IDK if that's the reason I'd given for calculus. I might not literally solve integrals, but the base knowledge of what an integral is, what a derivative is, yes, I absolutely use those. I'm also a SWE/SRE, so … there's that. But how often I see graphs from products whose entire job is metrics that are just labelled wrong, e.g., w/ the base unit instead of the rate, or what actually use the base unit instead of the rate, making for a difficult UX¹. If the devs of those products understood … calculus (let alone stats!) maybe the products would be less garbage? As it is, I still need to know that as a user.

But yeah, I've not taking a literal integral in a while. Usually I'm doing some sort of very crude integration.

Similar w/ the CS degree and everybody in this field going "it isn't needed" and then going "why isn't the database answering this query quickly, when there is an index on those fields?²" and follow that with a discussion of how B-trees work (or rather, don't)…

And should I ever need to solve an integral, I will recognize that problem when I see it, and know what Wikipedia articles I need to page back into my brain.

¹what I mean here is, e.g., like what Azure Metrics does. E.g., there's a graph I use that measures throughput, but the unit is just "Bytes". But each point is "number of bytes transmitted during the window of time represented by that point" so it's really "bytes / 5 minutes" or something. But of course, then, you zoom, and now it is "bytes / 10 mintues" … but the axis doesn't tell you that. This has the effect that as you zoom in or out … the numbers change! Which makes no sense (obviously the effect of zooming a graph does not go back in time and alter the readings) … but only if you were properly measuring bytes/sec. (But as it is, there's a constant / divisor caught up in there.)

(And that ignores harder problems with zooming metrics, like aliasing or resolution, or other metrics problems like percentiles on aggregates or efficient computation of calculated values and where to put windows, etc. … but pfft I'm in the stone age over here.)

²and it's almost always a 2D range query or a range + exact value and the exact value is the second column in the index…
I agree, which is why I've made two decisions to guide the rest of my life:

1. Staying in the Midwest. Every climate change prediction map has the Midwest as one of the last livable places in the States.

2. Not having kids. In my opinion, anyone who brings a child into this world at this stage is selfish and only considering themselves. I personally wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that I forced this existence onto another being. I often wish my parents had the same consideration, but I guess then I'd miss out on watching the chaos.
He delivered millions of electric cars. Re-usable rockets. Starlink. Moderation transparency is a slam dunk.
No - this is completely false.

As an economy expands, it needs more currency to facilitate growth.

A 'very hard currency' would strangle an economy with ugly deflationary issues.

Moreover - with a 'hard currency' the system will fail and collapse when it faces an existential shock such as an internal failure (bank collapse), war, pandemic.

The objective is to provide 'the right' amount of liquidity for the economy as needed, and, during times of crisis to be able to release enough liquidity to see the economy through the crisis.

Yes, the 'price will be paid' in later years for excess liquidity in terms of higher prices, but that's not necessary a bad thing, it's just accounting. It depends on the distortions. If the community accepts that 'yes, resources needed to be diverted to pay for xyz' then that's 'the cost' and it's going to be borne out in higher prices.

And yes, if Central Banks print wily nilly and provide too much supply this will result in hyper inflation.

But fundamentally, this idea that fiat = untenable is completely false.

He got slammed in discovery, lost a lot of his pre-trial motions, and started losing a ton of his net worth by appearing like a buffoon. He was about to go into an emergency conference at the Delaware Chancery court, and I assume that he was being told "you are going to lose" by his lawyers if not the Chancellor herself.

There was some indication that Mudge may have been in contact with him. He lost a lot of discovery motions about bots. His own experts told him that he had no case about Twitter bots. This case has been a loser from the beginning, and I think he thought he could get a better price by doing this. He likely didn't want anything else to come out.

The Twitter board did a great job not bowing to the pressure.
At no point in my life have I ever related to people who can ask this question. The closest I got is thinking if the names and dates I was memorizing about the Wars were worth anything. In the end, it turned out that I either have a tremendous memory through either that training regimen or that I have a memory that gives me an advantage in that test protocol: either one is a winner. And either is worth it.
Potential buyer is offering what they think is current market price. Something like like $15-$20 per share than $52 per share. Musk would sell with huge loss.

