I don't blame you if you aren't entertained. But this analysis is like thinking Moby dick is about hunting whales.
you know what else sucks? living in a low trust society where people game these return systems (which we also pay for).
No disagreement.
People don't typically start a Phd at 34. You're at a different level of maturity now.
"have no hope" actually means someone at the department refuses to sign your papers. I have never been treated with so little respect in industry.
Research in a Phd program is 90% long term habit, 10% creative musing. Marriage structure helps with that 90% part.
Why are they always trying to sell these things to audiences who are not interested?
higher dimensional vectors or matrices are still not tensors.

Of course there is always risk. But one of the supposed goals of fiat money and property rights is to reduce that risk, ensuring the ability to save into the future. There are countless examples of countries where that…

The comment is referring to playing loose with the currency, not a drop in supply or an increase in demand.
It's not good for society that ordinary people have to speculate their hard earned money just to keep it for retirement.
Even if it's good for GDP to have everyone spending every penny, it's not good for you.
Relatively constant demand, and difficult to increase supply.
Yep, societies just don't function until you establish a central bank with fiat currency and fractional reserve banking. It's a law of human nature.
fiscal hawks, like who? and with what power?
its really not. the math is a distant abstraction of a social subject
Differentiable programming is hardly a "subfield" it can be explained in a paragraph if you know calculus well. If there is any subfield, it's in researching specific compiler optimizations.
sales costs money
The most interesting part of this is the comments about software shifting from a normal career to a prestige target for wealthy families, and that this demographic shift has massive consequences on technology design and…

What if I have a performance problem I need to fix now?
Additional reasons: - there is less alternative hardware I want to use. I want Apple Silicon processors, materials, and there just isn't much high quality competition. - Because of inflation the Apple premium isn't as…
