Probability theory. Multiple books/courses/videos and I still have problems with recalling basic formulas or solving fairly easy problems. I find it weird because I don't have the same problem with other branches of math.

Every time I run across an episode of this podcast I need to weigh in my interest in a great guest versus having to listen to Lex's monotone voice and meaning-of-life type questions. The disparity is amazing - the list of guests is eas

Ever? Probably. With the current state of technology we don't even know how to approach a problem like this. What you're describing is many many years away.

I meant actual action. The Munich agreement was just a meeting that allowed Germany to keep things up without making any concessions in return. From the wikipedia article that you linked: > Today, the Munich Agreement is widely regarded

Most likely. People often forget that before the invasion of Poland in 1939 Germany had already annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia. So even attacks on neighbouring nations had to escalate quite a bit before any action was taken by the UK an

Still, we have little information and the rest is guesswork. Articles about Google's monorepo say that it had around 2 billion lines in 2016. Should be much higher now. And there's no chance that anyone at IBM knows how many lines

The argumentation here is poor. - there is no explanation of what the "AI philosophy" or "AI way of thinking" is according to the authors - according to the authors this undefined philosophy has caused economical and soc

It's not "just" permitting more characters, it overlays one set of syntax (Julia) with another (mathematical notation). And mathematical notation has no unified standard. > It makes it easier to read the code for everyone

by st1x7 6y ago
My point is that it doesn't make it easy to read for everyone and it was a bad design decision.

Sure but it's not about latex itself. What I meant by "latex" was "the mixing up of code and math notation". That's what's problematic for me.

The Bulgarian example in the language section tells a story of a security guard in a warehouse who is pretending to be on post but is in fact secretly eating meatballs behind some crates.

LaTeX in code is a bad idea and it contradicts Julia's proposition of having clean syntax and being beginner friendly.

It won't be cheaper than my employer paying for an office. That's what I'm comparing to.

by st1x7 6y ago
That sounds like all the downsides of an office with none of the benefits. Plus additional expenses.

Yes - for someone living in a big city half office, half WFH is the worst of everything. It means that I have to maintain an expensive home office, don't get all the benefits of working in an office with other people (which I prefer) a

The book in the original post and the other book from the same author are short surface-level summaries of the field that don't go in depth at all and don't provide any meaningful new content. It's like someone took their per