No one wants to talk about the actual problem, and will blame government printing money. What’s different now from any point in the last 12 years is that we are at full employment. Going over that causes the economy to overheat. As a study partner for an economics course put it (he took more economics than I did): too many hands competing for goods, the prices go up.
It's wonderful that there is a fork of SQLite. It's good to see new ideas.

Is Airbus going to use it in the A350? No.

Why not? It's not compliant with DO-178B, because it has not been confirmed correct with "Test Harness 3" (TH3).
yes, this has been my joke.

SYCL also nominally tries to support AMD GPUs. In my experience, the runtime is poorly optimized and performance is low.
You don't use it in those cases, you get what you need from someone else using calculus. In the same way you don't use cooking when you go at a restaurant.
It's false because fairly low alcohol consumption correlates with a slighty longer life span:

There's historic precedence that increasing rates controls inflation. Yes, it's a very blunt and crude instrument. However, when you know this tool works, trying another tool is too risky to experiment with (in case it fails).

Inflation does have the risk of getting out of hand and being even harder to control. The risk analysis is that whatever pain increasing the rates would cause it pales in comparison to having hyperinflation.

As far as the lack of a pushback: My guess is a combination of apathy and the fact that it doesn't affect the average person quite as much as inflation.
I know the basics how to do it, it is rather obvious. I just feel that operating two boards manually is really a chore, and definitely not while streaming.

The mostly consistent Verb-Noun naming convention is a good thing about powershell and isn't an issue due to very good autocompletion is PowerShell editors.

Some folks are remembered just for the Nobel. Elias Canetti comes to mind - his only meaningful work was non-fiction, and therefore didn’t qualify.

Winston Churchill is the similar … remembered as a political leader, but won the Nobel in Literature, not Peace.

Einsteins Nobel was for Brownian motion, which isn’t what pops to mind when you think “Einstein.”
Small (and not important) correction: the original Mac floppies were 400KB and went to 800KB in the Mac Plus. The Apple II floppies were 140KB.
If I could answer that definitively I'd be crowned Chief Economist but one explanation that is frequently posited is the US (and Western Europe to a lesser extent) has effectively exported inflation. US runs a trade deficit but that imbalance is made up for by being the global reserve currency. International transactions (especially oil) are denominated in dollars generating demand. And our trade partners like China invest in dollar denominated assets (ie US treasuries) making up for the trade imbalance.

Since the USD is a safe haven currency it has held up extremely well relative to other currencies recently. The UK just ran into the limit of loose fiscal policy which imo is a commentary on the extent of their decline as a world economic super power and demand for/perceived safety of GBP.
A Tensor is a mathematical object for symbolic manipulation of relationships between other objects that belong in conceptually similar universes or spaces. Literature on Deep Learning, like Goodfellow, call for the CS-minded reader to just assume it's a fancy word for a matrix of more than two dimensions. That makes matters confusing because mathematically you could have scalar or vectorial tensors. The classic mathematical definition puts more restrictions on the "shape" of the "matrix" by requiring certain properties so that it can create a symbolic language for a tensor calculus. Then you can study how the relationships change as variables on the universes or spaces change.

Understanding the inertia tensor on classical mechanics or the stress tensor may illustrate where tensors come from, and I understand that GR also makes use of a lot of tensor calculus that came to be as mathematics developed manipulating and talking about tensors. I have a kinda firm grasp on some very rudimentary tensor calculus from trying to leanr GR, and a pretty solid grasp on classical mechanics. I've had hour long conversations with deep learning popes and thought leaders in varying states of mind and after that my understanding is that they use the word tensor in an overreaching fashion as like you could call a solar panel a nuclear fission reactor power source. This thought leaders include people with books and 1M+ view Youtube videos on the subject that use the word tensor and I'm not saying their names because they off-the-record admitted that it's a poor choice of term but it harms the ego of many Google engineers to publicly admit that.
I agree this is a smart move (or rather, salvaging an impulsive decision) if Musk uses Twitter to increase the value of SpaceX and Tesla by an amount greater than the premium between Twitter’s enterprise value and his purchase price.
Not surprising, this is actually the least-shitty path for Musk now.

