> I cannot overstate how destructive this is, because it basically presents math as this arbitrary logic game rather than as a fundamental language of the universe.

You are making a clear philosophical assumption yet don't realize it. Is math really the 'fundamental language of the universe'? or is it an arbitrary logic game that, in its most common interpretation, describes the universe well? Given that we have no full formulation of the universe in terms of mathematics (no theory of everything), the claim that mathematics as it is today is the 'fundamental language of the universe' seems laughably wrong.

On the other hand, there are thousands of formal mathematical systems that don't describe anything 'real' as far as we can tell. I mean, the entirety of the lambda calculus was developed before there were any computers that could realize any it in any physical system. Yet, its development has proven incredibly important in the entire foundations of mathematics (many theorem provers, etc are based on some variant of lambda calculus).

I'm not denying that some people learn calculus, algebra, etc (i.e., standard high-school/early college maths) with physical systems in mind. However, mathematics is much more than that and limiting the field only to that which we can sense is actually detrimental to mathematical progress as a whole. It seems best to me to encourage purely mathematical thinking itself in the hope that the arbitrary systems humans create may one day be used to describe something. History is littered with 'useless' subfields of math later becoming fundamental to the economy (number theory and elliptic curves to cryptography, lambda calculus to computation, group theory to quantum physics, etc)

My own understanding is that OpenCL is semi-obsolete at the moment (although newer standards revisions are still coming out, so this may change in the future) with forward-looking projects mostly targeting Vulkan Compute or SYCL.

(There are some annoying differences in the low-level implementations of OpenCL vs. Vulkan Compute, due to their being based on SPIR-V compute "kernels" vs. "shaders" respectively, that make it hard for them to interop cleanly. So that's why the choice can be significant.)
This, it is also on the other end of performance spectrum.

I think this is mostly it. But a little more generously, a lot of business leaders do have civic pride and if remote work is going to collapse the city's tax base, that isn't about personal profit. There are practical and emotional reasons why politicians, business leaders, educational and healthcare institutions, non-profits etc. would not want this. And this all trickles down to voters - people don't want to live in a crappy place!
Isn't it the other way round? Aren't the lower socio-economic classes signaling their lower status by doing weird things?

Say listening to shitty music while wearing big gold chains (real or not), Luis Vuitton cap and Luis Vuitton man purses thinking it's somehow "cool" or that it somehow "shows wealth" for example is a behavior that screams: "I'm from a low socio-economic class".

Or going to this or that country to support one's favorite soccer team, while wearing players' outfits, and singing gross songs while drunk. That also gives it away.

I also don't see many of my doctors full of tatoos (sister-in-law is a great tatoo artist btw) as if they were mexican hitmen, with piercing in the nose and ears. I saw zero doctors like that in my entire life. Same for judges, lawyers, ambassadors, etc. And nobody forces people to cover themselves in tatoos and piercing. Yet some people decide to give it away by being like that.

I mean: just as there may be shifting modes of elite distinction over the centuries, there may very well be shifting modes of low class distinction over the centuries too.

No, the Apollo Guidance Computer block I also used integrated circuits: 4100 3-input NOR gates according to Eldon Hall's book. It's a bit murky what computer was the first to use ICs. Texas Instruments built the Semiconductor Network Computer in 1961, calling it "molecular electronics" or "Mol-E-Com". The AC Spark Plug MAGIC and Martin MARTAC 420 development started in 1961.

It attempts to manage obfuscation with more obfuscation. People are results and cost oriented, and I'm sorry to tell the climatologists that psychology is not going to change just because they think they have a good scary story to tell. It does not matter how you twist the story up, what relations you use, or what scale of numbers you decide to use. Until people see a material change, they're not going to make massive changes themselves.

They didn't say they aren't participating. They said quite clearly that they are. The accusation has been that they are buying single-family homes and then renting them out. Their position here is that they don't operate at that level at all. They are merely providing capital to companies who may or may not be doing stuff like that at scale.

Been a Unity developer for years. Was shocked and dismayed by the runtime fee announcement debacle. Was pleased at the result with JR leaving. The new CEO seems okay so far. I'd initially though of him as a hatchet man who will let the next CEO come in with clean hands, but maybe not. He seems to be talking to developers and listening.

The company NEEDS to reduce its headcount and its monte carlo solver approach to growth and profitability. They have not made meaningful progress on the Unity Editor in several years. Most pros use the old systems and those that bet their company on the new engine systems pay a heavy price. The amount and variety of debt that has piled up is staggering. They have to start servicing it.

So, the company will look like it is bleeding but I honestly think it's about time. It needs an intervention to find a way forward.

On this news I bought Unity (U) stock for the first time today. It was a token amount because I want to get insider comms, but I have never considered buying it at all before.
Photogrammetry capability has been around for decades. It's faster now, and the auto-alignment works better.

