Did you ever ask how they acquired those social skills if it didn't come naturally to them?

Electronics. Great way to explore art and science. Piano and Ableton. Also super fun and nice way to meet people

The books Make: Electronics and Learning The Art of Electronics are pretty good hands on resources.

I find it fairly cringe, personally.

> I don’t need millions of dollars or years of training to make something creative anymore. You never did... You just needed to get creative.

If you mean acquiring facts, maybe not. If you mean getting better at a skill such as programming or playing the piano, how could you possibly get better without challenging yourself?

It's rational for most candidates to study interview prep books because that is what the majority of companies want. Not saying I like it, but why would you want to filter out candidates who are just using basic common sense?

I don't know of anyone who is trying to be political when using those terms. It's just general internet slang younger people use at this point

Ok fine, but they could've just said 4 years ago instead and their fundamental point would've remained the same. The rate of progress is staggering.

I don't think any books really teach you that.

Of course it's not strictly necessary to learn the various levels of abstractions in computing. But some people just do it out of curiosity and wanting to know how things work from the ground up. These people typically tend to be smart

An AI being able to create arbitrary computer programs and work productively in an arbitrary codebase sounds basically like an AGI or something approximating it. Not sure if that's what you're implying is a few years away. I do th

Probably the DAW Ableton and the nvim extension for VS Code.

Programs and proofs are the same thing though according to the Curry Howard Correspondence, if I'm not wrong.

That just means there is going to be a whole lot more bad art in the world

I think you are missing the point of art if you expect rigour, though.

Thanks for the informative comment. Are there resources you would recommend for learning more about performant algorithms? At the moment I'm just messing around with JUCE

Blaming one side over another doesn't actually solve any problems, just increases polarization, which is the whole issue.

It's a primary source of information for over a billion people at this point. It's probably not a good idea to have that monopolized by corporate or government interest

Pretty sure he did this because MIT was not officially affiliated with the podcast

Can we really label changing "Man in the middle" to "Person in the middle" as "progress"?

Also Moxie was on JRE a few weeks ago

Are engineers creative? Physicists? Mathematicians? I don't know if you have a very narrow definition of creativity or if you seriously think that the people who created all the software that you use everyday are not creative

These toy projects are worth doing if you want to continuously build your skills and like knowing how things work at a fundamental level. If you want to create an OS, it will obviously never be used by anyone ever and in that sense it'

Seems counterintuitive. Naively, high GPA = High work ethic + IQ, which surely plays a role in job performance, no?

Are you really concluding those commenters are "alt right" based off of what they said? I find that bizarre

This is basically meaningless if you don't qualify why you think so. He is a harvard medical doctor and one of the leading researchers in the field, so I'd like to know what makes him a fraud

A bit off topic but how much of data science work requires this probability/statistics knowledge on the job? I've heard you basically need a PhD to do modelling and "real" data science

I am also from the area. I wonder how many Pakhtuns are on HN? Haha
