Product Manager: They are essentially the voice of the customer and upper management. They work on the product roadmap and determine the requirements for the product based on the needs that are determined by conversations with the stakeholders as well as other market research. In addition to this they also work on things like product pricing, release strategy, etc.

Project Manager: They ensure that all the tasks for a project get done on time. They make the gantt charts, work with teams to break it down into sections, keep track of budgets, manage risks, report on progress to stakeholders, etc.

I've never worked with a Product Owner since I understand it is mostly a software related position and that is not my area. From what I understand, they are an intermediary that sits between PdM and PjM.

I was surprised that some author said that on the Dutch TV show "Lubach" earlier this year. He stated that the (absolute) number of copies sold to get in the top list of the Dutch market is about the same as the number of copies that gets you in a NYT list.

He explained this by saying "Americans don't read much" and you seem to imply the same. But it appears that in the US about 300,000 titles are published per year (2013 data) versus 16,000 in the Netherlands. So is this an apples-to-apples comparison ?

It's not a beam unless you work really, really hard to make it so. A typical filament in an ordinary vacuum tube for amplification is an omnidirectional emitter, the particles will be accelerated towards the charged grid of the tube.

Only in very specific 'cathode ray tubes' (which is how traditionally monitors and TVs would work) do the particles become a beam.

FWiW I started out in Engineering and transferred out to a more serious mathematics | physics stream.

The Engineering curriculum as I found it was essentially rote for the first two years.

It had more exams and units than any other courses (including Medicine and Law which tagged in pretty close) and included Chemistry 110 (for Engineers) in the Chemistry Department, Physics 110 (for Engineers) in the Physics Department, Mathematics 110 (for Engineers) in the Mathematics Department, and Tech Drawing, Statics & Dynamics, Electrical Fundementals, etc in the Engineering Department.

All these 110 courses for Engineers covered "the things you need to know to practically use this infomation" .. how to use Linear Algebra to solve loading equations in truss configurations, etc.

These were harder than the 115 and 130 courses that were "{Chemistry | Math | Physics} for Business Majors" etc. that essentially taught familiarity with subjects so you could talk with the Engineers you employed, etc.

But none of the 110 courses got into the meat of their subjects in the same way as the 100 courses, these were taught to instruct people who intended to really master. Maths, Physics, or Chemistry.

Within a week or two of starting first year university I transfered out of the Maths 110 Engineering unit and into Math 100, ditto Chem and Physics. Halfway through second year I formally left Engineering the curriculum altogether (although I later became a professional Engineer .. go figure).

The big distinction between Math 100 V. Math 110 was the 110 course didn't go into how anything "worked", it was entirely about how to use various math concepts to solve specific problems.

Math 100 was fundementals, fundementals, fundementals - how to prove various results, how to derive new versions of old things, etc.

Six months into Math 100 nothing had been taught that could be directly used to solve problems already covered in Math 110.

Six months and one week into Math 100 and suddenly you could derive for yourself from first principals everything required to be memorised in Math 110 and Math 210 (Second year "mathematics for engineers").
If anyone can point me to a good resource to become a stronger problem solver using Python, I sure would be grateful.
The only reason to engineer a bridge is to cut costs as much as possible. There are very few bridges made that are engineering challenges because they couldn't just be brute forced with more materials, but all bridges are focused with money first. Look at old architecture, it is beautiful because they said "if we're gonna throw this much money at it, we might as well throw a little more to make it beautiful".

Getting better at making stuff made stuff less cool and more functional. In dating apps, instead of trying to actually match people that would probably be great together, they use the app to match as many people as possible together, knowing it will fail (or, function as a hookup), and keep the people coming back.

I think you are probably right that it is just the result of people mishearing the expression. In particular if my understanding was correct it would be delivered in a tone similar to how you’d expect to hear something like, “well, I could care less,” if that makes sense.

I just read the Wikipedia entry for "Clickbait."

While one could technically derive a stark, bizarrely restrictive definition to be a link that requires one to click through to satisfy one's curiosity, any good faith reading would note that the whole point of the term is to characterize links which are also sensationalized and deceptive (upon reading click-through content).

The 2nd paragraph makes this explicit, comparing click-bait to pre-digital "bait-and-switch," which is-- again-- a deceptive practice.

Being annoyed at having to click a link isn't the same as being deceived into clicking one.

According to my manual (a Hyundai), some of the "severe" usages which suggest a quicker oil change interval are:

- repeated short distance driving

- extended periods of idling or low peed operation

- more than 50% driving in heavy city traffic during hot weather above 90F

If you've got a commute in heavy traffic in a Southern US state or just a really short commute of only a few miles where you're not really getting things well up to temp, its pretty easy to hit these "severe" situations.
> … he wanted to oppose communists' ideas of "scientific materialism."

