It's him that made me understand linear algebra. College? No fucking clue what a matrix was. Now? a clear, intuitive understanding. I'm still struggling with concepts like trace, but he provided a base from which to I'm able

Oh, I see we've met! My current hypothesis is that a sever lack of self-esteem causes me to rely on esteem from others. But because negative interactions hurt so much more than good interactions feel good, I just end up avoiding others

At the end of the article, Scott essentially says the same thing, but emphasizing the other side of the coin: > [...] the question of whether the universe “really” “is” a simulation has barely come up. Why would it, when there are so ma

So... plenty of comments about font size. What do y'all think about the actual contents of the book? I've looked through it a bit and seems like an interesting concept--understanding why certain decisions were made in the history

I run my personal vps' and a site for a family member[1] on two "droplets" on digital ocean for $5 a pop and couldn't be happier with their service. Also their collection of articles is fantastic for finding out how to g

Your comment made me spit all over my laptop. I'm just letting you know because I think I'd appreciate knowing if something I wrote caused such a reaction. I actually worry a lot about whether or not a comment I make or want to ma

I'll repeat what I posted on facebook because I thought it was clever: "Yes, but only if we tell them to dream about electric sheep." So, tell the machine to think about bananas, and it will conjure up a mental image of banan
