I am happy that you are studying math+physics as a hobby. And I will say once again, that you distilled the conceptual parts of EM in the guide very well.

I will also agree with you that many professors don't teach well. I was a physics prof for a few years, and it is difficult to distill stuff well. Not everyone has the skill, passion and the job incentives to do it well. I was lucky enough to be graced with profs who did.

I am glad that you have the passion for this. I will say this though, that once you become a formal teacher (school/university), then it becomes clear to your that your responsibility is not complete until your students have the skills to use the concepts that you are teaching them. Skill here means being able to model actual physical systems and get both the behavior and numbers out. When teaching a course, you have limited contact time with students and students have limited total time to spend on the course. You have to balance teaching conceptual understanding and modelling skills in that time. That balance is extremely difficult to attain, the reasons for which will easily fill a small book.

You can go all in on concepts, and what happens is that within a few months students have completely blanked out on everything, because you need the mathematical framework and have solved difficult problems for things to stick in your brain long term. And conversely teaching only maths is terrible because no one knows and what and why.

I really appreciate the considerations at the bottom of the page. Excellent
Phonetics can be counterproductive to comprehension, or converting meaning to text. Take an example much closer to English: Scottish Gaelic, which is written with the Latin alphabet. It's considerably older than English, has more distinct consonants and vowels, and it is really difficult to guess the pronounciation from a written word if you only speak English (unlike Welsh, which has nice orthography and is easier than English in that respect).

Because of these difficulties, there is a long tradition of anglicising names of settlements to meaningless collections of letters which when read by an English speaker approximate vaguely to the original Gaelic name. Unfortunately this is not a reversible process - you can't look at a modern anglicised name and guess what the Gaelic is, in general.

Now while Gaelic has a tiny population of native speakers, there are millions of people who know some "map Gaelic" - that is, we can look at a map with Gaelic place names, and understand the elements. It doesn't work for towns and villages, but generally in the north, no-one bothered to anglicise the names of natural features, just the settlements - and walking is the most popular outdoor recreation in the UK, so we learn this when we read maps.

When the first SNP government of Scotland came in, they introduced bi-lingual road signs, even in areas where Gaelic is no longer spoken. There was and is complaint over this, but I found that things became much clearer. I could look at a placename like Machrihanish, and see that it is Machaire Shanais. I still don't know what Shanais means, but Machaire is a type of landscape that I know, so I immediately know that this is low-lying and grassy, and fairly level. I can do this for thousands of place names without being able to reliably tell how to pronounce the words - similar to the way that the pronounciation of a word indicated by a Chinese character can vary widely with the part of China, so that the pronounciation becomes quite secondary to communication.

So many apps have low-hanging fruit performance issues that don’t get addressed because they are judged to perform adequately in practice. Addressing them takes developer time, and not all developers have the skill set to do so (especially in a methodical way).

But, what if we had an AI agent dedicated to improving performance? It doesn’t need to be capable of solving every problem, but it could address the low-hanging fruit problems which aren’t hard to solve but nobody has time to look at.
I could probably figure it out, or find it documented, but it would be nice to have concise instructions on creating a Python command-line utility.
Long read, but very nice! I like the style, e.g:

> Whereas modern Mandarin is merely perversely hard, classical Chinese is deliberately impossible. Here's a secret that sinologists won't tell you: A passage in classical Chinese can be understood only if you already know what the passage says in the first place.

> But it is true that there are too many of them, and most of them were designed either by committee or by linguists, or -- even worse -- by a committee of linguists.

> A Spanish person learning Portuguese is comparable to a violinist taking up the viola, whereas an American learning Chinese is more like a rock guitarist trying to learn to play an elaborate 30-stop three-manual pipe organ.

I have always been attracted to languages with a different alphabet, but Chinese always just seemed completely out of my league. I don't know if that is correct, but Japanese seemed easier to speak (like I could repeat words or small sentences and people would understand), whereas it seems very difficult to merely say something that a Chinese native will understand.
It ebbs and flows. Afaik, most of the spam calls and text tend to "leak" through over international agreements, until the carriers block them.

