I've never tried tobacco, but I did try nicotine last year after seeing it discussed in ADHD circles. Noticed no effect (beyond perhaps a mild caffeine-esque sensation early on) but forced myself to try it for a few weeks. The "cloud" aspect was amusing, but I forgot about the experiment months ago and have suffered not a jot for it since. Different strokes for different folks, because apparently it's usually one of the most addictive things going, yet I'd consider caffeine or sugar to be more so than whatever nicotine was doing for me.
"A humanities student"? She's a humanities student who had taken up through linear algebra! I have a CS degree and I never learned linear algebra in high school or college--I learned about the topic later!

The idea that a 200-level course should be unapproachable for an interested person with a stronger mathematics background than I have, with an ostensibly mathematics-based degree, is absolutely silly. I took 300 and 400-level classes in economics, in English, in history and philosophy. I never felt unwelcome or incapable.
Professors could change the numbers in the questions every year, without really changing the questions.

And then give the answers after the homework was handed in, if they want to grade the homework. Or compromise, by giving answers to half the assignments, and not grading those.
Makes sense though because earth is a dump and extremely corrupt. Even if you were able to substantially decrease military funding (the usual scapegoat) without massively changing the world order we still probably wouldn’t spend more on nasa, we would spend it on healthcare, infrastructure, economic bailouts, education, green tech, etc.
Richard Borcherds, a field medal winner, stated that he approaches new topics by doing a lot of examples before trying to understand the theorems and such. There is no "right" way to do math, contrary to what OP claims.

My solution is to use an L shaped table, siting at 45º in the internal angle of it, so each of my elbows rest on the table and not on the arms of the chair.

Having the elbows more appart have a similar efect as rotating the wrist in an ergonomic keyboard. It also releases neck and back tension as I am forced to sit more straight.

This is a thing basic for me. I couldn't sit in the standard way perpendicular to a table with my elbows in the chair arms for half an hour and not feel strain, but I've never seen this option discussed in any ergonomics guide ever.

Teaching yourself math by producing answers and then validating them seems like a great way to possibly completely fail at learning math. What if you are making some fundamental mistake, and now all that time you've spent studying reinforces that mistake? We see this in software all the time; people will latch on to bad patterns and stick with them for years.
Hopefully people have had their eyes opened about the dangers of allowing too much government control over our lives.

For many homeless, you have the causation exactly backward. Mental health issues have and will sometimes be innate and have nothing to do with one's housing situation.
You could already do that on this particular modem; the author's previous post (linked from the first paragraph here) involves running a lot of arbitrary code on the modem, and there's an entire alternative implementation running around (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30301837 discusses it a bit). This just talks about running arbitrary commands specifically through the AT interface on the stock firmware.

I don’t disagree with you. I would say that these are mental health challenges that can not only be exacerbated, but caused in the first place in some cases by having this technology so readily available. The other commenters’ point about gambling tech is a good one.
Exactly the same. I can take alcohol or leave it.

With no social pressure, on my own I very seldom buy alcohol or keep it around. I don't think about it. I don't want for it, on occasion I'll have a few drinks and once in a great while a few too many drinks but it's not something I really care about one way or the other.

I've seen many people not like this. Alcohol is a central part of their life even if they aren't "drunks".

I think it must be a biological/chemical?

>I felt like a total failure. It's much faster to memorize vast multiplication tables and recall them from memory than trying to understand first principles.

and this is why kids are taught to memorize these lookup tables. When doing algorithms such as long division or multiplication these lookup tables can make the process much faster.
It seems to be an issue in some school districts and because it's such a weird thing (to most of us) it ends up getting a lot of "air time", so to speak. Outliers doing bizarre things become representative when they get the majority of coverage.
True, I have posted info about my key remapper here a few times, https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto, but when I posted it it never really took off. Then some guy, nick something, posted it and the thing really took off. Timing & luck is what it really seems to come down to.

That surge of viewers also resulted in a distinct up take of stars for days, almost a full week following the event lol. Word of mouth definitely kept it getting attention, but typically I see a few new stars a day. I don't really watch it that closely now though.

Maybe they should teach self esteem and resiliency in the face of criticism and failure, because you will definitely be criticized and you'll definitely fail. You will face setbacks and discouragement at many points in your life. More often than not, your biggest critic will be yourself. That much is certain.

