To each his own, but epsilon-delta is my go-to example of formalizing an intuitive concept ("gets closer and closer"), which is a high-level mathematical skill.

The intuition and the formalism are presented together (at least, they should be!). To learn the role of epsilon and delta, the student needs to jump back and forth, finding the correspondences between equations and the motivation. This is a skill that needs practice; this was one of the first places I found the equations dense enough that I couldn't just "swallow them whole".

(The earlier I remember is the quadratic formula, which I first painfully memorized as technical trivia. It took me a couple of years to grasp that it was completing-the-square in general form. Switching between the general and the specific is another skill that you develop)

I’m really confused by this line of reasoning.

If someone had the power and popular and/or oligarchic support necessary to overturn the entire current system of government and transition to being some kind of emperor, couldn’t they just stage a military coup right now?

Why would they wait for an election to take place? And given that no coup has been executed, what is everyone so worried about? Why would that person even bother campaigning?

If they don’t have the necessary military support, then any coup attempt would just be put down by the military. Simply declaring oneself emperor does not make it so.

I feel like people have watched too many movies.

I agree with you, but if Cuba wants better Internet access there's nothing stopping them from landing an underwater cable in Mexico. It's about the same distance.
It's right for everyone to be questioning the foundations of our political order, because our political order isn't working great these days.

My assessment is that the US is a structure built on several solid conceptual pillars, and one pillar that is absolutely broken. The strong pillars are concepts like democracy, civil rights, economic freedom, and science.

The broken pillar is "E Pluribus Unum" - the idea that we'll all naturally converge on some set of shared ethical values with enough reasoning, debate, and discussion. In reality, the opposite happened - we've split into at least two separate nations. There are millions of people in the US who believe that gun ownership is basically murder and abortion is a sacred human right, and millions of people who believe the exact opposite. These groups cannot be expected to share a political structure, especially one that vests such enormous amounts of power in the central government. And this point of violent disagreement is merely the beginning, there are dozens of other bitterly contested ethical issues.

Americans should begin to ask what we actually gain by being locked in a political system with millions of people with moral systems that are utterly different from our own. Remind me why it is so great to live in such an enormous and unwieldy country? What do I gain, exactly?

I believe that those who follow this train of thought will see that the only answer to our present problems is National Divorce. Texas should be governed by Texan values; California should be governed by Californian values.
This article doesn't mention the biggest solution, that we can directly observe in the healthiest democracies : having a strong free education system.

Switzerland and Northern Europe countries are amazing for that. The political consciousness of the average Joe is incredible in comparison of the average American.

It's a chicken-egg problem. You need free education for democracy to work. And you need democracy to fund free education.
> This cycle, which was recognized by Polybius and called anacyclosis, played itself out in both Athens and Rome in antiquity.

Could you be more explicit about Rome please? From what I know, the transition from Roman kings to the Republic doesn't match the pattern you describe. Neither does the fall of the Western Empire. In neither case is there a transition from kings to aristocratic rule to democracy.

These were master and late Bachelor courses, so 30 people at most. Exams lasted around 60 minutes, of which around 45 were questions.

>how many questions are asked?

Totally depends on the subject and how the exam goes.

>What's it like in general?

Your professor is poking you with questions. Usually he has prepared some general questions and then asks follow ups. It might go something like this. "What is X Theorem? What does it represent geometrically? Does conditions Z need to be true for the Theorems to hold? Can you name a counter example? How does the proof (discussed in lecture) look like? How exactly do you construct that part? Where do you need that condition? Here is a similar theorem (not discussed in class), can you outline a proof for this?"
How lame, Google used to be fun.
This is wrong. There are no secondary sanctions against Cuba.

Cuba is poor because Cuba is Communist. They can trade with everyone except the United States, if they had anything to trade with.

The US sanctions do serve as a wonderful excuse for the Cuban government to blame the poverty they inflict upon their own citizens on the United States. Plenty of gullible people outside the country fall for it as well.