Open Drone Map does much the same thing, by different means. You feed a few dozen pictures from your drone into the program and get out something that looks like Google Earth. Open source, too. Machine learning techniques have helped the alignment and camera calibration problems substantially.

It's still a niche thing, like spherical photography.

Hmm. Would that be easier on the wrists than melding the two together? I'm not sure. It would certainly give me more buttons to play with...

1. I think the research shows that increasing the cognitive load increases the retention. So in general, when it is harder to learn something, you retain it better.

2. When I struggle with books it is because they do not present the motivation behind what they are doing. Videos and "more popular" articles can both provide the big-picture motivation and overview. Sometimes, you have to construct a motivation for yourself, based on what you read. That's hard. Maybe you even invent something new in order to understand a concept better. This approach is slow, though. It's easier if someone explains to you why a certain concept is "hard" or a point of view from which the concept is "easy".

3. I think students who build on a partial understanding are not going to have a better time with videos. They are in greater need of learning how to learn something than they are of facts, but school does not teach that skill (afaik).

I think you make a good point here, JS is uniquely able to be executed both frontend and backend, hence things such as underscore templates.

Other languages don't have that ability. Therefore I would agree that there is no point in making a 1to1 copy of existing MVC ideas.

My experience as a math major is that most non-mathematicians, including engineering and chem/phys professors, have a working understand of math and don't think too deep about it.

Yes.

Again, large portions of academia simply stick to their small subfield, publish there, and don't think much about the broader implications, if they think about them at all. This is why so many discoveries are made by new entrants to a field with a slightly different background.

What about all the potential New Yorks that are currently too cold to live in but could be thriving cities if they were just warmer?

More humans die every year of cold than of heat. Just due to the asymmetry of the numbers, there's a good chance that global temp increases will actually save lives, a fact that is rarely mentioned by articles like this.
I don't know how or where you learned calculus, but when I learned it and when I taught it, the classes were filled with physical world examples to motivate and train the material. That said, my experience as a student reflected on as an instructor, was that a lot of the explanation and example stuff didn't have a lot of fertile ground in my mind yet when I was first learning the material. I'm sure it helped, but there were definitely times when as a grad student I reviewed the foundational material and thought "This makes so much sense, why didn't they teach me this when I was in high school?" only to realize that almost certainly they had taught me that in high school and I just didn't have the mathematical maturity yet to retain it. I think I was also hampered in my chances of learning the conceptual fundamentals because I was able to do most of the work through a solid ability at algebraic manipulation. While solid skills in algebraic manipulation is quite important, I do think it would be a good idea to restructure those classes so that a solid conceptual understanding is also more necessary to pass the class. Of course, easier said than done.

Define _app_. React doesn't have batteries, it has composability. Web Components do too but you have to know how (it's a lot easier in React, just return (html)) but in Web Components, you can register your custom element and provide the functionality that you call "batteries". [1] So if you don't care about attributes and just want semantic composable things, just call it whatever you want to. <user-avatar></user-avatar>.

Why not link some if there's so much? But be careful: it has to be marriage specifically, as compared to relationships w/o marriage.

What we actually know is how marriage ends. Right now, it is already divorce, for almost every marriage.

When divorce happens, courts rule in favor of the woman, most of the time. As a man, it is irrational to marry.

When there's children, it is well demonstrated to result in very bad odds for the healthy development of these children.

As a parent, or intend-to-be parent, it isn't just irrational, but deeply irresponsible as it involves the children's well-being and future.
It really depends what you consider 'real'. It is actually pretty straightforward to realize a representation of 10^241 (you just did). Why does that make it any less real than the digit 2, which represents two things, but is actually just itself one thing.

> Another related notion is that there is no way to 'realize' an irrational 'number' -- sqrt(2) can be defined but we can never draw a length of sqrt(2).

Again, it's unclear what anyone means by things like 'sqrt(2)'. Why is drawing a thing of length sqrt(2) any different than drawing a thing of length 1? If I draw a thing of length 1 and say it's a line of length 1, then why is that different than my drawing the same line, claiming its length is sort(2) and then pointing out that it's actually now impossible to mark where 1 would appear along its length?
My father wanted a computer for doing CAD, so of course he needed a 387 beside the 386.

From what I remember, unlike the 386, for which both Intel and AMD models were available, the 387 was produced only by Intel, which meant that the cheaper and more performant 40MHz AMD processor had not a corresponding FPU, so if you needed floating point operations you had to spend more money for a slower CPU.

What he ended up doing instead, was to get a relative to assemble him a PC with a 40MHz AMD 386 and a 20MHz Intel 387. Surprisingly it did work, as long as one would remember to press the "Turbo" button to slow the 386 to 20MHz before using the CAD software otherwise it would crash.

The rest of the software would happily work at 40MHz