The difference between a langauge and a dialet is political, not linguistic.
I don't think it's a stretch. I think the idea that LoTR is highly idealized/idyllic is an interpretation made up by people who didn't notice how carefully it's written and thought he left it out!

Similarly, a lot of later grimdarker fantasy stories try to be "Tolkein but with realistic tax systems and warfare", so something like ASoIaF tries to talk about those things more, but then messes up the actual details so it's inconsistent. But if you follow the analyses on https://acoup.blog/author/aimedtact/, the battles in LoTR are very carefully thought out and realistic (based on Tolkein's personal experience) and Gondor's feudalist system is also pretty realistic (based on his academic expertise). He just talked about the details less.

I would even say they're grimmer than "grimdark" stories, half of the Gondor battle is about the enemy using psychological warfare tactics and the story ends with Frodo having to leave with the elves because he has PTSD.

(I further claim that the reason LoTR doesn't have many women isn't because he forgot about them, it's because they're doing household labor and Frodo doesn't encounter them due to being something between a celibate priest and gay.)

This is not how three dimensional Euclidean geometry works!

Please see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesic

Geodesics are “straight” along a curved surface, regardless of if they follow the circumference.

Edit: The above is an incorrect description of geodesics, which must follow the circumference.

Perhaps a more accurate description of the problem would be to say that it is impossible to have an easterly vector field except at the equator, and Seattle is not at the equator.
i'd say, in a way, we have 'informally' agreed upon a default desktop.

the flagship edition of ubuntu? GNOME.

the flagship edition of fedora? GNOME.

RHEL? GNOME.

installing debian with its defaults? GNOME.

while KDE ships on a few distros by default, and Mint ships with Cinnamon as its flagship, by-and-large, GNOME is what you're gonna get from your "major" distributions.

I did Meta in about 2020 and they did not ask anything like that in step 1. They asked a single question that I had about 20 minutes to figure out. Nothing particularly leet codey about it; just a question that was basically asking for a dictionary implementation that also had a list for most recent access. The point wasn't the advanced algorithm; it was comprehension and a bit of code.

While you're correct, there's generally a correlation with something that's not only existed for that long, but IN USE for that long. I think that's the bigger selling point. Maybe I only get this idea from going through all comments on HN, I see your comment is from 8 hours ago, and I don't know what comments existed at the time you commented. I apologize if you didn't have much context when making this comment.

It's not nearly as satisfying as the real thing though. For me it can never be a replacement. Just an addition.

That's not how medicine operates.

Medical problems are highly contextual, so you are not going to get much valuable information at the level of what a doctor is thinking from the first page of Google. That doesn't mean it isn't a simple within our area of expertise.
The way I'd explain it is:

You have a perfect paper airplane. It flies in a straight line regardless of wind, rain, hail or snow. And it keeps in the air a really long time.

You get into an air balloon over Seattle and launch your paper airplane directly East.

The plane descends so slowly it can leave North America and go over the ocean and eventually will reach another country and still not touch the ground. What is the first country it will reach?
The instructions are impossible to follow, since there are no straight lines (in all three dimensions) along the Earth's surface.

And if it's supposed to mean "a straight line when projected onto a map", I'd like to know: Which map projection? :)
Economic stability (and the lack thereof) makes it difficult to start / grow a family. This also extends to difficulties in family planning. The result of this is that it can be economically safer / more stable to live alone in an apartment than it would be to spend money on courtship, expectations of a wedding, and house.

Lack of social support for families with children. Once you have a child, the costs and demands on the family are significant. This extends to things like reducing the support for WIC, difficulties in finding childcare (and its expense). Again, the outlook for having a child is a lot of money.

The difficulty of maintaining a family and a career (side bit - telecommuting is a step in the right direction for white collar jobs). Having a stay at home mother / wife is difficult in today's world. Both the expectations of "that's not what I want to do" and the income that isn't there. Supporting a couple on a single blue collar isn't viable, and supporting a family is way out of the question.

And so, yea, guys aren't sexually active. The social, medical, and economic risks are too high for all people involved.

Under this model, porn isn't the cause, but rather the symptom of the social and economic difficulties faced by individuals. Attempting to "treat" the symptom (of people watching porn) isn't going to make men more sexually active any more than a box of tissues next to the bed treats the flu instead.