The link between the title, the contents of the article, and the concept of a cycle as usually understood couldn't be more tenuous.

So... in a nutshell, we've observed for a while that there is a 11-year cycle. We're five years into one of those. We've just detected the same kind of activity which was detected 11 years ago, which makes us believe that 6 years from now, the cycle will repeat.

In other words, the sun isn't "starting the next solar cycle" I guess?

The title of this article is like saying, it's the middle of the night here in New York, but we're hearing that there's daylight in Dubai right now so, let's title our article "Sunrise is happening already - despite it being 2AM in NYC"

> the two main parties are too selfish to want this to happen

This is the thing that so many on HN don't get (as evidenced in the replies so far): neither party is your friend. Neither party actually wants solutions because both parties thrive when government is perpetually bad.

The Republicans can't actually accomplish their stated goal of completely dismantling government at the federal level because if they did then there would be no federal bogeyman to rally their base against. They can't actually close the border because then there would be no more immigrants to hate.

Likewise, the Democrats don't actually want Trump's popularity on the right to fade because then they'd lose the most effective rallying cry they've had in years. The policies they've chosen to focus on are unpopular outside of the far left and have cost them a lot of support from the moderate voters, so their only chance of success is to persuade the moderates that this will be the last fair election if Biden doesn't win.

Everyone in Washington knows that the supposed threat to democracy is nonsense. If they believed otherwise they'd have booted Biden out of the race for an electable candidate a year ago. But it's part of the game that they play to get your vote and stay in power.

So, to your point: I agree wholeheartedly. The two existing parties are corrupt to the core and there's nothing left to salvage. We need to dismantle the two-party system, and for that we need to fix the voting system. First past the post has to go.
Truly puzzling why Google is doing these things that do not scale. Their DNA historically has been doing things for billions of users, not 10 companies that might ever pay for this. Google is a technology company through and through, they have a great engineering talent, and they can keep shifting paradigm in many areas, especially in cloud. Yet, the short-term profit motive of the rot economy is taking another tech giant hostage.
Eric Schmidt was running Novell 1997-2001, when things went all the way down the tubes. I was shocked when Google hired him.
If that really were how it worked, I don’t think that software would really exist at all. Open Source would probably be the first to disappear too — who would contribute to, say, Linux, if you could go to jail for a pull request you made because it turns out they were using it in a life or death situation and your code had a bug in it. That checks all the same boxes that your scenario does: someone is dead, they wouldn’t be if you didn’t have a bug in your code.

Now, a tort is less of a stretch than a crime, but thank goodness I’m not a lawyer so I don’t have to figure out what circumstances apply and how much liability the TOS and EULAs are able to wash away.
I would assume there's some kind of catalog or configuration guide y'all could publish but maybe not.
Hospital IT sucks. Look at a news report about a ransomware or this and it can easily be a few weeks for them to get back in shape. This one is hopefully easier because reportedly CloudStrike can sometimes pull an update before it BSODs and most windows machines auto restart on BSOD, so just leaving things unattended may be enough.

Restore from backup or reimaging fresh often means you need a working backup or image server, which at a lot of these places is also a Windows server and is likely also running the same endpoint protection, and is likely also boot looping.

Restore from zero isn't something any IT wants to do, and many of them aren't prepared to do it either.

Like it or not, hospital care revolves around the electronic medical records systems, and while Kaiser Southern California in the 90s was using amber screens and some sort of mainframe, afaik, almost everyone is on EPIC now, which is a windows application with all the baggage that contains. Even before EPIC took over Kaiser, they were running terminal emulators on Windows.

