I agree with you that it would be interesting to see a Taleb-Peterson conversation. Perhaps you might enjoy this podcast with Gad Saad and Taleb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ez…

Yes, one of the central points of his books ("Maps of Meaning", "12 Rules for Life", and "Beyond Order") is that meaning in life is found by taking on personal responsibility. A go…

A preprint of the paper is available on arXiv [1]. [1] https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.05080

p-values are commonly misinterpreted as the probability of a type-I error, i.e. that the null hypothesis is true but is being rejected. However, the p-value is actually a random va…

I am new to Arduino but very interested in starting. So far I have read that the Uno R3 is the best for beginners but now that the new Due is out will this be preferable for a begi…

The gravitational acceleration is equal to G * M/r^2 where G is the gravitational constant (G = 6.67 * 10^(-11) N * m^2/kg^2) M is the mass of Earth (M = 5.97 * 10^24 kg) and r is…

Could you elaborate a bit on your point 1/3? How come the little interest in this subject? Even though it contains no relativistic effects it would seem to have some importance in …

Achievements might work as motivation for some but it can also easily divert attention from work to simply 'hunting' achievements especially if you are competing with colleagues. W…
