I'm not going to open a can of worms here but lemme suffice by saying this: With success comes maturity, and a startup turns into a corrupt, org-chart, white-elephant company. 90% of the employees end up being cronies that are pushing

Boy I got news for you. They also had a policy that everyone should spend at least 4 hours every week (outside of the 40 hour work-week) doing some personal project, or learning. The more the better. (it was a recommendation, not a requirem

I'm happy for him. I also wonder his employer might be the nicest do-whatever-you-want-in-your-free-time employer on earth. Not only that, I wonder what kind of day-job roles he has since I assume there is significant cognitive load in

Off-topic: Flood myths are in so many religions. Large-scale or global flooding. Mass devastation. If there is so much smoke there's gotta be fire. If you look at last glacial maximum, sea-levels were 110-120m below where they are toda

Thanks. I didn't know about Valter Longo. Will sure check his content. I was mainly referring to folks like Peter Attia, Rhonda Patrick, etc. For longevity, check out SENS foundation (and Aubrey de Grey).

I never used the term 'symbolic differentiation' - SD manipulates symbols provided to it as math formulas. - AD manipulates symbols provided to it as program code.

I may or may not be surprised by the result, I'm definitely not surprised by the 'Thing A is thing B' in machine learning. Every tom, machine-learner, and harry, is an expert on proving to the whole world that thing-A is thin

AD is a symbolic technique. If you use a symbolic technique over numeric data without knowing what you're doing, I feel sorry for you. (numeric: specifically the inclusion of floating-point.)

Perception of talent is also a function of how boisterous the claimant is. Leetcode script kiddies get in, jump from project to project, not spending more than a few months at each, make a filthy mess of every codebase, and leave it to the

Wow. Looks like Rust is winning the catfight against Go, D, Julia, C++20. Need to grab more popcorn.

Oh no, no, no. They won't be able to invert a binary tree on white-board, or a hacker-rank tab, in 30-45 minutes. They're clearly not the smartest ones.

I've heard Freestyle Libre, and most portable models, is not very accurate. Freestyle Libre has the additional feature of continuity, which IMO, is likely to be more inaccurate (generally portable models take a blood drop and give one

Thanks. Great explanation. I don't get the over 100 percent part though. Is it required to squeeze the short (i.e., beat hedge-fund at this game)? Wouldn't hedge-fund still need to purchase 100 cows even if they only borrowed once

It just occurred to me, boats have been around way before 1492, and they would drift away by accident, just like in this case, more often than not. Hence, folks from East Asia drifted away and landed on west coast of North America all the t

Seriously. If I expressed my opinions on the regressive attitude Python 2 lovers have shown in the last 13 years, I'd break this website's code of conduct.

Oh yes, this is one of my pet peeves. I do think taking into account the feedback from the load as well as the weight of each section of the arm itself, needs to be done. In addition, some aspects of vibration control also need to be incorp

General question regarding robotics/motors: Is there a classification of a system in terms of 'highly precise pre-defined/pre-programmed' movement vs 'feedback based movement'? As an outsider, mainly watching y

Thanks. Found the correct link: github.com/rxi/lite - First, it's ~20k ... which I admire in itself, but I doubt it'll have all the functionality of an advanced editor/IDE system. - Second, I don't know lua, do

Well after reading your comment, I thought maybe the big win for neovim might be reduced (code-size) complexity. So I checked the code sizes for latest versions of both vim and neovim (from github): - vim is at 900k (717k without po files)

Agree. The new UI is actually slightly better with the image view on the side instead of taking up the center of the screen, since we have widescreens everywhere. But both are worse than classic google images, which was from when? 2015? 201

The memory system could be split in two: - One is the system memory. It'll have OS, apps, necessary data. This shouldn't change frequently. Like one update a month, or a few months. Should last a lifetime. - Second is the daily da

Proactively recall to replace with what? It's not like the regs and/or Tesla have fixed the discovered flaw in a new design, and will be replacing the old part with the newly designed part. In that case proactive recall would make