> … that’s the part Popper got right, maybe science is about an unbiased search…

> …at least we have a test that communists obviously fail…

i could be misunderstanding what you’re implying and if so apologies, but Popper wasn’t some anti-communist nutbag, in fact, if he “wanted to oppose” communism, that would have been fundamentally counter to his ideal of keeping things “unbiased”

Popper was very open how much he admired Marx, he even tended to agree with Marx’ analysis of capitalism. where he disagreed was that 1) we were destined to be slaves to be servants if we 2) don’t have violent revolution.. He was quite clear that the state should absolutely be heavy handed to protect the lower classes from the wealthy’s constant tendencies to abuse the poor. Again, he agreed with much of Marx’s writing but where Marx thought it would require violent revolution, Popper believed we could use other methods such as “social engineering” to counter the rich. He was also concerned that so many people agreed about violent revolution being the only way out. He wrote about this admiration for Marx quite a bit:

> …a grandiose philosophic system, comparable or even superior to the holistic systems of Plato and Hegel. Marx was the last of the great holistic system builders.

and

> [Marx] made an honest attempt to apply rational methods to the most urgent problems of social life… His sincerity in his search for truth and his intellectual honesty distinguish him…

Popper was concerned that under unrestrained capitalism:

> ..the economically strong is free to bully one who is economically weak, and to rob him of his freedom,… Those who possess a surplus of food can force those who are starving into a ‘freely’ accepted servitude.”

Philosophy Now sums it up well, “Throughout his scrutiny of Marx, Popper treads a thin line between admiration and apprehension.” [0]

again, apologies if i misinterpreted what you were implying, just wanted to clarify that Popper wasn’t some kind of nutbag mccarthy style rabid anti-communist or whatever. he just thought we could “social engineer” our way away from psychotic nationalism and unchecked capitalism rather than requiring full blown revolution.

This is a really weird take. There is such a long history of shared insights between biology and neural network research, and to say they’re unrelated or can’t take inspiration from one another is bizarre.

> The concept of CNNs didn't come from biology

I just opened a survey paper on CNNs and literally the first sentence of the paper reads:

> “Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a well-known deep learning architecture inspired by the natural visual perception mechanism of the living creatures. In 1959, Hubel & Wiesel [1] found that cells in animal visual cortex are responsible for detecting light in receptive fields. Inspired by this discovery…”

empathy to random humans is rare, empathy to those in your immediate vicinity is not. I suspect the biggest asshole at your work probably has empathy for their family.

The fundamental issue at play here is trying to manipulate language by using the word disgusting to evoke a stronger reaction than is warranted.

At some point you're going to need a stronger word than disgusting because you've watered it down so much. Where do you go?

You're going to have to dig deeper. The concept of a receptive field goes all the way back to convolutional filters.

It's not surprising that we found out later the brain also uses such a fundamental element of signal theory.
It’s intuitive that a patient who can spend an order of magnitude more time on his self care, and can self-articulate their symptoms, can occasionally self-diagnose better than a doctor. It’s not intuitive that a clinician with 4 years training and the same 30 minute window to diagnose you would do better than a physician with 12 years training.

Personally I got sick of updates hosing my OpnSense home router, so I installed Proxmox on a little Zotec mini PC. That way I can clone it, update, then rollback as needed (pita just having serial console access, gotta dig out an old HP laptop with a serial port etc).

Just today I bought a new ASUS mini pc (PN52). That'll be for Proxmox, and my new world order (making an mmo, not fancy 3d one, but still addictive).
While I agree with this emotional post there is one nuance. Neural networks aren't intelligent, brain is. And that's where we want to be. Checking gradients and studying filters can get us only this far. So, using brain as inspiration looks like a good option. There are other, but nobody knows where next breakthrough will be. Like nobody knew five years back that transformers are so powerful. My guess next step to AGI will be a complex modular multi-modal system. With hierarchy, workers and controllers, complex signals.. Sound familiar? Brain is sort of it. This is need for embodied AI, obviously. But, interesting thing, it's needed even for body-less AGI too. I.e. AGI is not a big calculator (!), it's more like real-time system. One reason is that full search is impossible. So, in many cases requests will be like 'give the best answer you can find in 4 seconds'. 'and keep looking'. So far we have only real-time dumb robots and NN big calculators. And brains, of course.

I don’t think this is an apt comparison, but I do think the amount of energy it takes to grow a human into brain maturity in adulthood is an interesting one. Brains + bodies over a 20 year development cycle is still probably much less than training even a low quality Llm.

I think its "replaceable" not "removeable" batteries, using "readily available tools".

So don't think removeable batteries of the past held together by a sliding cover - more like grab an eyeglass screwdriver and a few minutes later its out.

I think the distiction is slight but there is a difference between an object meant to attach/de-attach (like old laptop batteries) and the m2 hard drive in my laptop. Both are technically replaceable, only one was designed to be removeable.
Yes. The first thing that happened with european contact was trade. I don't believe they were unfamiliar with it.

I sympathize with the person you're responding to a lot more than you.