He fucked up and his other alternatives were waaay more expensive (e.g. being forced to sell more stock and lose control of TSLA, shorters have a field day, people lose confidence on TSLA even though FSD is "one month away from working", it could all go down because of this).

No one sheds 44B "to honor a deal", at least not him, lol.

Epilogue: Matt Levine was on point all the time, I'd like to hear now from all the folks who were saying that Musk was going to get away with it.

inb4 "it was all 4D chess, this is what he wanted" Yeah, sure pal ...
The admissions were from when he was 12 and 16; many so societies generally believe in redemption from childhood transgressions.
Why are interests rates as a money sink preferable to the more direct approach of simply sinking money out of supply via tax? They seem to amount to the same thing at the end of the day - siphoning dollars out.
To make things simple, yes, that's is. White "scrambles" the light, the correct term is "diffuses" but that's the idea.

Maybe quantum physicists will disagree but the difference between a mirror and a white surface is that a mirror is perfectly flat and therefore will reflect light at always the same angle. It may absorb some of it, or even most of it (black mirror!) but what it reflects, it will do it always the same way.

A white painted surface can be thought as a surface covered in tiny mirrors, all pointed in a different direction, and depending on which tiny mirror a ray of light will hit, it will be reflected in a different direction. With large pieces, like with a broken mirror, you will still see (as you said) scrambled images. But because the pieces are so tiny, you won't be able to make out an image and you will only see white. A glass pane can look like a mirror, but reduce it to a powder and it becomes white. It has nothing to do with absorption, you can have a 1% reflective mirror, and 100% reflective diffuse white.

The way the "tiny mirrors" that make up the white paint are oriented give out its general look. Have them oriented mostly with the surface and you get a glossy finish, have them randomly oriented in many directions and you get a matte finish (this is called specular reflection btw).

I've seen mirrors be called "smart white", it is white because it reflects most light in most wavelengths, and it is smart because it keeps the rays of light oriented.
You’re not giving Musk enough credit. Do you think taking these things into account wasn’t part of his proposal? What do you think he would answer if he got a direct question about this part?

Carter could have ended the soul-sapping, grinding misery of endless gas lines, like Reagan did on his very first day in office, with the stroke of a pen.

Carter had no idea how economics works. The prosperity of the 80's was great.
In California, people fitting certain economic criteria are now being issued $1000 checks for inflation relief. This is beyond ludicrous.

We have printed so much money, the only solution is to... print more?

It's almost like it is all a sneaky backdoor to letting the government redistribute wealth without real oversight...
I disagree about framing it as the top few. I recommend you look into Islam's Zakat system for something that actually works, and is fair across the board.

I think it is illegal if it reaches some emitting power.

Below those limits (certainly dependent on the frequency spectrum), it is not.

I gotta say, I should not be surprised at someone treating economics like a religion.

And I am not.
I'm assuming that part of this settlement was that some of his funders told him that they wanted the embarrassment to end. This whole process has made him and all of his co-investor friends look like assholes and idiots, and I'm sure they didn't like that.
I doubt it was intentional, but nonetheless I do find it pretty funny how fast the pendulum swung on that one.
But when there’s a closed-form solution it’s like God winking at you.

Why? What would make it more valuable than other stores of value? Bitcoin is roughly at end-of-2020 valuation. So is the NASDAQ. So is the S&P500. So is the Dow.

In fact, for most other stores of value, "dies out in this bear market" isn't even a consideration - the statement is reflective of a (perceived?) higher volatility of the crypto market.

If this is showing anything, it's that crypto currencies are just as vulnerable to monetary policy as other assets.

Can't quite tell if this is satire.
Its not that much, but the article ignores the fact that chess.com knew all of this and invited him to their tournaments. Then once the Singfield cup event happened and Magnus got mad they banned him.