IMHO, it would be better for them to put together a ground up desktop distribution with exactly what they need, but that has user training costs and development costs.
Fun fact, I'm a grandchildren of poles who lived in what was polish land but given to Ukraine after WW2 when Stalin moved Ukraine westwards (and compensated Poland with former German land).

my theory is that we have to keep repeating this until a stable formula is found. It probably wont be any good but i think given enough time it will happen.

if we excessively simplify the problem is people acting in their own interest rather than that of the system. If you want to build something you do have to put building it first or else you are just dishonest.

imho if you want results you have to exclude people who are unwilling or unable to constructive contribute. The system must be such that those who expect others to organize everything don't become victims. perhaps just ask them if the thing is working with some kind of punishment and rollback logic.
There is no blockade, and there hasn't been since the Cuban Missile Crisis. An embargo prohibits US citizens and US-owned businesses from trading with Cuba. A blockade would be the US Navy preventing anyone else's ships from entering Cuba to trade.

Cuba is poor because Cuba is Communist. The US is not the only trading partner in the world, but a country has to have something to trade in order to engage in trade, and Cuba has nothing.

I doubt my under 5 year old knew much beyond she couldn't as easily socialize at a point in time where it was foundational. Sure she'd have been upset if granny died but I don't think the sacrifice calculus of that registered for her level of happiness, all she really understood was being couped up a bit more than she might have otherwise been.

Whether anything we did actually saved grandma is of course speculative.
As much as I appreciate using precise language, I had to look this one up:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noosphere

I guess the use of the term instead of a more common descriptor like "society" implies a religious or at least spiritualist world view, but the way you're using it implies the attacks stemming from an unspecified "other", which doesn't quite fit at least from a cursory look at the philosophy behind it.

My criticism would be that much like Thatcher said though in a very different sense: there is no such thing as society, there are just individuals. Or more specifically: there's no such thing as a unified whole of society or humanity across history, there are actors with different interests and different levels of influence and each actor may consist of more than one person and each person may be part of more than one actor. The assumption that debate between political opposites on shared interests must bring them closer presupposes that both sides want to be closer and that the purpose of the debate is to find truth rather than to loop in the audience to join your side.
That's what happens when you take your most productive/creative minds, thrown them in the trash, and replace them with greedy MBA drones.
How would he get in trouble?

Hippa doesn't apply in Europe but GDPR, and I don't see how that would be in violation since my information was exchanged only between the two parties with my consent, on an encrypted channel.

They would only get into trouble if that info would leak in an identifiable way to unauthorized third parties and would cause damages (here there's no punitive damages like in the US). And people here tend to guard their WhatsApp chats pretty well since it's what everyone uses and it also contains their private chats so in a sense it can even be more secure than the official medical channels which are just more burocratic but offer no actual guarantee of more data security.

I have some serious reservation about the grokking papers and there's the added complication that test performance is not a great proxy for generalization performance. It is naive to assume the former begets the latter because there are many underlying assumptions there that I think many would not assume are true once you work them out. (Not to mention the common usage of t-SNE style analysis... but that's a whole other discussion)

It is important to remember that there are plenty of alternative explanations to why the "sudden increase" in performance happens. I believe if people had a deeper understanding of how metrics work that the phenomena would become less surprising and make one less convinced that scale (of data and/or model) will be insufficient to create general intelligence. But this does take quite a bit of advanced education (that is atypical from a ML PhD) and you're going to struggle to obtain it "in a few weekends".

Perhaps the most significant problem with maintaining free trade with places outside of Europe is that the lax environmental and labor regulations in those places make it extremely hard to compete.

If one factory has to operate clean and one doesn’t, who is going to make the cheaper product? If one factory has access to borderline slave labor and one doesn’t, who is etc.

Putting aside competition and focusing on morality, I don’t really understand how people put their head in the sand about the environmental and human damage they support abroad that they would never tolerate at home. The air we breathe is the same air that factories anywhere in the world pollute into, and people in Asia are just as human as we are.

I think a good approach would be to apply tariffs that offset the cost of environmental and labor regulations in America, which would be removed if the foreign countries adopt equivalent regulations and prove that they are in compliances. The state of affairs we have had for many decades now is insanity.
