The computational complexity varieties of listening:

Let n be the number of things the other is talking about (tricky to define a "thing" but, whatever?, use a consistent thing metric)

- O(1) listening: ignoring/may as well not be there - reading your phone while the other talks to you

- O(n) listening: loading their information into your brain while they talk - e.g. repeating back to them, nodding to salient points

- O(n log n) listening: sorting the information they've talked about - talking about the most important bits (after hearing everything)

- O(n^2) listening: cross-comparing all the things they've said for informational pairings

- O(|V|_n + |E|_n + |V|_m + |E|_m) listening: suppose your thoughts are laid out in network form, |V|_x and |E|_x are the # vertices and edges for person x. You are m. Then this is breadth-first search on both your idea-networks.

etc. Thoughts?

edit: I wonder how P and NP come into this! For instance, if someone asks you a question that takes P work, you should be able to derive the answer from what you've talked about alone. But if someone asks you something like, "Were you at that party 25 years ago?" and you have since forgotten, but then your other friend produces a photograph of you in a pair of silly glasses and a clown afro, you can verify quickly that you were! The hardness of remembering something might be classifiable by computational class?
> There is a big delta between being fired and being downsized

I think you originally meant to say "laid off" versus "downsized" as downsized isn't related to the individual employee but to the company has a whole. Still though except for some background check by a government job or unemployment benefits I see little difference between being fired and laid off. Sure there are some differences but I wouldn't call it a big delta at all.

Honestly when I worked at CSC it was the same way. The amount of people we'd have in our group that we'd have to interview from other parts of CSC in order for them to stay employed was staggering.

I never said it was a wonder drug. Ibuprofen isn't a cure-all.

The pain in his feet comes from the severe arthritis. Ibuprofen only helps to moderate it a little. AFAIU, for something like arthritis ibuprofen is much more effective than acetaminophen, and safer than naproxen for prolonged use.

But it's so severe that significant relief could only come from serious pain medication, which he refuses. He's seen too many people become addicted. The stress levels from the pain probably aren't doing his body any favors, but it's his decision.

> I'd hate to be looking for a software engineering job right now

Why? These Cisco lay-offs are hardware engineering related and the other ones are not nearly as big and are pretty typical (unfortunately). Software engineering is not only in HUGE demand but it's growing incredibly quickly. I have no idea how the hardware engineering space is behaving but software is off the charts.
I'm sure they have some good engineers. However, I will say that friends who work there currently and those who have worked there in the past constantly raved about how little they actually have to work and how empty the office is on Fridays among other aspects that give the impression that much isn't expected from their engineers.

When you buy practically any competitor and control the margins like Cisco was able to do for so many years that turned massive profits there isn't really much expected from the employees I'd wager.
>Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap for instance are wonderful example of successful open datasets.

Wikipedia definitely has a nice dataset, but they don't seem like a successful business.

They always have the ads at the top of the pages asking for donations and talking about how poor they are.
Most people (more than 50%) have an above average number of legs, arms, and eyes, but a below average number of nipples. This is because having more than 2 legs, arms, or eyes is exceedingly rare, whereas there's a small number of folks who have 1 or none, which brings the average below 2. Similarly, extra nipples are more common than losing a nipple. It's the difference between median/mode and mean.

True; but one way I can get around this is that the strategies don't all require the same underlying brain architecture requirements. For instance number 1 doesn't even require a brain. Other than that, doesn't my analysis, concerning only the order of steps that must occur in aggregate per algorithm, sorta work out regardless of parallelism? Or do you mean that a multi-state computational brain could do a collection of moves simultaneously, say a vector of n linear actions as 1 brain vector-action?

> Information results from HUMINT, not simple hack of a C2 box as suggested (not that even that would be easy). Level of difficulty: Very Experienced Nation State.

I don't get his reasoning why it necessarily has to be HUMINT. State actors from other countries can find 0-day exploits presumably. Don't think it was that outrageous they could have hacked into a c2 server.

People who do the work at NSA (assuming it is) are not necessarily super-wizzards or automatically better equipped at defending against an attack. They were most likely average developers from the DC area who happen to have clearance and work for Uncle Sam. Because of compartmentalization, those who specialize in attackig specific targets (firewalls) might not necessarily have the knowledge to secure a server well.
But that's the issue. It's not an optimal stroke for anything. It's not the fastest, it's tiring, and it's difficult to do.

> This means that by studying the different system (eg. the wormhole in the lab), the physicists are probing the mathematical structure of the theory of the original system

I just don't buy that argument, because it is essentially the same argument that was used to support the ether hypothesis. Both sound and light are governed by a wave equation. Since sound is observed to have a preferred frame (the rest frame of the medium), the above argument asserts that light should also have a preferred frame, since the mathematics is the same. But that line of reasoning is obviously wrong, as we know now.

