This is a great analogy, and one I'm surprised more people haven't raised. Instead all your hear are comments about mathematicians being sour losers, they should have know the model terms of service etc...

The crazy thing is, they did have warning, but these were ignored due to organizations failing to share information amongst each other.

Robert Fitzgerald also here. Was drawn to the more poetic verses.

Sometimes reading these articles I can't help but think we've pushed ourselves into a local but sup-optimal maximum technologically speaking. i.e. If we didn't follow the path of trying to stick everything into an iPhone&#x2F

I have no idea why these sorts of posts are popular. Past college you're not going to learn physics by trying to self-study an entire university course. The best way to learn is just to pick a small part of physics you'd like to l

Great point, I think the argument you could make about Tao (fairly or unfairly) is he never tries to build that framework.

That's not what op is arguing. To use your example, coming up with singular examples of continuous non-differentiable functions is an example of "ugly" mathematics, whereas putting them into a nice framework where they can be

Education yes, research unfortunately no. I'm not saying research outside of academia is not possible, I'm just saying it's not taken seriously and this needs to change. We really do need to go back to the 19th century model

Why not have the program touch a file on success?

agreed, imagine what a Michael Lewis type writer could make of this story

There was a comm where Peter attia asks Epstein if he knows Simons. Epstein replied, never met him.

And Jim Simons also comes out of this looking good.

yeah, they seemed to be nitpicking there, better to focus attention on what someone's actually trying to commit

Great list, and most of those don't involve big tech. I think what your list illustrates is that progress is being made, but it requires deep domain expertise.

I'm not disagreeing with the fact that there's a shit ton of founders out there looking for a quick pay day (I'd guess the majority fall into that category). Just pointing out there are exceptions, and the exceptions can be q

I don't know, look at someone like https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dmbaggett he seems to be an entrepreneur who enjoys what he's doing.

Fixed typo! Yeah, alone time is inherently a male thing, and is probably what drove a lot of the historical breakthroughs in the past. This need to always be socializing is a very feminine construct and probably does more damage in the long

My criticism with this article is that the author seems to lump all time alone behavior into the 'bad' category. What about the guys spending time alone to work on their guitar solo, dive deeper into a branch of AI math, or how ab

Honestly all these cute websites give people a false sense that they're actually learning something. The only way to learn this stuff is get one of the million good LA books out there and work through the problems. But that's hard

Yep, but I thought he touted his martial skills as being able to beat any discipline.

I never understood the obsession with Bruce Lee as a fighter (not considering his acting/stunt scenes here which deserve to be judged on their own merit), it seems any half decent Judoka or amateur boxer would have probably beaten him

Doesn't fortran also support the ability to define arrays with arbitrary bounds i.e. (-4, 5) which is quite difficult todo in other languages

Yeah exactly, the people coming through these pipelines aren't the next batches of Moore's or Noyce's.

Nothing really to add, but the NSA museum outside of DC is really cool. I think this is a good example of a museum that works well for adults/kids alike.

People have short memories, they'll come out of the woodwork in 2028 claiming the dems are taking away their freedoms.

Yep, it's insane that SWEs working on products like pinterest earn more than engineers working on major infrastructure projects. Honestly without direct government intervention I think market forces will always lead to this outcome.

I think a lot of people are missing the point. Most likely what's happening here is that the issuers (not Visa/MC) see a large number of chargebacks/fraud for adult content sites and have determined that it's much easier