This wasn't even really intentional discouragement, but it was perceived as such. Hopefully, you learned the higher lesson.

I believe he's also a professor at CMU. His demoscene contributions also often represent many of the first demos ever on their respective platforms. If anybody is even remotely interested in Japanese retro computers he also contributes many of them to the retro petting zoo at Demosplash (when they're live). The computing club there goes through some serious heroics to keep many of the old systems alive and is responsible for a huge amount of these platform first demos in the scene.
In my experience undergrads are almost universally seen as a nuisance by professors, especially at the most prestigious schools where professors see themselves as godly researchers. It also sounds like this class isn't even for students in the department, which usually means no one wants to teach it. Basically becoming a professor has almost nothing to do with ability to teach, so I'm not surprised when the least desirable classes to teach are taught by people who have next to 0 ability to do so.

People skills? The informal prereqs/expected background for a class should be listed in the syllabus. Lack of "mathematical maturity" is a non-answer, they should make it clear what sort of math knowledge that refers to.
I don't know what the answer is, but we're currently going through this with our kids, but the opposite. There is now a push to not memorize the multiplication table, but treat multiplication as repeated addition. So to get 6 * 7 you do 6+6+6+6+6+6+6 or 7+7+7+7+7+7 (I forget which is 'correct' as it's been a few years).
That's good because it gives understanding, but when you're trying to multiply 2 4 digit numbers, it's really useful to have your tables memorized!
We're now going into a new school and their biggest advice to new students is to memorize their multiplication tables, as they'll have trouble otherwise. Maybe they should do understanding followed by memorization?*

There's an IBM Plex Mono font too. For me as a coding font it ranks a little behind Iosevka, but it's pretty good.
I'm assuming the issue is that there isn't a math pathway for humanities students who want to take math electives. This is the closest thing she could find. This was the case at the Ivy I attended. There were classes designed to fill the one-course math requirement, but they were all below the level of the math I'd done in high school. There wasn't anything for someone who was decently good at math and genuinely interested in it, but not planning on a math-related major.
>The limited edition art is really just tracking receipts - you can do that over email if you want and it really doesn't have to be public. Non digital art does fine with private receipt tracking. You can also have a dedicated database that charges art owners a maintenance fee, and tracks who the current owner of each art piece. Basically free tier AWS.

I think this is a misunderstanding of what happens when a collection is created through a platform like Art Blocks. The generative code is frozen on chain, every minted image has a verifiably random initial seed, and each image is generated from the composition of these two elements. The number of random seeds which can occupy an "official" slot is preconfigured and cannot be later increased.

I promise you that this has significant impact on the feeling of working on generative art and what you think of as the final outcome of an art project. It cannot be replicated through some kind of ad-hoc receipt system that lacks algorithmic guarantees and is subject to modification or increase at any later point.
Then you grossly misunderstand how far along AI is. AGI is not even a remote possibility with current techniques and implementations (and I would contest, entirely impossible with digital logic). It's just massive amount of statistics that were computationally impossible given available hardware until recently.

We don't have a baseline understanding of consciousness or intuition to a degree that we could even begin to replicate it.
How did you interpret “immature” as “not smart enough”? A baby is not mature, which doesn’t mean he won’t grow up. “Immaturity” means that there’s room for improvement and that that improvement is attainable.

What I mean to say is that this issue stems from your misunderstanding of the meaning of the word “mature” and nothing else.

Once again the reply doesn't actually answer the basic question, because the answer is inconvenient.

I'd love one honest reply to the point grounded in any crypto, not even Bitcoin, being a "relatively stable store of value paying for productive output rather than speculation and fraud?"

Relatively stable being defined extremely generously in this context might I add! I won't hit you with a "gotcha!" because your coin of choice is widely used to pay for goods rather than fraud and speculation but it happened to fluctuate 10% or something, USD does that too...
That's fair. I don't really know what counts as advanced anymore. There just aren't that many books on theoretical math that aren't "graduate level" (which is way scarier than it sounds) -- Spivak was my Real Analysis 101 book as a freshman math major.

Spivak at least has the nice property that it doesn't assume you know much.
I should specify there's a difference of being in the top percentage of people in a field, and just being very good at that field. With sports, physical attributes are more important but even if you're not gonna be in the NBA you can still be quite good, etc.