They have been selectively releasing information about him and his one time coach for a few weeks now. While in the past they have never, not once, released any of their cheating information. Why now?

If they dont release the report they are talking about then this article is nothing.
Go on, go change your ideology right now. Like for real. With actual, deeply-held genuine belief. Did it work?

You can't distinguish ideology from religion so easily. Religion is just what we call ideology on a theological topic.
Maybe we can try, "you have to learn calculus so you can land a job that lets you pay for things & services that handle calculus for you, so you never have to think about it again".

... except most of those are cheap. So. Hm.
C++20 coroutines demonstrated one side of committee-led modern C++ that left an impression of it is ultimately designed-by and -for library writers; instead of being suggested third-party library or "wait for C++23" for better experience, I'd love to see these related machinery released the same time in the standard library.
Steamboat Willie is from 1928, almost a hundred years ago. And it is still under copyright.

So you can make that “the lifetime of their grandparents” too.
The problem with this explanation is that it doesn't answer the question "why calculus in particular". Why not chess or video games or crossword puzzles? All of them improve your mental abilities.

It's useful to understand calculus because it is a basis for science and engineering. Understanding calculus will bring you one step closer to understanding how things work.
Also, we would be gullible to whatever new trend is invented by the people who do master those topics. I have interns upset because I don’t want to pay them in bitcoins or give them shares in the company, while we’re quietly churning 1m$ ARR with just two engineers and myself (and others are doing orders of magnitude better). The same interns getting tired after 3 lines of documentation and suggesting that every documentation page should be a video, generated by those american SAAS for a hefty price. They are basically illiterate trying to cover their lack of skills.

The divide between those who use and those who get used is getting wider. And I don’t appreciate belonging to the first group, knowing how little my wisdom is.
> it's about what a "reasonable person" would think given the same situation.

Then why are the seven LAPD officers that shot at the pickup truck during their manhunt for Dorner not serving ten-to-twenty?

Because if me and six of my closest friends shot up a random, non-threatening truck with two women in it, there's not a jury in the world who wouldn't convict us, and there's not a prosecutor in the world who would decline to press charges.

They are only held to the same standards as the rest of us in theory. In practice, the bar is so low, it's practically nonexistant.
The delay would have to be a lot longer than 5 minutes. It's not uncommon for players to take 30+ mins on a single move in OTB chess.

Also, if your cheating device allows you to somehow input chess positions, then you wouldn't even require an external signal. Though it would be extremely impressive if somebody could pull that off.
There’s also a tipping point where inflation is self propelled because everyone is used to it so they just proactively raise prices on a regular basis. I experienced this growing up in Brazil in the 80s and 90s. It’s hard for Americans to relate, but essentially the mentality is spend/invest every penny you get before it loses value. Took some creative policy to break the cycle: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plano_Real
Raises hand. I don't have an iPhone, but I find wireless charging to just be kinda annoying. The only place I use it is in my car, which has a built-in charging pad, with good mechanical design that keeps the phone from moving around (and possibly losing the wireless charging "connection"). Otherwise, everywhere else, I'm always wired when I charge, and I kinda don't care about wireless charging.

> But, speaking of docks, that's the real issue -- lightning works beautifully when docking a phone into a stereo or alarm clock or etc, USB-C not so much.

I mean, there are still docks out there that have the old 30-pin Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad connector (not many; I think I saw one in an old hotel last year, but that's it). If USB-C is the primary connector used, then that's what dock manufacturers will use. And, bonus, manufacturers that actually support more than one connector can eventually drop Lightning as an option, and save on costs.

> Basically, on lightning if the tab breaks you get a new cheap cable, on USB-C if the tab breaks, you need a new dock.

Er, what? If the tab in a dock breaks, you need to get a new dock with either connector. The Lighting connector tab is just as breakable (if not more so, as it's thinner) than a USB-C plug, and if the one in your dock breaks, you're just as out of luck.
Awkward name though isn’t it mastodon
