First, you have to (or at least - you had to). I mean, it was the only way to sanely include a lot of formulae and managing bibliography. Then you discover that is id beautiful. Honestly, even using base style sets you above the typesetting

I think we should declare a moratorium on the use of p-values. If you don't understand what a p-value is, you shouldn't use it. If you do understand p-values, you're probably already moving away from them. The Bayesian approa

I highly recommend the whole book "Sacred Knowledge" by William Richards (one of the author of the studies). “To most people who are even moderately experienced with entheogens, concepts such as awe, sacredness, eternity, grace, a

There are quite a few ideas! Myself, I would bet on Polymarket that there is something more fundamental than curved 1+3 spacetime. Some are, as you said, in thermodynamics. In the String Theory, 1+3 is a somewhat reduced space from original

Well, it feels shaky. First, it starts with: > There is a growing consensus in theoretical physics that spacetime is not a primitive notion That’s a very strong statement. I’m not sure what the actual distribution of views on spacetime i

Call me a cynic, but Gary Marcus and Sam Altman are the last people I want to read about AGI and related topics. Gary has invested heavily in an anti-AI persona, continually forecasting AI Winters despite wave after wave of breakthroughs. S

Well, when it comes to change, a sad truth is that it's generations who shift attitudes - not individuals. On average, people hold onto their established worldviews, and society evolves primarily because older generations gradually pas

I would argue that e-readers are cheap. My Kindle has been the single most value-per-dollar device purchase in my life. Nine years ago, I bought a Kindle Paperwhite 3 for $259.49. It still works. It still does just one job—and does it reall

Beware - one step more and you get into the region of generating functions. I recommend a book Herbert Wilf with a wonderful name of Generatingfunctionology ( https://www2.math.upenn.edu/~wilf/gfology2.pdf ).

Every language rewired my brain, as you need to think in a different way. But nothing felt like using PostScript. I guess if I tried to use Assembly (well, my only experience is through playing Shenzhen I/O), the difference would be ev

PostScript (with its reverse Polish notation) rewires brain on its own (it is top 1 in languages that "made me think different). Adding esoteric visuals is a nice touch.