Me? why am I a single male living alone? Because when I was in the SF Bay in the '90s and early '00s, the ratio of single women to single in the 20 to 29 age bracket was about 80 to 100 (map from 2015 http://visualizing.nyc/bay-area-zip-codes-singles-map/ - its better now than it was in the '90s ). The only place in the US that was worse were Air Force bases in Alaska. Put that down for two decades and then adding the "well, I got no money" after the dot com crash and '08 ... and I'm certainly not looking to start a family with some (un)lucky lady.

This story writ large of economic insecurity combined with misaligned demographics ( https://jonathansoma.com/singles/#2/3/2/0 ) in places where young men go to work. And while now I'm in https://jonathansoma.com/singles/#7/8/2/0 - I'm a cranky gray beard that is certainly not looking to start a family.

In an alternate universe with today's technology I would have stayed in my college town and worked remotely in tech and hooked up with that cute young woman (back then) from one of my classes rather than going our separate ways when I got a job ... though if I was 21 today that would be back to the "can't afford it" category.

The thing to do is to make the ability for someone to plan a family for the next 20 years something that can be done. Until one can look to the future and be able to feel some assurance that they'll be in a better situation than they are today, the risks and uncertainty of "settling down" are enough to stifle many of dreams of a family.

Just because your friend's dad did it doesn't mean it's easy. It's not like everyone can just spend eight hours a night walking, and it also sounds like your friend's dad ate less just because he didn't have as much time to eat what he used to eat before.

This doesn't always end well. I believe .tv Had issues around governance, and contract. Sometimes, the nation-state wants the income more than it wants ownership but if the domain takes off then the revenue flows can be complicated by commercial behaviour.

I think it best if the economy retains substantive ownership of the registry, the ICANN contract, the function, and leases the operations.

I don't know how Anguilla did it, but I do believe it's been painful for some island economies who got caught out (.nu maybe?)
work.arpa is not a thing, but you could use .internal for corporate stuff.
> Nobody would want to read a fantasy about dwarfs, hobbits, elves, and dragons if they first had to get through a complete history of the financial systems within the fantasy world.

Japanese fantasy works on a system where you look at whatever novel is currently popular, copy every surface/world detail from it, then add exactly one thing you wanted it to be all along and just talk about all the time. It's basically done for SEO reasons, but it means you can save all the setup time if every story is in the same medieval isekai that vaguely feels like Dragon Quest.

So yes, there are stories that are just about forex speculation with elves or whatever. Spice and Wolf is one.

I feel like Western writers also used to do this, but the difference is they'd copy D&D and instead make the story about the super complex magic system they made up, and frankly I don't want to hear about your magic system.
I do get lots of leetcode-style questions, just not leetcode hard questions.
Is there really validation in the current system though? Or is it simply providing self-consistent (publicly available) details?

KYC in an environment where all the data points are openly available looks very different.

That's based on the (flawed, IMO) idea that fusion just needs more resources to go faster [1]. We won't have serious fusion before decades, it's just too late to save our energy (and climate) problem.

Better go with fission at this point (preferably 4th gen because uranium 235 is limited).

A simple ban of internet ads going to fix that.

Will remove incentive to create addictive services, because then people attention and screen time will no longer bring profits, quite the opposite they will cause costs for running all these servers.

Will also fix media because if people paid for the content they wouldn’t pay anything for the media we have now. It’s not informative anymore it’s outrageous. This is because the clients are advertisers, and people are the product. Outrage causes traffic, and each page view generates profit. Mass media worked fine for the previous ~400 years because people who consume the content paid for it.

But yeah, making it happen going to be very hard politically. Still, I hope it’s possible over sufficient time, after the consequences to the society will become impossible to ignore.

2 leetcode hards is just absolutely an exaggeration, i've done tons of these interviews and i've only been asked a formal "LC hard" once and that one I believe was a misclassification and was probably more of a medium
I'm absolutely terrible at interviews, especially whiteboarding, and the best ones either involve taking a tour of my own code, or them showing parts of their codebase and me asking questions around it; or, take homes and I have a chance to explain what I built.
