick open balls with rationa

This is very optimistic. I watch people fail to learn things all the time without noticing, especially if they do not have the tools to be honest with themselves , which is a thing that is almost exclusively learned through formal training

The answer is that mathematics is a thing that you can actually assert that someone is doing incorrectly, but for which it will not be obvious to non-mathematicians. If a programmer writes a bad program, the user can tell. If a mathematicia

What? You don't need to learn anything. Dogs don't know any math, and they do fine.

I looked through his topology problems and notes, and he could really use the guidance of a professor, or at least someone to give him feedback. It's not practical to teach yourself mathematics to start before you can really check yo

I've noticed that MBA speak is the most difficult to distinguish from chatGPT output. Chatgpt has structural cues, but other than that its content free in almost exactly the same way that the usual, say, condolence letter is. Almost li

it seems this got flagged for all sorts of reasons, but one significant observation is that they threw away data for people who eat more than 5000 kcal/day as "implausible". Those people are likely to be among the most unheal

There are no troubling ethical issues. This is completely manufactured outrage. No one is forcing anyone to take such a drug. And autism isnt a slur for special neurodivergent geniuses, it's a syndrome, a set of symptoms associated wit

I read something recently here, comparing this phenomenon to the phenomenon of overfitting. The gist is that we want to leverage our ability to measure things that are easy to measure, which are correlated with things that are hard to measu

What you are noticing is that competition is literally the worst strategy that corporations can adopt with respect to each other. Apple and Samsung probably have the keys to each other's destruction, but destroying the other would be b

You can't rip something and compress it badly enough to not violate copyright when you sell it. The point of compression is to throw away information about the original in ascending order of importance.
