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.
> property rights No you are conflating two topics. Property rights is not propping up stocks and bonds. It's protecting ownership so you can invest in building things over the long term without them being taken.…
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…

> what's stopping them from keeping the money in an index fund Risk of principal loss.
The comment is referring to playing loose with the currency, not a drop in supply or an increase in demand.
Even if it's good for GDP to have everyone spending every penny, it's not good for you.
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?
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.

This is like comparing an oscilloscope to the iPhone 15 because they both have a screen.
lambda calculus is one way to describe computable functions. this course chose to focus on Turing machines. category theory is historically not important to theory of computation, and it has questionable use if you…
Swift can be written in many ways with different performance tradeoffs. The slower ways looks like Objective-C or functional programming. The faster ways look like ergonomic C or C++.
Why are you interested? I recommend the short book "Godel's proof". Godel's work is wrapped up in historical context which is both interesting and distracting from the core idea. For example, Bertrand's Russells' work…

I don't have links handy but the gist of it is that regular people do not automatically interpret questions asked of them in a technical manner (carefully parsing AND and OR logically), but instead try to intuit the…
