The way math is typically taught at the lowest levels actively hurts mathematical ability. Just taking them out of those classes will help them.

Composition of mathematical notation is always terrible. Where do I write the -1 on the square root to indicate that I would like the preimage? Even worse, Where do I write this on a trig function?

No, it was not a good game, and it was not particularly well received. The nigh universal hatred for the game was not because the marketers did a bad job. It was because it was a bad game that they lied about being a good game. It was a case of fraud, and it was more or less repeated in exactly the same way with Sim City 2013.

It's worth noting that these two games bookend the career of John Riccitiello as the CEO of EA, and basically ever since then he has been the CEO at Unity.

Oh no, academics thinking about things.

If we lived without copyright the world would be different because of it. Insisting that a world without copyright look exactly like our own is dishonest

"staying out of trouble".

Staying out of the middle class more like.

if a firearm for children isn't a toy, what the fuck is it?

Seize their operations elsewhere?

what are you talking about?

markets are a construct of peacetime. self-sufficiency is not

Maybe to preserbe journalism, we should not enshrine into law the act of funding an institution that informs the people with one that lies to them.

You want to save journalism? Make advertising illegal.

As soon at the becomes prevalent, people are going to start fucking with it. For instance, I'm personally going to bring a big piece of posterboard with a car printed on it, and hold it out in intersections that I'm about to cross on foot.

A feature that lets an adversary take control of your car in this way is known as a bug.

No, the plan is to force poor people into becoming pedestrians, to lower the burden of traffic for the wealthy.

That requires a lot more infrastructure than a hole in the ground.

The problem with plastic recycling is not that it doesn't work. It doesn't, of course, but that's not the problem with it.

The problem with plastic is that it leaks into the environment. The only problem with a landfill solution for plastic is that not all of the plastic makes it into the landfill.

Textbooks have separate publications called errata, usually findable on the author's website, or your favorite search engine. You should basically never open up a textbook that you are independently studying from without also opening the errata.

Why? Are you just saying that because it sounds dramatic?

I claimed that it was a task that most people can do, but is really genuinely, intelligent. I actually thought it was everyone, but then you responded with your comment.

>ai generated contracts are the future.

Man, why do you guys get paid so much? Contracts need semantic correctness, ie the verification of the logical consequences of natural language. This is an AGI determining problem. At the point this exists, humans are basically obsolete as workers, and you don't have to worry about your law firm keeping up anymore.

You just cannot organize a rating system into a company. The more trust you accumulate, the more money there is to be made in selling out.

I'm not engaging in whataboutism. I'm engaging in an analogical argument. I'm making certain assumptions about this guys political leanings, but that's strawmanning at worst, and he's free to refute it if he isnt rate limited.

800 billion dollars in PPP loan forgiveness seems more palatable to you, maybe?

its very good for the first time you make something or if you arent used to the kitchen at a friends place, but efficient home cooking doesnt really resemble efficient restaurant cooking

2400-2600?

Seems like you just didnt read what I wrote.

mise en place is more efficient for restaurant kitchens, where you can get an assembly line rolling, but it is less efficient for home cooking.

Its a lot less stressful, but its clearly slower to not optimize your order of operations.

I feel like you shouldn't call it coq au vin unless you're using the male of the species.

No. Your attempt is now just shards of glass. It's borked. Before it was broken, it didn't work, but now its broken.

No.

What?

Say you're trying to invent a lightbulb. The first one ever, and it explodes when you plug it in. How would you describe its state?

No. The additional costs to the healthcare system due to people being overweight probably exceed 12000/person/year, but if not exceed it, they certainly come close. Moreover, it's not unheard of to mandate cheaper drug prices, and now that we understand how these drugs work, there will be more of them in the pipeline.

the funniest comment ever posted on HN was something like:

"everytime this blog is linked, I end up reading the whole thing"
