But the researchers also did their research using essentially the same models, so that isn’t a counterpoint to AI models being at the far frontier…

Most of this comment is not true. Static stretching does increase flexibility over time - it’s not the most efficient tool for it, but it’s certainly effective. Presumably the Cochrane study you’re referring to is “Stretching to prevent or

They are significant problems which experts have spent months or years studying. I heard a mathematician say that resolving non-sofic groups and Connes's rigidity would be career-defining for a mathematician.

Sourcegraph is the closest external thing I've found to Google's internal web tool for viewing code.

But that’s not what’s happening here - the model here is that every piece has a uniform probability of being selected next, in which case every possible subsequence appears in the limit.

Interesting - I use git checkout constantly, whenever I have a file in another branch or commit that I want to drag into this one wholesale.

There are a number of things that make code hard to reason about for humans, and combinatorial complexity is just one of them. Another one is, say, size of working memory, or having to navigate across a large number of files to understand a

I knew someone who missed out on a gold medal at the International Olympiad of Informatics because his sort comparator didn’t have a total order.

In this arrangement you don’t yet own the deferred compensation when you leave the company. It does not belong to you. Instead your contract with the company might say “we will set aside an amount of money (which isn’t yet yours) and portio

What a bizarre take. Who do you work with? The majority of people I’ve worked with of all ages at various companies default to all-lowercase in casual communication, including some of the most intelligent and expressive people. As the other

Emojis are a more granular and expressive form of the more traditional lol, rofl, haha, :), :(. They’re a useful side channel for expressing tone.

As other commenters have said, this could be burnout. In my personal experience, improving from burnout requires two things: an extended break from anything mentally demanding (preferably more than a month, but at least a few weeks), and a

The article doesn't say that it's no worse than a cold. In fact, all signs show that it can be worse than a common cold. This is a non-sequitur.

Any name can contain a space. For example "Ana Maria" is a common first name which contains a space. On official documents, generally a name will be separated into a given name and surname. In this case "<A> <B C>

If an investor wants returns that are orthogonal to the market or that avoid exposure to specific factors, then ETFs aren't really an option. This is why pension funds etc. will have some investments in index funds but will also divers

As another commenter mentioned, your description of type #2 clubs in London misses the mark completely, and I suspect you aren't actually aware that type #2 clubs as described actually exist (which is fine - many people outside the sce

Slimelight is truly special. There was a period of a few months where I'd go almost every Saturday night. That dancefloor is really something special at 5 or 6am, like being on another planet. Sadly it's still mostly quiet these d

Where in the UK are you? In London the type 2 clubs (Fabric, Village Underground, Oval Space, Pickle Factory, Corsica Studios, The Cause, Egg, E1, etc.) only open their doors around 23:00, and it'd be weird to show up before midnight -

I feel like there are at least two very distinct notions of "nightclub" (not counting gay clubs), and in online discussions people generally talk past each other without realising they're referring to very different things. I

The standard Google employee contract contains this restriction. It's easier for them to institute a blanket ban on open source contributions (including in one's spare time) and then consider exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Th

Not the previous poster, and not a maths expert by any means, but for example there are parallels between the rank-nullity theorem in linear algebra, the orbit stabiliser theorem in group theory, the splitting lemma in homological algebra,

I noticed that the rattling was most noticeable when I brushed my teeth with my electronic toothbrush. Not sure if the toothbrush caused it or not. I eventually got the faulty AirPod replaced.

Just commenting to say that I feel similarly to you, and I seem to be the only one among my coworkers that feels it to this extent. Good to know that there are others out there.

Computational and complexity theory are abstract mathematical subjects where numbers are either finite or infinite. A very large finite number is still finite. There is no meaningful notion of "so big that we can pretend it is infinity
