This is just the tip of an iceberg. Virtue signalling is at the core of everything nowadays.

Meaningless verbiage in speaking and writing, full of current memes, current useless abstract concepts and other bullshit.

Piles upon piles of useless, redundant abstractions, tons of bullshit code as in J2EE or current node_modeles mass idiocy.

And the real virtue is in making minimal, just right, as close to "what is" as possible, and almost no one of current imposters could do or even understand this.

They think Haskell is about monads lmao.

Obviously no, because the factors that would cause extreme weather events are not yet there.

In general, any abstract model has the same relationships to actual reality as cartoons - they look sort of plausible and even convincing, even when a cat or a mouse speaks perfect English.

There should be a clear warning statement, like with GMO labeling, that models are astrology with numbers instead of planets and stars.

And no, no matter how sophisticated, a model will never be more than a cartoon, in the same way that a map would never be a territory.

This is cancer, right?

There is nothing with amounts to an evidence, only speculations.

Evidences require at least an reproducible experiment.

Nothing based on estimated probabilities and correlations is an evidence by definition.

Again, this is nothing but hypothetical speculations with too many assumptions.

No better illustration is ever needed.

Steppenwolf expressed this much better.

And yes, watching certain professors (not YouTubers) makes one's heart run faster.

I remember prof. Brian Harvey 2008 course (Scheme based) of old MIT courser by Eric Grimsin. Or Systematic approach by Gregor Kiczales, or Dan Grossman's "Programming languages" course.

And then you stumble upon another node_modules shit...

Andrew Ng was also very cool.

This is technical wishful thinking, or an abstract tech, if you wish.

In the old times we called this "a solution in search of a problem", but these solutions are imaginary.

This, probably, hints the the top of a couple of bubbles.

A negative remainder is nonsense, isn't it?

"analysis"

There's nothing wrong in being alone. Some (mostly narcissistic assholes) even pay for fancy "spiritual" retreats and what not.

Why, this is exactly how vaccines work - they prime (or condition) the immune system, but it is the immune system that actually do the job in case of exposure to the virus.

Vaccination is neither prevents infection nor spreading. Its about efficiency of the response.

Thinking Fast and Slow has all the known answers.

Two systems metaphor is surprisingly good and correlates to Jekyll/Hyde and other classic notions.

Different subsystems of the brain could be synchronised and this is what all the eastern ancient practices are about.

To have an above average pay you have to show above average abilities on GitHub.

Bullshit, bullshit everywhere.

An abstract model can predict nothing, especially when the system is not fully observable, discrete, fully deterministic.

Abstract modeling is the modern age astrology.

Nord is vastly superior.

It should be some state actor, since such activities are costly and wasteful.

It could be US, China or Russia. US to fight "terrorism" (tax evasion), the later - their own critics and residents.

It seems that we degraded to the stage of theoretical technology (not to be confused with theoretical computer science) with pure abstract bullshit terminology and "models". The utter bullshit like in the last Friedman's Wolfram podcast (there is no multiple threads of time lmao).

This reminds me of literally years of Chainlink (scam) abstract bullshit (no wonder the guy studied abstract philosophy).

Musk was right with his cartoon tweet - this crap has no real demand. Web3 not needed.

Lol no. It is a whole sets of skills, from extracting just right abstracts from the problem domain and defining adequate sets of interfaces, to arrive at just right (clear, concise, mostly-functional) modular implementation.

Almost no one nowadays possess these skills. I we have is node_modules crap and J2EE-like design bullshit.

This like saying that poetry is just words and commas.

But he is just a kid, I know. ;)

This is a sect and abuse of a language in which words supposed to be associated with particular non-imaginary aspects of reality.

Logic "works" not because its rules are absolute, but because Universe has its structure and laws. Ignoring validity and non-contradiction of premises renders any conclusions meaningless (merely abstract Hegelian bullshit).

Causes (and premises) are not arbitrary so the assumption that everything can be deduced (proved) from anything is bullshit.

Applied math require a type discipline and abstract math is just a set of rules, like abstract logic. And this is my contribution to science.

It is either "Blow Horn" or "Horn Please" and it is a signal for request for overtaking. Acknowledgment is usually a sign by hand from a driver's window. Nowadays it is a blink of a turn signal.

BTW, hill are drivers in India and Nepal are much more skilled and civilized, especially Nepalese.

I really like the analogue with aluminium smelting. This is what bitcoin mining is nowadays, plus the increasing difficulty.

Prof of stake is analogous to Wall Street institutions and probably modelled after them.

Verbosity.

Number of unnecessary abstractions.

Yes, both of these sites are immensely valuable in the third world.

You can have your copyright madness in the first.

How can one model (or simulate) what one do not fully understood?

Remember that simulation of covid from UK with all the pomp and bravado? Not even close to reality.

By the way, all simulations have the same relationship to reality as cartoons. This is just philosophy 101.

Engineering here must be in quotes, because real engineering is about simplicity and justrightness, like any craft.

There is no such thing as time in this context.

It is an abstraction superimposed and assumed by an external observer.

Molecular biology does not have notion of time, only phases of other cyclical processes which is a completely different "mechanical" notion.

Vaccine does not prevent virus particles from entering and exiting one's body, so it is still about concentration of an aerosol in the air and the number of infected people around you.

What a vaccine does - it primes one's immune system, so it fight the virus way more efficient. And that's it. No miracles or invincibility.

Applicative is actually an artificial concept, much more awkward.

Anyway, making a hierarchy more consistent with mathematical tradition is a good thing.

As for usefulness, without redundant esoteric abstractions Monoid is all we need, and the abstract Monad type-class, of course (for building abstraction barriers at a type level).

The problem with Haskell is whole Himalayas of bullshit under which its clarity and principles has been buried.

Haskell became the way of "virtue" signalling for narcissistic snowflakes, second only to the Category Theory, which is, buy the way, is "empty" outside of monoidian composition and the notion of an abstract functor.

Because I don't see the point of having everything implemented in the same language, in sort of monolith with lots of complex dependencies.

For me, it is the same as to have a server in Mathlab.

Also, like I said, the code I am unreadable J2EE like mess of useless, redundant abstractions.
