It's not. For all I care he may write his book without introducing determinants or only introducing them at the very end. I'm all for different pedagogical approaches.

But he writes a paper called "down with determinants" and starts it with "if you think complex matrices have an eigenvalue because the characteristic polynomial has a root, then this is wrong". But it's not wrong, mathematically it's 100% correct! It's just his own personal opinion because he somehow doesn't like determinants.

Mathematics is all about different approaches and different tools, not about "the one true enlightened way", as he makes it out to be. This is why I'm calling it a "personal crusade". Had he just called his paper "a determinant-free approach to linear algebra" I would take no issue.
For 99% of people having money that is a) difficult to touch and b) never shows up in your bank account is actually an order of magnitude (or two) more important for retirement than 0.34% annualized return.

And his point on which path to take misses the point that for some people (and me at least) - my "annual pay" when I'm retired will be 50% or less than what I make now. When I'm not paying a mortgage, paying for college, or saving for retirement I'll need much less pay. Can I predict what the tax rate will be in 20 years at half my current pay? No. So I hedge and do both options.

Ask HN: What's a good software to track To-Do as well as Do?
I hope the title makes sense - I'm a college student and I've been meaning to digitize my assignment planning. I, for the past two years, have been using this specific brand of planner I love that is split panes for Due and To-Do, so that I can track side-by-side what is due and what I should do. I've tried 100's of digital apps, but none seem to be able to do this, or they do not have a longform view to see days ahead i.e. Todoist will only let you set a due date, which places the task on the day it is due with no ability to move it up.

Can someone help me find a system I might be missing to organize myself digitally?

I like this course by Philip Klein of Brown University for a computational approach: http://cs.brown.edu/courses/cs053/current/index.htm

That said, "working an hour by hand on some annoying 6 x 6 matrix" is how I was taught linear algebra. I got a rare B in the course (even though I aced all the tests!) because there was so much busy work I just refused to do it all. I got literally nothing out of the course in terms of understanding (there was neither time to think nor any real direction given) and a year later I couldn't even do the work anymore. I ended up picking up Axler.
One guess could be the power delivery profiles: USB-C PD has options for 5, 12 and 20V, and I don't know how common support for the 12V modes is in chargers. If the device insists on 5V or 12V, and most chargers don't support 12V, that'd explain it falling back to the 10W/5V mode. I'd expect some tech reviewer could easily test that by making sure to try a charger that does 12 V.

I worked with a guy like that once, I was new and didn't feel secure, but after a while I decided that since he was an ass to me, I'd be an ass to him.

So one day he asked me to do something and I just said "no", and he asked me why, so I told him "because you're an asshole, and I don't like you, go do it yourself".

Everyone in the office heard this, nobody reacted.
I found out it was okay. We worked together for 3 years after that, and while the tone didn't get much better, some mutual... something was found and we got along "just fine" (insults seems to hurt less and less over time, especially when you get to pay them back).

App – Compare your home town with over 9000 places around the world
Nomad Travel Tools is an app where remote workers can vote for and compare over 9000 cities around the world.

This app has the tools to help you pick the best city to work from remotely such as figuring out the best work hours in two timezones, cost of living comparisons, annual weather patterns and where to find a workspace.

Im going to make the first 1000 signup’s free for all premium features, for life so make sure to signup here: https://nomadtraveltools.com/signup

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! Im sure there are a few bugs lurking about and i’ll get to them as soon as possible. Id also love to hear what you think I should add next? Visa info? Covid info? Safety rating?

Please feel free to upvote the cities you think are great for remote work and even leave a hot tip or two for your home town!

> The course I had as an undergrad was very computational

Do you remember whether that was a course specifically targeting CS students? I am asking because the linear algebra course at "my" university was a course for CS and math students and it was (sadly) not computational at all. If I remember correctly (it's quite some years ago), we started with rings and fields, then vector spaces, and matrices kind of naturally followed from that.
In fairness, I don't talk to people either.

The X1 Carbon/Extreme series used to be the only products labeled Gen x instead of a 2/3 digit code, e.g. T490.
Starting this year they rebranded all ThinkPad products to use generation numbers (presumably because rolling from something like T490 to the next number would be a little difficult, kind of like when GPUs hit the 9xxx branding mark), so X390 -> X13 gen 1, P53 -> P15 gen 1 etc.

I have a bookmarklet in my browser for recommendations. I have org-protocol set up so when I highlight a book title and click the bookmarklet, org mode opens and prompts me for several other things (author, genre, notes, format, etc.) and then it saves all that to a table with the website I found the recommendation. The table allows me to sort different genres and go back to see why I found that title compelling in the first place.

I also use org's ability to show properties as a table. When I read something I write a little review for myself and have some relevant info in the properties drawer. I can toggle a table view to see and sort all the properties.

