In the world that I imagine could exist, we'd do away with algebra 2 and pre-calculus in high school, which are a waste of 2 years, and instead do something like algebra -> geometry -> calc1 -> calc2 -> linear algebra -> abstract algebra, with linear algebra being concrete things like adding arrows and solving systems, and abstract algebra introducing basics of monoids, groups, vector spaces, and homomorphisms. It's sort of unfortunate that even the basic ideas of algebraic thinking (i.e. structures and structural transformations) are pretty much not even hinted at to anyone but math majors, and yet we spend years of school on something called "algebra". So even technical people can't see the point of structural modeling.
Audulus is also very fun to play around with, although it's focused more around sound/patch design.

There is ambiguity, insofar as the whole document is a word salad of sentence fragments and rambling sentences that branch off in different directions without logical coherence.

It takes quite some effort to discern the intended meaning, which I agree matches your interpretation.

Even the tier system is declare but it's meaning never explained.

Calling out "weird" and no other word is hilarious, suggesting that Team MAGA is still sore over how much people enjoyed using that term to describe the bizarre behavior of of Trump and company.
If there's resistance to picking a style guide, autoformatting might be a viable start and will probably do quite a bit for shallow consistency at the price of large PR:s once per file. Once one has worked with a forced style for a while it starts to feel weird to see breaches of it, and I think that might help softening people to adapting a style guide regarding more subtle things like error handling or attitude to standardised protocols like HTTP.

If you believe that antivax debate was in the mainstream in the US and there wasn’t an active attempt to suppress just because some voices bled through the censorship, you are simply wrong. Zuckerberg even noted in this announcement that pressure from the Biden administration to censor speech was significant.

My consistent point here is that censorship drives extremism because it suppresses the debate where the debate wants to take place and pushes the conversation to those interested in the topic to siloed echo chambers. That definitely happened around vaccines in the US over the last 4-5 years. I know that happens for a fact and have personally tried to gently encourage people I know that felt the censorship frustrations and leapt to other platforms to still read all sides before making decsions.

Whatever Zuckerberg’s internal motivations are on this change of policy, I don’t care. Community notes seems to be a better way than suppression. Others may have a different opinion and thats ok. I encourage them to freely express it and would never support any one trying to shut that debate down.

Also a big fan of Strang. "Linear algebra and its applications" has problem sets with solutions for odd number questions.

Would highly recommend https://mathacademy.com/courses/linear-algebra or https://mathacademy.com/courses/mathematics-for-machine-lear...

I originally spent time working through practice problems from one of Strang's books, now really appreciate how systematic math academy is in assessing, building a custom curriculum, then doing spaced repetition.

Logging off life but living on: How AI redefines death, memory and immortality
Endorsing Back Mechanic as a great book for fixing back issues, at least for my own experience. Referenced a copy after I first threw out my back. Took months of regular McGill exercises to get back to normal (could barely even walk for a week). It was extremely comforting to know that my back pain problems were fixable, and regressions could be solved with more careful adherence to the exercise regime. I am as active as I have ever been 7 years later, and now I understand the warning signs when I have been mistreating my back.

Edit: For the past few years I've also been sitting in a https://qor360.com/ chair when I'm working. I've found I've had fewer warning niggles of incipient back pain during the periods where I regularly sit in this kind of active chair. I could only tolerate it for brief periods at first but the adjustment period was worth working through.
You would be correct - I would blame autocorrect to save face here, but that would be a total lie. I had never really thought (and perhaps ever said that) before, so learned something new. Sometimes the most obvious is what sneaks past.

I assume your position is rather negative towards these developments, which I would understand and agree with. However, this attitude of yours seems to reflect the general mood of 2025: fatigue over everyone important folding to Trump and wanting to please him, us bystanders feeling numb and helpless. Too tired to protest, too burned out for another pointless internet feud. Just watching the new conservative reality unfold.

I don't have the energy for the constant statements. He can spew more than I have time or energy, and now he has people who can spew for him.

(Digression: Has anyone else noticed that there's a distinct pattern to how Trump communicates? Anything he doesn't like gets two negative adjectives attached - not one, not three, but almost always two. And his people have started writing the same way - even his lawyers in legal briefs!)

Anyway, I try to ignore it. I need to ignore it much more than I do. Too much hyperventilating outrage, too little substance. I can't be bothered to care anymore.

Sorry, but a "land value tax" is one of the worst political propositions I've ever heard.

> I keep my resume and longer form career document up to date at least once per quarter. I list out the details of major accomplishments in STAR format while it’s still fresh. I have both a technical summary and a business oriented summary for non technical people.

I have a bookmarklet that opens a new gmail compose window, with the recipient being "me+journal@employer.com", and the subject being today's date. As I'm working throughout the day, I jot down what I'm working on.

I also used to review these every Friday, and type up a summary, and every few months - or as I'd remember to - update a "hype doc" that's basically like an internal resume that my manager can use to help argue for a raise for me, or whatever.

I also copy this data, without any stuff that might be considered company property, to someplace local I can access if I'm fired.
Under the hood, we're supporting multiple models that can be selected, but haven't optimized all the quantizations possible (the space is moving fast).

