I'd love to hear Matt Levine's take on this.

Consider talking to an immigration lawyer about how you can prepare for if the worst happens. Like maybe you can have a playbook ready or something. Or have her documents all collected in one place. (I don't have any expertise here, ju

What are the best introductory textbooks on economics for someone who knows multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations? Preferably with problem sets and solutions to test understanding. (In fact I'd argue books

This is not exactly surprising for a list of books in English.

If you take the assumption that most books average out to ~350 pages in length, then you get a pretty good heuristic that if you read a minimum of N pages per day, then you're likely to complete at least N books per year. 10 pages per

You have to pick some language and some amount of students are likely to be new to it, so you might as well pick one that excels at the task of writing compilers as ML-family languages are.

There's also Math Academy's Math for Machine Learning.

COVID was basically an act of god that effected everyone and for whom no single actor could be blamed. This is the thoughtless incineration of trust in a network of relationships, and that has to be earned back. It's unclear how long t

Voters don't respond to long-term policy wins or economic data. They respond to the perception of their material conditions, and the rise in inflation of the last few years has resulted in regime change all over the world. Liberals are

I think what explains it best is they're so allergic to admitting the outgroup is right that they would sooner burn the entire country to the ground. It's not rational analysis or coherent reasoning. It's tribalism at its cor

People frequently have a gap between their values and their politics, and talking about both can reveal the cognitive dissonance. If they engage with politics as tribalism, and you talk to them about a policy their tribe implemented that co

That's a helluva defense of nuking our trade relationships and sparking a trade war. Like it wasn't perfect but it sure was preferable to what's about to come. We could have kept that and implemented policies that were far le

And? Ask Sowell if he prefers progressive taxation and welfare or rapid spikes in tariffs sparking a global trade war. (He actually was interviewed yesterday and he was very much not a fan of the tariffs.)

executeprogram is excellent for picking up JS/TS. Not necessarily front end, but the language. Frontend Masters might be worth checking out.

If you're graduating with a CS degree, you just have to follow the same advice as for new CS grads. I'd check out resources like csprimer and Math Academy and Frontend Masters to get a solid foundation. After taking an algorithms

Also Math Academy has a Math for Machine Learning course where you actually have to solve problems and get immediate feedback and automated spaced repetition.

This would be more obvious to people if we didn't share a language. It's also true of large countries like India. What most people in the West think of as Indian food or Chinese food is usually cuisine from one to a handful of reg
