The reason I refuse to read about keto is that pretty much all doctors and public health organizations I’ve seen recommend basically the same things: whole grains, fruits, vegetables, replace saturated fats with…
Nassim Taleb suggests everybody but Nassim Taleb doesn’t understand risk in complex systems.
It’s not unidentifiable once you study more. Sigma “is” “roughly” the letter S, and stands for sum. Squiggly S stands for integral (roughly a sum). Intuition for why these things roughly “are” each other takes perhaps…
What the hell are you talking about dude
They might or might not deliver real value, but I’m sure most research scientists view a lot of software as simple implementation rather than real value. I think everyone needs to work together for these complex systems.
I wonder why the self-driving car hype folks don’t simply lobby to make more trains. (I mean the ones who have been successfully marketed to here, not the marketers).
It’s not always true. I know an undergrad who had a conference paper out in a direction a PI could use in grant writing.
Are they? As an undergrad I thought my professors were silly folks who got suckered into making a huge effort on obscure facts when they could easily make the same salary with less energy in software/IT. When a prof I…

I agree with some part of your second paragraph. If I met some guy who did nothing but code 14 hours daily for 10 years, my first guess would be that he may be mentally deranged and impossible to work with on a team.…
The author may simply have a crush on him.
Who cares? What do you care about? I care about money and food in the table and being able to live my life. Did that guy interfere with that or managing to continue a decent career trajectory? If not, who cares?
Christianity already solved this. There is a hierarchy but it’s invisible and you can’t access it. The one you see is not especially relevant to anything except social custom and determining your responsibilities.
That seems a bit odd. Maybe he’s not an effective manager, but why would you go out of your way to not do what he asked?
Do people do these kinds of computations often in practice?
I think most informed Economist readers already are aware that they are, to some extent, being influenced by the “subtle propaganda” of the publication. I believe it’s part of their “thing”.
Many folks will acknowledge the secular or scientific benefits of e.g. temperance with food or alcohol, or even restraint with sex. One thing I’ve heard few outside of religious encourage is humility. Some people will…
My mom was in extremely good shape with obese children. She was a homemaker who did hours of exercise everyday. As such she could basically eat potato chips and donuts and stay in great shape. For people who had to do…
I met one engineer with a similar attitude. He would often make fun of me for not knowing things. However, he completely lost it when I pointed out he didn’t understand some basic concept in the same way he would have…
That book is so hard.
If you use it normally (1-2 drinks or less max daily) it doesn’t seem like a drug to me. Basically a perhaps mildly unhealthy food item that makes you a bit more social for an hour.
They have a lot of books on the subject. Many of the articles in eg Harvard Business Review are about it. Who knows whether someone without the natural skill will ever become great, but I am convinced it can at least be…
I’m not sure they’re entirely separate. To phrase things in a way that you shouldn’t, and taking my perspective as a reasonably junior guy: you need one letter of reference from your job. If you have the “eulogy…
I wonder why some folks seem to only go on these huge drinking sprees. Why do few people seem to discuss simply drinking 0-2 drinks daily? Ie using moderation like an adult.
I’m not that other guy and I also haven’t read this paper but it seems quite thorough https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.04838
