Don't psyche yourself out over it. GR is more challenging and has less of a clear plot than The Crying of Lot 49, but it's still just a book. For a first read, you probably want a very light guide for each section (you can read it

There are some hilarious and memorable scenes that make it a classic for me. Things like the Banana Breakfast were laugh out loud moments for me. As for being influenced by psychedelics, it seems plausible. Lots of scenes are portrayed in a

You'll never be Warren Buffett or Bill Gates if you do X because neither of them did. Which misses the point that it's incredibly unlikely that anyone would ever be as successful as either. Most people probably won't be a War

No. The argument isn't that the 6th amendment applies. It's that the rationale made sense for criminal cases, and because it makes sense there, it should be included by others (say an HR department coming up with a policy on how t

It appears the argument is that was included for a good reason for criminal cases and shows a precedent for it. The argument isn't that civil cases are currently covered, but that they should be.

It appears to be a liberal arts program. Is this substantially different, with respect to the rigor of mathematics, than most other comparable programs? They might cover more calculus (maybe at a theoretical level?) than most liberal arts p

You can try a refresher on Jacobians. If you're following everything there well enough, you probably have what you need to move forward (and pick up the rusty parts that you need as you go). If you're completely lost then you prob

Strang is great but he covers a lot of things that don't have much carryover to AI/ML and doesn't really cover things like Jacobians which do. Maybe there's something more useful for someone who is only learning Calculus

Which probably won't convince those of us who are skeptics that it's possible. It needs to be technically possible, but easy enough to verify for the average user that someone can't just claim they're doing it the right
