It makes sense from a boolean perspective. E.g "I'll try and go to the store." If the try fails, you did not go to the store.
I agree with you. It's been my experience though that tracking down solutions manuals for textbooks is very hard. Presumably because they want them out of the hands of students (to prevent cheating).
There needs to be more resources for self-learning. Solutions need to be provided for problems, with clear explanations. It's a different mindset from a formal academic setting, where there's a strong focus on cheating…
I think it's naive to attribute all of the world's problems to "misinformation". You can give everyone the same information; in fact, we all already have the same information. But perspectives will vary, and there will…
Agree completely. I think the author misses the big insight here. Rather than universal deferment to authority, I think the insights here are a) that people overstate their confidence and b) not all science should be…
I enjoy my job and the lifestyle it provides. But as other have said, I tune out the "emergencies" and people panicking over it. It's all BS and I think it's important to recognize that. You're going to die in a short…
This is surely a stupid question: In the article, the graph sure looks like a right triangle, with a base of 2 and a height of 1. Wouldn't the area under this curve (from 0-2) be ~1?
I started going down the org-mode rabbit hole when I was investigating emacs last year. Then I came across Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/) and haven't looked back.
Good point. There's always a lot of self-righteous judgment with these sort of things. Not trying to necessarily defend Ms. Holmes, but the objective reality is that no one knows her motivations.
I view depression as the result of a faulty process. It seems to me that it's mistake to take a drug to correct these symptoms, rather than learning to control one's thoughts and perspectives.
Yep. I use the VIM extension for Vs Code. I do a CMD-SHIFT-P -> Disable Vim whenever I need this functionality. Not sure if there's a better way to do it.
I think there have been a series of misinterpretations that unfortunately result in a lot of confusion and (in my opinion) completely miss the point of these stories. I don't think 'God' is an 'entity' per se, I…
I think of 'the news' as a form of mind control. Whether or not is intentionally engineered as such isn't immediately relevant; ultimately, I think it's the effect on people that matters. There is no unbiased delivery…
No doubt, these censors and would-be censors have the best of intentions. But you've really got your head up your own ass if you convince yourself that you are protecting people by deciding the information that is…
This selective application of values (e.g. being in favor of free speech, as long as you like what is being said) has been going on forever. We have had a system set up to account for this in the U.S., when the…
Any sort of bureaucratically enforced 'fairness' is going to be good for a certain type of person, and bad for another type of person. It will disincentivize high performance, for better or worse.
Pretty cool. Looks somewhat similar to Dash (https://kapeli.com/dash)
I've noticed that AI-generated images give me a weird, 'skin crawling' sensation. Somewhat similar to nails on a chalkboard. Does anyone else experience this?
I feel the same way. My take away was that every system of logic will have some sort of "This sentence is a lie." type of paradox. But it feels more like a technical quirk to me than anything of real significance. The…
Some people may think that racism ended, but I don't think most do. In fact, I'd say this is a 'straw man', to quote the parent. I think the problem people have is seeing racism enacted to combat racism, which is just…
This is an interesting premise, but I don't think it really holds up. The world is absolutely too complex for any of us to understand everything, but this is not a problem. You can abstract everything away to 'black…
"I am really tired of white women's tears." This is a plainly racist comment.
Well said, and couldn't agree more. An actual democracy is a terrifying prospect.
TL;DR - Don't think about it, Just Do It. Nike had it figured out all along.
I personally found the disparity between my individual opinion and the crowd consensus was really interesting. It seemed to be a great game that fixed all of my gripes with hearthstone and magic. There was just this…