I don't see music as really competitive in that sense though because everyone has different tastes. Once you put in the time and work to learn to produce or play an instrument, it then comes down to creativity and networking really.
It is already a good thing, but it currently requires a lot of engineering effort to actually get it to work with acceptable quality. It's not something that works out of the box like half precision, or for some models, int8. And to your point, for many production scenarios the ratio of engineering work vs performance gains is maybe not worth it.
But for models that are going to handle massive load in inference it is worth it in my experience.

I expect that this will be made much easier in future with better hardware support and smarter sparsification libraries.

The CDC reports 16.3 flu/pneumonia deaths per 100,000 [0]. That's 0.0163 percent.

Johns Hopkins University reports covid-19 has 278.89 deaths per 100,000 - a 1.2% mortality rate in the US [1].

That would put covid-19 at 278.89/16.3 = ~17 times more deadly than the flu. Just because the numbers don't hold for a particular age group doesn't make the aggregate statement false. In fact, it would be misleading to categorize "17 times more deadly" as anything other than "more deadly."

Edit: I made a mistake dividing the percentages the first go around, reporting covid-19 as 73 times more deadly than influenza. I have updated the 3rd paragraph to show the calculations directly.

In my undergrad years every major seemed to have what students referred to a "weed-out course." These courses were intentionally made difficult and often has inane non-standard grading policies (for example, in one, anything under 85 was considered an F). They were often taught on odd schedules (like one semester a year or something) and at unusual times. And they were often taught by difficult professors who did little, if anything, to help students succeed. If you were lucky, there might be a TA that might be able to help you, but students were often expected to form independent study groups and assist one another.

Basically if you couldn't pass this course - and in some cases department policy limited you to a single try - your chances of success in that major were slim to nonexistent, and you were encouraged by your advisor to find a different major. If you could pass the weed-out course, you could be reasonably assured you were ready to face the rest of your coursework, because nothing ahead would be as difficult as that course was. And, that you were reasonably certain this was what you wanted to do.

They weren't necessarily directly related to the major. For some of the engineering and science programs, a math course was often the weed-out course.

I can't say for sure that this was the author's experience, but her description of it sounds very much like a weed-out course.
Folks are saying the radio station transmitted side-band data that resulted in the effective bricking. Others are saying that's not the issue, it's the software/firmware in the radios.

So looking at the specification here:

https://www.nrscstandards.org/standards-and-guidelines/docum...

...

On page 20, We see that images need not have an extension, because the transport stream is required to specify a mime-type. If one can prove that somehow that mime-type was not set, then perhaps the radio station and/or the technology provider for their broadcast transmission equipment could be held liable. I'm not sure how the process of discovery would look for something like that.

Seems more likely Mazda could be in the position to sustain significant warranty claims in court if their hardware is found to be defective, or their testing & QE procedures to be lacking.

> Attempting to learn mathematics as some sort of pattern matching,

The math I did before university was doable with basically pattern matching ; I then still had a close to photographic memory (I could skim materials and recall them exactly) and got A’s in math because of mostly that. I could do exams by filling in methods I memorised. There was no understanding. Then in uni I got a good scare as none of that worked anymore; now I had to actually know what I was doing. That was obviously much better but I was not prepared for that at all.

[Citation needed]

this comes up every single time, but it's false nonetheless.

The term "eurocrats" in Europe is used in a negative way only by people who don't understand how EU works, usually from far right.

Nowadays the term Eurocrat has come to encompass staff from all EU Institutions and not only staff from the European Commission.

Although the term Eurocrat might convey negative connotations for some, specialists of European Union and its institutions Didier Georgagakakis and Jay Rowell use the concept of Eurocracy as a way to describe and analyse EU actors and professionals interactions [1]

My entire undergrad schedule was arranged according to getting the best-ranking math teacher on ratemyprofessor.com. I had enough painful experience and had to early drop a math class or two to learn this fact. Bad math teachers essentially forced me to self-teach, and I did not have the ability to do that with math, as I wasn't a natural in math beforehand. It got so bad that I happily took 8am classes despite being a night owl.

What it looks like now as an adult is just a failure of pedagogy and institutional incentives. I suspect the people teaching it had little reason to take the teaching part seriously, it was just something that got in the way of their research/grad studies.

I went to a well-known state school. There were other departments like this.
