This is a pretty obtuse perspective. Fiction can be written for the express purpose of achieving insight. Just because something is fictional or humorous doesn't limit that - it can emphasise it. See - A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swi

Chaos is the extreme dependence on initial conditions. The three body problem is significantly more chaotic than a two body problem. Welcome to chaos theory!

Much to my pedantic horror upon reading, they don't need the solution to a three body problem, but a four body problem!

As a casual chess player I'm not sure more drawish chess is something we want? I know there has been some exploration into a chess variation without castling which apparently can lead to more vibrant aggressive chess due to the king be

It is still very difficult to get a curve from a pro ball, it's just more possible. If you get one of these you are more likely to be confused with what it is doing that to suddenly be bowling turkeys and picking up spares.

Definitely the sort of psychiatrist the modern-era needs. I appreciate the treatment of the underlying emotions separated from the technology. You will experience envy with or without social media, it seems naive succumbing to the oft repea

My evaluation is that he is enormously intelligent. And like many people of enormous intelligence he suffers from something like an over-connected brain. He is too good at spotting connections between things, connections that potentially

I remember Jack Ma coming out as in-favour of this sort of work ethic. I find it nauseating that people believe this stuff, I don't usually want to yuk someone's yum, but enforcing this on people is just unhuman. I would consider

Seems like most people did nothing in the first wave - only to pat themselves on the back when the rates were low in the summer. You may have to wait till the winter in the simulation to see how well that strategy really works... funny how

My name is a homophone for probably one of the first verbs you ever learn. I've probably heard every joke in the book, and a few more too. My niece has the same name as a popular plant-based spread. Policing this space is fruitless. Yo

The ability to build any project is a strange thing you learn after a few years as a software engineer. As a jnr. dev I was completely awed at my co-workers ability to understand build/compiler errors. Well you basically get that for f

Hey man - be careful reading stuff alright? Probably best to just take a breather from reading stuff about yourself, it can't feel good. Humans weren't designed to be yelled at by more people than you can fit in a room.

How does he resolve that humans achieve the ability to "abduct"? I just don't buy that there is something ineffable about humans - and even if there is, why can't we just plug that process into a computer?

I read the article - but it doesn't explain why high schools are doing this. Is it purely sexism? Could it be that girls are performing better than boys and the pursuit of a 50/50 gender split increases the requirements for girls?
