Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I'm not a student there. I just saw that they were making some of their lessons publicly available and wanted to organize the material for myself. I'm experiencing their courseware through the

Hi is there a way to view the lectures in a more traditional way? For example, as one long video? I'm seeing lessons broken up into 2-5 minute long videos.

In reference to the open courseware, is there a way to either just download all of the videos in bulk, or view them as part of a single video? It looks like they're broken down into ~2 minute long video clips through the Ed platform, w

>Say I want natural numbers, I need to choose a concrete implementation in set theory In what situation do you ever actually need a set theoretic foundation of the natural numbers to get work done?

I've had the experience of working at a small business with extremely bad onboarding/organization: 1. documentation is nonexistent 2. broken processes that nobody can explain. 3. no clear direction to establish workflows. This is

My guess is that most mathematicians wouldn't consider that notation abusive. Why do you think it is? That notation is a convenience that allows us to represent a sum over a set where the elements aren't indexed by integers. So, i

"it is natural that curly braces can denote both a set and a sequence, depending on this implicit input." ? I don't even know where to begin. Overloading symbols in mathematics occurs all over the place. There's nothing

You encounter abusive language/notation basically everywhere in math. Open up a calculus/real analysis textbook. A lot of the old ones write sequences in the curly brace/set {x_n} notation: "let {x_n} be a sequence"

"eating meat carries health risks" "eating meat necessarily results in unethical treatment of livestock" Sounds like a load of barnacles. Even that third one about impacting the environment is likely bogus.

If you scroll down in the xcancel link (posted in the same thread), you'll find side-by-side picture comparisons of the code, comments, libraries.

It's true. There's a lot missing from the presentation. There's a lot of ways to dismiss this particular post. Would it be unfair to ask you to argue against a steelmanned version instead?

So you ignored the context surrounding this piece of advice? Yea, reinventing the wheel is a great way to learn. You're not going to hear an educator tell you to not reinvent the wheel.

I'm shocked that we allowed this to happen? It took decades for the research to catch up and, in that time, we've already saturated the environment?

I can't tell if you actually read the comment that you're responding to because you seem to be ringing the same bell. The issue at hand is creating opportunities for people who are clearly not cut out for white collar work. Framin

They mention towards the end that Trump signed an executive order to place FERC under federal control in order to fast track projects. There's a reason there's a lot of red tape, Mark. ffs

It's "practical" for the academic. Everyone else should just get a discrete math book and work through the first few chapters.

So because he was on the carnivore diet for 6 weeks, he must have been on it for decades. Logic check out. Thanks for clarifying.

>The weight loss doesn't come from a low-calorie diet, but from forced ketosis due to prolonged lack of glucose. Lol what the fuck? and yes, meat and foods high in fiber are satiating. That's common knowledge.
