All of those things are your job as a founder. VCs don’t have enough time to help everyone who asks them for $100k, nor do they really have time to write $100k checks in general. They should be writing $2-50M checks and hoping for a 20-100x

There is a cost to this, and that is your ability to do deep thinking and deep work. You can’t do that if you need a dopamine spike every 30s. Boredom has value and letting your mind wander is important for problem solving and the creative

Look up Corey Wayne on YouTube. He explains this in his relationship videos. At the end of the day, it’s the man’s responsibility to take care of these things, and no amount of busyness is a justifiable excuse. One of my favorite quotes tha

We don’t really work with the strong force in chemistry, mostly in nuclear and high energy physics. Chemistry is mostly about electron transfer and bonding.

3b1b’s Essence of Linear Algebra videos on YouTube do the best job I’ve ever seen of explaining the intuition and motivation for linear algebra and matrices. They aren’t a complete course in and of themselves. For that you’d need a textbook

Anything with a positive temperature radiates photons. The Earth probably does in the infrared spectrum.

You seem right based on Oren's Quora answer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30339069 And then, some months later, Pixar rewrote the film from almost the ground up, and we made Toy Story 2 again. That rewrit

The link you posted perfectly depicts what I was saying. It's good to see a clear example of that online, when almost every other resource is showing the dot-product interpretation.

To clarify, I mean if the columns of a 3x3 matrix A are A1, A2, and A3, and the scalar elements of vector x are <x1, x2, x3> then Ax = x1*A1 + x2*A2 + x3*A3. Each column of A is scaled by an element of x and then added together. Is th

This is incredibly confusing. I also don't like the dot-product explanation for individual entries of the resultant matrix. When I was in college, it was hammered into my head that matrix multiplication was a linear combination of colu

That website is poorly named. It's not about computer science any more than a resource on anatomy is about medicine.

I wouldn't consider someone a mathematician unless they were a researcher. Otherwise what does a mathematician do? Many people have undergraduate or advanced degrees in math, but most of them don't "do math" for a living

I don't think most programmers are "good" at math. Not to say that they're bad either or don't have the ability to get good if they put in the effort. It's just that most programmers don't learn how to pro

It's a common "false proof" example that's taught in many introductory college classes. I learned this in my discrete math class.

You can conclude that H - {h1} and H - {h2} share the same color with each other because (assuming n >= 2), there will be a third horse h3 in both those sets. Therefore by transitivity, these two sets must have the same color. This is im

What do you know about Dark Matter that would be insightful? Please share.

My understanding is that higher dimensions have more “space”/“freedom” to perform moves and operations. And of course, we can visualize anything 3D or less.

If you don’t want that kind of reaction, phrase your point of view in a way that’s more curious and less with the tone and perspective of “those guys are clueless and wrong.” I’m not a cosmologist. I don’t have a degree in physics. But when

You patronized the entire community of thousands of cosmologists who have trained their entire lives to think about this. They have had every thought you've had, but with much more knowledge and context. Do you not realize that?

Fourier Series [0] (infinite sums of sines and cosines) can be made to equal any "well-behaved" function. This is the same idea in more dimensions. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_series