It's very easy to understand what a dual space is. It's very hard to understand why you should care. Many of the constructions that use it seem arbitrary: if finite vector spaces are isomorphic to their duals, why bother caring about the distinction? There are answers to this question, but you get them somewhere between 1 and 5 years later. It is a pedagogical nightmare.

Every concept should have both a definition and a clear reason to believe you should bother caring about it, such as a problem with the theory that is solved by the introduction of that concept. Without the motivating examples, definitions are pointless (except, apparently, to a certain breed of mathematicians).

I've read something like 100 math textbooks at this point. I would rate their pedagogical quality between an F and a D+ at best. I have never read a good math textbook. I don't know what it is, but mathematicians are determined to make the subject awful for everybody who doesn't think the way they do.

(I hope someday to prove that it's possible to write a good math textbook by doing it, but I'm a long way away from that goal.)
I'm sure the authors meant well, but it's absurd to act like this is a solution. They could have a clean source of water, but the federal government is siding against them[1] for water rights so that retirees in Arizona can have golf courses and manicured lawns in the middle of a desert[2].

How is circumference defined?

And I can think of a counterexample on a sphere, just using Euclidean distance on the surface. Consider a circle with centre at North Pole and radius being the distance from the North Pole to a point on the equator. For this circle it is easy to find out that pi=2
Batteries are still expensive. An iPad battery for instance is easily in the 100~200 bucks, same for laptops. The iPhone might come lower (50?) but even with a simple system, opening the device will till probably enough of a friction to not make it worth it to most people.

To make a comparison to cameras, I don't know how many people care to buy spare batteries outside of pros and people actually going through 2 or 3 batteries on their trips. Everyone else is probably using the one coming with their camera until it dies and then replaces it.
If they're paid enough you can select for humans with superior talents and, at least as important, training. Heck, with infinite money you could have them train for 5 or 10 years before ever having a real-case person to interact with.
Read some actual history books (as in, academic historians, not pop historians).
I have also been curious about the renting strategy you mentioned.

But then I realized that if everyone has EV’s and they all use this rental strategy, burst rental prices will be insane.
Problem is "the planet" is part of the requirements in that sentence too, since the original meter definition was 1/40000 of the circumference of the earth.

You don't need to sail around the world for that, you can get it by shadow measurements, but you need measurements from two places on earth at the same time of year/position of the sun. cf. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes#Measurement_of_Ea... ]. The result you get from that is knowing what fraction of the earth's circumference is between the two places, which with the 1/40000 definition you can convert to meters. It's certainly doable, but you need the places to be reasonably far apart to get any accuracy, so… more of a "summer road trip" project, but could be fun with kids? ;)

To be fair, the entire idea of metrology is that a few people do the work to get primary references and you distribute from there. There's a reason entities like NIST and PTB gets tax dollars.
Oh, I was measuring the sides in Euclidean length. In Manhattan length they're 2000 each, so area is 4 million.
I would move to a more peaceful place long before I'd let that happen.
So you think people watching over-the-air television are morally obligated to watch the ads and not mute them, leave the room, use a DVR to skip them, etc.?
Yes, this. I've been trying to find a general way to automatically semantically chunk various legislation for a while now. Partly so as to diff various versions/amendments, but also to graph connections to other referenced legislation.

Most of the time I end up having to just take half an hour to manually regex and format plain text.

A particular case I have is where there is a draft bill put out for industry/community consultation. Quickly diffing the releases is the goal but for now usually relies on one (preferably two) subject matter experts to read the whole thing top to bottom to build an understanding. I don't think these would be available via the means you've secured. They are usually hosted on a relevant government entities website as PDFs

One last question/comment, have you considered adding some additional reference info like the federal list of entities?[1]

I don't understand how this article can be so remiss as to lack a map with some kind of depiction of where it currently lies under the sea, where it probably was at various stages of history when it was above-water, etc.
I can only speak to my own experiences, but the math courses were not customised for engineering students. I sat next to students who were planning to become mathematicians. Linear Algebra was an optional course for me.

Having said that, I’m sure theorem proving was part of it (this was many years ago), I just don’t recall it as being fundamental in any sense. I’m sure that has something more to do with the student than the course work. I liked (and like), maths, but I was there to build my tool chest. A different student, with a different emphasis, would have gotten different things out of the course.

But I think my viewpoint is prevalent in engineering, even from engineers who started with a math degree. The emphasis on “what can I do with this”, relegates theorem proving to annoying busywork.

It could just be me.
> previously: comparing brains and "electronic computers")

Before that: comparing brain with hydraulic machines. There has been tendency to compare brain with most complex machine known to us at that particular time.

"Descartes was impressed by the hydraulic figures in the royal gardens, and developed a hydraulic theory of the action of the brain. We have since had telephone theories, electrical field theories, and now theories based on computing machines… . We are more likely to find out how the brain works by studying the brain itself, and the phenomenon of behavior, than by indulging in far-fetched physical analogies." -- Karl Lashley 1951