I don't think that observing some wormhole-like feature in a metamaterial provides any information about how wormholes may or may not behave in GR. The entire endeavor of analogue gravity seems specious to me.

>But honestly, for all their funding, even most of these second tries turn out to be failures. What you're really doing here is confusing selection bias with skill: take a pool of enough entrepreneurs, and eventually, just by chance, you'll find someone who has repeat successes.

There's only 170 companies on this list: https://www.cbinsights.com/research-unicorn-companies

The fact that there's even more than one company on it that has a repeat founder suggests that there's something more than selection bias going on her, given the sheer amount of startups started every year.

So the next thing we could do is take a look at if there's other correlations to these repeat founders besides their ability to get capital. I would argue that the fact that most of them are intelligent at least merits a look as a FACTOR that might help them.

I've never gotten to the bottom of any of herb bottle before it went stale.

Me too until I discovered Litehouse Freeze Dried Herbs. Normally the bottles are $4.99 at my local Californian supermarket, but sometimes they're on sale for $3.99, and the other day they were on sale for $2.50 (I stocked up). I especially like their freeze dried, diced garlic, which is a darn good substitute for freshly chopped garlic.

The freeze dried stuff doesn't last forever, either. But the Litehouse bottles are good size. Even the end of a bottle is more fragrant and tasty than brand-new dried herbs. And it's super convenient picking more up at the grocery store.

At $4.99 it's competitive with bulk freeze dried herbs, which made me wonder if that was a sustainable price. Seeing it for sale at $2.50 I'm even more convinced that it's not profitable and they're having trouble getting traction in the market. I'll be sad if it goes away. I've always avoided herbs in my cooking because fresh herbs are inconvenient; most dried herbs suck; and if they don't suck they don't last long anyhow. This affordable freeze dried stuff is amazing, but probably too good a thing.

Who said "nothing" but you? http://dilbert.com/strip/2015-06-07

I have taken - just for fun - over 70 courses completely out of my own field of expertise (CS) on edX and Coursera. EVERYBODY knows nothing, that is unavoidable. Knowledge is infinite, your brain is very, very finite. So knowing what is actually WORTH knowing - and that is different for every single person - is extremely valuable. Simply calling "you must know this!" "you must know whist too!" and combining all those calls from all people does not work.

In the words of Sherlock Holmes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuIMmwJbnco

Trying to know everything is - as stupid as it gets. Trying to tell others they have to know everything even more so. How much do you know?

I have take several neuroscience classes and know quite a bit about the brain. I'd say that is a lot more valuable than being able to put categories on plants. Yet I would never dream of claiming "you MUST know that!" and downvote anyone who disagrees with me as you did, Dick from the Internet.

Please reflect before answering:

What do you really need the knowledge that "Tomato is not a fruit" for? What does it help you with? And don't use arguments so meta it that can be used for any knowledge. Be precise. I'm really curious what all those people who don't know that are missing in their lives.
This is crucial. I've found that when I talk especially with people who reside more on the emotional side of the spectrum (I myself seem to be more on the logical side of the spectrum), I need to really clarify before the conversation gets too deep that I'm good at expressing solutions, but I'm not so good at expressing sympathy/empathy. I'm good at having sympathy (not always empathy), but I'm not good at expressing it.

People who contact me frequently to talk about something have come to understand this, and they just trust that I am being sympathetic, even if I am not showing all the signs. But for people who are not used to talking with me, they can sometimes find me unsettling and get upset at me. If someone could explain to me how to appear sincerely sympathetic in a way that makes sense to me, I'd love it. But nobody's ever been able to do that in a way that doesn't make me feel like I'd be pretending, which is awkward and weird, because it's not like I'm not sincerely sympathetic in my heart of hearts.

Lojban uses the consonants I gave (sans /j/ and /w/, although these are counted as dipthongs instead), plus /f/, /v/, /x/, /ʔ/, /h/, and /r/, as well as /ə/ for a sixth vowel. The syllable scheme seems to be largely C(C)VC(C), with largely only mixed voiced/unvoiced and geminate consonant clusters prohibited. That said, they do allow for "buffer" vowels in pronunciation to aid speakers who have trouble with consonants (and yet they have a /ə/?).

From what I can tell, CV(C) (with the second consonant usually having some restrictions) is fairly widespread. However, in my personal (purely anecdotal) experience, pronouncing foreign consonant clusters or unfamiliar final consonants is much harder than pronouncing unfamiliar initial consonants or vowels, so I'd be slightly wary of letting the final consonant go too unrestricted.