It's nice to hear from someone who knows what they're talking about that GPT-3 is just a fancy and expensive autocomplete. The hype in some circles about it went as far as comparing it to AGI at some point which is just ridiculous.
The flu vaccine is more effective at preventing serious disease than it is at preventing infection. Even a vaccine that only prevents you from getting seriously ill can be incredibly useful.

The inactivated polio vaccine, for example, does not prevent infection. It just prevents disease. That means that it cannot confer herd immunity (vaccinated people can act as asymptomatic carriers, leaving unvaccinated people at risk), but for most people who are vaccinated, it eliminates the most serious consequence of polio infection - paralysis. The SARS-CoV-2 vaccines might end up being the same, conferring protection from disease but not from infection, and even that would be important.

This is basically false and fear mongering.

Herpes has zero consequence for the vast majority of people who have it. Most of the rest just get mild discomfort once a year or every few years. It's so common and harmless that doctors won't even bother testing for it unless you make them.

The connection between HPV and cancer is real but reporting on it overstates its significance. Your risk of developing HPV-related cancer is less than your risk of getting murdered (very low). Also there's an effective vaccine against the most oncogenic strains. If you're worried, get vaccinated.

HIV still sucks, try not to get it, but transmission isn't that easy and, while treatment used to be very expensive, we have cheap and effective post-exposure prophylaxis and the price now for the generic form of standard treatment is less than $100 per year, and life expectancy with HIV is now nearly normal.

This is a dog whistle. There appears to be an implication that only immigrants or minorities need to be charged for their speech and that only immigrants or minorities can be radicalized. I completely reject that kind of racist, xenophobic nonsense.

This is also incredibly shortsighted. Who decides what is severe enough to justify charges? What if your ideas are deemed too harmful? It’s the most elementary freedom of speech argument.

Agreed with "the modern way" to rewrite React code. Not simply for the sake of keeping current with version changes, but for one, to make sure your engineers are not constantly switching mental models between React Classes, HOCs, and Effects.

Another reason is the ease and speed of online documentation/resources. We all use StackOverflow to get answers and insight into problems we face on a daily basis, and as the framework (or library) progresses, the majority of Q&As adopt it, giving us a wealth of resources at our disposal.

No, it is not and you'll teach your child some very bad lessons for the future.

You should acknowledge and try to fulfill your emotional needs as well.

I had a REALLY bad example in my mother who changed her mind multiple times about divorcing my father for the sake of me and my sister. That mental model of self-sacrifice made me unable to breakup with my (now) wife after some major red flags.

If you want to re-connect with your wife, absolutely tell her that and acknowledge to yourself and her that you do have emotional/romantic needs, and that your child absolutely is a reason in your willingness to give your relationship another go, but you will not be forever happy or stay in this arrangement.

For anyone else who doesn’t want to deal with Facebook, here’s the post:

Some people have completely unrealistic expectations about what large-scale language models such as GPT-3 can do.

This simple explanatory study by my friends at Nabla debunks some of those expectations for people who think massive language models can be used in healthcare.

GPT-3 is a language model, which means that you feed it a text and ask it to predict the continuation of the text, one word at a time. GPT-3 doesn't have any knowledge of how the world actually works. It only appears to have some level of background knowledge, to the extent that this knowledge is present in the statistics of text. But this knowledge is very shallow and disconnected from the underlying reality.

As a question-answering system, GPT-3 is not very good. Other approaches that are explicitly built to represent massive amount of knowledge in "neural" associative memories are better at it.

As a dialog system, it's not very good either. Again, other approaches that are explicitly trained to perform to interact with people are better at it.

It's entertaining, and perhaps mildly useful as a creative help. But trying to build intelligent machines by scaling up language models is like a high-altitude airplanes to go to the moon. You might beat altitude records, but going to the moon will require a completely different approach.

It's quite possible that some of the current approaches could be the basis of a good QA system for medical applicatioms. The system could be trained on the entire medical literature and answer questions from physicians.
But compiling massive amounts of operational knowledge from text is still very much a research topic.

I think the difference between a large language model and a human intelligence is that the human may perform some extra computation to make additional connections on his own.

But other than that, aren't we all just large language models?

How is "what can I put in a matrix?" a fundamental question? Looking at the textbook, the author certainly covers the fundamental questions in vector spaces, linear maps, and decomposition/normal forms.

There's even a really great section on projective geometry that would have been helpful before seeing it quickly defined as homogenous coordinates before moving on to the definition as a quotient manifold of a sphere and Lie group.

Are you complaining about the axioms for a vector space? Because that list will exist for any LA class lol. That's like complaining that a college Calculus class is teaching the limit definition of the derivative.

Not sure I'd agree with that.

Of course, Edge is built on Chromium, but Microsoft are free to make their own changes, and to reverse any changes from Google that they don't like.

So, in this case, Edge can give you all the performance characteristics of Google's own Chrome browser but without the ads... win-win I reckon.
