This is interesting. I have to say that for all the power that Python has in the scientific community, and scientific computation in particular, visualization has a long way to go. There are charts I made 5 years ago in C++ using a framewor

I think this is a great list, and I'm so glad Susan took the time to lay all of this out! I have to add these two books to the list. I was surprised to see they didn't make it, even though she nailed some of the other "bibles

Chiming in to say that I have the same exact experience :) I work in security, and we use these methods to detect anomalies or classify malicious content or URLs. A silly false positive is embarrassing, even if it happens once. Humans alway

You aren't alone - I don't take well to unsolicited advice, unless it's about avoiding traffic :)

Thanks, I think I finally get it - and the experiment would definitely confirm your point. How does our inner ear chooses to uses the ground vs a point on the treadmill as it's starting point? I keeping wanting to think that I'm i

Thanks very much for breaking it down for me. I guess what I don't really understand is how I can tell the difference when I'm blindfolded. If I am undergoing the same force with my feet on the treadmill than I do on the sidewalk,

Thanks for taking the time with me. Acceleration for me is a change in a velocity - isn't that what is going on ? Velocity is a change in distance, and to me it seems there must be a change in distance - since there is energy being spe

I'm starting to understand yours and everyone replies. I think what I had in mind is that I'm accelerating relative to a point on the treadmill, and therefore my entire body is accelerating. I can't wrap my head around the fa

Sorry, you're right. After reviewing your comments and debating long with my best friend (what are best friends for, anyways), I finally see my flaw. I didn't consider the inner ear not accelerating whether or not the treadmill be

How does my inner ear know I'm accelerating on the treadmill or the ground ? What if I blindfolded myself ? The treadmill is just like the ground, for all intents and purposes.

See my replies to the rest of the comments. The point is, you have to use the surface of the treadmill as your frame of reference. Then, it's obvious that your body has moved relative to where it started.

by shamino 11y ago
This is the same misunderstanding that many people are having. Your frame of reference while on the treadmill should be the surface of the treadmill. Once you jumped off, you switched your frame of reference to the ground of the earth. Keep

In your argument, your string and fuzzy die are not measured with respect to the surface of the treadmill, which is the frame-of-reference you should be considering. If you think of it this way, then yes, your fuzzy die will "lean forw

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment - I still don't understand your point. It's as if you're saying, "because the treadmill (or you) don't move with respect to the ground, you don't experience mov

> Plus, the treadmill also does not provide the bodily acceleration required to prevent sickness because you are stationary relative to the earth while you use it. I didn't really get this point. So what if the treadmill is station

I definitely agree that leaving academia opens new doors that can make you just as happy, but I can also say that there is not a place outside academia that is like academia.

I think that people who signed up for YCR are looking for alternatives, and who will themselves be part of a biased group. In other words, it might be people who have struggled to find tenure-track positions in academia. I think I'm ma

With all due respect to Sam Altman and everything he's accomplished, this is a pretty snarky comment that does not spend the time to thoughtfully answer the very real concern that OP presented. It's a huge risk to leave academia t

Treat salary negotiation as trying to solve a problem together, as opposed to trying to get a better figure for yourself. When you can convince your potential employer that it's a problem that you want to work with together, your emplo

I was just going to write this exact comment. I am a data scientist, and I do not think the $60,000 price tag is worth it. I might do it for $2,000 or $3,000, but that's already being a little generous. The $60,000 price tag must come