The range is 1GB - 24GB, depending on model selection, but would be amazing to push lower than that. 24GB is high end as only the NVIDIA XX90s can support those.
I don't hate cars. I own and drive a car, though I mostly take transit into SF to avoid the stress.

By geometry problem, what I mean is that an individual car just takes up far too much space (both while moving and while parked) to be compatible with even a moderately dense environment. You need some kind of rationing or metering.

The presence of cars alters the built world in a direction which favors more cars. There are more parking lots, which means less density, which means fewer people can choose to live closer to work, which means more cars, and so on. (Transit does the same in its own favor, of course. Transportation is quite fundamental.)

It is true that transit doesn't work as well with how post-war American suburbs are typically laid out. But it works quite well with the levels of density in pre-war "streetcar suburbs", like those built around the Key System in Oakland. I think the most reasonable solution for post-war suburbs is transit most of the way, and cars (robotic or otherwise) for the last mile.

Wrong, wrong. Opposite of everything he said. All his examples are backwards. The article is basically inversing the Single Responsibility Principle.

First of all, consistency does not matter at all, ever. THat's his main thesis so it's already wrong. Furthermore, all his examples are backwards. If you didn't know the existence of "bot" users, you probably don't want your new auth mechanism to support them. Otherwise, the "nasty surprise" is the inverse of what he said: not that you find you don't support bot users, but you find out that you do.

Build stuff that does exactly what you want it to do, nothing more. This means doing the opposite of what he said. Do not re-use legacy code with overloaded meanings.
Years ago in college I did a bit of work on a nuclear physics simulator (think: reactor modeling) that based its geometrical model on implicit surfaces, specifically R-functions (of which min(x,y) is an example), which have some neat properties such as being differentiable everywhere.
This is a good introduction (and probably the only one in English): https://ecommons.cornell.edu/items/35ae0f68-1af5-4f28-8b8b-7...

I've been away from the nuclear field for a while, but I imagine it's still using a lot of legacy Fortran codes to do modeling. Fidget has some interesting possibilities as a kernel for a new simulation package.

Even met my wife at one.
Burning Man's been dying slowly since about 2018, so pre-Covid. When I say dying, I don't mean "getting mainstream & EDMified" like all the old Burners have complained about since forever. I mean, the mainstream has stopped taking interest, and increasing portions of the tickets are getting taken by internationals because its passé in the USA, but still on some people's travel bucket lists. This year was the first year in a while with extra tickets available, but the writing has been on the wall for a while.

I'm sure raving will come back in 20 years like most fashion.

Unfortunately the results you get from doing that are pretty variable.

Not like you shouldn't go see a doc and get imaging and do all that (you should!) but every time I've gotten imaging done I've heard "you've got degeneration which is typical for somebody your age" -- my son just got an MRI for a work injury (paid for by Workman's Comp) and got told the same thing. Often your doc gives you an order to a PT and what sort of therapy you get from a PT is complete random and not evidence based.

Imaging might turn up a specific cause (maybe a tumour) but it is usually inconclusive. Studies tend to show low correlation between degeneration seen and back pain and my doc was clear it was the same when I was having serious pain in my knee.

You're right that centralization vs peripheralization is an important sign.

My understanding is that Brooklyn Mirage was engineered specifically to be both loud and at the same time permit a conversation with the people next to you, so your experience is a feature, not a bug. I think we’re all just not used to having that level of thoughtful engineering with that design criteria, so we just associate “too loud to talk” with “good.” I found the experience to be remarkable.

EVE is personally my favorite SIMD library in any programming language. It's the only one I've tried that provides masked lane operations in a declarative style, aside from SPMD languages like CUDA or OpenMP. The [] syntax for that is admittedly pretty exotic C++, but I think the usefulness of the feature is worth it. I wish the documentation was better, though. When I first started, I struggled to figure out how to simply make a 4-lane float vector that I can pass into shaders, because almost all of the examples are written for the "wide" native-SIMD size.
of course "normal viewing distances" is always implied when talking about monitors. And if you REALLY want to get pedantic you need to talk about pixels per degree. The human eye can see about 60. according to the very handy site https://qasimk.io/screen-ppd/

Eh, I don't think that lens is useful. It appears to me that the genocide very likely may not have occurred -- and certainly would have harmed fewer people -- if Facebook didn't exist.

It is not simply a matter of it happening elsewhere on the internet -- Myanmar is one of the countries that Facebook provided its Free Basics package to.

Of course, I think the bulk of the blame lays on those actively perpetrating the genocide. But I'm concerned mostly with outcomes, and it seems that with different behavior from Facebook, there would have been a different outcome in Myanmar.
This is a good habit for any able bodied person to get into. Not only can it help out someone who needs a closer spot, it doesn't even cost you time on average since you're less likely to be held up by traffic getting in or out of the spot. Plus adding a little more walking into the day is healthy.

I always shake my head at healthy people who block the traffic lane for minutes waiting for someone to load groceries and free up a specific spot, when there are dozens of open spots 40 ft away. Their laziness isn't even saving them any time or aggravation.
